WHEN AN ALARM CONDITION OCCURS
When a fire condition is detected in a zone, the relevant red zone alarm light flashes, the red ALARM
light flashes, the alarm sounder circuits are activated (unless programmed off or delayed via
DAY/NIGHT mode) and the buzzer on the panel sounds. The LCD display will show ZONE(number)
FIRE followed by the time at which the alarm was activated.
After the appropriate fire drill has been completed, to switch off the buzzer, enter Access Level 2 and
press the SILENCE BUZZER button. The buzzer stops, the zone light and the ALARM light continue
flashing and the audible alarm circuits continue to sound (unless programmed off). When the fire
condition has been rectified, to reset the system:

In Access Level 2, press the SILENCE ALARMS button. The audible alarms stop, but the red
zone alarm light and the ALARM light stay on. If another zone alarm condition occurs, the new
red zone alarm light and the ALARM light will flash, the buzzer will sound and, unless
programmed off, audible alarms will sound and the original red zone alarm light will stay on.
Note: It is not possible to reset the panel until the SILENCE ALARMS button has been
pressed.
When all zone fire conditions have been rectified, press the RESET button.
