Normal Operation
The system operates in Normal mode when no alarms or troubles exist. In Normal
mode, the control panel displays a system message as follows:
Figure 3 All Systems Normal Message
In Normal mode, the control panel does the following functions at regular intervals:
• Polls all Signaling Line Circuit (SLC) devices and the four NACs to check for valid
replies, alarms, troubles, circuit integrity, and so on.
• Checks power supply troubles and batteries every 10 seconds.
• Sends a supervisory query on the LCD-80 and verifies proper response.
• Refreshes the LCD and the optional LCD-80 display and updates time.
• Scans the keypad for a System Reset or an Enter key press.
• Performs a detector automatic test operation.
• Tests system memory.
Trouble Operation
The system goes into Trouble mode when the control panel detects an electrical or
mechanical fault. With no alarms, a control panel in Trouble mode does the following:
• Produces a pulsed audible tone;
• The System Trouble LED flashes;
• The trouble relay activates (MPS-400, TB3); and
• Sends a message to the LCD display, an optional LCD-80, an optional printer, and
the history file.
