PRE-ALARM CONDITIONS
Pre-alarm conditions are designed to warn the user that a smoke or heat detector is registering an
increase in conditions that could lead to a fire. Pre-alarms must be taken seriously as a fire condition
could be imminent.
In the event of a pre-alarm condition:-
• the panel’s internal sounder (if enabled) will pulse;
• the panel’s display will show details of the smoke or heat detector which is in pre-alarm, for example:
Should there be more than one
detector in pre-alarm, the top right
hand corner of the display will read
