In the New Zealand convention, fire alarms are shown in the LCD as normal fire alarms
with “ ALM ”, acknowledged alarms shown with “ ACK ” and isolated alarms shown with

Note: The detectors having activated fire alarms after reset, must be inspected, tested

(this is in accordance with the fire brigade standard AS4428.3:2010).
The push button has to be pressed for minimum 0.5 sec.
When all fire alarms are reset , LEDs "FIRE" (L1) and "Alarm Queued" (L2) are turned
