Introduction
EST3 System Operation Manual 1.9
Normally, systems are designed so that instruction text is sent to
directly to a printer. It is not intended for use from the panel
display.
Display priorities
The panel controller places all events into one of five categories:
• Fire alarms - life safety related events, e.g. smoke detector,
sprinkler system waterflow, manual pull station, etc.
• Security alarms - include burglar and holdup alarms, as
generated by security devices
• Supervisory events - off normal conditions of a related fire
protection system, e.g. sprinkler system valve closed.
• Trouble events - faults within the system
• Monitor events - changes in the status of an ancillary system
Because events can happen at random, the system prioritizes
which event is the most critical and displays its information first.
Alarm events have the highest priority and monitor events have
the lowest priority.
In the U.S. Local and Proprietary market place, security events
have a higher priority than monitor events and are stored in the
supervisory queue. For all market place settings other than U.S.
Local and Proprietary, security events and monitor events have
equal priority and are stored in the monitor queue.
