How to respond to an Alarm / Waterflow Event:
1. Press the ACKNOWLEDGE button to silence the panel sounder only. The panel ALARM LED will
change from flashing to steady. The control panel will send an acknowledge message to remote
displays, history buffer, printers, PC monitoring stations, and DACT.
2. Press the F1 button to toggle Rows A and B on display to show the Panel-Loop-Address of active device.
3. Press the F2 button to toggle Rows C and D on display to show the extra 40 characters of the devices
custom message.
4. Investigate the cause of the Alarm and if a fire is present, follow the buildings emergency evacuation
procedures.
Proceed to next step only if it is determined that the event is a false Alarm.
5. Press the SILENCE button to silence the panel sounder and any activated outputs that are programmed
as silenceable. The panel ALARM LED will change from flashing to steady. The control panel will send a
silence message to remote displays, history buffer, printers, PC monitoring stations, and DACT.
6. Correct the condition causing the false Alarm; then press the system RESET button to clear the event
and return the panel to the Normal State. The control panel will send a SYSTEM NORMAL message to
remote displays, history buffer, printers, PC monitoring stations, and DACT.
Note:
Waterflow events will initiate a 2 second alarm verification time delay in order to prevent activation
of the module in the case of water pressure surges.
