3.3.11 DRILL STATE
Fire Alarm Drill inputs are frequently needed to perform a practice fire alarm drill/building evacuation test or
for the Fire Department to evacuate a building. The Drill State can be activated from the main panel Drill
button, an addressable input Monitor Module configured for Drill, or the Remote Display. When a Drill event
occurs, the control panel does the following:
1. Panel sounder pulses.
2. LED on active (Drill) device will turn on (Red) to indicate its active status.
3. Associated system outputs (notification and control) will activate if programmed for specific zone and
state of activated device.
4. Sends Drill message to remote displays, history buffer, printers, and PC monitoring stations.
5. Displays Drill 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

The following devices and panel circuits can be configured to participate in system drills:
Addressable Supervised Control Module: drill enabled by default
Addressable Relay Module: drill disabled by default
Main board NAC 1 & 2: drill disabled by default
Main board relays: drill disabled by default
CRM4 relays: drill disabled by default
How to respond to a Drill Event:
1. Press the ACKNOWLEDGE button to silence the panel sounder only. The control panel will send an
acknowledge message to remote displays, history buffer, printers, and PC monitoring stations.
2. Press the SILENCE button to silence the panel sounder and any activated outputs that are programmed
as silenceable. The control panel will send a silence message to remote displays, history buffer, printers,
and PC monitoring stations.
3. Drill events are latching. The control panel must be reset to return the system to Normal status.
Note:
The control panel’s NAC and relay circuits can be configured to participate in a system Drill. In
addition, the intelligent addressable control and relay modules can be configured to participate in system
Drills as well.
