absolutely certain that the alarms are correctly con-

3.2 Controls and Indicators

(Figure 5)
Alarm Silence - Press this button to silence the alarm.
The alarm remains silenced unless a new alarm condition
occurs. If multiple abnormal conditions exist, the alarm
will continue to sound until all have been corrected.
Test - Press this button to test the electronics of the
panel. When this button is pressed, the NORMAL and all
the ABNORMAL lights should glow. The alarm tone
should sound.
Normal - This green light glows when all of the gas pres-
sures and vacuum levels are within preset limits. It turns
off when an abnormal pressure, vacuum level or system
failure is detected.
Abnormal - When this indicator glows next to a pressure
gauge, it means that the gas pressure or vacuum is out-
side the preset limits. An alarm tone also sounds when-
ever one of these lights comes on. Once the abnormal
condition is rectified, the alarm automatically resets,
unless other alarm conditions exist.
