Operation of the Control Panel Pre-alarm Event
When an unacknowledged event with a higher priority exists, the control panel retains indications
of the higher priority event (the message, lit LED, audible tone, etc.) while flashing the
PRE-ALARM
LED and sending a Pre-alarm message to the History buffer, installed printer and annunciators.
The Pre-alarm screen display is the same for both alert and action conditions. Following is a sample
screen for a Pre-alarm message.
