Section 2 Switch Functions
Acknowledge/Scroll Display.
This silences the piezo
sounder and changes all flashing conditions to steady. Only one press
is necessary, regardless of the number of new alarms, troubles, or
supervisory signals. If the piezo is silenced, it sends an acknowledge
message to the printer and history file. Acknowledge also automati-
cally sends a special command to silence piezo sounders on the
FDU-80 and ACS Annunciators.
Signal Silence.
S
IGNAL
S
ILENCE
performs all the functions of
A
CKNOWLEDGE
. In addition, if an alarm exists, it turns off all silence-
able circuits and illuminates the S
IGNALS
S
ILENCED
indicator. It also
sends a S
IGNALS
S
ILENCED
message to the LCD display, printer, and
history file. A subsequent alarm will then resound the system.
Notes:
1. This unit is programmed to inhibit signal silence for ____seconds.
2. This unit is programmed to automatically silence alarm signal after
_____ minutes.
Drill.
The NFS-320/E/C waits for the Drill switch to be pressed for
2 seconds (to prevent accidental activations), then turns on all silence-
able circuits (all FCM-1 modules/bell circuits that are programmed
silenceable), and turns off the Signals Silenced LED. It sends a Drill
Activated message to the LCD display, FDU-80, printer, and History
file.
System Reset.
Resets the control panel in standalone applica-
tions. Resets panel when enabled in network applications.
Lamp Test.
Press and hold the switch to lamp-test the LEDs.
Section 3 LED Indicators
Controls Active.
Green LED which illuminates when the panel
assumes control of local operation as primary display. Turns off auto-
matically when another panel assumes control of local operation.
Power.
Green LED which illuminates when primary power is
applied to the control panel.
Pre-Discharge.
Red LED lights when any of the releasing zones
have been activated, but have not yet discharged a releasing agent;
turns off when no releasing zones are in the pre-discharge state.
Discharge.
Red LED lights when any of the releasing zones are
active and in the process of discharging a releasing agent; turns off
when no releasing zones are discharging a releasing agent.
Abort Active.
Yellow LED lights when an abort switch has been
activated; turns off when an abort switch has been pressed and its
timer is still counting down. Activation of a Manual Release Switch
will override Predischarge Delay and override an active Abort Release
Switch, resulting in an immediate agent release.
Fire Alarm.
Red LED that flashes when one or more alarms occur.
Illuminates steadily after alarms are acknowledged; turns off when
S
YSTEM
R
ESET
is pressed after alarm clears.
Pre-Alarm.
Red LED that flashes when a pre-alarm threshold is
reached. The LCD display indicates if it is an ALERT or ACTION
pre-alarm.

turns off after the alarm clears and S
YSTEM
R
ESET
is pressed.

ard Alert or Tamper condition occurs, such as a sprinkler valve tamper
condition. The LED turns off when the Supervisory condition clears.
The Hazard Alert or Tamper indication will latch until reset.
System Trouble.
Yellow LED that flashes when one or more
troubles occur. Goes on steadily when A
CKNOWLEDGE
is pressed, and
turns off when all trouble conditions are cleared. Will illuminate if the
microprocessor watchdog timer fails (CPU FAIL).
Signals Silenced.
Yellow LED that illuminates after S
IGNALS
S
ILENCED
has been pressed. Turns off when D
RILL
or S
YSTEM
R
ESET
is pressed.
Point Disabled.
Yellow LED that illuminates when one or more
points are disabled. The LCD will indicate which points have been
disabled. Turns off when points are re-enabled.
Section 4 Audible Tone Indicator
Alarm.
A continuous sounding tone.
Trouble/Security.
A slow, pulsating tone signal having an equal
on and off time.
Supervisory.
A fast, pulsating tone signal having an equal on and
off time.
Section 5 Periodic Testing and Maintenance
To ensure proper and reliable operation, system inspection and testing
should be scheduled monthly, or as required by NFPA 72 or local fire
codes. A qualified Service Representative should perform testing.
Before Testing:
Notify fire department and/or central alarm
receiving station if alarm condition is transmitted. Notify facility per-
sonnel of the test so alarm sounding devices are ignored during the test
period.
After Testing:
Notify all fire, central station, and/or building per-
sonnel when testing is complete.
