Trouble Conditions - Faraday MPC-6000 Installation, Operation And Maintenance Manual

MPC-6000 / MPC-7000 / RND-2 INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
Operation of the ACKNOWLEDGE button within 15 seconds will add a number of seconds (60-
180) to the PAS timer. If the ACKNOWLEDGE button is not operated within 15 seconds, the
system and user outputs activate.
If the initiating device and the panel are reset before the PAS timer times out, the alarm
sequence is aborted.
An alarm condition on a detector programmed for direct alarm response (such as the key
switch on a manual station) will override the PAS timer and activate the outputs.
• PRE-SIGNAL Alarms
A point activated by a PRE-SIGNAL alarm device activates the alarm relay, alarm DACT,
alarm LEDs and buzzers, and all user-programmed outputs normally, except NACs. Only pre-
signal type NACs operate at this time. Pre-signal type NACs are for constantly attended central
locations manned by trained building personnel.
Operation of the SYSTEM RESET button within the pre-programmed time (60-180 seconds)
after initiation of the pre-signal prevents operation of the general alarm.
Failure to act within the pre-programmed time (60-180 seconds) will result in activation of the
general alarm.
Receipt of a general alarm during the delay period immediately sounds the general alarm
building NACs.
Do not reset the system until the alarm condition has been cleared. The LCD will indicate the
area in which the alarm was detected. The detector or module associated with the device
initiating the alarm will display a light indicating activation (if applicable).
When the alarm condition has been corrected, return the system to standby operation by
pressing the SYSTEM RESET button.

Trouble Conditions

In case of a trouble condition, the system trouble LED and any programmed trouble LEDs
activate (ON – pulsing), the LCD identifies the problem and the buzzer sounds (pulsing). Refer
to the applicable section of the system manual to determine the probable cause of the trouble
and the action to be taken.
When a trouble has been noted, the buzzer may be silenced by pressing the ACKNOWLEDGE
button. The trouble LEDs will change to ON - steady. If the trouble has not been corrected
when the trouble resound reminder timer expires, the trouble display reverts to its original
condition and the buzzer resounds (pulsing).
If the control unit is programmed for "trouble acknowledge required", when the indicated
trouble condition has been cleared, the system reverts to standby condition only after the
ACKNOWLEDGE button is pressed.
Some trouble conditions require a system reset to restore the control unit.
