Global Acknowledge. The panel acknowledges all faults that are currently active,
displays the message "Global Acknowledge" for approximately two seconds, turns
off the sounder, and changes the FAULT or ISOLATE indicator from a flashing state
to ON steady.
•
Individual Acknowledge. The panel acknowledges only the fault that is currently
displayed on the alphanumeric display. If additional faults remain, the sounder does
not turn off and the FAULT or ISOLATE indicator continues to flash. Use the
NEXT and PREV keys to display information on the other faults and then use the
<FAULT ACK> or <ISOLATE ACK> key to acknowledge them.
