Introduction
1.2 EST3 System Operation Manual
Introduction
System operating requirements can be configured based on
geographic location and protected premises ownership.
In North America, systems can be configured as protected
premises (local) systems or as proprietary systems, both in
compliance with NFPA 72.
In the local mode, there is no requirement to acknowledge each
individual event. Each event message can be reviewed using the
Previous and Next buttons. System events that automatically
restore will automatically be removed from the message queue,
without requiring the operator to view a restoral message.
In the proprietary mode, each event must be individually
acknowledged by pressing the respective message acknowledge
button. The Previous and Next button functions are not available
in the proprietary mode. Operators are required to acknowledge
both an event and its restoration to remove it from a message
queue.
Note: Alarm and supervisory events do not automatically
restore. They remain in their respective message queues until the
system is manually reset.
Password protection
Certain front-panel controls and command menu functions are
password-protected and have a user access level that is
determined by the marketplace setting. The four user access
levels are detailed in Table 1-1.
Each access level is given a default password that should be
changed once the panel is put into service. See Chapter 2:
Changing user access level passwords for more information.
