Disable state
The control panel enters the disable state when a point signals that a system
component is disabled.
When a point is disabled, the control panel does not process any of the point’s
status changes and the point remains in its current state. For example, if an
audible device type in the normal state was disabled and subsequently activated,
the audible device type would not turn on until it was enabled. Conversely, if an
active audible device type were disabled and subsequently restored, the audible
device type would not turn off until it was enabled.
If a point in trouble is disabled and the cause of the trouble changes while the
point is disabled, the point’s original trouble event message may not update
when the point is enabled.
Note: For anything other than a zone, use the Disabled Points command on the
Status Menu to identify a disabled point.

• Activates the first trouble pseudo point

Indication of the disable state
