“pre-alarm” threshold. The ARIES can also enter the Pre-Alarm State if it receives a Pre-Alarm Level-1 or -2 signal reported by a high-sensitivity smoke detector (HSSD) communicating through the Intelligent Interface Module (IIM).
Page 191: What To Do When A Pre-Alarm Occurs
3-2.5.7.3 How to Reset the Control Unit After a Pre-Alarm Condition The ARIES Control Unit resumes normal operations when it receives "Pre- Alarm Off" messages from all previously-alarmed automatic initiating devices unless one or more latching outputs such a control unit based notification appliance circuit has been turned on.
Page 192: Concurrent States
3-2.5.8 CONCURRENT STATES It is possible for the ARIES system to be in more than one of the event-driven, Off-Normal Mode states concurrently. In general, any new event, regardless of its type, is prioritized for immediate display, and the control unit's application program runs to activate the outputs, if any, associated with the new event.
Page 193 This system enters the alarm state when devices such as an automatic detector, a manual-alarm station, or a waterflow switch reports as an alarm event. The ARIES System uses temporal-coded horns and strobes (or other method of non- voice-messaging, public notification acceptable to the authority having jurisdiction) to notify the occupants to evacuate the building.

Page 199: Level-3 Display Limitations
3-2.5.8.9 Level-3 Display Limitations The ARIES can display a maximum of 300 active trouble, supervisory, pre- alarm, and alarm-verification messages. However, new events in excess of the 300 active reports will be processed by the control unit, and all outputs associated with the 300th (or higher) event will be activated as programmed in the control unit's application program.
Page 200: 3-2.6 System Start-Up
PRELIMINARY PROCEDURES Ensure that the following tasks were successfully completed: • The ARIES Control Unit is securely mounted in a clean and dry area that has a normal range of environmental temperatures. • The power supply unit has been configured correctly for the AC supply voltage.

It is important to proceed in a step-by-step manner when you start up, test, and commission a networked ARIES System. The objective is to have all the individual control units that comprise the network clear of all Off-Normal events, and fully tested as stand- alone control units, before any attempt is made to network them.
