CONTROL PANEL
The fire panel must be sited internally, in an area
where it is readily accessible by staff on duty and the
fire brigade. The area should be clean and dry and
you should take into account any likelihood of
tampering or vandalism. The ambient light and
sound levels should allow the status of the indicators
to be clearly seen and the internal sounder to be
heard. Full details can be found in BS 5839: Pt1: 1988:
Section 15.3 "Fire Detection and Alarm Systems for
Buildings".
