How to Reset the Control Unit After a Trouble Condition
Trouble conditions are non-latching, except for an open circuit in an SLC
configured for Class-A, Style-6 or -7 operation. There is no indication that
a trouble event has cleared when multiple, acknowledged troubles are
present. The only indication will be that the trouble event as depicted in
Figure 3-7 has disappeared from the set of manually scrolled events and
that the total number of troubles displayed in Figure 3-8 has decreased.
The system will automatically return to normal operations when all of the
trouble events have cleared if events were non-latching troubles.
Press the <Reset> switch to return to normal operations after an open
circuit in an SLC configured for Class-A wiring has been repaired.
ALARM STATE
The Alarm State occurs when the ARIES receives an emergency signal from an
alarm-initiating device such as a smoke detector, a manual release station, or a
waterflow switch, or a Level-2 Alarm signal reported by a high-sensitivity smoke
detector (HSSD) communicating through the Intelligent Interface Module (IIM).
The upper line of the LCD display shows the event by the device address, the
change of state, and the device type. The lower line indicates the up-to-40-
character message assigned to the initiating device using the ARIES configuration
program.

The following actions also occur when any alarm condition is reported:
•
The Alarm LED on the display flashes
•
The internal buzzer sounds continuously
•
The alarm event is stored in the event log
•
The alarm message is transmitted to peripheral devices such as RDCMs and
ATM-Ls, if applicable
•
The alarm message is communicated via the NIC and RS-232 ports, as
applicable
•
Point- or group-specific and general-alarm outputs will activate, including
previously-silenced outputs.
What to Do When an Alarm Occurs
Press the <ACKNOWLEDGE> Key to change the Alarm LED from flashing
to steady illumination and to silence the internal buzzer.
It will be necessary to press the <ACKNOWLEDGE> Key once for each
device in alarm if multiple unacknowledged alarm events are present. All
alarm acknowledgments are logged.
The display changes to indicate the next unacknowledged alarm event in
the case of multiple alarm events.
The active alarms and acknowledged alarm-initiating devices can then be
manually displayed, in the format of Figure 3-10, in order of occurrence
