Operation of the Control Panel
System or Point Fault Event
•
Displays the
FIRE
ALARM
Events List with the first fire alarm in the top section of the display containing a Type Code that indicates
the type of device that activated the fire alarm, and other information specific to the device. The message occupies the second and
third lines of the screen, replacing the System Normal message as shown in Figure 2.2 below. Refer to “Point Events Format” on
page 10 for a full description of each message field
•
Sends an Alarm message to the History buffer and installed printer and annunciators
•
Latches the control panel in alarm. (You cannot return the control panel to normal operation until you correct the alarm condition
and reset the control panel)
•
Initiates any Control-By-Event actions
•
Starts timers (such as Silence Inhibit, Auto Silence)
•
Activates the general alarm zone (Z000)

2.2.2 How to Respond to a Fire Alarm
If the control panel indicates a fire alarm, the operator can do the following:
•
To silence the panel sounder:
Press the SILENCE BUZZER key. The local sounder will silence. The control panel will send an acknowledge message to the panel
display, history buffer, installed printers and annunciators.
•
To silence any activated outputs that are programmed as silenceable:
Press the SIGNAL RESOUND ALARM key.
ALARM DEVICES
SILENCED
LED light steady. The control panel sends a Signal
Silenced message to the History buffer, installed printers and annunciators.
1.
Check the Alarm message for its location and type. Press the MORE INFORMATION soft key to display the MORE
INFORMATION screen and view additional information on the device and possibly preprogrammed text for recommended action.
(Refer to Figure 1.9 on page 14 for an example of the this screen and an explanation of its fields.)
2.
Correct the condition causing the alarm.
3.
When the alarm condition is corrected, press the RESET key to return the control panel to normal operation (indicated by the
“System Normal” message). The control panel sends a “System Normal” message to the panel display, History buffer and installed
printer.
If both fire and mass notification events are present on the fire panel at the same time, a second System Reset will need to be
performed to reset the fire panel. The panel will display
MN
SYSTEM
RESET
or
FIRE
SYSTEM
RESET
, depending on which event has
priority. Refer to the
AFP-3030 Programming Manual
for event priority programming information.
2.2.3 Interpreting Type ID Codes
The Type ID code that displays in the fire alarm message is related to the type and function of the point that initiates the fire alarm. For
example, a monitor module with a
PULL
STATION
Type ID code means that the monitor module connects to a manual pull station. If the
Type ID code is unfamiliar, refer to Appendix A, “Software Type ID Codes”, on page 53. This appendix is an alphabetical list of Type ID
codes with an explanation of each.
2.3 System or Point Fault Event
2.3.1 How the Control Panel Indicates a System or Point Fault
A system or point fault occurs when the control panel detects an electrical or mechanical fault. The panel will react differently depending
on whether or not there are higher priority unacknowledged events.
When no higher priority unacknowledged events are exist, the control panel:
•
Produces a pulsed audible tone (if the piezo is enabled)
•
Activates the Fault relay
•
Illuminates the
SYSTEM
FAULT
or
FAULT
LED
•
Displays a Type Code that indicates the type of device with a fault (if a point fault)
NOTE:
If a monitor module programmed with a waterflow Type Code initiates a fire alarm, the control panel disables the
SIGNAL RESOUND ALARM key and the Auto Silence Timer.
