Warning 

After 2 years of service, the MarkIII battery may become less efficient and could lose the time after a shutdown. 
 
Alarm Bell 
The alarm bell is activated under default faulty conditions stated by the NFPA20 standard. 

 
Any of these conditions will energize the alarm bell but may be silenced, except in some cases, by pressing on the the 
“Silence bell” button on the Alarms page. When silenced, the alarm bell restarts ringing if a new fault occurs or if the 

alarm conditions remain unchanged after 24 hours. The alarm bell automatically stops ringing if alarm conditions are not 

present anymore. 
 
Note: Other optional or user defined conditions can also activate the bell and can be configured by the user. See section 5 

and verify drawings affixed inside the cabinet for more details. 
 
First Setup 
The First Setup must be done prior to using the controller. Completing the First Setup is the only way to access the 

homepage and enable the automatic mode of the controller.
