VIEWING CURRENT ALARM AND
TROUBLE MESSAGES
At the Main Control Panel and all Remote Hazard Units
configured for global mode, all alarm and trouble messages
are displayed. A Remote Hazard Unit in local mode only
displays alarms and troubles for its own hazard. A Remote
Display Unit mimics the system status information displayed
on the Main Control Panel or Remote Hazard Unit to which
it is assigned. Unassigned Remote Display Units display
all alarm and trouble events (defaults to global mode).
The first alarm message will remain on the display until the
system is reset. Troubles will remain until the condition
clears or a new event occurs. If a new event occurs, this
message is displayed for 2 to 3 seconds, and the display
reverts to the first message. When more than one mes-
sage is current, the ALARM SCROLL or SUP/TBL
SCROLL buttons can be used to cycle through them.
