Operation of the Control Panel
CO Prealarm Event
2.7 CO Prealarm Event
The CO Pre-alarm function is used to receive an early warning of potential or incipient CO conditions.
2.7.1 How the Control Panel Indicates a CO Pre-alarm
When a detector activates a CO Pre-alarm, the control panel does the following if there are no higher priority unacknowledged events:
•
Pulses the panel sounder (if the piezo is enabled)
•
Illuminates the
OTHER
LED (yellow)
•
Displays
CO
PREALARM
in the upper left corner of the LCD, the type code and other information specific to the detector as shown in
•
Sends a CO Pre-alarm message to the History buffer, installed printer and annunciators.
•
Activates CBE position 5.
•
Activates Special Function Zone 19 (ZF19)
When an unacknowledged event with a higher priority exists, the control panel retains indications of the higher priority event (the mes-
sage, lit LED, audible tone, etc.) while flashing the
OTHER
LED and sending a CO Prealarm message to the History buffer, installed
printer and annunciators.
The following is a sample screen for a CO Pre-alarm message.
Figure 2.8 Sample CO Prealarm Message
2.7.2 How to Respond to a CO Pre-Alarm Warning
If the control panel indicates a Prealarm, the operator can do the following:
1.
Press the SILENCE BUZZER key to acknowledge the CO Prealarm.
2.
Press the MORE INFO 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 this screen and an
explanation of its fields.)
3.
Investigate and correct the condition causing the CO Prealarm.
2.7.3 Interpreting Type ID Codes
The Type ID code that displays in a CO prealarm message is related to the type and function of the detector point that initiates the CO
prealarm. For example, a detector with a P
HOTO
/CO Type ID code means that the detector is a photo/CO type detector. 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
and an explanation of each.
2.8 Mass Notification Alarm Event
2.8.1 How the Control Panel Indicates a Mass Notification Alarm
When an Mass Notification initiating device (monitor module) activates, the control panel does the following:
•
Produces a steady audible tone (if the piezo is enabled)
•
Does not activate the System Alarm relay(s).
•
Illuminates the
OTHER
LED
•
Displays
MN
ALARM
in the upper left corner of the display, a Type Code that indicates the type of device that activated the alarm,
and other information specific to the device. The message occupies the top four lines of the screen, replacing the System Normal
message as shown in Figure 2.9 below. Refer to “Mass Notification Events” on page 11 for a full description of each message field
•
Sends an MN Alarm message to the History buffer and installed printer and annunciators
•
Latches the control panel in MN alarm. (You cannot return the control panel to normal operation until you correct the alarm
condition and reset the control panel). If a fire condition is present on the control panel, a second system reset may be required to
clear the MN alarm, depending on MN Priority programming. Refer to the
AFP-3030 Programming Manual
.
•
Activates any devices programmed as General Pending
•
Activates special zone ZF20.
