OPERATING THE PANEL
General
The panel operates in 1 of 2 modes - Normal mode or Supervisor mode. In Normal mode the
Supervisor mode LED is extinguished. In Supervisor mode the Supervisor LED is continuously ON.
Control of the facilities at the panel is available via the keyboard. A key press is acknowledged by a
blip of the internal panel buzzer. All keys that are active in the Normal mode have their legend actual-
ly on the key itself, whereas all those facilities that are active once in the Supervisor mode have their
legends above the corresponding key. For example, in Normal mode pressing the SILENCE BUZZER
key will silence the internal panel buzzer. However, if in the Supervisor mode pressing the same key
will perform a Lamp Test.
Normal Mode
This is the condition the panel is generally to be found in. From the Normal mode the user may:
Silence Buzzer:
The user can silence the panel buzzer by pressing the SILENCE BUZZER button on the
keyboard. The buzzer will then only sound approximately once every 10 seconds. NOTE
that this does not silence any alarms, only the buzzer within the panel.
Entering the Supervisor mode:
By entering a 4 digit access code the user may get into the Supervisor mode. The access
code for this panel is 2214. By pressing the numbered keys in the correct order, and then by
hitting the ENTER key, the user will see the Supervisor mode indicator come on. Note that
the buzzer will sound when it has recognised each key press. You are then in the Supervisor
mode and may carry out additional facilities at the panel (see below).
Supervisor Mode
When in this mode a number of extra features are available to the user.
Silence/Resound Alarms:
When in the Supervisor mode this key can be used to either turn the alarms on or to silence
them. It is a toggle action. So, for example, to initiate an evacuation of a site you could
press the Silence/resound alarm button to cause the alarms to sound. You could then silence
the alarm at a later time by pressing the same button again. Note that if the alarms are
silenced but there is still a Fire condition then the internal panel buzzer will buzz every 10
seconds. Also, if the alarms are silenced then this will not prevent subsequent new fire
conditions from automatically resounding the alarms.
