4.6 - Silence the Alarm
When it is certain that it is safe to return to the building the
Silence Alarm
button should be pressed.
The user will then be prompted to enter a valid user access code using the navigation keys. Up to 30
seconds should then be allowed for all sounders to silence. If a device is still in an alarm condition the
sounders will not sound again unless another device goes into alarm. If an alarm is left unsilenced, the
sounders will turn off automatically after 30 minutes. The system can be silenced and reset without an
access code by turning off ‘Code Protect’; see 6.9 – System Options.
4.7 - Re-sound the Sounders
There may be times when the sounders have been mistakenly silenced – for example if the alarm was
genuine but someone pressed silence. The
Re-Sound Alarm
button followed by a valid access code will
activate the sounders again.
4.8 - Reset the Alarm
Assuming the reason for the alarm condition has been investigated; pressing
Reset
after silencing the
alarm will return the system to its normal operation screen and reset the devices that prompted the
alarm. The user will be prompted to enter a valid access code using the navigation keys. The system
can be silenced and reset without a code by turning off ‘Code Protect’; see 6.9 – System Options.
If a device has remained in alarm (i.e. the glass has not been replaced in a callpoint or a smoke detector
detects smoke is still inside the unit) after silencing the alarm and pressing
Reset
, the panel will
redisplay the alarm and the sounders will sound again.

A Level 2A basic user can view the current operational condition of the system, access the
disable/enable menu and may silence and reset alarms.
A Level 2B advanced user in addition has access to test mode and the event log.
A Level 3A engineer in addition has access to system and device information and the verify table.
A Level 3B commissioning engineer has access to all system options, including programming and
configuration of devices and hardware.
All menus, settings and options described in this manual show the required access level in the title. For
