Indicators, Controls, and Operation
8.2 Common Controls
8.2.1 System Reset Button (White)
The System Reset button resets the fire alarm control panel and all circuits:
8.2.2 Signal Silence Button (Blue)
Pressing the Signal Silence button after the panel is in alarm turns on the Signal Silence LED
and deactivates any silenceable indicating circuits. Non-Silenceable circuits are unaffected.
Signals will re-sound upon any subsequent Alarm. This button does not function during any
configured Signal Silence Inhibit timer period. It also does not function if indicating circuits are
active as the result of a Fire Drill. In a two-stage system, the Signal Silence button silences the
stage 1 and stage 2 alarms.
8.2.3 Fire Drill Button (Orange)
The Fire Drill button activates all programmed and non-disconnected indicating circuits, but
does not transmit any Alarms via the city tie or common alarm relay. The Fire Drill button may
be programmed to operate specific indicating circuits. The Fire Drill is cancelled by pressing
the button again (toggle switch), or if the panel goes into a real Alarm.
8.2.4 Automatic Alarm Signal Cancel Button (Yellow)
If the Panel is not configured for two stage operation, this button does nothing. If the panel is
configured for two stage operation, pressing the Automatic Alarm Signal Cancel button while
the Auto General Alarm timer is timing (there is an Alarm in the panel, but it is still in the first
stage) cancels the timer and turns the Automatic Alarm Signal Cancel LED on steady amber.
8.2.5 General Alarm Button (Red)
Pressing the General Alarm button immediately sends the panel into General Alarm. It will also
re-activate the signals if they have been silenced during a General Alarm initiated through a
detection circuit. The General Alarm condition remains active until the panel is reset.
8.2.6 Auxiliary Disconnect Button (Orange)
Pressing the Auxiliary Disconnect button activates the Auxiliary Disconnect function. Pressing
the button again deactivates the function.
8.2.7 Lamp Test Button (Orange)
Pressing the Lamp Test button causes all front panel indicators to illuminate and sounds the
buzzer steadily. If Lamp Test is active for more than ten seconds, the Common Trouble LED is
activates.
