ProFyre C8 User & Maintenance Guide + Log Book Fault Condition Different Types of Fault The fire alarm monitors itself, and any equipment connected to it, for any faults that can occur. If a fault occurs, the panel responds by activating its Internal buzzer and lighting the General Fault light and any other Fault light(s) relevant to the particular fault.

ProFyre C8 User & Maintenance Guide + Log Book Short Circuit Fault If the fault is a short circuit fault, then the S/C LED will be flashing. This S/C LED will be flashing for S/C faults on the zone and sounder circuits. It can take up to 60 seconds from repairing a fault for the display to clear.
On the ProFyre C8 panel, the fault indications (except system fault) are non latching. That is, when the fault has been cleared, the fault indication will turn off. When all faults have been cleared, the panel will return to its quiescent (normal) condition.
ProFyre C8 User & Maintenance Guide + Log Book Disablements Reasons for Disabling Certain Parts of a Fire Alarm System Certain parts of this Fire Alarm Panel can be temporarily disabled (i.e. switched off) to suit prevailing conditions. For example, if there is a risk of a false alarm in a zone, for example, from vehicle exhaust smoke in a loading bay, it is possible for the user to disable that zone during the risk period and then enable it again afterwards.
9.2 Sounder Delay Setting On the ProFyre C8 panel, the sounder delay can be programmed on zones 2 – 8 (zone 1 cannot have a delay). That is, all zones will be delayed by the same amount. The delay can be set between 1 minute and 10 minutes, or the delay can be left off (sounders activate immediately). Changing the delay time should only be done by the engineer responsible for setting up the system.
ProFyre C8 User & Maintenance Guide + Log Book 10 Zone Test 10.1 Why use Zone Test To aid commissioning and assist routine maintenance checks, a non-latching ‘One Man Test’ facility is available.
