Common alarm indicators
See Figure 4. There are four common alarm indicators on the panel, they are:
•
Fire
•
Fault
•
Disabled
•
Other
These are used to indicate the presence of an alarm in four categories. The most important of
these is the Fire alarm indicator. The others draw attention to alarms of lesser importance.
Common “Fire” indicator
This indicator illuminates when any fire alarm is received by, or is currently present, in the
system. The indicator flashes for a new alarm, and becomes steady after an alarm has been
accepted. New alarms must be responded to immediately. Other indicators identify the location
of the alarm, and are described later in this document. This indicator is normally off.
Common “Fault” indicator
This indicator illuminates when any fault alarm is received by, or is currently present, in the
system. Other indicators identify the location and type of fault. Fault alarms have different levels
of severity; some may take the complete system out of operation, some may take only a small
part of the system out of operation, while others may simply report a condition that needs
attention. Refer to
on page 18 for more details. This indicator is normally off.
