PRE-ALARM STATE
Refer to Section 3.4.2 for a complete description of the Pre-Alarm state.
System detectors can be configured to initiate two levels of Pre-Alarms (Pre-Alarm 1 and Pre-Alarm 2). As
the smoke obscuration or temperature level in a detector exceeds the programmed Pre-Alarm levels, the
control panel does the following:
1. PRE-ALARM LED flashes (PRE-ALARM 1 or PRE-ALARM 2).
2. TROUBLE LED flashes (panel trouble relay does not activate).
3. Panel sounder activates steady.
4. LED on active device will slow blink (Red) to indicate a Pre-Alarm 1 status. It will change to a fast
blink for Pre-Alarm 2.
5. Associated system outputs (notification and control) will activate if programmed for specific Zone and
State of activated device.
6. Sends Pre-Alarm message to remote displays, history buffer, printers, and PC monitoring stations.
7. Displays Pre-Alarm event on the LCD display for 100 seconds as follows; then switches to the
System Status Display if all events are restored and no buttons are pressed:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0

How to respond to a Pre-Alarm Event:
1. Press the ACKNOWLEDGE button to silence the panel sounder only. The panel PRE-ALARM LED will
change from flashing to steady. The control panel will send an acknowledge message to remote
displays, history buffer, printers, and PC monitoring stations.
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 Pre-Alarm event. Contact Fike for a complete listing of system event
messages and suggested corrective actions.
5. Press the SILENCE button to silence the panel sounder and any activated outputs that are programmed
as silenceable. The panel PRE-ALARM LED will change from flashing to steady. The control panel will
send a silence message to remote displays, history buffer, printers, and PC monitoring stations.
6. Correct the condition causing the Pre-Alarm event.
Note:
Pre-Alarms are non-latching. Once the obscuration level lowers below the pre-alarm level, the
panel will return to normal if no other events are present.
Note:
There is NO Pre-Alarm communication with the DACT.
