4. Read Status Operation
Introduction
This section contains instructions and sample screens to show how to access all Read Status functions
and menus. For information on Read Status using a CRT-2 refer to Appendix C: Remote Terminal
Access.
What is Read Status?
Read Status is a control panel function that lets you view system program information—but not change
any programmed settings. The Read Status function lets you do the following:
•
View Read Status information without entering a password.
•
Enter and operate Read Status functions while the control panel provides full fire protection.
•
View Read Status information while a fire alarm or trouble condition exists.
Note:
If a fire alarm or trouble occurs while you are in Read Status, the control panel automatically exits Read Status
operation and displays the new fire alarm or trouble.
Quick Reference Key Sequences
For quick reference, in the left margin next to each Read Status option is a block that
shows the key sequence needed to view that option.
For example, the block to the left shows how to display the “Read Point” screen:
