Common Indicators
Buzzer
The buzzer is activated by any of the following:
• Fire alarm : steady
• Supervisory alarm : fast flash rate
• Trouble : trouble flash rate
If the buzzer turns on in response to a non-latching trouble or supervisory, it will turn off if the condition causing it to
sound goes away and there is no other reason for it to be on.
AC ON LED
The green AC ON LED illuminates steadily while the main AC power is within acceptable levels. It turns off when
the level falls below the power-fail threshold and the panel switches to standby (battery) power.
Common Alarm LED
The red Common Alarm LED illuminates steadily whenever the panel is in alarm as a result of an alarm on any
initiating circuit or activation of the manual red General Alarm Button (if the panel is set for two stage operation).
Since all alarms are latched until the panel is reset, the LED will remain on until then.
Common Supervisory LED
The amber Common Supervisory LED illuminates steadily when there is a supervisory alarm in the panel resulting
from any latching or non-latching supervisory circuit. The LED turns off if all non-latching supervisory circuits are
restored and there are no active latching supervisory circuits. Latching supervisory alarms remain active until the
panel is reset.
Common Trouble LED
The Common Trouble LED flashes amber at the trouble flash rate when the panel detects any trouble condition. It
turns off when all non-latching troubles are cleared.
Remote Failure LED
The Remote Failure LED flashes amber at the trouble flash rate if the panel detects:
• Trouble at the city tie, or
• Trouble at the UDACT, or
• Communication trouble with a remote annunciator, or
• Local trouble with a remote annunciator.
It turns off once these conditions return to normal.
Fire Drill LED
The amber Fire Drill LED illuminates steadily while the fire drill is active.
Acknowledge LED
If the panel is configured as two stage, the Acknowledge LED flashes amber at the fast flash rate while the Auto
General Alarm timer is timing out. It illuminates steadily when the timer is cancelled by activating the Acknowledge
or Signal Silence buttons. If the Auto General Alarm timer times-out and puts the panel into General Alarm, the LED
turns off.
General Alarm LED
In two stage operation only, the red General Alarm LED illuminates steadily after the General Alarm button is
pressed, a general alarm initiating circuit is activated, or the Auto General Alarm timer times out. Once the General
Alarm LED turns on, it will stay active until the panel is reset.
Configuration / Test Mode LED
The amber Configuration / Test Mode LED illuminates steadily to indicate that the panel is in either walk test or
