Acknowledging A Fire Alarm - Notifier AM2020 User Manual

Section 4.1 Acknowledging a Fire Alarm
To acknowledge a fire alarm condition at the panel:
When the fire alarm condition clears (either automatically in the case of devices programmed for Tracking , or
by depression of the SYSTEM RESET key), the panel will display CLR AL and the piezo will resound. To
acknowledge the clearing of a fire alarm:
When multiple events have occurred, the system will display the first event that occurred (with the exception
that the first fire alarm will always override any previous trouble). When the ACK STEP key is pushed, the
operator will have acknowledged the highest priority event, not necessarily the event that is being displayed
on the CRT Monitor and DIA. The acknowledged message for the first prioritized event will be displayed for
several seconds, followed by display of the next priority unacknowledged event.
For an AM2020/AFP1010 panel on the NOTI•FIRE•NET system, acknowledgment of any event may be
accomplished from the local fire alarm panel, intelligent network annunciator (INA), or network reporting
terminal (NRT). Acknowledging alarms and events from any of these locations automatically provides
acknowledgment at all locations. Fire alarm signals are acknowledged individually at the local fire alarm
panel, NRT, or INA. If the same event on the same point occurs on multiple nodes, the event on the node with
the lowest node address has the highest priority. For more information on priorities and acknowledging events
on the NOTI•FIRE•NET system, refer to the INA Manual, Document 15092, or the NRT Manual, Document
15090.
