2.3 Control Keys
The control panel provides five Control Keys as described below:
2.3.1 Acknowledge/Scroll Display
Use the ACKNOWLEDGE/SCROLL DISPLAY key to respond to new alarm or trouble signals. When
pressed, the control panel does the following:
• Silences the panel sounder
• Changes all active LED indicators from flashing to steady
• Sends an Acknowledge message to the History buffer and installed printers, CRT-2 terminals,
and FDU-80 annunciators
• Sends a signal to silence the sounders on the FDU-80 and ACS annunciators
You can also press this key to display multiple alarms or troubles. If more than one alarm or trouble
exists, the control panel displays the next alarm or trouble for 3 seconds (or until you press the
ACKNOWLEDGE/SCROLL DISPLAY key), then displays the next alarm or trouble.
DISCHARGE Red Lights when any of the releasing zones are active
and in the process of discharging a releasing agent.
Turns off automatically when no releasing
zones are discharging a releasing agent.
ABORT ACTIVE Yellow Lights when an abort switch has been activated.

Turns off automatically when an abort switch
has been pressed and its timer is still counting
down.
