SECTION 2
ALARM CONDITIONS
INTRODUCTION
CAUTION
FOLLOW LOCAL OPERATING PROCEDURES WHEN INVESTIGATING ALARM CONDITIONS.
NOTE: Refer to Figure 2 for locations of interface panel LEDs and keys.
When a System Alarm Condition is detected by the 4100, the condition is indicated by the following:
• Red “SYSTEM ALARM” LED is flashing
• Tone-alert is pulsing
• LEDs on annunciators may illuminate
• The alphanumeric display on the interface panel indicates an alarm condition, as shown below.
The interface panel has two red LEDs which are used to indicate alarm conditions. When a Fire Alarm or a Priority
2 Alarm Condition occurs, the appropriate red LED flashes, the tone-alert pulses, and an alarm message appears
on the alphanumeric display. When the appropriate <ALARM ACK> key is pressed, the red LED stops flashing and
glows steady, and the tone-alert silences. When the <ALARM SILENCE> key is pressed, the system signals are
silenced. When the alarm condition is cleared, the red LED turns off.
