Disabling and enabling devices
Disabling a device does not prevent it from activating, but it does prevent event messages
originating at the device from being displayed, printed, or reported off-premises. Devices are
typically disabled during maintenance. Remember to enable the device as soon as you have
finished working with it.
Note: Disabling the devices will override the sensor bypass.
The Reset command does not restore disabled or latched devices. Disabled devices must be
enabled and latched output devices must be unlatched before they can be restored. The Reset
command also does not restore sensor bypass devices, which must be enabled.
When a device is disabled:
• When the device you are disabling is active, a warning message displays.
• The common Disable LED turns on.
• The LCD displays an event to indicate that the device is disabled.
• The common Trouble LED flashes and the panel goes into a trouble state.
• The common Trouble relay changes state.
• The disabled and active points indicators on the LCD increment. The event is transmitted
off-premises, if programmed to do so.
• Resetting the panel has no effect on disabled devices, but removing all power from the
panel clears the disable and enables the device.
To disable or enable a device:
1. Press the Menu button and choose Control.
2. Enter a level one password.
3. Choose Enable/Disable.
4. Choose Device.
5. Choose the loop the device is on.
Note: If the panel only has one loop, the loop selection screen does not display. Go to the
next step.
6. Enter the device ID for the device that you want to disable or enable.
7. Press Enter.
8. If the device is active, acknowledge the warning message by selecting Continue to disable
the device or Cancel to exit.
The device is disabled and a message indicating that the device is disabled is displayed on
the LCD.
9. Press Cancel to return to the previous menu.
