3.4 OPERATION IN ALARM
3.4.1 SYSTEM RESPONSE
When a fire condition is detected, the system responds as follows:
1 The internal buzzer will sound in a continuous tone.
2 The red ‘FIRE’ LED will light.
3The SOUNDERS and NOTIFICATION STATUS ‘ACTIVATED’ red LEDs 
will light.
If the alarm is initiated by a detector, there may be a delay of from 1 to 10 
minutes before the NOTIFICATION STATUS ‘ACTIVATED’ led lights. This is 
to allow time for the alarm to be investigated and any relevant action taken 
before signalling is initiated. A Callpoint set to evacuate will initiate 
signalling immediately. Refer to Section 2.6.3.
4 For the MZX controllers, the sounders and any other configured 
outputs will be activated.
5 The LCD will display a message in the format:
The message format is as follows:
Under ‘FIRE’:
The top line shows the Zone and Point number of the
device in alarm.
The second line shows the zone description (defined at
configuration).
The third line shows the point description (defined at
configuration).
The fourth line shows the type of alarm.
