Viewing event details

The off-normal events that take place in the system contain event information

that is displayed on the LCD screen. Additional information is available on a

secondary screen called the Event Details screen.

To display the event details screen:

1. When an event takes place, press Enter on the front panel.
2. View the event details.

For a description of the information displayed on the screen, see “LCD display

screen” on page 140. The event details screen is displayed for 15 seconds if

there is no activity and then returns to the previous screen.

Note:

Use the up and down arrow keys to scroll through multiple events.

Resetting the panel

Pressing Reset restores the fire alarm system to the normal state provided that

there are no active devices or circuits. The Reset command does not restore

disabled or latched devices. Disabled devices must be enabled and latched

output devices must be unlatched before they can be restored.
Latched devices are restored when they are unlatched, provided the alarm that

triggered the output no longer exists. However, when a user tries to restore the

unlatched outputs via the user key or control menu, the output is restored

regardless of the alarm condition. Also, when signal silence inhibit or reset inhibit

is enabled, the system will not restore until the silence or reset inhibit period

lapses.

WARNING:

To avoid possible injury or loss of life, do not reset the fire alarm

system until the appropriate authority determines that it is safe to do so.

To reset the panel:

1. Press the Reset button.
When you reset the panel:
• “Reset” displays on the top-right of the LCD, alternating with the active and

disabled points display.

• Devices in an off-normal state remain in their off-normal state until the

element causing their off-normal state clears.
