This icon indicates a manual call point alarm (sprinkler).
Manual call point alarm
(“hausalarm”) [1]
This icon indicates a manual call point alarm
(“hausalarm”). This is a local alarm with no fire routing
activation.
[1] These icons appear in the message display area with the
notification details.
A maximum limit of 512 events applies to each type of reported event. If one or more event
exceeds the maximum limit, then a System Fault is indicated. See “System Fault LED
indication – maximum limit for event type reporting” on page 11 for more information.
Indication of remote and local events on the LCD
The local control panel ID is always displayed on the LCD (see Figure 3 on page
12).
If your control panel forms part of a fire network, the event notification includes
the panel ID reporting the event as follows:
• If the panel ID matches the local ID, then the event relates to the local control
panel
• If the panel ID does not match the local ID, then the event is reported by the
remote control panel with the panel ID indicated
Repeater panels are installed only in fire networks and by default have a network
board installed. Fire alarm control panels must have a network board installed to
connect to a fire network.
Acoustic indicators
The control panel buzzer acts as an acoustic indicator to highlight system events.
Caution: The information in the table below describes the default configuration.
The control panel buzzer can be configured not to activate for fire alarm, fault,
condition, or external connection events (see “Buzzer” on page 80).
