condition(s) that exist.
The trouble icon displays a number in the

Nighttime Trouble Alert Holdoff
As an option, the system can be programmed by your installer to suppress the trouble alert sounder
from 10 PM to 9 AM. Any trouble alerts will still be displayed, but the sounder will not beep. Some
trouble conditions may clear automatically, other trouble conditions may require service to correct. If
the trouble condition still exists after 9 AM, the sounder will beep to indicate trouble. Regardless of
whether the trouble alert sounder is suppressed or not, every trouble condition is always displayed
on the trouble alert list and recorded in the system history event log.
