Alarm Operation Operating Instructions
Input Zone
For Input Zones, the following is a typical message that could appear on the LCD display for a
device trouble:
The information displayed in the above example provides the following information:
• First line in display:
– The type of event; in this example OPEN indicating a circuit trouble
– Device type identifier; in this example, PULL STATION indicates a manual device. Other
device type identifiers which can be displayed include SMOKE for Smoke Detector, HEAT
for Heat Detector, etc.
• Second line in display:
– <ADJ>; refers to the user programmed adjective descriptor from library list resident in the
control panel or custom entry via PC.
– <NOUN>; refers to the user programmed noun descriptor from library list resident in the
control panel or custom entry via PC.
• Third line in display indicates Zone and the fault condition. Other possible troubles include:
 OPEN - indicating an open circuit
 DIRTY - maintenance alert indicating that a detector is near but below the allowed alarm
limit and is in need of maintenance before the performance is compromised
• Fourth line in display:
– Time; the current time in this example is 10:00A which represents 10:00 AM
– Date; the current month, day and year in this example is 03 for March, 08 for the 8th day of
the month, and 09 for the year 2009
Pressing the Acknowledge/Step or Alarm Silence key will cause the pulsing piezo to silence and the
system Trouble indicator to change from flashing to on steady. This block acknowledgment occurs
regardless of the number of troubles, alarms and supervisory events active in the system. When the
Acknowledge/Step key is pressed and at least one new alarm or trouble exists in the system, the
‘acknowledge’ message is sent to the printer and history file. If the trouble clears, either before or
after the Acknowledge/Step key is pressed, the ‘clear trouble’ message is sent to the printer and his-
tory file.
If all troubles clear and there are no supervisory or fire conditions active in the system, the system
returns to normal mode operation and the System All Normal message is shown on the LCD display
and sent to the history and printer files. The auto-restore feature will restore cleared troubles even
if the troubles were never acknowledged. Note that pressing the Alarm Silence key when only trou-
bles exist in the system will have the same effect as pressing the Acknowledge/Step key except the
Alarm Silenced indicator will light.
