Supervisory Conditions
Introduction A Supervisory condition indicates that
• some part of the building’s fire protection system is disabled. An example of this is a sprinkler
tamper switch being activated due to a fire sprinkler control valve being closed.
• a lower priority initiating device (such as a duct smoke detector) has been triggered.
Depending on the system design, a Supervisory point can be:
• Latching. The panel must be reset to clear the Supervisory condition.
• Non-latching. The indicators (LED, buzzer, etc.) turn off automatically when the condition
clears.
This chapter describes using the Operator Interface Panel keys to investigate the details of the
supervisory condition.
