Extinguishing event prevented
When the control panel is in standby, fire alarm, or extinguishing preactivation,
the extinguishing event is automatically prevented (in effect, the extinguishing
event is disabled) for any of the following:
 Disabled extinguishing sounder, extinguishing release optical warning panel
or sign, or releasing actuator
 Fault in hold or abort extinguishing manual call point, extinguishing sounder,
extinguishing release optical warning panel or sign, safety door monitoring
(status or wiring), or releasing actuator.
The extinguishing event is enabled automatically (with a short delay) when the
disabled feature is enabled.
The extinguishing event is enabled automatically when the fault is fixed and the
control panel is reset.
A prevented extinguishing event is indicated by a flashing yellow Preactivation
LED and by the fault/disabled LED of the device that prevented the event.
Extinguishing activation
The extinguishing activation state is also called "in delay to release".
The control panel is in this state when:
• In automatic mode, the extinguishing event conditions are detected (one or
two zones go into fire alarm, depending on the system configuration)
• The start manual call point is pressed
An extinguishing activation state is indicated as follows:
• Preactivation LED: Steady red.
• Zone LEDs: Flashing red (for zones in fire alarm). Note that these will always
flash (indicating detector alarms) for extinguishing detection zones, as these
zones are considered to be automatic (but indications may vary for other
panels in a network).
• General Fire Alarm LEDs: Flashing for detector activation. Steady for MCP
activation.
• MCP Start LED: Steady if the alarm was activated by a start extinguishing
manual call point.
• Extinguishing Sounders On LED: Flashing if the tone is intermittent. Steady if
the tone is continuous. The extinguishing sounders are activated immediately
with the configured tone.
• Released LED: Flashing rapidly during the last 10 seconds before activating
the actuator to release the extinguishing agent. Flashing slowly if the actuator
has been activated and the control panel is waiting for confirmation of the flow
of the extinguishing agent. Consult your system installer to determine whether
your system has this option configured.
