R-Series Remote Annunciators and Expanders Installation and Operation Guide

Reading LCD displays

In addition to the system status LEDs, two annunciator models include an LCD
display that can show the system status, event messages, or event message
details. The display can also be used to enter a password that enables the
common control buttons.

System Normal screen

The LCD display shows the System Normal screen when the control panel is in
the normal (quiescent) state.

(1) Time and date: The system time in 24-hour format and the system date in MM/DD/YY or

DD/MM/YY format, depending on the market place.

(2) Banner lines:

Your facility name (if programmed) and the message “System is Normal.”

Event Message screen

The LCD display shows the Event Message screen when the control panel
enters the alarm, supervisory, monitor, trouble, disablement, or test state. Use
the Up and Down cursor buttons to scroll through the messages in the queue.

(1) Time and points: The system time in 24-hour format, the number of active points (Annn), and

the number of disabled points (Dnnn) currently in the system.

(2) Event status: The event number (NNN), the event type (SSSSSSSSSS), and the event status

(RRR). The event number is the position of the event in the queue. The event type is alarm,
supervisory, trouble, or monitor. The event status is “Act” for active, or “Rst” for restored.

(3) Event message: The first and second lines of the event message.
