MAIN ALARM LIGHT 

An alarm condition triggers the following events: 

• The red main alarm light flashes. 

• The matrix’s internal alarm buzzer sounds. 

• Any installed alarm relay outputs switch to active (the normally open 

contact closes and the normally closed contact opens). When the 
alarm relay activates, it can cause an externally connected device 
like a light or buzzer to switch on. 

• One of the six auxiliary red alarm lights may go on to more precisely 

indicate the source of the alarm condition. (These lights are 
discussed in further detail later in this section.)

ALARM RESET BUTTON

When you press the alarm reset button, the following events take 
place, even if the alarm condition has not been corrected: 

• The internal audible alarm buzzer stops buzzing. 

• Any wired relay contacts return to their inactive state. If these relays 

are connected to external alarm lights or alarm buzzers, those 
lights or buzzers shut off.

If the original alarm condition still exists, the red main alarm light on the 
matrix’s front panel continues to flash. The red main alarm light only 
stops flashing when all original sources triggering the alarm are 
corrected. 

If a new alarm condition or conditions occur before the original alarm 
conditions are corrected, the internal buzzer and relay contacts will not 
reactivate. They will only reactivate after all original alarm conditions 
are corrected. 

AUXILIARY ALARM LIGHTS  

When an alarm condition occurs, any of the six auxiliary alarm lights 
may switch on, in addition to the main alarm light, to help you diagnose 
the alarm condition. The following sections describe the six auxiliary 
alarm lights. 

External Alarm (“Ext Alarm”)

The “external” alarm (labelled “EXT ALARM”) light switches on to 
indicate that an alarm condition has triggered the built-in relay outputs 
to turn on any externally installed alarms such as lights or bells. You 
connect the external alarm to the matrix through the 9-pin D-type 
connector on the matrix’s rear panel labeled “Alarm I/O.”
