6.0 Understanding On-screen Messages
The screen of the fire alarm control panel displays messages regarding system events.
System events display on the screen in a queue. Events in this queue are listed on the screen
in order of priority: alarms are of highest priority, followed by supervisory, trouble, and monitor
conditions. If the same type of event happens more than once (for example, two trouble
conditions occur) they will be listed in the order of the most recent event to the least recent
event. If an alarm, supervisory, or trouble condition occurs, their respective LED will flash.
Scroll through the events by using the and arrow buttons. If you need more
information about a displayed event, press .
