SYSTEM RESET KEY
The <SYSTEM RESET> key is used to return the system to its normal state after an alarm condition has been
cleared. When the <SYSTEM RESET> key is pushed, it causes any latched circuits to reset automatically. Also reset
are initiating devices, relays (including the city relay), notification appliances, and all LEDs and indicators which are
programmed to reset with the <SYSTEM RESET> key. The message “SYSTEM RESET IN PROGRESS” displays
when the <SYSTEM RESET> key is pressed. When the alarm condition has reset, the SYSTEM ALARM LED

If a zone stays in alarm during the reset period, the message, “SYSTEM RESET IN PROGRESS”, is followed by the
message shown below.
When the “SYSTEM RESET ABORTED” message displays, the system remains in an alarm state. The display

of alarms p

ong with a
prompt to us
e the <ALARM

review the points. These points do not require acknowledgment. The SYSTEM ALARM LED remains ON to indicate
that a fire alarm device is still in an alarm condition.
If the system does not reset, and the display still shows an alarm although no alarm condition exists, read the
alphanumeric display on the interface panel to determine the type of device and the zone number in alarm. Follow
local procedures to investigate the area of the building with the alarm. Look for devices still in alarm (pull stations,
smoke detectors, etc.). Most devices latch until they are reset, either by the system or manually.
IF THE ALARM POINT DOES NOT RESET
If a device does not reset, you may choose to perform the Disable Procedure given in the following paragraphs.
HOW TO DISABLE A POINT
CAUTION
DISABLING A POINT CAUSES THAT POINT TO NOT REPORT ALARM CONDITIONS OR OTHER
STATUS CHANGES. A POINT SHOULD NOT BE DISABLED UNLESS IT IS CLEARLY UNDERSTOOD
THAT FIRE DETECTION OR SECURITY FOR THE AREA OF THE BUILDING COVERED BY THE POINT
WILL BE LOST. APPROPRIATE STEPS MUST BE TAKEN TO PROVIDE ALTERNATE MEANS OF
PROTECTION FOR THAT AREA OF THE BUILDING WHILE THE POINT IS DISABLED.
If a device does not reset, you may disconnect the device/point causing the alarm condition. However, this point must
first be
identified. P
ress t
he <ALAR
M ACK> key
, and
read the alp
hanume
ric display
on the int
erface pa
nel. Then
disable the identified alarm point with the <DISABLE> key. If the <DISABLE> key is passcode protected, perform
the Log In Procedure before performing the Disable Procedure.
The <DISABLE> key press removes power to any displayed monitor point. Thus, disabling a point causes a trouble
condition on the individual zone.
