Silencing the alarm sounders

To silence any active alarm sounders, enter access level 2 (see above) and press the Silence/Resound
Sounders button. The alarm sounders will cease to sound and the panel's general Fire and relevant
Fire Zone indicators will go steady.
Should a fire condition occur on another zone whilst the alarm sounders are silenced, the panel:
• Will activate the sounders programmed by an engineer for activation by the new zone(s) in alarm
• Will flash the general Fire and appropriate Zone indicator(s) for any new zone(s) in alarm
• May, if programmed by an engineer, automatically reactivate the silenced alarm sounders and
flash any related Fire Zone indicator(s).

Resounding the alarm sounders

Pressing the Silence/Resound Sounders button when the alarm sounders are silenced will resound them.
Pressing the Silence/Resound Sounders button again will silence the alarm sounders.

Resetting the panel

After the cause of an alarm has been cleared and the alarm sounders have been silenced (see above),
the panel can be reset by pressing the Control Panel Reset button.
The panel will give a double beep to indicate the reset process has started and, after a few seconds,
the Fire Zone indicators and general Fire indicator will go out to indicate the process is complete. If
there are still any fire conditions on any zones, the panel will go back into alarm as before.
Note: The panel's Investigate button is only active if an engineer has programmed one,
or more, zones to operate with a 1st-stage investigation delay period (see page 10 for
detailed information on this feature).
