8 1X-X3 Operation Manual
Control/LED LED colour Description
Fire Sounders
Start/Stop button
and LED
Red The LED indicates what happens when
is pressed:
If the LED is on (flashing or steady), pressing the
button silences the fire sounders.
If the LED is off, pressing the button activates the
fire sounders (if the control panel status and
operating mode allow manual activation of
sounders).
The LED also indicates the status of the
sounders:
• Steady indicates that fire sounders are active
(or will be activated shortly)
• Flashing indicates that a delay countdown is
in progress (fire sounders are activated when
the configured delay elapses or when the
delay is cancelled)
• Off indicates that the fire sounders are off (or
will be deactivated shortly)
Note: To prevent the immediate silencing of fire
sounders when an alarm is first reported, the Fire
Sounders Start/Stop button may be temporarily
disabled during a configured fire sounder delay
countdown. For more information, see “Stopping
or restarting fire sounders” on page 21.
