OPERATOR ACTIONS AT VDU
If a VDU terminal is installed, some of the operator actions, listed in Section 3, are also possible from
the keyboard of that VDU. Whether the four main controls (MUTE, EVACUATE, SILENCE SOUNDERS
and RESET) are available or not, depends on the configuration of your particular system. See the
ID1000 Series Programming Manual (997-340-003) for details.
You will be able to determine whether the main controls are available on your system by examining
the bottom line of the VDU display. Only if there is a menu of function key actions, beginning with
‘F10=MUTE...’, are the controls available on your system; if not, the following four sections should be
ignored.
Note that only the current overall status of the system is displayed on the VDU (as on line 1 of the
LCD display), no date/time and no alarm point identification.
4.1 MUTE Internal Sounder
Press Function Key F10. The same MUTE operations as defined in Section 3.3 are carried out, but
there is no ‘scrolling’ display and no review of other events outstanding.
4.2 EVACUATE
Press Function Key F12. The same EVACUATE actions as defined in Section 3.4 are carried out.
Note that to subsequently SILENCE SOUNDERS you must press the appropriate pushbutton on the
panel, the corresponding VDU key will not function.
4.3 SILENCE SOUNDERS
Press Function Key F14. Except following an EVACUATE operation (when initiated from the panel),
this key will lead to the same SILENCE actions as defined in Section 3.5. After an EVACUATE action
initiated from the panel (also with some installations an EVACUATE action initiated from any point)
this key will have no effect.
Following ‘System Fault 40’, the SILENCE SOUNDERS and MUTE INTERNAL SOUNDERS
pushbutton on the panel will silence the fault buzzer.
4.4 RESET
