Operating the LCD2-80
Buttons
Event priorities, in order of highest to lowest, are as follows: alarm, supervisory, security, non-fire with piezo, non-fire without piezo,
trouble. A higher priority event that becomes active while a lower priority event is already active will cause the 20-character event mes-
sage to change from displaying the lower-priority event to displaying the higher-priority event.
Display Illumination
If “SYS” is selected in programming as the Starting ACS Circuit Type:
When AC power is applied, the display backlight will turn on. When the panel sends an AC FAIL message, the backlight will turn
on as follows:
• Alarm events - the backlight will turn on and stay on.
• Pressing “Step Display” will turn on the backlight for 60 seconds.
Note that an AC Fail message is sent from the panel only when a “Starting ACS Circuit Type” of “SYS” is entered in initial
programming.
If “ACS” is selected in programming as the Starting ACS Circuit Type:
When AC power is applied, the display backlight will turn on. Trouble events from the panel will turn off the backlight. Other
events will turn on the backlight, and it will stay on until the events are cleared. Pressing “Step/Display” will turn on the backlight
for 60 seconds.
4.1.3 Communications Failure Reporting
If the LCD2-80 fails to receive communications from the panel for a period of over one minute, it will activate its local sounder and dis-
play the following message: COMMUNICATIONS FAIL
4.2 Buttons
The LCD2-80 emulates from one to 32 annunciators.
When the Acknowledge button is pressed on the front panel, the LCD2-80 sends an
acknowledge command to the control panel, and silences the local sounder. In Terminal
Mode, additional key punches will step through what the host panel shows for next
events.
Silence
When the Silence button is pressed on the front panel, the LCD2-80 sends a signal silence
command to the control panel.
System Reset
When the System Reset button is pressed on the front panel, the LCD2-80 sends a reset command to the control panel.
Drill
When the Drill button on the front panel is pressed and held for 2 seconds, the LCD2-80 sends a drill command to the control panel.
Display Step/Lamp Test
If the LCD display backlight has been turned off due to a trouble condition in the system, momentarily pressing this switch will illumi-
nate the display for 60 seconds. If this switch is pressed and held in excess of 3 seconds, the LCD2-80 will go into Lamp Test mode.
During Lamp Test, all LEDs will light, all segments of the display will turn on and the piezo will sound for the duration the switch is
pressed. Upon release of the switch, the LCD2-80 software version number will briefly be displayed and then the LCD2-80 will return to
normal operation.
When the LCD2-80 is set for ACS mode, this button may be used to step the display through multiple events. Events types are displayed
in the following order; alarms, supervisories, security alarms, non-fire events, troubles, and outputs. This is a local function and does not
send an acknowledge command to the control panel. If a trouble condition has turned off the backlighting, it also causes the backlit dis-
play to illuminate for about one minute, and while held, turns on all LCD segments (lamp test).
NOTE:
For Canadian Applications:
Panel control functions (Acknowledge, Signal Silence, Reset, and Drill) do not
function if Regional Settings on the fire panel is set for Canada.
Local Acknowledge on the LCD2-80 will still function.
NOTE:
The Acknowledge, Silence and Reset and Drill buttons will serve no function if the LCD2-80 has been set for Receive-Only
operation (DIP switch SW1-1 has been set ON)
