NORMAL PANEL OPERATION
(Press Menu to View)
The LCD provides detailed information on the operational status of the panel.
The normal standby state is shown above.
Information is shown on the display in the following
priority order:
Fire Alarms
1
MNS (Mass Notification)
1
Pre-Alarms
1
Supervisory Events
2
Trouble Events
3
Other Events including Disable, Test and Warning Conditions
4
During an alarm condition, pre-alarms, warnings, troubles, and other non-alarm events are suppressed, with the
exception of MNS (Mass Notification) and Supervisory, from the graphical LCD display. These events can be
viewed at anytime by accessing the navigation keys and the display’s menu/view functions.
7.2.1 Fire Alarm Condition
To minimize confusion and only provide pertinent information during emergency situations, the AX-CTL-1L, AX-
CTL-2 and AX-CTL-4 intelligent fire alarm control panels when in alarm only display alarm and if applicable mass
notification and supervisory events. The display also provides a tally of these three (3) events. All other non-
emergency events such as troubles, disabled zones/points, etc. are suppressed. These events however, can be
viewed at anytime by accessing the panel menu and selecting the view button.
There are a number of different display messages that are displayed on the AX-DSP alphanumeric graphic display
during an alarm, depending upon whether the event is acknowledged or unacknowledged and whether mass
notification and/or supervisory events are present.
7.2.1.1 Unacknowledged and Acknowledged Alarms with and without MNS or Supervisory Events
When the system registers an alarm event, the alarm LED will flash, the internal buzzer will sound (continuously),
and the display will indicate “NEW ALARM IN ZONE xxxx” (unacknowledged event). In addition, the zone in alarm
message (32 characters), the device in alarm message (26 characters) and the type of device for the specific
zone/device in alarm will be displayed. The bottom line of the display will be highlighted and will indicate a tally of
the number of alarms, mass notification and supervisory events. Also, the notification appliances, relays and other
outputs, depending upon programming options selected by the installer will activate.
During an alarm event, the display will only indicate the first alarm and a tally of any additional alarms, mass
notification and supervisory events. If multiple alarm, mass notification and supervisory events are present the
additional events may be viewed by scrolling (Scroll ↓) through the display. The (Scroll ↓) feature is only active when
multiple viewable events are present.
