9.4.2 SIGNAL SILENCE Button
Press the SIGNAL SILENCE button when the panel is in alarm to turn on the SIGNAL
SILENCE LED and deactivate any Silenceable Indicating Circuits. Non-Silenceable Circuits
are unaffected. Signals resound if there is a subsequent alarm. Pressing SIGNAL SILENCE
again resounds all silenceable signals. This button does not function when the signal silence
inhibit timer is running (see section 11.3 on page 64). It also does not function if the indicating
circuits are active as the result of a fire drill.
In a two-stage system, the SIGNAL SILENCE button silences the stage 1 and stage 2 alarms.
9.4.3 FIRE DRILL Button
The FIRE DRILL button activates all Non-Disconnected Indicating Circuits, but does not
transmit any Alarms via the City Tie, Common Alarm Relay or Auxiliary Alarm Relay. Fire Drill
activates the signals in the evacuation code programmed. For example in the Temporal Code,
the signals pulse on for 0.5 seconds, off for 0.5 seconds in rounds of 3 and then pause for 1.5
seconds and repeat.
Fire Drill is canceled by pressing the button again, or if the Panel goes into a real alarm.
9.4.4 AUTOMATIC ALARM SIGNAL CANCEL (Acknowledge) Button (or ALM/
SUP/TBL/BLDG AUDIBLE SIL Button for single stage systems)
If the Panel is configured as a two-stage system, pressing the AUTOMATIC ALARM SIGNAL
CANCEL (Acknowledge) 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 this button to silence the buzzer.
9.4.5 GENERAL ALARM Button
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.
9.4.6 AUXILIARY DISCONNECT Button
Press the AUXILIARY DISCONNECT button to disconnect the Auxiliary Alarm Relay. The
Common Alarm Relay, the Common Supervisory relay and all correlated alarm relays may be
disconnected as selected through configuration (see section 11.0 on page 60). Pressing the
AUXILIARY DISCONNECT button also causes the COMMON TROUBLE LED to illuminate
steadily, the common trouble relay to send a trouble message and the buzzer to flash at the
trouble flash rate. Pressing the AUXILIARY DISCONNECT button causes the system to return
to normal.
