3.9.10 View - Warnings
This Option can be used to obtain information about warning conditions on the panel.
A warning condition is created whenever a detector device reaches its limit drift of compensation. This does not
affect the performance or operation of the panel in detecting and responding to fire alarm conditions from the
device. It will mean the device is more sensitive and could react to lower levels smoke stimuli resulting in false
alarms. This function is normally used by the service engineer to view which devices need to be cleaned and no
indication is given of this condition on the normal displays. A fault condition will occur when the device becomes
dirty.
3.9.11 View - Supervisory
This Option can be used to obtain information about supervisory conditions on the panel.
The operation of the panel and the information that can be shown is identical to the views available from the
main operating display. Refer to Section
3.6 for further information.
If there are no Zones or Inputs in a Supervisory condition, the display automatically reverts to the Main View
Menu.
