In today's video, I got a question from one of the subscribers and it was concerning about the panel. Actually, the question was, I'm coming as a security guard very new. Please, can you help me how I heard of the fire alarm panel? How do you go with the fire alarm panel? I got so concerned about the question. Yes, we need to help one another. We need to help one another to grow, to understand especially for the new people coming. What we call security, security jobs in the Gulf countries. It may not be here, it may be Bahrain, it may be Saudi Arabia, it may be Dubai or it may be also in Qatar. But remember, as a security guard, some of the skills you get to learn will be how better you can take care of the fire alarm. Do you know the fire alarm? Yes. That is the question and that is what you expect to know. Remember, I told you, some companies do not give what we call on job training and they require you being recruited from your country to know some of this kind of tactical, to know some of these small basics that you can learn. But remember, all things we may not learn them by training, but also we may learn them by seeing or even the colleague I work with him may be a little bit better than me. So I get to learn. In today's video, I want us to try to see. I know most of you. You might be deployed or in a location where you are only one security guard. You need to take care of the fire alarm panel. But things get off worse one day or some time. You don't know what to do and your employer expects you to know. So what do you do? What do you have to do? So in today's video, I want us to learn some of these more simple basics of the fire alarm panel. Trust me, by the end of this video, you must be able to grasp something and know something that is going to help you. In case you go to another area to work or in case you go to an interview and they ask you about the panel, about the fire alarm panel, you will be able to know. By the way, don't turn into this video until the end as we try to see. We try to learn a little bit of what you call the fire alarm panel. Remember, in the Gulf countries, most of these buildings you get to work to, most of those buildings you get to work to, they have fire alarm panels. There is so much sense with fire. And this as a security guard, by the fact that you are from a new country, you need security, they expect you also to know this. So by the way, share this video to friends, friends, put a comment in the comments section and I will be able to get back to you as we get to learn to some of these basics that we need to know. Don't forget by the way to subscribe to this channel. Let's go straight into the video and see what is the fire alarm panel. How does it work? What can you do in case there is fire? Then what are your roles as a security guard when the fire alarm panel is activated? By the way, this will depend on the instructions from either your supervisors or your building management you are working or even your employer himself depending on the contract he has. Right, let's go straight into the video. Hi guys, right now we in front we have what you call a fire alarm panel. I know most of you have seen this fire alarm panel in buildings where you work or it can be in hotels. In most of the buildings you've seen the fire alarm panel because I told you this in the Gulf countries there's so much sensitive with fire like anything else. So you've seen such kind of things it's called a fire alarm panel and this is exactly how the panel looks like and this is what the panel has. Remember it may not be the same type of panel in your building but the different types of panel. First of all what you need to understand what is a fire alarm control system. Remember a fire alarm control system is a system that is warning people when smoke, fire, carbon dioxide or other fire related emergencies are detected and this may be activated automatically because when you look at the fire alarm itself the fire alarm panel is connected to a number of systems a number of activations activations devices that will alert the building or will alert the person that is something that is wrong in any particular room, in any particular corridor or even in a particular place that is adjusting or that is in the building because it has what we call detection devices that are being attached to it. Remember when we are talking about a fire alarm control panel it's just a conventional alarm control panel which employs more than one or more circuits connected and these circuits that are connected together they ignite what we call the devices are usually smoke detectors most of you have seen smoke detectors that when something is wrong then definitely this will definitely trigger it off and it will make an alarm that everyone will get to know that something is not right at one moment of time and someone may ask me a question that what is a fire alarm control system what are the components remember when we are talking about components of fire alarm systems we are looking at initiation devices and such initiation devices that we may talk about we may talk about what you call the pool stations most of you have seen the pool stations in the buildings smoke detectors we talk about the heat detectors by the way there is a difference between a smoke detector and a heat detector when we are talking about a smoke detector it just detects the fum of the smoke and it will automatically activate when the particles of the molecules of the smoke move into that device then it will activate to show to alert the building that something that is not right and when you look at the heat detectors this only will detect the rise the rise and the rate of temperature remember they are fixed at a given temperature so when the heat the temperature of that heat goes beyond then probably that one will be activated and mostly of those heat detectors I think we have seen them being put in what we call the kitchens where this or is cooking fire or cooking spark that comes out of the time at a bit of it all remember when we talk about the components we are looking at the smoke detectors we look at the heat detectors we look at the manual call points what you call the manual call points we have this one announcement page we have the module phone here pager most of you have not seen that but you know we talk about notification appliances the notification appliances we have very many notification appliances we shall go through them what you call the notification appliances we also have what we call the fire sprinkler system the fire sprinkler system goes up and they will give out they will pop up in case of any fire that is being detected at a given temperature they will raise up and they will begin releasing water that is filled up with the to try to turn of the building we have what you call switches flow control switches we have isolated standard switches and modern module at a time so that is a little bit we can know but remember still something that you need to know for your own information these alarms the fire alarm panels are in different forms we have the different styles we have the coded we have the coded panels we have the conventional panels we have the addressable panels then we have what we call the madplex fire system that is for your basic information but in today's video we want to see what is a fire panel what is a fire alarm panel and what does it do what can you see if there is a kind of detection of fire what is going to happen at a given time so this is what we call the fire alarm panel this is what we call the fire alarm panel remember it has different buttons we have the power we have the test bason we have the CPU fade depending on which panel you have in that building then we have what we call the disabled then we have what we call the reset the alarm silence then what we call the drill that screen that you see is like a mobile it's called a display screen and down you'll have what you call an alarm button you'll have a supervisory button you'll have a trouble then you'll have to do what you call a monitor panel this is a trouble you see where it's a little bit breaking it will show you if there's any bit of trouble then it will give up the light it will turn to light then you also have CDs like mobile phone you'll have where you have the previous where you can try to go back and see where the fire alarm was in which particular area location and in case you missed out then we have the details the text messages then we also have the command what we call the command menus then these are levels we have the levels per clamp of the levels we have the P1 depending which area when the alarm sounds it will definitely tell you exactly where that alarm is in the actual location then we go down here we have the announcement or the pager we call it the announcement or the pager column where we have this announcer in case there is real fire what you need to do you need to page you need to date the old building because you are not going to move to each and every floor to announce but you will get a pager you will place in the pager and you make a call and that pager call will be an announcement that will be made by the message will flow from one building to from one level to another level that will enable people to evacuate in one moment of time still under the pager what you call the caller system and this is what you call a modular caller in case there is fire and you need to go up the floor you can still receive from here and communicate with the person who is up I will show you those other points when we go up to the floor where you will communicate and you can communicate with the fire fire fire detection what you call the fire civil defense in any way or if you have to have a communication apart from the pager to alert residents you can also have this modular caller that you can use to have a communication with someone with A that may be on a 7th floor or 10th floor depending on what and it also has what you call the display remember these are kind of these are kind of systems that will run with the system that in case of anything when they need to rectify this is they will get the information and this down here we have what you call the sound calls these are called the sound calls these are called the sound calls of the panels and if we go here you see still we have to see what you call the sound call these are sound call boxes and these are all if CP-3 and these are all sound boxes these are what called battery panels the battery panels for the sound cards if all know here and this is what we call the alarm power supply this is called the alarm power supply and this is exactly that I want to show you and some of you we are looking at what you need to do when there is a fire alarm remember the standard operation procedure in responding an alarm one in case there is a fire alarm detection in the panel when there is a fire alarm detection in the panel this one is going to show right over here or right over here it's going to turn red meaning if it turns red here the fire alarm is on there is a fire alarm in the building depending on which level and here right through here this is the display it will tell you there is a fire alarm in floor 2 or in room number 2 or even in the bedroom it will actually give you the location of the area why? because each room you may find it gives you that address as according to what you call that detector that is in that area that it may be a smoke detector or it may be a heat detector at that time so when there is an alarm it will come and it will appear red here showing there is an alarm what you need to do first of all what you need to do is you will have to silence you will have to silence the alarm you will have to silence here the alarm you press the silence button then the alarm will silence meaning that the homes what we call the home the sounds homes in each floor or in any area that is being activated world stop alarm old stop making that sound at that time so after you alarm silence after you alarm silence you will then come back and do what you call the panel silence when you do the panel silence after you do the panel silence you will have to move you will have to you will have to to press the alarm you will press what you call the alarm then you will actually find out exactly area or the person one person will have to go up to the location which is being displayed here when that location is being displayed you go and found out exactly in that location what is the problem or what has caused the alarm to be activated in that area so what will happen is that after that and detecting the exact location and you finding out exactly what is the immediate check what is the immediate problem or is it real fire detection if it is not real fire detection if it is a false alarm if in case it is a real fire you need to activate the nearest manual call point or what you call the call immediate panel call operator or instruction or press what you call the drill button so that is where I told you that normally the communication comes between here that in case it is real fire you will communicate with the person that is on the floor using this call module and when you call this call module you will get that information you will have that information when it is real fire or when it is real fire then you have to activate what you call the drill button this is what you call the drill button when you activate this drill button what it means is that the whole building the whole horns will begin sounding on the floor meaning that will be alerting people to evacuate of the building to evacuate to the nearest exit to the nearest exit other than using the elevators because they will also all be stuck down to the ground that no one can use them so they will have to realize emergence exits or nearest evacuation we call them the evacuations exits at one time of the time but if it is false alarm if it is false alarm then what you can do the person in charge the person in charge of that place he can do what he can do silence, he can reset the alarm back to normal and he can reset back the elevators because by that time when there is an alarm remember all the elevators will be put down to will come down on the ground floor that means they will be out of use at that time and the only elevators you can be accessing those are what we call the manual service lift elevator and the ambulance elevator those are service elevators that you can use at that time so that's what you need to do and in case it is real fire then and this need to evacuate then you will use what you call the pager we will use what you call the pager when you press in here you press ready to the pager and when you press the pager when you press the pager it will tell you all call calls minus phone page evacuation alert so if you are to alert people that is a false alarm then you will press all call when you press all call here then the whole call will go to all floors and it will alert all people that it is a false alarm they should not panic and say in one position but remember if there is need to evacuate then you will press what you call the evacuation button and after you have pressing the evacuation button then probably it will also alert people and it will let them know that that they need to evacuate and they use what you call the next or the nearest evacuation points as you've been told about the evacuation procedures of what to do or what you need to do during the evacuation process so I think that is what you need to do so the most important point is for you to know how to pano silence in case of anything you do not reset the alarm unless you find out the exact location or what is the problem in that area of the alarm and that's when you first find out the location, you go to the location then you definitely need to fight out and find out and do that but remember that in the event of activation of the fire alarm in the building when there is real fire what you need to do with the announcer, the pager you need to announce 3 times mostly what you do, you need to announce 3 times you can say ladies and gentlemen your attention please the fire alarm has been activated in the building we are investigating the situation please remain calm, thank you that is a very good message it can flow to all flow and people will stay calm some may be disabled some may be small children to make that alarm very fast so that people don't live out of panic at one moment of time but remember that is one course of the event but remember also there is another situation where in the event where people need to evacuate from the building you also need to announce 3 times you can say ladies and gentlemen your attention please there is exist an emergency situation in the building please evacuate by the nearest exit staircase obey all instructions given by the fire warning remember to avoid use of lifts that is one you are alerting people you are alerting people to evacuate using what you call the pager remember what you use what you call the pager and this is all the information will be recorded here in what you call the pager this is a second display of the fire alarm so I think those are basics that you need to know for a security guard depending on how the instructions you are being given I think the most important thing is to know where the fire alarm is and you are reporting to your supervisor where the fire alarm is and the rest of the things I think will be done by the people or technicians that are really trained to do that but in case of an emergency you can still take up at one moment of time and then you can do you can still try to have that basic knowledge at one moment of time remember we talked about the fire alarm fire alarm silencing the pano silencing checking the area you verify the area the information of the fire alarm and the location will be displayed right in display this is called the display point so it will display in case it is on the floor it is on the second floor and you will probably be aware of that so what you need to know is you need to be very careful to know what is the exact location and what you need to do where you need to press so that you don't make a mistake in one way or the other still something I need to show you is what we call a lift supervisory pano this one is a switcher lift it will definitely show you it is a fire alarm all the elevators will come back to the ground floor all the elevators will come back to the ground floor remember all the fire alarms all the elevators will come back to the ground floor meaning that there is fire and it will definitely give you a show which flow now for example right now here you see the elevators are normal there is nothing problem if there is an emergency all the emergency lights will light on depending on which elevator at that time it will still show you or to still the lights and show you to show you that the ground floor and the fire alarm or this fire in the building they will never be working again when it is a fault it will definitely show you a particular lift that has a fault which cannot be used and if it is maintenance still it is going to show you if it is a maintenance still it is going to show you which lift is under maintenance which is L5 which is showing and if it is home someone attending or auto it will definitely all show you now right now when you see here it is showing you what you call the auto auto the on auto meaning that you can still move and get on still down here in all the lifts we have what you call the lift calls and this is definitely where you can normally operate this and trigger up it is still the same that is receiving the calls it will definitely show you which exact location or which lift or in case someone is stuck in the elevator you can still know someone inside may press that call button you can receive from here then you know someone is stuck in that lift in this period of time and needs emergency rescue at a time thank you so much for tuning in this channel we should be discovering more of these more basic things that basic knowledge that you need to have or need to know in using some of these gadgets because remember some of this time some of these trainings we are not given it at one moment of time we are not given we only deposit to locations to go and work but you need to have this basic knowledge because your employer assumes that you have a little bit of experience and you know some things if you are so lucky enough in some company you may be given a training but in some companies you may not given that training thank you so much for tuning in this channel don't forget to
