Red The LED indicates what happens when the button is
pressed.
If the LED is on (flashing or steady), pressing the button
silences the sounders.
If the LED is off, pressing the button activates the
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 sounders are active (or will be
activated shortly)
• Flashing indicates that a delay is counting
(sounders are activated when the configured delay

• Off indicates that the sounders are off (or will be
deactivated shortly)
To prevent the immediate silencing of sounders when
an alarm is first reported, the Sounder Start/Stop button
may be temporarily blocked when a configured
delay is counting down. For more information, see
“Sounders silence disable time” on page 98.
Depending on the size of the installation, processing
commands to start or stop sounders may take a few
seconds to travel through the system. This is why, for
