of the first alarm) is configurable via the Programmer (disabled by default). If
this option has been programmed for your panel, the Operator Interface Panel
shows the first (oldest) alarm whenever a single or multiple alarm conditions is
reported. The panel LCD display displays the first alarm instead of the “alarm
