When an alarms occurs, the FIP takes over the keypad and LCD to display the alarm. The
keys that can be used are limited to those within the Fire Fighters Control and Indicating
Facility (FFCIF), the "PREV" key and the "CLEAR" key. The FFCIF is the area of the
keypad within the red border, as shown in Figure 5.1.

EXAMPLE FIRE FIGHTER'S CONTROL & INDICATING FACILITY ALARM DISPLAY
The FFCIF is programmed to operate in one of two modes:
(i) FFCIF Type 3 Mode - Each zone alarm is displayed on the LCD, and must be
individually acknowledged by pressing the ACK key when the alarm is displayed. All
acknowledged alarms can be reset or isolated by pressing the RESET and ISOLATE
keys respectively.
All alarms must be acknowledged before the FFCIF can be exited.
(ii) FFCIF Type 2 Mode - All zone alarms are silenced/acknowledged, reset and isolated
using common controls.
When an alarm occurs the LCD displays a screen indicating that alarms have
occurred and that they can be viewed by pressing RECALL.
From this screen all alarms can be silenced/acknowledged by pressing "ACK", reset
by pressing "RESET" or isolated by pressing "ISOLATE". If the alarms are recalled
then the FFCIF enters Type 3 Mode and the ISOLATE and RESET keys only operate
on individually acknowledged alarms. Pressing RECALL reverts the LCD display to
the Type 2 screen.
