General Description
The Saffire is a microprocessor controlled fire alarm control panel. It is
provided with one or two sense zones (detector zones) to connect to fire
detection devices, two alarm zones (bell zones) to connect to audio/
visual devices and a set of volt free changeover contacts which operate
on fire. If a fire is detected by a device on a sense zone, the alarm
zone devices will operate automatically and the zone that detected the
fire will be indicated on the front panel. The panel also allows the user
to operate the alarms manually.

Operation
- You will need to know the access code during installation.
Installation of the panel should be carried out by qualified
personnel.
Using the metal box as a template, mark the position of the fixing holes
on the wall. Drill and plug the wall then screw the panel to the wall.
Ensure the panel is free from knockout discs, swarf and other debris.
Do not connect any cables until after the following test is performed.
All end of line resistors should be fitted in the panel at this stage.
Connect the panel mains input to an exclusive 240V AC fused supply.
Switch the mains supply on. The internal buzzer will sound. Connect
two sealed lead acid batteries to the panel. They should be connected
in series, providing a 24V DC supply. With both the mains and battery
supplies connected, the panel should be silent and in its normal
operating mode (power lamp on, alarms & buzzer silent).
