OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Standby Condition
In normal standby operation, the green AC POWER ON LED should be illuminated and no
other indicator operating. The display will show the system name, “System Normal”
announcement and the current date, day, and time.
Alarm Conditions
• NORMAL ALARM
In case of alarm, the system alarm LED will operate in a flashing mode and the buzzer will
sound. Local audible and visual signals and remote alarm signals will operate, and the LCD
panel display will indicate the zone or point initiating the alarm.
On receipt of an alarm, proceed in accordance with the established emergency plan.
Assure that all personnel are accounted for, and notify the Fire Department.
To silence the audible after evacuation, where permitted by the codes and control panel
programming, press ALARM SILENCE. The alarm audible will be silenced, the alarm
silence LED will be illuminated and a system trouble indicated. Operating the
ACKNOWLEDGE button will silence the local buzzer and change the LED alarm indicator
from flashing to steady.
• WATERFLOW ALARMS
Alarms detected on zones designated “waterflow” indicate sprinkler operation and the
audible alarms cannot be silenced in this condition. Operation of alarm silence will produce
no effect.
• POSITIVE ALARM SEQUENCE (PAS)
Activation of a zone programmed for PAS, activates the Alarm LED, display and buzzer
(pulsing), and starts the PAS timer, but delays all other outputs (system and user) for 15
seconds.
Operation of the ACKNOWLEDGE button within 15 seconds will add a number of seconds
(60-180) to the PAS timer. If the ACKNOWLEDGE button is not operated within 15
seconds, the system and user outputs activate.
If the initiating device and the panel are reset before the PAS timer times out, the alarm
sequence is aborted.
An alarm condition on a detector programmed for direct alarm response (such as the key
switch on a manual station) will over-ride the PAS timer and activate the outputs.
