Chapter 3: Operating instructions
EST3X Technical Reference Manual 47
To access the Main Menu from the event message screen:
1. Click the rotary controller to display the Queue Menu, and then click Main
Menu.
Silencing the panel buzzer
The control panel EST3X sounds the panel buzzer when an event message is
posted into one of the event message queues. Pressing the Panel Silence button
or acknowledging the event message silences the buzzer. The panel buzzer
automatically re-sounds when a new event message is posted or when the panel
trouble resound timer expires (typically 24 hours).
Notes
• The panel buzzer may be configured to sound periodically to remind you of
unacknowledged event messages.
• For nonlatching events, the panel buzzer automatically silences when the
event is restored. For example, when a trouble clears.
• Pressing the Panel Silence button also silences the buzzer on remote
annunciators, provided the remote annunciators are communicating.
• The panel silence function can be programmed in the 3-SDU for an access
level password.
To silence the panel buzzer:
1. Press the Panel Silence button to acknowledge the event message.
2. If prompted, enter the access level password.
Silencing alarm signals
WARNING: The protected premises may be occupied. Do not silence alarm
signals or reset the control panel unless you are authorized to do so and only
after all occupants have been evacuated.
Pressing the Alarm Silence button silences all audible alarm signals and, if
configured, all visual alarm signals.
