The Buzzer and LED Indicators A.C. ON ALARM SUPV TRBL CPU FAIL Figure 2 LED Indicators Buzzer The buzzer sounds if there is a fire alarm, a supervisory alarm, or a trouble in the fire alarm system. It turns off if the condition causing the buzzer to sound is cleared or if the BUZZER SILENCE button is pressed.
Main Display Buttons SYSTEM RESET The SYSTEM RESET button resets the fire alarm control panel and all SYSTEM circuits. RESET SIGNAL SILENCE Pressing the SIGNAL SILENCE button when the panel is in alarm deactivates any silenceable signal devices in the fire alarm system. Non-silenceable signal devices are unaffected.

Understanding On-screen Messages The screen of the fire alarm control panel displays messages regarding system events. System events display on the screen in a queue. Events in this queue are listed on the screen in order of priority: alarms are of highest priority, followed by supervisory, trouble, and monitor conditions.
Understanding On-screen Messages Example 2 (indicating circuit): Figure 4 indicates that event 2 of 9 is a short trouble at the East Wing Lobby. When INFO pressed, the screen shows that the process type is silenceable on NAC-1 and the event occurred on Tuesday February 2, 2003 at 18:01.

Glossary Alarm Condition Occurs when devices such as detectors, pull stations, or sprinklers are activated. In a single stage system, this condition activates all signalling devices throughout the building. In a two stage system, this condition activates an alert signal and the General Alarm timer. Circuits Refers to an actual electrical interface and is classified as initiating (detection), indicating (signal), or relay.

Glossary Relay Circuit A circuit in a fire alarm system that connects relay devices (for example, fan damper relays). Remote Annunciator A device that visually indicates, either by LCD or LEDs, the floor or zone where the alarm originated. Silenceable Circuit A signal circuit that can be silenced by pressing the SIGNAL SILENCE button.
