How To Reset the Control Unit After an Alarm Condition
The ARIES Control Unit will not reset and resume normal operations unless
it has received Alarm Off messages from all previously alarmed initiating
devices. This means, for example, that:
•
All automatic initiating devices such as smoke detectors are
measuring obscuration levels below their programmed alarm
thresholds
•
All manual stations have been reset and are in non-activated
positions
•
Sprinkler system water has been shut off and all waterflow switches
have stopped reporting discharge conditions
Press the <RESET> Key to resume normal operations after all alarm-
initiating devices have transmitted Alarm Off messages.
Note: It is possible that one or more trouble and/or supervisory messages
will be reported after the system-reset operation is performed. For
example, a special extinguishing system may need to be recharged
or a sprinkler gate valve may be in an off-normal position.
Servicing personnel must take prompt action to restore the system
to normal operating conditions.
