Overview
How the 4010ES
Indicates the
Presence of a
Trouble
When a trouble condition is detected by the 4010ES, the panel does the following to indicate the
presence of the trouble condition.
• In the Warnings group, the yellow TROUBLE LED flashes.
• Tone-alert (piezo buzzer) sounds steady.
• Trouble LEDs on remote annunciators may illuminate.
• The alphanumeric display on the interface panel indicates trouble condition, as shown below:

What Acknowledge
Does
The first step in managing a trouble condition is to acknowledge the trouble. Acknowledging a
trouble does two important things:
• It records the time and date at which you observed the presence of the trouble and stores that
information in the system’s historical log.
• When you press the acknowledge key, the system displays specific data on the location of the
trouble.
It is important to understand that the 4010ES can be configured with either Global or Individual
Acknowledge. These options function as follows:
Global Versus
Individual
Acknowledge
• Global Acknowledge. When global acknowledge is enabled, one press of the TROUBLE
ACK key acknowledges every point currently reporting a trouble.
• Individual Acknowledge. If individual acknowledge is enabled, the TROUBLE ACK key
must be pressed to individually acknowledge each trouble. Individual acknowledge must be
selected if the panel is providing proprietary receiving service in accordance with NFPA72.
The TROUBLE ACK key, which is used to acknowledge troubles (either globally or individually), is
located just beneath the TROUBLE LED. Refer to Figure 3-1. If the TROUBLE ACK key is
passcode protected (by default, it is not), you cannot use this key to acknowledge troubles unless you
have the required passcode. Refer to “Logging In and Out of the System” in Chapter 6 for information
on how to do this.
