1.1 The E-Series Display Panel
All of the e-series range, except for the Pico, has a full display panel as seen below. The Pico has no display but instead uses PC based
software that emulates the panel and can be used for all monitoring and calibration procedures. This software, detailed in the e-series
monitor section (page 37), can be used with all of the e-series and is supplied in all cases.
User Functions
ACCEPT Acts only on the internal sounder. Acknowledges all current Alarm states. All other warning mechanisms
continue unchanged. Sounder operation changes from continuous to 1 second ON: 15 seconds OFF. New
Alarm events cause the sounder to revert to continuous operation.
SOUNDER SILENCE (Operator Code required). Acts only on the internal sounder. The Sounder is switched off until one or more
new Alarm events.
RESET (Operator Code required). Clears down all latched Alarms and Faults. Current Alarms or Faults will remain.
ISOLATE (Operator Code required). Used when diagnosing faults, testing new installations etc. All fault relays are
disabled, so that Alarm and/or Fault conditions will not be reported back to the Host Panel. The ISOLATE
button toggles the Unit between ISOLATED and NORMAL operation, as shown by the ISOLATED indicator, but
see note below.
Note 1: When the OPERATOR CODE is entered (default = 0), thereby enabling SOUNDER SILENCE, RESET and ISOLATE, the unit is placed
in the UNLOCK state, as shown by the flashing UNLOCK indicator. To reduce the possibility of leaving the unit in this condition, GENERAL
FAULT is also shown. If the unit is isolated, then returned to the Normal, LOCKED state (by pressing MAIN MENU) the Operator will need
to re-enter OPERATOR CODE in order to cancel the ISOLATED state.
Note 2: If the unit is set for battery backup and the mains supply fails (or is removed) the displays will extinguish in order to conserve
battery power. See note 2 on following page.
TEST Successive presses of the TEST button show first the Date; then Time; then LED TEST (All LED segments
illuminated); then back to normal display.
