TIPS: ACKNOWLEDGEMENT VS. RESETTING
• Reset an alarm if you believe the condition that
caused it is fixed, but you wish for a new alarm to
occur if the problem happens again.
• You MUST reset an alarm that has been previ-
ously acknowledged to re-enable alarming for
the alarm. Failure to do so will cause the alarm
to remain in ACK, and the alarm will not be gen-
erated again. AN ACKNOWLEDGED ALARM
WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY RESET.
• Acknowledge an alarm to silence alarm panel
horns or lights, ONLY IF technicians have been
notified of the problem and have been dis-
patched. Technicians, after fixing the problem,
MUST reset or clear the alarm to re-enable
alarming.
