Common "Disabled" indicator
This indicator illuminates when any part of the system (for example, a zone, a fire sensor, a
sounder, or a connection to the fire brigade) is deliberately disabled. This might be done for a
number of reasons, for example, to allow part of a building to be renovated, for maintenance, or
to allow people to smoke in a meeting room. Other indicators identify the location of the disabled
devices; these will be described later in this manual. This indicator is normally off.
Common "Other" indicator
This indicator illuminates to identify the presence of any alarm that does not fall into one of the
above groups. For example, this could be an alarm that a fire door is unlocked, or that air-
conditioning is shutdown, or a pre-alarm, etc. Other indicators identify the nature of the alarm,
and are described later in this manual. This indicator is normally off.

Zonal fire indicators

See Figure 5. In addition to the common alarm indicators, by default alarms are indicated by means
of zonal fire indicators, and by means of text messages on the LCD Display, which also shows other
information. Alternatively the LED can be programmed as required (see I/O Mapping in the
Installation, Commissioning and Maintenance Manual, document number 503-1160ZE-I).
Zonal fire indicators are red, and are located on the left of the fascia. When an alarm is received
from a sensor, the ZONE indicator illuminates to identify which zone has initiated the alarm. This
immediately identifies where the fire is. The zone indicator flashes for a new alarm, and becomes
steady after an alarm has been accepted. It is possible to view at a glance, the number of zones,
which are in an alarm condition, and to identify which are new alarms, and which have been
previously accepted. Zone indicators are normally off.

LCD display

The LCD Display automatically indicates an alarm with a text message, which identifies the zone
in which the alarm occurred. The LCD Display can show two alarms simultaneously. When more
than two alarms are present at the same time, they can be scrolled using the up/down scroll
keys. An indicator illuminates to indicate that more alarms exist than are visible on the screen.
The LCD Display can also be used for other functions, which are described later in this manual.
