How the Control Panel Indicates an Active Supervisory

The system indicates a Supervisory alarm when a monitor module point programmed with a
supervisory Type Code activates. The panel will react differently depending on whether or not there
are higher priority unacknowledged events.
When no higher priority unacknowledged events are exist, the control panel:
•Produces a warbling audible tone (if the piezo is enabled)
•Activates the Supervisory relay (TB2) if it has been selected for supervisory
•Flashes the
SUPERVISORY
•Displays a Type Code that indicates the type of supervisory signal being generated
•Displays
SUPERVISORY
specific to the device
•Sends a Supervisory message to the History buffer, installed printer and annunciators.
When an unacknowledged event with a higher priority exists, the control panel retains the
indications of the higher priority event (the message, lit LED, audible tone, etc.) while activating
the Supervisory relay if it is selected for supervision, flashing the
a Supervisory message to the history buffer, installed printer and annunciators. If there are silenced

How to Respond to an Active Supervisory

If the control panel indicates a Supervisory condition, the operator can do the following:
1. Press the ACKNOWLEDGE soft key to acknowledge the Supervisory message.
2. Press the MORE INFORMATION soft key to display the MORE INFORMATION screen and
view additional information on the device and possibly preprogrammed text for recommended
action. ( Refer to Figure 1.7 on page 16 for an example of this screen and an explanation of its
fields.)
3. Investigate and correct the condition causing the Supervisory.
Note: A supervisory condition caused by a device with a "tracking" type code automatically clears
and restores the panel to normal when the condition causing its activation disappears.
4. Press the SYSTEM RESET soft key to clear any supervisory condition caused by a device with
a latching type code: the supervisory will not automatically clear when the condition causing it
