Alarm Conditions
ALARM
When the system detects an alarm condition, the alarm LED activates (ON – flashing) and the
local panel buzzer activates in a specific pattern to indicate an alarm condition. Programmed
system outputs, including audible and visual notification appliances, relays activate, and the
LCD display indicates the zone or point initiating the alarm.
Upon receipt of an alarm, building occupants should proceed in accordance with the
established emergency response plan. System responders should assure that all personnel
are accounted for and notify the Fire Department.
Operating the Acknowledge/Buzzer Silence button will silence the local panel buzzer and
change the LED alarm indicator from flashing to steady. The LCD display will indicate that the
active events have been acknowledged.
The Silence/Unsilence button in US (Signal Silence / Unsilence button in Canada) toggles
between silence and unsilence. Press the button to silence the audible and/or visual
notification appliances (where permitted by the codes and control panel programming). The
notification appliances will be de-activated, and the Silenced LED in US (Signal Silence LED in
Canada) will be off. Press the button again to unsilence the previously silenced notification
appliances.
POSITIVE Alarm Sequence (PAS) (not supported under ULC standard)
Activation of an initiating device in an input group programmed for PAS activates the Alarm
LED, LCD display, and the local panel buzzer. System and user-programmed outputs do not
activate immediately.
Operation of the Acknowledge/Buzzer Silence button within 15 seconds of the activation of the
initiating devices will delay activation of system and user-programmed outputs between 60 and
180 seconds (selected during system configuration) for the purpose of investigating the alarm.
If the Acknowledge/Buzzer Silence button is not operated within 15 seconds, the system and
user-programmed outputs activate at the expiration of the 15 second delay.
If the initiating device and the panel are reset before the programmed delay expires, the alarm
sequence is aborted.
During the investigation period, an alarm condition on a detector programmed for direct alarm
response (such as the key switch on a manual station) will override the programmed delay and
activate the additional user-programmed outputs immediately. User can configure Manned
status of FACP to enable/disable PAS feature. FACP will not perform PAS feature in
