Fire Alarm Test
Your building through routine safety fire drills is subject to a fire alarm test. When this test is carried out a series of safety circuits in various pieces of plant are initiated.
The safety circuit on your control panel will shut down all main circuits do stop essential plant. This is a safety feature to stop things like air handling units or other plant from exacerbating a fire scenario.
Should this be a simple fire alarm test then the fire alarm unit will need to be manually reset.
Resolution: Establish it is not a genuine emergency. If not then reset the fire alarm panel to initiate a non fire status. The controls panel will return back to automatic mode.
Ok you have an issue. Lets get you sorted out then.
