4.0 Main Display Buttons
4.1 System Reset Button
4.2 Signal Silence Button
4.3 Fire Drill Button
4.4 AUTOMATIC ALARM SIGNAL CANCEL Button (or ALM/SUP/
TBL/BLDG AUDIBLE SIL Button for Single Stage System)
4.5 General Alarm Button
The System Reset button resets the fire alarm control panel and all circuits.
Pressing the SIGNAL SILENCE button when the panel is in alarm deactivates any silenceable
signal devices in the fire alarm system. Non-Silenceable signal devices are unaffected. If you
press the SIGNAL SILENCE button a second time, or if there is a subsequent alarm, the signals
will re-sound. If the panel has been configured with a Signal Silence Inhibit timer, this button will
not work until the timer times out. This button also does not work if you have pressed the FIRE
DRILL button.
In a two-stage system, the SIGNAL SILENCE button silences the stage 1 and stage 2 alarms.
Pressing the Fire Drill button will simulate a fire alarm by activating the fire alarm signals without
transmitting an alarm to the central station. To cancel the fire drill, press the button again. If the fire
alarm system goes into a real alarm while you are performing a fire drill, this button will not turn off
the signals or activate any programmed relays.
If the Panel is configured as a two-stage system, pressing the AUTOMATIC ALARM SIGNAL
CANCEL (Acknowledge) button while the Auto General Alarm timer is running (there is an alarm in
the panel, but it is still in the first stage), cancels the timer and illuminates the amber AUTOMATIC
ALARM SIGNAL CANCEL LED steadily, thereby acknowledging the alarm.
If the Panel is not configured as a two-stage system, this button becomes ALM/SUP/TBL/BLDG
AUDIBLE SIL (buzzer silence). Press ALM/SUP/TBL/BLDG AUDIBLE SIL to silence the buzzer.
Press the GENERAL ALARM button to immediately send the panel into General Alarm or total
evacuation. It also re-activates the signals if they have been silenced during General Alarm. The
General Alarm condition remains active until the SYSTEM RESET button is pressed.
