PVC Control Panel

 Refer to Master Panel Controls and Display diagram (Page 6).

 The Control Panel status indicators are 'Alarm', 'Fault' and 'Power'. 

During    'Power  On  Diagnostics',  the  system  is  scanned  for  active  Distributed  Panels  and 
peripherals. The Message Display indicates how many Distributed Panels have been found and 
all event buffers are cleared.

The 'Power' indicator is on as long as there is power available to the PVC Master Panel.

The 'Alarm' indicator will be on whenever an Evacuation Signal or Alert Signal is active.

The 'Fault' indicator will be on (blinking) whenever a fault has occurred in the PVC system. The 
Message display will indicate a code for the fault that has occurred. In addition, the audible fault 
signal will be active (beep tone)as long as the fault persists. The 'Fault Silence' switch can be used 
to silence the  audible fault indication, but  the visual indicator can  only be cleared by  an PVC 
system Reset. If the fault is cleared manually the yellow led indicator can be cleared with a single 
click of the reset switch.

The 'All-Call' switch will select all available Evacuation/Paging zones on the Paging/Zone Control 
panel when clicked. Individual paging zones may be deselected using the Paging/Zone Control 
switches, but a second click of the 'All-Call' switch will deselect the remainder.

The 'System Reset' switch will clear the Master Panel back to it's power on condition but will not 
cause the system to rerun the 'Power On Diagnostics' program (see 'Global Reset' below). After 
the 'System Reset' has run its course any Evacuation or Alert Signal that has been input will be re-
processed.

The 'System Reset' switch must be clicked twice within a two second interval to take effect.

A 'Global Reset' can be initiated by holding the "Fault Silence' switch in the up position while the 
'System Reset' switch is clicked twice. This will rerun the  'Power On Diagnostics' program.
Observe the message display during the reset. It will d0 then the number of Distributed 
panels in the communication loop of the PVC system.
