Performing a control panel LED indicator and control panel buzzer test
To perform a control panel LED indicator and buzzer test, press and hold the
Test button for more than 3 seconds.
The test is indicated as follows:
• General Fault LED: Flashing.
• System Fault LED: Flashing.
• All other LEDs: On steady.
• Control panel buzzer: Sounding continuous.
The test continues as long as the Test button remains pressed (with an
automatic timeout of 12 seconds). When the test is completed the control panel
returns to its former state.
Note:
Devices connected to the control panel fault relay will also be activated for
the duration of this test.
Displaying local indications only
For control panels connected in an evacuation panel network with repeater
functionality, an indication is activated if any control panel in the network being
repeated has the feature activated. For zone indications which are global in the
evacuation panel network, it is not required to repeat other control panels to
show their zone indications.
Therefore all control panels display the local and remote information. If you need
to show only local status in a control panel:
• Press the Enter button for at least 3 seconds.
• A steady Networking Fault LED indicates network remote indications are
disabled momentarily.
• Only local information is shown for 30 seconds. After this time, the
Networking Fault LED turns off and the control panel shows global (local and
remote) information according to its configuration.
Example 1
If you have an eight-zone evacuation system with two four-zone evacuation
control panels where both panels repeat each other, and you need to identify
which panel has a supply fault you should press Enter for 3 seconds. The control
panel without the supply fault will turn off the supply fault indication.
Example 2
If you have an eight-zone evacuation system with two four-zone evacuation
control panels that are not repeating each other, then one panel has a zone
range of 1 to 4 and the other panel has a zone range of 4 to 7. Sharing zone 4
will allow activating evacuation area 4 and 1 of one control panel with events of
zone 4 in the other panel.
