Abnormal  conditions  are  indicated  on  the  interface  panel  by  flashing  the  alarm,  supervisory,  or  trouble  LED  and 
sounding  the  tone-alert.  The  alphanumeric  display  provides  information  as  to  the  point  status  (alarm,  supervisory, 
and  trouble),  type  of  alarm  (smoke  detector,  pull  station  etc.),  number  of  abnormal  conditions  in the  system,  and  a 
custom  label.  Alarm,  supervisory,  and  trouble  conditions  each  have  their  respective  acknowledge  key.  Pressing  the 
appropriate  acknowledge  key  will  silence  the  tone-alert.  However,  the  LED  indicating  the  abnormal  condition 
remains  illuminated  until  all  initiating  devices  are  restored  to  normal.

If your  system  is configured  with  the  CRT  or  printer  option,  point  status  is also  displayed  on these  devices.  The  CRT 
option  controls  various  system  functions.  It can  acknowledge  system  status  changes,  silence  alarm  signals,  and 
perform  system  reset  procedures. 
When  an  initiating  device  (monitor  point)  senses  a  Fire  Alarm  Condition  (heat,  smoke,  manual  activation,  etc.), 
notification  appliances  (signals)  and  the  tone-alert  sounds,  and  the  FIRE  ALARM  LED  turns  ON  and  flashes, 
indicating  that  a  Fire  Alarm  condition  is present.  In addition,  depending  on  the  nature  of  the  alarm  condition,  relays 
trip,  the  city  circuit  activates,  and  various  programmed  events  occur.  The  tone-alert  continues  sounding  until  the 
alarm  is acknowledged.
