Kidde Gemini II System

POWER ON Indicator–Lights green when the unit is receiv-

ing AC power and it is within the specified voltage range.

If AC power fails or falls below the required level for

more than 30 seconds, the POWER ON indicator turns

off, the TROUBLE indicator lights and a Trouble mes-

sage is generated.

ALARM Indicator–Lights red when an alarm message is

generated or received. At the Main Control Panel and

for a Remote Hazard Unit programmed for global mode,

the ALARM indicator lights when any alarm is detected

anywhere in the system. For a Remote Hazard Unit in

local mode, the indicator only lights for a local hazard.

In either mode, the ALARM indicator stays on until the

condition clears AND the RESET button is pressed. Si-

lencing the alarms has no effect on this LED indicator.

SUPERVISORY Indicator–Lights yellow to indicate a su-

pervisory (diagnostic) problem.

At the Main Control Panel and for a Remote Hazard

Unit programmed for global mode, the SUPERVISORY

indicator lights when a Supervisory message is gener-

ated anywhere in the system. In either global or local

mode, the SUPERVISORY indicator stays on until the

condition clears AND the RESET button is pressed. Si-

lencing has no effect on this LED indicator.

TROUBLE Indicator–Flashes yellow when a trouble condi-

tion is detected. It is non-latching, so if all relevant

troubles are cleared, the indicator is switched off. For a

Remote Hazard Unit programmed for global mode and

for the Main Control Panel, the TROUBLE indicator

lights for any Trouble in the entire system. For a Re-

mote Hazard Unit programmed for local mode, the

TROUBLE indicator only lights for a trouble originating

at that unit.

SIGNAL SILENCED Indicator–For a Remote Hazard Unit

in local mode, the SIGNAL SILENCED indicator lights

yellow when all troubles and alarms from that hazard

have been acknowledged. The operator silences the

buzzer and acknowledges an alarm with the SIGNAL

SILENCE button. If a new Trouble or Alarm occurs at

the Remote Hazard Unit, the SIGNAL SILENCED indi-

cator goes out and the buzzer sounds.

On the MCP the SIGNAL SILENCED indicator will illu-

minate when any one hazard on the system has been

fully silenced. On the RHU the SIGNAL SILENCED in-

dicator operates in local mode irrespective of the RHU

assignment.

Note: Due to special Canadian annunciation require-

ments, MCPs listed for use in Canada are designed

to be suitable for mounting 1 to 3 LED Display Mod-

ules. Each LED Display Module pertains to one zone

of protection and provides 16 zone-specific LEDs

over and above the five system LEDs on the main

LCD display. See Appendix F for a detailed expla-

nation of the operation and installation of LED Dis-

play Modules. MCPs with LED Display Modules may

also be use in non-Canadian applications.
