Operation How to Operate the Control Panel
108 AFP-200 PN 15511:H2 10/14/2002
• Sounds a pulsed tone.
• Flashes the
SYSTEM TROUBLE LED.
• Activates the trouble relay.
• Sends a trouble message (see Figure 101 for a sample message) to the History
buffer, to installed Terminal Mode LCD-80s, and to installed printers.
How the Panel Displays a Trouble
Figure 101 shows a sample trouble message for a module in trouble that appears on
LCD display during trouble operation.
Figure 101 Sample Display of a Trouble Message
For example, in Figure 101, the M37 address represents module number 37. If the
device in trouble was a detector, the “M” of address M37 is replaced with a “D”.
To Respond to a Trouble
If a trouble occurs, press the
ACKNOWLEDGE/STEP key to silence the panel sounder and
change the System Trouble LED from flashing to steady. If multiple troubles exist,
pressing the
ACKNOWLEDGE/STEP key silences all signals (block acknowledge). When
pressing the
ACKNOWLEDGE/STEP key and at least one new alarm or trouble exists in the
system, an Acknowledge message is sent to the History buffer, installed printers, and
installed Terminal Mode LCD-80s.
If the trouble clears before or after an acknowledge, the clear trouble message is sent to
the printer. Figure 102 shows an example of a clear trouble message sent to the printer:
Figure 102 Sample Clear Trouble Message
If all troubles clear and no supervisory or fire conditions exist in the system, the control
panel returns to a normal operation, and sends an “All Systems Normal” message to the
LCD display, LCD-80, History buffer, and printer. This trouble restore occurs even if
the troubles were never acknowledged (auto restore).
Pressing the
ALARM SILENCE key when only troubles exist, produces the same effect as
pressing the
ACKNOWLEDGE/STEP key. The ALARM SILENCE LED does not light unless
an alarm also exists in the system. For details on Alarm Silence, refer to “Alarm
Silence” on page 106.
Control modules report both
open and short circuit
messages for their NAC.
If multiple trouble conditions exist in the system, the LCD display and installed
Terminal Mode LCD-80 display steps through each trouble automatically at a
two-second rate. If you press the
ACKNOWLEDGE/STEP key, the LCD display stops on
the current trouble for 1 minute, then begins to automatically step through events in the
following order:
1. Alarms, in order of address.
2. Supervisory, in order of address, or security alarms.
