9.2 COM MO N CONT ROLS:
System Reset Button (White) :
The System Reset button causes the Fire Alarm Control Panel, and all Circuits, to be reset ...
Resets all Latching Trouble Conditions
Resets all Initiating Circuits
Resets both 4-Wire Smoke Supplies
Turns off all Indicating Circuits
Turns off Signal Silence, Ack & GA Indicators
Turns off Fire Drill
Stops and resets all Timers
Processes inputs as new events
Aux Disconnect not affected
Signal Silence Button (Blue) :
Activation of the Signal Silence button when the Panel is in Alarm turns on the Signal Silence Indicator and deactivates any Silenceable
Indicating Circuits. Non-Silenceable Circuits are unaffected. Signals will re-sound upon any subsequent Alarm. This button does not function
during any configured Signal Silence Inhibit Timer period. It also does not function if the Indicating Circuits are active as the result of a Fire Drill.
In a Two Stage System, if the Auto General Alarm Timer has timed out, this button also performs the same function as the Acknowledge button.
Fire Drill Button (Orange) :
The Fire Drill button activates all non-Disconnected Indicating Circuits, but does not transmit any Alarms via the City Tie, or Common Alarm
Relay. Fire Drill is cancelled by pressing the button again, or if the Panel goes into a real Alarm.
Acknowledge Button (Yellow) :
If the Panel is not configured for Two Stage Operation, this button does nothing. If the Panel is configured for Two Stage Operation, activation
of the Acknowledge button while the Auto General Alarm Timer is timing (there is an Alarm in the Panel, but it is still in the First Stage), that
timer is cancelled, and the Acknowledge Indicator is on steady amber.
General Alarm Button (Red) :
If the Panel is not configured for Two Stage Operation, this button does nothing. If the Panel is configured for Two Stage Operation, activation
of the General Alarm button immediately sends the Panel into Second Stage - General Alarm. It will also re-activate the Signals if they have
been Silenced during General Alarm. The General Alarm condition remains active until the Panel is reset.
Auxiliary Disconnect Button (Orange) :
Activating the Auxiliary Disconnect button activates the Auxiliary Disconnect function. Pressing the button again de-activates the function.
Lamp Test Button (Orange) :
Activation of the Lamp Test button turns all front panel Indicators on steady in whichever color they would normally be activated and turns the
buzzer on steady. If Lamp Test is active for more than 10 seconds, Common Trouble is activated.
Buzzer Silence Button (Blue) :
Activation of the Buzzer Silence button while the Buzzer is sounding silences the Buzzer. The Buzzer will resound if there is a subsequent
event. Pressing the button when the Buzzer is not sounding has no affect.
9.3 CIRCUIT STATUS INDICATORS:
There is one pair of Circuit Status LED’s for each Initiating, Indicating, and Relay Circuit. For the first four Indicating
Circuits on the Main Fire Alarm Module, these are part of the Co mm on In dicators . For all oth er C ircu its (including
the first eig ht Initia ting C ircu its on the Main Fire Alarm Module) these are arranged in colum ns of eight indicators
num bere d from 1 to 8 - to p to bottom . For ea ch C ircuit, the up per C ircuit Status LED may be Red or Amber, and
will be steady, or flashing at either the Fast Flash or Trouble Flash Rates depending on the operation. The Circu it
Trou ble LED is only Amber and in general flashes at the Trouble Rate when active. The Status LED is used on
Initiating Circuits only.
After the first e ight Initiating Circu its (correspondin g to the first column of Circuit LED ’s) the Circuit LED’s are
configured in the same order as any Adder Modules. If there are insufficient Display Adders for the number of
Circuits on the Pan el, the last Circuits will not be displayed. If there are too many Displays for the number of
Circuits on the Panel, the unassigned ones will be unused.
Alarm Circuit Indicators:
This operation applies to Initiating Circuits configured as Verified Alarm, Non-Verified Alarm, Water-flow Alarm, Sprinkler Alarm, or General
Alarm Circuits. The Circuit Trouble Indicator flashes at the Trouble Rate to indicate circuit trouble (open circuit or Style D / Class A trouble) or
if the Circuit is Disconnected. It is always turned off when the Circuit is in Alarm. The Circuit Status Indicator is activated steady red when the
Circuit is in Alarm. On Verified Alarm Circuits, Sprinkler Alarm, and Water-flow Alarm Circuits, the Circuit Status Indicator will illuminate at the
Fast Flash rate during the
"Pre-Alarm"
Condition. This Indicator will also come on Fast Flash while an active circuit is being un-disconnected.
Supervisory Circuit Indicators:
This operation applies to Initiating Circuits configured as Latching or Non-Latching Supervisory Circuits. The Circuit Trouble Indicator flashes
at the Trouble Rate to indicate circuit trouble (open circuit or Style D / Class A trouble) or if the Circuit is Disconnected. It is always turned off
when the Circuit is in Alarm. The Circuit Status Indicator is turned on steady amber when the corresponding Circuit is in Alarm. This Indicator
will also come on Fast Flash while an active circuit is being reconnected.
