5.1 OPERATOR FRONT PANEL 
 
 
Figure 1.2 shows the layout of the front panel operator controls. These are described as 
follows: 
 
The Panel buzzer will sound under alarm and fault conditions until silenced during the 
response procedure. 
 
The Audible Positive Feedback Device sounds when any key on the panel is pressed 
as an indication that the keystroke has been registered. 
 
The Alarm light will illuminate when there is an alarm in any one of the zones protected 
by the system. 
 
The Fault light will illuminate when there is a fault in the system at any stage. 
 
The Isolated light will only illuminate when the Isolate button is pressed to isolate zones. 
 When any zone is isolated, it will not send any alarm to the master alarm facility and  
the isolated light will illuminate. 
 
The Bell Isolated light will illuminate when the panel door is opened.  This isolates the 
building alarm bell. 
 
The Power On light indicates that the 240 V supply is available.  If the 240 V supply 
fails, the system switches to battery supply, the Power On light turns off and the fault 
light illuminates. 
 
The  Isolated  ACF  light  (Ancillary  Control  Facility).    The  Isolated  ACF  light  will  only 
illuminate if the panel door is opened and there is no alarm present on the panel. The 
building ancillaries include the air conditioning shut downs, magnetic fire door holders, 
alarm buzzers, lights, and other outputs.  The light indicates that all the ancillary circuits 
programmed  to  be  isolated  via  the  door  switch  are  isolated  when  the  panel  door  is 
opened and there are no alarms present on the panel. 
 
The Text Window consists of two lines of text which describe the status of the system in 
four modes. 
 
Normal mode is the normal operational state of the panel.  It shows:
