ALARMS

HOW THE SYSTEM ANNUNCIATES FIRE ALARMS

When a fire is detected, the System causes the ALARM LED on the panels to flash, the System's internal audible to sound, the AUD SIL LED to flash, and the alphanumeric display on the panels alternate in a sequence among the three messages shown below.

This example assumes that two fire alarms were received (See the explanations below).

Message 1 :

	1-001 [custom message] 
	  002 [device type] IN ALR

Message 2 :

	1-001 [custom message] 
	002 [time/date] IN ALR

Message 3:

	ALARMS=002 	SUPERVISORIES=000 
	TROUBLES=000 	SECURITIES=000

In addition, the System responds to alarms with programmed output functions such as other audible signals.
In the messages above :

1-001 represents the address of the device reporting the alarm. NOTE: On the display, not all leading zeros are shown. The leading zeros are not shown on the printout.
002 in the first message tells you that this is the second (and the most recent) of two alarms received.
status information in the third message reports the total of alarms, supervisories, troubles, and security conditions.

The printer prints a message from two to four lines long similar to the following :

	ALARM 1-1 (time, month, date, year) 
	#1 [custom message], [device type]

In the above printed message :

ALARM indicates that the type of occurrence is a fire alarm
1-1 is the device address
#1 is the number of the alarm in the list of fire alarms
[custom message] is a custom message entered when the system was initially programmed
[device type] is the type of device which reported the alarm

VIEWING THE LIST OF ALARMS

To see the alarm list when there is more than one alarm, press NEXT on the panel (the System displays the most recent alarm first).

HOW TO BLOCK ACKNOWLEDGE A FIRE ALARM

Note the specific location of the alarm(s) by using the procedures described above.
Unlock and open the door.
Press ALARM ACK to acknowledge all alarms. The System displays the following message :
```
	ALL ALARMS ACKNOWLEDGED
```

The printer prints the following message :

	ACK ALARM (time, month, date, year) 
	ALL ALARMS ACKNOWLEDGED

If you press ALARM ACK again, the System displays:
```
	ALL ALARMS ACKNOWLEDGED
```

The ALARM LED glows steadily to indicate that all alarms are acknowledged.
If there are no supervisories, troubles, or security conditions in the System, the internal audible goes silent; if any of those conditions still exist, the internal audible pulses.

HOW TO INDIVIDUALLY ACKNOWLEDGE A FIRE ALARM

Press ALARM ACK. The System acknowledges the alarm displayed and then displays the next unacknowledged alarm.
The printer prints an alarm acknowledgement message similar to the following:
```
	ACK ALARM 1-5 (time , month , date , year) 
	#2 [custom message], [device type] 
```
Note that the acknowledgement message includes the term ACK to indicate this alarm was acknowledged.
Continue acknowledging alarms as explained above until the System displays the following message :
```
	ALL ALARMS ACKNOWLEDGED. 
```
The ALARM LED glows steadily to indicate that all alarms are acknowledged.
If there are no Supervisories, Troubles, or Security conditions still in the System, the internal audible goes silent; if any of those conditions still exist, the internal audible pulses.

The printer prints a message similar to the following :

	ACK ALARM ( time , month , date , year ) 
	ALL ALARMS ACKNOWLEDGED

SILENCING THE SYSTEM

Press AUD SIL after all alarms are acknowledged. The System displays the following message:

	AUDIBLES SILENCED

Pressing AUD SIL a second time causes the internal audible and the System to unsilence and display the message :

	AUDIBLES UNSILENCED

Pressing AUD SIL alternately silences and unsilences the System. The printer prints a message similar to the following :

	AUD SILENCED/UNSIL (time, month, date, year)
	AUDIBLES SILENCED

SUPERVISORIES

Note : All TAMPER SWITCHES report operation as "Supervisory Trouble"

HOW THE SYSTEM ANNUNCIATES SUPERVISORIES

When a supervisory is detected, the System causes the SUPERVISORY LED on the panel to flash, the Systems internal audible to sound, and the alphanumeric display on the Panel to alternate in a sequence among the three messages shown below. This example assumes that two supervisories were received (See the explanations below).

Message 1:

 	1-001 [custom message] 
	  002 [device type] IN SUP

Message 2:

 	1-001[custom message] 
	002 [time/date] IN SUP

Message 3:

	ALARMS=000 	SUPERVISORIES=002 
	TROUBLES=000 	SECURITIES=000

In addition, the System responds to supervisories, with programmed output functions such as other audible signals.

In the messages above :

1-001 represents the address of the device reporting the supervisory.
002 in the first message tells you that this is the second (and the most recent) of two supervisories received.
status information in the third message reports the total of alarms, supervisories, troubles, and security conditions.

The printer prints a message from two to four lines long similar to the following :

	SUPERV 1-1 (time, month, date, year) 
	#1 [custom message], [device type]

In the above printed message :

SUPERV indicates that the type of occurrence is a supervisory
1-1 is the device address
#1 is the number of the supervisory in the list of supervisories
[custom message] is a custom message entered when the system was initially programmed
[device type] is the type of device which reported the supervisory.
