Sounder (buzzer) pulses
•
EWS and External bell activate
•

Figure 2-1. Firefigher Facility, Showing Typical Alarm
The first step in managing an alarm condition is to
acknowledge
the alarm. Acknowledging
an alarm does two important things:
•
It records the time and date at which you observed the presence of the alarm and stores
that information in the system’s historical log.
•
If multiple alarms are present, the system displays specific data for the next alarm when
you press the <ACK> key.
The <ACK> key, which is used to acknowledge alarms, is located within the Firefighter’s
Facility. Refer to Figure 2-1 for its location.
Use the following procedure to acknowledge alarm(s).
1. Unlock and open the enclosure door.
Read
the alphanumeric display within the
Firefighter Facility. It reports the location of the alarm, the type of alarm (in the example
below, the type is SMOKE, indicating a smoke detector is in alarm), and the number of
alarm conditions.
