Table 3-2. Operator Control Keys and Functions
BUTTON FUNCTION
<ACKNOWLEDGE> The <ACKNOWLEDGE> Key allows the operator to signal the ARIES System Control
Unit that a new event currently being displayed is understood. The control unit's
audible notification appliance will silence and all flashing Pre-Alarm, Alarm,
Supervisory, or Trouble LEDs will light steadily when all active events have been
acknowledged.
<SILENCE> Pressing the <SILENCE> Key after all current alarm events have been
acknowledged shuts off any active, silenceable control-unit-based or signaling-line-
circuit-based outputs, such as notification-appliance circuits or control modules.
Note: There is a 10-second buffer period during which subsequent presses of the
<SILENCE> Key are intentionally ignored. A subsequent key press will only be
acted upon after at least 10 seconds have elapsed since the previous key press.
<RESET> The <RESET> Key restores the ARIES System to Normal Mode after all alarm
system events have been acknowledged and have ceased reporting alarm
conditions.
<SCROLL> The <SCROLL> Key allows the operator to view all currently-active events by time
of occurrence. Also used to navigate through the menu options.
NUMERIC KEYPAD (0-9) Used to enter passwords, navigate through the menu options, and specify numeric
operating data.
<BACKSPACE> Used to exit the menu system and to delete incorrect entries.
<ENTER> Used as the <ENTER> Key for the menu system.
