4-4.1 User Interface Button Operations
Some of the above operations can also be performed for the LAM, ATM, and SLC based Addressable
Input devices.
The LAM can perfom the following operations:
The ATM can perform the following operations:
BUTTON FUNCTION
<SYSTEM ACKNOWLEDGE> The <SYSTEM ACKNOWLEDGE> Key allows the operator to signal the ARIES
NET
Link system that a new event currently being displayed is understood. The
control unit's audible notification appliance will silence and all flashing Pre-Alarm,
Alarm, Supervisory, or Trouble LEDs will light steadily when all active events have
been acknowledged.
<SIGNAL SILENCE> Pressing the <SIGNAL SILENCE> Key after all current alarm events have been
acknowledged shuts off any active, silenceable control-unit-based or signaling-
linecircuit-based outputs, such as notification-appliance circuits or control
modules. There is a 10-second buffer period during which subsequent presses of
the <SIGNAL SILENCE> Key are intentionally ignored. A subsequent key press
will only be acted upon after at least 10 seconds have elapsed since the previous
key press. Note: The <SIGNAL SILENCE> Inhibit feature, which disables use of
the <SIGNAL SILENCE> Key, can be programmed for 1, 3 and 5 minutes.

reporting alarm conditions.

acknowledged shuts off any active, silenceable control-unit-based or signaling-
linecircuit-based outputs, such as notification-appliance circuits or control
modules. There is a 10-second buffer period during which subsequent presses of

<DRILL> Pressing the <DRILL> switch input one time activates a Fire Drill.
Each NAC and/or control module which has been configured for drill operation will
be activated. Pressing the <SYSTEM RESET> or <SIGNAL SILENCE>Key will
end the Fire Drill and return the system to Normal Operation.
