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
10).
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.

The control panel buzzer acts as an acoustic indicator to highlight system events.
