2-1
An alarm condition occurs when an initiating device (such as a manual pull station, smoke
detector, etc.) activates. The FACP indicates the presence of the alarm condition through
messages it displays on the alphanumeric display, by flashing the ALARM indicator, and by
activating the building’s notification appliances (horns and strobes).
Note: An alarm condition is a serious event, indicating the possibility of fire danger. In
addition to using the operator interface panel to investigate and manage alarm
conditions as described in this chapter, you should also be aware of any facility-specific
procedures that you may be required to follow.
