18.  LEDs for operation of smoke control components in 
1 through 11 above are also contained on the 
graphic annunciator panel and must be confirmed 
for each device. 
19.  Press the Reset button on the LCD and graphic 
annunciator panel. Verify that all devices reset and

Initial acceptance testing for a VM-NOC card, class B 
configuration 
1.  Verify that the card is properly installed on the CPU 
and secured with the nylon screw. 
2.  For smoke control panels that are networked, start 
with the network in the normal condition and use the 
status command to verify all connected cabinets are 
communicating over the network. 
3.  Disconnect the network data communications wiring 
from the cabinet with the primary LCD module. 
Verify that all the other system cabinets connected 
to the network appear in the trouble queue. 
Initial acceptance testing for a VM-NOC card, class A 
configuration 
1.  Verify that the card is properly installed on the CPU 
and secured with the nylon screw. 
2.  For smoke control panels that are networked, start 
with the network in the normal condition and use the 
status command to verify all connected cabinets are 
communicating over the network. 
3.  Disconnect the network data communications wiring 
from the cabinet with the primary LCD module. 
Verify that a Class A network data communications 
fault is annunciated. Repeat step 2 to verify that all 
connected cabinets are still communicating over the 
network. 
Initial acceptance testing for a VM-SLCXB card 
1.  Verify that the card is properly installed on the 
chassis and its mounting standoffs securely in place. 
Verify that the loop controller removable terminal 
strips are firmly seated. 
2.  Verify the wiring to all V-Series and Signature 
devices. 
3.  Map the signaling line circuit by reading the device 
data; adjusting, modifying, and accepting devices as
