The upper line of the LCD display shows the verification time remaining to
receive an alarm confirmation signal from the smoke detector. The
verification time will continually decrease in one-second intervals. The
control unit will return to Normal Mode if the smoke detector does not
reconfirm the alarm condition or if no other alarm-initiating device reports
at any time prior to the expiration of the verification period. A verification
off event is stored in the event log if neither an alarm reconfirmation nor
a secondary-alarm message is reported.

SUPERVISORY STATE

The ARIES Control Unit enters the Supervisory State when an initiating event
occurs such as a monitor module report of a low-air-pressure condition in a pre-
action-sprinkler system. It also occurs when any SLC-based initiating or control
device, an IIM initiating device, or any control unit based output circuit, is
isolated.
The upper line of the LCD display shows the supervisory event by the device
address, the state change, and the device type. The lower line indicates the up-
to-40-character message assigned to the supervisory device using the ARIES
configuration program.
