Supervisory Yellow LED 

The supervisory signal indicates that a portion of the building's fire protection system  has been disabled 
(such as a fire sprinkler control valve being closed and, consequentially, a sprinkler tamper switch being 
activated), or, less frequently, that a lower priority initiating device has been triggered (such as a duct smoke 
detector). The "Supervisory" indicator requires a "Reset" to clear. 
 
 

2.3  Local Piezoelectric (PZT) Sounder: 

The  piezoelectric  sounder  provides  separate  and  distinct  sounds  for  alarm,  trouble,  and  supervisory 
conditions.  The PZT sounds are as follows: 
 

 

Alarm 

– On for 1.25 seconds, Off for 0.25 seconds, repeat. 

 

Supervisory 

– On for 0.75 seconds, Off for 0.75 seconds, repeat. 

 

Trouble 

– On for 0.4 seconds, Off for 0.4 seconds, repeat.
