and detectors), if required, in accordance with the instructions provided with each device.
l

HOW TO OPERATE THE PANEL WHEN WATER IS FLOWING IN THE SPRINKLER SYSTEM (OPTIONAL)
When water is flowing in the sprinkler system, the following indications exist:
l
The sprinkler ALARM (ZONE 3) red indicator is flashing.
l
The notification appliances are operating.
After the fire has been extinguished and the water to the sprinkler system has been shut off, the following indications
exist:
l
The sprinkler ALARM (ZONE 3) red indicator is on steady.
l
The tamper switch ALARM (ZONE 4) red indicator is on steady (indicating that the water to the sprinkler system
has been shut off).
l
The notification appliances are still operating.
l
The tone device is sounding a slow pulse (indicating that the water to the sprinkler system has been shut off).
If the water to the sprinkler system has been shut off, proceed as follows:
l
At the panel, press the ACK switch (Fig. 27) notification appliances are silenced, the sprinkler ALARM (ZONE 3)
red indicator turns off, the tone device continues to sound a slow pulse, and the tamper switch ALARM (ZONE 4)
indicator remains on).
Note: Tone device cannot be silenced when water to the sprinkler system has been shut off.
l
Restore or replace sprinkler heads in accordance with the instructions provided with the devices.
l
Restore water to sprinkler system in accordance with the instructions provided with the sprinkler system (this
causes the tamper switch ALARM (ZONE 4) indicator to flash and the tone device to pulse rapidly).
l
Press the RESET switch (Fig. 27) until LEDs illuminate (system returns to its normal condition).
Note: Until the sprinkler system is fully recharged, waterflow may be detected by the panel and the fire alarm
system may go into alarm again. Therefore, you may have to repeat this procedure several times while
recharging the sprinkler system.
