4.3 Supervisory operation
A supervisory condition occurs when an initiating device activates. An example is a smoke detector or a heat detector that connects to an
IDC with a supervisory (SUPV) function type.
When a supervisory condition occurs, the control unit's operator interface shows the following:
• The respective zone’s yellow SUPV LED starts flashing.
• The local piezo produces a steady tone.
• Activates the general supervisory relay.
• Communicates the supervisory condition to the central station, remote station (if programmed).
• The system stores an supervisory event in the history file.
When you press the ACK key, the following actions occur:
• The respective zone’s SUPV LED illuminates steady.
• The local piezo turns off.
• The system stores an acknowledged event in the history file.
