Common alarm indicators 
See Figure 4. There are four common alarm indicators on the panel, they are: 
•  Fire 
•  Fault 
•  Disabled 
•  Other 
These are used to indicate the presence of an alarm in four categories. The most important of 
these is the Fire alarm indicator. The others draw attention to alarms of lesser importance. 
Common “Fire” indicator 
This indicator illuminates when any fire alarm is received by, or is currently present, in the 
system. The indicator flashes for a new alarm, and becomes steady after an alarm has been 
accepted. New alarms must be responded to immediately. Other indicators identify the location 
of the alarm, and are described later in this document. This indicator is normally off. 
Common “Fault” indicator 
This indicator illuminates when any fault alarm is received by, or is currently present, in the 
system. Other indicators identify the location and type of fault. Fault alarms have different levels 
of severity; some may take the complete system out of operation, some may take only a small 
part of the system out of operation, while others may simply report a condition that needs 
attention. Refer to Types of fault on page 18 for more details. This indicator is normally off.
