Signal Silence Button
Activation of the Signal Silence button when the panel is in alarm turns on the Signal Silence indicator and
deactivates any Silenceable Indicating Circuits. Non-Silenceable Circuits are unaffected. Signals will re-sound upon
any subsequent alarm. Subsequent operation of signal silence resounds all Silenceable signals. This button does
not function during any configured Signal Silence Inhibit Timer period. It also does not function if the Indicating
Circuits are active as the result of a Fire Drill.
Fire Drill Button
The Fire Drill button activates all Non-Disconnected Indicating Circuits, but does not transmit any Alarms via the
City Tie, Common Alarm Relay or Auxiliary Alarm Relay. Fire Drill activates the signals in the evacuation code
programmed. For example in the Temporal Code, the signals will be pulsed ON for 0.5 seconds, OFF for 0.5
seconds in rounds of 3 and then pause for 1.5 seconds and repeat.
Fire Drill is cancelled by pressing the button again, or if the Panel goes into a real alarm.
Auxiliary Disconnect Button
Activating the Auxiliary Disconnect button activates the Auxiliary Disconnect function. The Auxiliary Alarm Relay is
always disconnected with this button. The Common Alarm Relay, the Common Supervisory relay and all correlated
alarm relays may be disconnected as selected through configuration. Activating the Auxiliary Disconnect button
also causes the Common Trouble LED to illuminate steady, the common trouble relay to send a trouble message
and the trouble buzzer to flash at the trouble flash rate. Pressing the Auxiliary Disconnect button again de-activates
this function and the system will go back to normal.
