MENU KEY

The Main Menu provides operations which are separate from those used for fire alarm conditions. These non-critical
functions are selected with the <MENU> key. The <NEXT> and <PREVIOUS> keys are used to scroll through the
menu options. The <ENTER> key selects the displayed option. The <MENU> key calls up the Main Menu Option
List and displays the first option on the list. The following are the default Main Menu options for Access Levels 1 and
2.
• Change Access Level?
• Set Time and Date?
• Display Historical Alarm Log?
• Display Historical Trouble Log?
• Select a List of Points?
• Display Software Revision Level?
• Display Card Status?
• Print Report?
• Printer Options?
• Exit Menu List?
Access Levels 3 and 4 have these additional default Main Menu options:
• Enable Walk Test? (Levels 3 and 4)
• Run Diagnostic Functions? (Level 4)
• Display System CPU and Idle Time? (Level 4)

PREVIOUS KEY

The <PREVIOUS> key is used in Main Menu options and with point list displays to scroll to the previous option, item,
or point. This key works like the <ACK> keys for Alarm, Supervisory, and Trouble conditions. Pressing this key
causes the display to continuously scroll backward. If the first item in the list or menu has been shown, pressing the
<PREVIOUS> key causes the list to wrap around backwards to the end of the list.

NEXT KEY

The <NEXT> key is used with Main Menu options and with point list displays to scroll to the next option, site, or point.
This key also works like the <ACK> keys for Alarm, Supervisory, and Trouble conditions. Pressing this key causes
the display to continuously scroll forward. Whenever the last item in a list or menu has been shown, pressing the
<NEXT> key again causes the list to wrap around to the beginning of the list.

LAMP TEST KEY

Pressing the <LAMP TEST> key turns on the following LEDs:
• FIRE ALARM LED
• PRIORITY 2 ALARM LED
• SYSTEM SUPERVISORY LED
• SYSTEM TROUBLE LED
• ALARM SILENCED LED
• Five CONTROL Key LEDs.
In addition, all segments on the alphanumeric display are turned on as a test pattern. After a three-second sustained
press, the tone-alert is turned on. When the <LAMP TEST> key is released, all LEDs, the alphanumeric display, and
the tone-alert are restored to their previous states. If a local annunciator exists, the LED associated with it is also
turned on.
