Subsequent First Stage alarms when the panel is already in alarm, cause the following:
•
The buzzer sounds steady.
•
Resounds silenced signals, turns off the Signal Silence LED, and restarts the Auto
Signal Silence timer (if configured).
•
If the panel is not already in General Alarm, activates additional non-disconnected
signals programmed to the new input with the Alert Code (see 5.3 Output Types on
page 31).
•
If the panel is not already in General Alarm and the Acknowledge LED is ON steady
indicating that the Auto General Alarm timer has been acknowledged, restarts the timer
and extinguishes the Acknowledge LED.
A second stage alarm (general alarm) when the panel is already in alarm causes the following:
•
The buzzer sounds steady.
•
Activates all non-disconnected signals at the evacuation rate.
•
If the Signal Silence LED is ON, it turns OFF and restarts the Auto Signal Silence timer
(if configured).
•
If the Acknowledge LED is ON, turns the LED OFF.
•
The General Alarm LED illuminates steady.
Alarm inputs are latching, they remain active until system reset.
