Vigilant MX1 Operator Manual Document: LT0344
Page 2-6 8 August 2017 Issue 2.4
The MX1 may be configured for some smoke detectors to work in
residential mode (often used in permanently occupied apartments where
the occupant can take action if smoke is indicated). An alarm on such a
detector will not summon the Fire Brigade but a local alarm is given at
the detector (for example, by a sounder base) so that the occupant(s)
can investigate the situation and determine whether there is a fire.
If the situation is found to be a real fire, a general alarm can be
generated by activating a manual call point, usually in a common area. If
the detector is a combined smoke and heat multi-sensor, an alarm from
the heat sensor will generate a general alarm.
Residential mode can include annunciation of a smoke detector alarm at
a reception desk, for example.
If the situation is found to not be a real file (for example toast
overheating), the local alarm will normally be able to be cancelled by
operating a pushbutton within the local area.
