Simplex 4100U User Manual

2-1
An alarm condition occurs when an initiating device (such as a manual pull station, smoke
detector, etc.) activates. The 4100 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 4100 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.
