5.4 RESET ACKNOWLEDGED ZONES IN ALARM
5.4.1 FUNCTION
In FFCIF mode, pressing the "RESET" key performs the following:
(a) RESETS all acknowledged local zone(s).
(b) Silences the internal sounder.
(c) Aborts Zone Test on any acknowledged local zone under test.
(d) If no more un-isolated alarms exist, the bells and ancillary relays and Brigade
Alarm relay will turn OFF, if they were ON.
(e) The acknowledged zone alarms are removed from the alarm list.
(f) For a network system:
(i) For local zones, a return to normal indication may be sent to other
network devices to allow the alarm to be removed from their FFCIF list.
(ii) For remote zones, depending on programming, a reset command may be
sent to the originator of the alarm. The alarm remains in the FFCIF list of
the local panel until the originator of the alarm indicates the alarm has
been reset.
5.4.2 OPERATING SEQUENCE
Press "RESET" key once:
- LCD displays "Resetting all acknowledged alarms".
- All acknowledged zones in the alarm list will be reset.
- Where fitted, all acknowledged (steady) red alarm LED indicators
will be turned OFF.
- The Brigade alarm relay will de-energise if there are no more
unisolated zones in alarm.
- Local Bells, if on, will be silenced if no more un-isolated zones are
in alarm.
- The internal sounder will be silenced.
NOTES:
(a) If the alarm condition on the zone circuits has not been removed, then the zone
alarm indicators and Local Bells will be re-activated (if not isolated), and a new
zone alarm will be put into the alarm list.
(b) Pressing "RESET" in the FFCIF mode has no effect on isolated zones or zones in
Auto-Reset mode, as they are unlikely to be in the alarm list.
(c) If a fault condition had been latched in a zone that also had an alarm condition,
FFCIF Reset will not clear the fault.
To Reset the fault condition, the Operator must first exit FFCIF mode. (Refer to
Sections 5.7 and 7.3).
