The control panel maintains a history file of the last 800 events, each with a time and
date stamp. History events include the following:
• All alarms, troubles and operator actions, such as: Acknowledge, Reset, Signal
Silence, Alarm Activate, and Walk Test.
• Programming entries, along with a number (0-9) indicating the programming
submenu (for example, 0=Clear).
The control panel contains two event buffers: a History buffer that can store up to 800
events (all types); and an Alarm buffer that can store up to 200 alarm events.
