Audible Indicators; Control Panel Status Indications - Aritech 1X-X3E Series Operation Manual

Audible indicators

The control panel buzzer acts as an audible indicator to highlight system events.
It can sound a constant tone or an intermittent tone.
A constant tone can indicate a fire alarm, an extinguishing preactivation or
activation, an extinguishing released state, or a system fault.
An intermittent tone indicates that:
• The control panel is in a fault condition.
• The control panel is in the last 10 seconds of a delay countdown before
activating the extinguishing actuator (extinguishing release is imminent).
• The extinguishing actuator is disabled (for control panels in BS 7273 mode).

Control panel status indications

This section includes a summary of the default control panel status indications.
Standby
Standby, or normal status, is indicated as follows:
• A steady Supply LED
• A steady Fire Sounders Delay LED (if a delay is enabled)
• A steady Fire Routing Delay LED (Figure 1, item 30) (if a delay is enabled)

Fire alarm (fire-only)
The fire alarm state applies to zones that are not linked to the extinguishing area,
and act as fire-only zones.
A fire alarm in a detection zone that is not linked to the extinguishing area is
indicated as follows:

Steady if the alarm was activated by a manual call point.
• Zone LED: Flashing if the alarm was activated by a detector. Steady if the
alarm was activated by a manual call point. Shows which zones are in alarm.

• Fire Sounders Start/Stop LED: Steady if fire sounders are active (or will be
activated shortly). Flashing when a delay countdown is in progress. Fire
sounders are activated when the configured delay elapses or when the delay
is cancelled. Off when the fire sounders are off (or will be deactivated shortly).
