Silencing the panel buzzer

The VM-1 control panel sounds the panel buzzer when an event message is
posted into one of the event message queues. Pressing the Ack/Panel Silence
button or acknowledging the event message silences the buzzer. The panel
buzzer automatically re-sounds when a new event message is posted or when
the panel trouble re-sound timer expires (typically after 24 hours).
Notes
• The panel buzzer may be configured to sound periodically to remind that the
panel has been silenced.
• For nonlatching events, the panel buzzer automatically silences when the
event is restored.
• Pressing the Panel Silence button also silences the buzzer on remote
annunciators, provided that the remote annunciators are communicating.
To silence the panel buzzer:
1. Press the Ack/Panel Silence button or acknowledge the event message.
