Fire Alarm Event Operation of the Control Panel
2.1.2 Acknowledging an Event
When the panel detects an off-normal event and the information is displayed on-screen, use the
SILENCE BUZZER key to respond to new alarm or fault signals. When this key is pressed, the
control panel does the following:
• It silences the piezo sounder on the panel if it is enabled
• It transfers the event to the history buffer
• If the panel is networked, it will send a network message.
Alarms and all types of off-normal events are block acknowledged: these events are acknowledged
all at the same time, with a single stroke to the SILENCE BUZZER key.
2.2 Fire Alarm Event
2.2.1 How the Control Panel Indicates a Fire Alarm
When an initiating device (detector or monitor module) activates, the control panel does the follow-
ing:
• Produces a steady audible tone (if the piezo is enabled)
• Activates the System Alarm relays
• Illuminates the
FIRE LED
• Displays the
FIRE ALARM Events List with the first fire alarm in the top section of the display
containing a Type Code that indicates the type of device that activated the fire alarm, and other
information specific to the device. The message occupies the second and third lines of the
screen, replacing the System Normal message as shown in Figure 2.2 below. Refer to “Point
Events Format” on page 6 for a full description of each message field
• Sends an Alarm message to the History buffer and installed printer and annunciators
• Latches the control panel in alarm. (You cannot return the control panel to normal operation
until you correct the alarm condition and reset the control panel)
• Initiates any Control-By-Event actions
• Starts timers (such as Silence Inhibit, Auto Silence)
• Activates the general alarm zone (Z000)
Figure 2.2 Fire Alarm Message Display Example
NOTE: If a monitor module programmed with a WATERFLOW Type Code initiates a fire alarm, the
control panel disables the MUTE ALARM DEVICES key and the Auto Silence Timer.
