Section 4: Read Status Operation

4.1 Introduction

This section contains instructions and sample screens to show how to access all Read Status
functions and menus. For information on Read Status using a CRT-2 refer to "Remote Terminal
Access" on page 60.

4.2 What is Read Status?

Read Status is a control panel function that lets you view system program information—but not
change any programmed settings. The Read Status function lets you do the following:
• View Read Status information without entering a password.
• Enter and operate Read Status functions while the control panel provides full fire protection.
• View Read Status information while a fire alarm or trouble condition exists.
NOTE: If a fire alarm or trouble occurs while you are in Read Status, the control panel
automatically exits Read Status operation and displays the new fire alarm or trouble.
