General alarm information
A listing of alarm messages is provided at the end of
this section.
All alarms have audible tones and visual messages.
In the event of a total power failure or a main
alarm speaker failure, a secondary audible alarm
circuit activates, providing a continuous buzzing
tone that can not be silenced (see page 5-6,
"Continuous Audible Tone").
Status information will not be displayed
