Canceling the alarm
Before the alarms are silenced, the source of the incident should be established. It is assumed in
the following descriptions of the operator’ s actions that the SILENCE ALARMS, RESET and
ACCEPT keys have been enabled via the CONTROLS ON/OFF key switch or by entering the
four digit access code.
Accepting the alarm
• Accept the alarm by pressing the ACCEPT key.
Accepting an alarm has the following effects:
• The control panel’ s internal buzzer will stop sounding.
• The flashing LED’ s become steady
• The panel remains in an alarm supervisory condition.
Silencing the alarm
• Silence the sounders by pressing the SILENCE ALARMS key
Silencing an alarm has the following effects:
• The system’ s alarm sounders will stop sounding
• The panel remains in an alarm supervisory condition.
Resetting the System
Note
• It is not possible to RESET the system until the alarm has been accepted i.e. unless
ACCEPT is pressed first.
• It is possible to RESET system without first operating, the SILENCE ALARMS. If the
alarms have not been first silenced before the RESET key is operated then operation of the
RESET key will have the effect of silencing the sounders as well as resetting the system.
• Before the system is reset, the cause of the alarm must be investigated and rectified. This
may involve removing the source of smoke/heat from a sensor for example. If in doubt as to
removing the cause of the alarm, maintenance personnel should be called.
• If a subsequent alarm occurs, the panel will raise another alarm with the new triggering
event displayed.
