7.7 Acknowledging Alarms, Troubles, and Supervisory Conditions
Table 18: Panel indications for Alarms, Troubles, and Supervisory Conditions
Condition Panel indications
Alarm Red LED, corresponding to zone or SPM in alarm, pulses. Tone-Alert sounds steady.
Trouble
Yellow LED, corresponding to zone or SPM with trouble condition, flashes. Tone-Alert pulses. After
acknowledging, the trouble LED stays ON until the trouble condition clears.
Supervisory
Yellow Supervisory LED flashes and tone-alert sounds if a sprinkler or waterpump valve is closed. The zone
location is indicated by the blinking yellow LED. After the ACK button is pressed, the LED for the affected
circuit will blink.
7.7.1 Acknowledging Alarms
Use the ACK key to acknowledge every abnormal status present in the system. For example, if there are three alarms and two troubles,
you must press the ACK key five times. The panel's tone-alert turns off when all abnormal conditions are acknowledged.
7.7.2 Silencing Alarms
Silencing an Alarm turns off the horns and strobes that warn occupants of the building to the presence of an alarm condition.
To silence an alarm, press the Alarm Silence key. The ALARM SILENCED LED turns on steady and the signals turn off. The LED remains on
until all alarms are clear and the system is reset.
7.7.3 Resetting the system
1. Restore or replace all affected devices (agent release tanks, sprinkler system components, smoke detectors, heat detectors, etc.) in
accordance with the instructions provided with each device.
2. Press the System Reset key. All outputs (NACs, RACs, and relays turn off) and zone power is dropped and restored. Any remaining
abnormal conditions reactivate the appropriate outputs.
If a release has occurred, contact the building's facilities management and your building's fire alarm sprinkler representative for
information on resetting the agent release, preaction sprinkler, or deluge sprinkler system.
Note: If an alarm is verified to be false, clearing the alarm condition and resetting the system prior to releasing the abort switch prevents
agent discharge.
7.7.4 Viewing Historical Logs and setting the Time and Date
1. Remove the plastic PCB cover.
2. Place Program Switch on the 4004R in the ON position.
3. Locate the PC within 6 feet of the 4004R FACP and connect a 733-794 serial cable to a free serial port (typically COM1) on the PC.
4. Connect the other end of the cable to the service port on the 4004R FACP. The Service port, labeled P2, is located on the top left of
the 4004R motherboard. Make sure the stripe on the cable is positioned at the bottom, as shown in the following figure.
Figure 33: Connecting the cable to the Service Port
5. Use a terminal emulation program, such as Windows HyperTerminal to establish a serial communication session with the 4004R. Set
the serial communication parameters for the PC port to which the serial cable is connected, as follows:
- 9600 baud
- no parity
