Vigilant VS1 and VS2 Technical Reference Manual
Disabling a device
Devices can be disabled using the front panel. A disabled device is
still functioning, but does not report an off-normal condition to the
panel while it is disabled. When a device is disabled:
• The common Disable LED turns on
• A message indicating the device that is disabled is displayed on
the LCD display
• The common Trouble LED flashes and the panel goes into a
trouble state
• The common trouble relay changes state
• The disabled points and active points counters on the LCD
display increment
Resetting the panel has no effect on a disabled device, but removing
all power from the panel clears the disable and enables the device.
Note:
If the device you are disabling is active, a warning message is
displayed.
