Vigilant MX1-Au Operator Manual Document: LT0439
Page 23 October 2018 Issue 1.73
AlarmTst – the zone is undergoing an alarm test.
AlTstFail – there has been an alarm test run on the zone that
failed. This state will clear after the next successful alarm test.
FltTest – the zone is undergoing a fault test.
For accessing a zone on another MX1 panel in a networked system, the
SID of the other panel is multiplied by 1000 and added to the zone
number. For example, to access zone 37 on an MX1 panel with a SID of
9 you would use the zone number 9037.
In general, this manual uses terminology taken from AS 7240.1 and
AS 7240.2. This table matches these with other common industry
terminology.

the smoke detector to confirm smoke is still present.
An operator action to record the indicated zone alarm has been seen,
for example, when handling AIF alarms.
This is the state of a point which is not in its "normal" or idle condition,
nor in fault. Examples are: a detector in alarm, a relay or LED turned
on, an input switch being closed.
The devices used to warn the occupants within the protected
premises of an alarm. These include sounders, hooters, sirens,
occupant warning systems with speech, and may also include visual
indicating devices such as beacons or strobe lights.
The Alarm List is the list of current alarm conditions. When the Alarm
List is shown (as in the Quick Reference at the front of this manual)
