The Alarm state and some Fault conditions latch within the panel so they can be
acknowledged and viewed. When the latched states are no longer required they can be reset.
The condition that caused each point to go into alarm must be cleared before the system can
reset to the normal state, (e.g. smoke cleared from smoke detectors, glass replaced in manual
call point).
Press the <SYSTEM RESET> key. What happens next depends on whether all alarm
conditions are clear or not, as follows:
•
If all Alarm Conditions are Clear
, the system outputs two messages. One
indicates that the system is processing the action. This message is followed by a
message stating, “No Alarms Present - System Reset Complete.” If the individual
acknowledge option is enabled on the system, you may also need to acknowledge the
alarm again when it clears.
•
If any Alarm Condition is Not Clear , t he system attempts to reset the point for
25 seconds. During this interval, it displays a message that reads, “System Reset in
Progress”. If the point fails to clear, the system displays a message that reads
“Alarms Present – System Reset Aborted”.
Note: If this occurs, you must clear (fix) the condition that is causing the
alarm or disable the point from the panel. Refer to “Disabling a Point” in
Chapter 4 for information on doing this.
