The keys and their functions are as follows:
Key Action
Acknowledge Silences the buzzer and acknowledges new troubles and alarms. If the buzzer is
on, Acknowledge will silence it. If the buzzer is not on, any flashing LEDs will
become steady. The green LED will flash when there is something to acknowledge.
Signal Silences the bells. The green LED will flash when Signal Silence is available. There
Silence may be a silence inhibit before the bells can be silenced if they are activated by an
Alarm condition. The yellow LED flashes when the bells have been silenced. The
bells will reactivate if a subsequent Alarm is received by the panel.
System System Reset resets part or all of the system.
Reset The green LED flashes when the system, or part of the system, can be reset. The
yellow LED flashes when there are conventional smoke detector circuits in alarm.
Press System Reset to reset the smoke detectors. The yellow LED also flashes if
the ground fault relay is activated. Press System Reset to deactivate the ground
fault relay to check for restores and additional ground faults. If ground faults remain,
the relay will be re-activated after 5 to 30 seconds.
Pressing System Reset with no LEDs flashing will operate any relays that are not
used by the system and deactivate any Aux Power outputs. The time they remain
open is determined by the Duration time programmed. If the Duration is 0, the relay
or Aux Power output will not operate.
Second Prevents the automatic operation of second stage operation. This applies only to
Stage Inhibit panels with ALERT or STAGED type bell systems. For ALERT systems, pressing
the Second Stage Inhibit will prevent the panel from going into second stage. For
STAGED systems, it will prevent the system from going to the next stage. Second
Stage Inhibit has no effect on an EVAC type bell system. The green LED will flash
when Second Stage Inhibit is available, and the yellow LED will flash when it has
been activated.
Fire Drill Activates all the bell circuits, both regular and coded, in Alert mode. Press a second
time to have all bell circuits sound in Evacuation mode. Press a third time to end the
Fire Drill. The red LED will flash while the Fire Drill is happening. The Fire Drill can-
not be performed if the bells are already activated, or if AC power is off. The Fire
Drill is automatically ended if an alarm condition occurs.
Releaser Causes the releaser circuits to ignore any new alarms. The buzzer beeps every 2
Disconnect seconds while the releasers are disabled. This beeping is suppressed while a privi-
leged level is entered in the panel. Press again to restore normal operation. The red
LED will flash while active. If no releasers can be disconnected, Releaser Discon-
nect will do nothing. This function can be set to Privilege Level 0 or 1.
Notes:
1. The system cannot be reset until all circuits and devices are
reset.
2. If both LEDs are flashing, the green LED function has
precedence.
3. The green LED will remain flashing after System Reset is
pressed until addressable devices have had their LEDs reset.
