The text in the top left corner provides information about the database. The top line gives the date
and time the database was last edited. The next line states whether the current contents have

The options Bell System, Subsequent Alarm, Resound, Evac and Waterflow all affect how the
notification appliance circuits (NAC), hereafter referred to as bells, react to alarm conditions.
Bell System
Bell System is a drop down list for selecting how the bells and strobes will operate. This sets the
base operation for the entire network. If coded bells are required, the bell codes are defined for
each input individually. The following options are available:
• Alert: A First Stage alarm activates the selected bells in Alert mode. If the Signal Silence
or Second Stage Inhibit Hot Key is not pressed before the NAC timeout, the panel will
progress to Second Stage. Second stage will activate all bells in Evacuation mode.
• Evac: A First Stage alarm will activate selected bells in Evacuation mode. Second Stage
will activate all bells in Evacuation mode. There is no timeout from First to Second Stage.
• Alert/Evac: A First Stage alarm activates the selected bells in Evacuation mode and all
other bells on the panel in Alert mode. If the Signal Silence or Second Stage Inhibit Hot
Key is not pressed before the NAK timeout, the system will progress to Second Stage.
Second Stage will activate all bells in Evacuation mode.
• Staged: The 1st alarm will activate selected bells in Alert mode. If the Signal Silence or
Second Stage Inhibit Hot Key is not pressed before the NAK timeout, the selected bells
