4.6 - Silence the Alarm
When it is certain that it is safe to return to the building the Silence Alarm button should be pressed. The user will
then be prompted to enter a valid user access code using the navigation keys. Up to 30 seconds should then be
allowed for all sounders to silence. If a device is still in an alarm condition the sounders will not sound again unless
another device goes into alarm. If an alarm is left unsilenced, the sounders will turn o automatically after 30 min-
utes. The system can be silenced and reset without an access code by turning o ‘Code Protect’; see 6.9 – System
Options.
4.7 - Re-sound the Sounders
There may be times when the sounders have been mistakenly silenced – for example if the alarm was genuine but
someone pressed silence. The Re-Sound Alarm button followed by a valid access code will activate the sounders
again.
4.8 - Reset the Alarm
Assuming the reason for the alarm condition has been investigated; pressing Reset after silencing the alarm will
return the system to its normal operation screen and reset the devices that prompted the alarm. The user will be
prompted to enter a valid access code using the navigation keys. The system can be silenced and reset without a
code by turning o ‘Code Protect’; see 6.9 – System Options.
If a device has remained in alarm (i.e. the glass has not been replaced in a callpoint or a smoke detector detects
smoke is still inside the unit) after silencing the alarm and pressing Reset, the panel will redisplay the alarm and the
sounders will sound again.
