The building is a new 16 floor residential high rise. The building is an infill and shares common zones in a shared garage. It is a single stage system
On the panel, Each above grade floor has a page button. It also has individual zone buttons laved evacuation. I was told by the tech that buttons only work when the alarm is not activated. Depressing a zone evacuation will cause the alarm to sound only on that floor. is that correct? How is this reset. Where in the manual can i find the operation of this feature. thanks

Common Controls 8.2.1 LCD Display: The display is a large 4 line by 20 character back-lit alphanumeric LCD. It displays information on the panel and its devices. There are cursor buttons for menu selection and control. Information provided by the LCD display is an alarm log, an event log, current levels, device information, verification and maintenance reports.
Page 75
8.2.3 Cursor Buttons These four buttons around the Enter Button are used for up (previous), down (latest), left, and right selection of items on the LCD Display. Enter Button This button is used to select a displayed item on the LCD Display. Cancel Button This button is used to cancel an operation.
Page 76
to operate specific NACs. Fire Drill is cancelled by pressing the button again (toggle switch), or if the Panel goes into a real Alarm. 8.2.7 General Alarm Cancel Button (Two Stage Only) If the Panel is not configured for Two Stage Operation, this button does nothing. If the Panel is configured for Two Stage Operation, activation of the General Alarm Cancel button while the Auto General Alarm Timer is timing (there is an Alarm in the Panel, but it is still in the First Stage), that timer is cancelled, and the General Alarm Cancel Indicator is on steady amber.
Page 77
Two Stage Operation In a two stage system, alarm inputs are either first stage (alert) inputs or second stage (general alarm) inputs. First stage inputs include inputs from the following types of circuits: non-verified alarm, verified alarm, sprinkler alarm, and water-flow alarm. Second stage inputs include alarms on the general alarm circuits, activation of the General Alarm button, or expiration of the Auto General Alarm timer.

13.0 Mechanical Installation for the QBB-5001(R) Expansion Audio Cabinet Expansion audio cabinets are mounted as shown in Figure 51 below. The QBB-5001(R) is the backbox and door. The QBB-5001(R) backbox may be flush or surface mounted. The QBB- 5001TR is the metal flush trim. Install all cabinets and enclosures empty. Pull all required wiring in through the conduit holes provided (must be punched out).
14.0 BBX-FXMNS Audio Module Placement and Internal Wiring The modules that mount into the audio card cage are the amplifier modules. Up to four amplifiers may be installed in each BBX-FXMNS enclosure with one of the four as a backup. Slot #1 is used for the ANC-4000 and/or TNC-5000 modules.
15.0 Integrated Fire Alarm Connection The FX-4000MNS Chassis consists of the Network Fire Alarm main board and chassis. 15.1 Battery Power The power cable is used to provide power from the batteries to the FX-4000MNS Fire Alarm main board and the audio card cage motherboard. Power from the batteries is first directed to the Battery Disconnect Board, from this board the power is connected to the main fire alarm board and the audio card cage.
16.0 QBB-5001(R) Expansion Audio Cabinet Module Placement The modules that mount into the QBB-5001(R) expansion audio cabinet include the QPS- 5000N Power Supply, the QMB-5000B Motherboard, and the QBC-5000N Battery Charger. Module interconnects are shown in Figure 53. There is no module installed into Slot #1 of the QMB-5000B Motherboard, as shown below.

the QMB-5000N (inside the BBX-FXMNS or Integrated Fire/Audio Cabinet) to the IN connector at the top left corner of the QMB-5000B Motherboard. Connect cable MD-525 from the QMB-5000B Motherboard (connection marked OUT in the top left corner) to the next expansion audio cabinet QMB-5000B Motherboard (connection marked IN) if another audio cabinet is used.
17.0 Installing and Removing Amplifiers ATTENTION: Improper installation or excessive force will damage the motherboard and modules being installed or removed. 17.1 Installing QAA Amplifier Modules 1. Hold the amplifier to be installed by the backplate edges. Do not handle, push or pull any of the components on the amplifier (especially not the transformer) as this will damage those components.
When multiple QBB-5001/R audio cabinets are used in an installation, each has its own QPS- 5000N Power Supply, QBC-5000N Battery Charger, and batteries. A total of three audio cabinets may be used by simply interconnecting with Mircom MD-525 Extension Cables from the QMB-5000N "Out" Connector, to the "In" Connector on the next QMB-5000B motherboard.
19.0 Audio Network Card and Telephone Network Card Each Integrated Fire/Audio Cabinet requires an ANC-4000 Audio Network Controller Card. The TNC-5000 Telephone Controller Network card is necessary only if Telephone circuits are required. Below is a diagram for mounting both audio and telephone cards into the large network fire alarm chassis, FX-4009-12N.

The building is a new 16 floor residential high rise. The building is an infill and shares common zones in a shared garage. It is a single stage system On the panel, Each above grade floor has a page button. It also has individual zone buttons laved evacuation. I was told by the tech that buttons only work when the alarm is not activated. Depressing a zone evacuation will cause the alarm to sound only on that floor. is that correct? How is this reset. Where in the manual can i find the operation of this feature. thanks
