  Anthony GonzalesAug 3, 2025
  If you're unable to reset the Fike Fire Alarms system, there could be a few reasons: * The alarms may not be silenced. Ensure you silence them before attempting a reset. * You might not have the necessary access level. Make sure you're in Access Level 2 (User) or Access Level 2B (Supervisor). * An alarm condition may still be present. Remove the cause of the alarm; for example, reset the call point element with a key.
