4.0 Main Display Buttons
4.1 SYSTEM RESET Button
4.2 SIGNAL SILENCE Button
4.3 FIRE DRILL Button
4.4 AUTOMATIC ALARM SIGNAL CANCEL Button (or ALM/SUP/
TBL/BLDG AUDIBLE SIL button for single stage system)
4.5 GENERAL ALARM Button
The SYSTEM RESET button resets the fire alarm control panel and all circuits.
Pressing the SIGNAL SILENCE button when the panel is in alarm deactivates any
silenceable signal devices in the fire alarm system. Non-Silenceable signal devices are
unaffected. If you press the SIGNAL SILENCE button a second time, or if there is a
subsequent alarm, the signals will re-sound. If the panel has been configured with a Signal
Silence Inhibit timer, this button will not work until the timer times out. This button also
does not work if you have pressed the FIRE DRILL button.
In a two-stage system, the SIGNAL SILENCE button silences the stage 1 and stage 2
alarms.
Pressing the FIRE DRILL button will simulate a fire alarm by activating the fire alarm
signals without transmitting an alarm to the central station. To cancel the fire drill, press the
button again. If the fire alarm system goes into a real alarm while you are performing a fire
drill, this button will not turn off the signals or activate any programmed relays.
If the Panel is configured as a two-stage system, pressing the AUTOMATIC ALARM
SIGNAL CANCEL button while the Auto General Alarm timer is running (there is an alarm
in the panel, but it is still in the first stage), cancels the timer and illuminates the amber
AUTOMATIC ALARM SIGNAL CANCEL LED steadily, thereby acknowledging the alarm.
If the Panel is not configured as a two-stage system, this button becomes ALM/SUP/TBL/
BLDG AUDIBLE SIL (buzzer silence). Press ALM/SUP/TBL/BLDG AUDIBLE SIL to
silence the buzzer.
Press the GENERAL ALARM button to immediately send the panel into General Alarm or
total evacuation. It also re-activates the signals if they have been silenced during General
Alarm. The General Alarm condition remains active until the SYSTEM RESET button is
pressed.
