Description

Alarm

The ALARM LED is lit when the Fire1 Alarm threshold is reached.

Pre-Alarm

The PRE-ALARM LED blinks when the Alert threshold is reached.

The PRE-ALARM LED is lit when the Action threshold is reached.

Disabled

The DISABLED LED is lit when the detector is disabled.

Fault

The FAULT LED is lit when a fault condition is detected.

Refer to Chapter 8 for information on troubleshooting.

Power

The POWER LED illuminates when the detector is powered up.

Notes:

The LEDs are tested during the power up cycle. To manually test the LEDs, run the Lamp Test using
Xtralis VSC.

Power and Fault LEDs are also present on the main board inside the VLI for when the front panel is
disconnected during installation or maintenance.
