RESET
Alarm and supervisory events are latching. They do not
clear automatically, but require manual operation of a RE-
SET button. This can be done at the Display Panel of the
MCP or at the Display Panel of the RHU that is required to
be reset. The use of each of these messages is described
below.
The RESET button on the Display Panel of the MCP may
be used to reset the MCP or any RHU. Press the button
once, then use the up and down arrow keys to select the
unit you want to reset. Press and hold down the RESET
button for at least one second. The unit is reset when the
MCP displays a confirmation message. Resetting in this
manner removes power from the detecting circuits for at
least one second, allowing all the detectors to reset.
If the MCP is reset, the following events occur:
1. The MCP clears the "System Active Event List" of all
alarm, supervisory and trouble events.
2. The MCP records the reset in its "System Event Log."
3. The MCP generates any alarm supervisory or trouble
events that exists at its hazard. These will be added to
the "System Active Event List" and recorded in the "Sys-
tem Event Log."
4. The MCP re-initializes communications with the RHUs
and RDUs. This is done in the following way. All pos-
sible RHU and RDU addresses are polled. The follow-
ing situations may occur:
a. Any devices which were communicating before the
MCP was reset will reply and communications with
those units will resume as normal.
b. Any device which has been newly attached to the
RS-485 network will reply for the first time. The MCP
will establish normal communications with this de-
vice but generate a trouble "Communicating with
Unregistered Device" message.
c. A device may have been previously de-registered
at the MCP to remove a trouble condition. If the
device is reconnected to the RS-485 network and
the MCP reset, the MCP will detect that it is com-
