Document: LT0344 Vigilant MX1 Operator Manual
Issue 2.4 8 August 2017 Page 2-1
An alarm condition occurs when a fire detection device (such as a smoke
detector or manual call point) activates.
MX1 indicates the presence of the alarm condition by illuminating the
general FIRE indicator and zone indicators on the zone index, through
messages on the LCD, and (generally) by activating the building’s alarm
devices and alarm routing output to the fire brigade.
This chapter describes how MX1 displays alarms and how to use the
keypad to investigate and manage alarm conditions.
The alarms can be viewed on the LCD at Access Level 1. To reset or
disable alarms will require Access Level 2. See “Operator Access
Levels”, page 1-11, for more information.
Alarms from other sources, such as sprinkler systems, may be shown on
MX1. Refer to “Alarms From Other Sources” on page 2-5 for details.
In some installations smoke detector alarms may be programmed for
local annunciation only. This is called residential mode. Refer to page 2-
6 for further information.
Refer to the page number listed in this table for information on a specific
