SUPPRESSION SYSTEM (AFSS)

PROTECTION PANEL

The protection panel displays the current system
status. The protection panel contains "SYSTEM
OK", fire "ALARM" and "TROUBLE" lamps, the
audio alarm, the "TEST/RESET" switch, and the
"ALARM SILENCE" switch.
The "SYSTEM OK" lamp indicates power is on
the system and that there are no trouble
conditions present. The "TROUBLE" lamp blinks
if there is a fault in the detection circuitry and
illuminates solid if there is a fault in the
extinguishing circuitry. When the "TROUBLE"
lamp is on, the "SYSTEM OK" lamp will be off
and the audible alarm will sound intermittently.
The "SYSTEM OK" lamp will flash when the
system is low on battery power. Depressing the
"TEST/RESET" switch tests the protection panel
lamps and audio alarm. The "ALARM SILENCE"
switch will disable the audio alarm.
When a fire detector automatically detects a fire,
the fire "ALARM" lamp and audio alarm activate.
When the Manual Activation Switch is activated,
the fire "ALARM" lamp blinks and the audio
alarm activates. The lamp will remain blinking
until power is cycled to the system.
