LEDs
Power: On when the panel has AC power.
Alarm: On steady (latched) when there is an active alarm event
on the IDC.
Trouble: On when there is a fault with a monitored circuit or
system component, or when a circuit is disabled.
Battery Trouble: Flashes for charger or low battery trouble.
Steady means placement trouble. Also places the panel in the
trouble state.
Signal Silenced: On steady indicates that the NAC circuit is
turned off (silenced) but the panel is still in alarm.
Ground Fault: On steady during an active ground fault. (Also
places the panel in the trouble state.)
Alarm Relay Disable: On when there is a disabled circuit. (Also
places the panel in the trouble state.)
Control buttons
Reset: Resets the panel.
Signal Silence and Drill
Alarm mode: Silences active notification appliances.
Pressing Signal Silence a second time unsilences the
NAC. The Signal Silenced LED indicates when the panel
is in alarm and operating with notification appliances
silenced. Visible appliances may or may not turn off when
Signal Silence is pressed depending on JP1/JP2 settings.
Normal mode: Activates the drill function. Turns
notification appliances on according to JP1/JP2 settings
but does not place the panel in alarm or activate the alarm
relay. Pressing Drill a second time turns off the drill
function.
Panel Silence: Silences the panel sounder during an active
trouble or alarm event.
Alarm Relay Disable: Deactivates the alarm relay and prevents
it from activating in a future alarm event. Pressing Alarm Relay
Disable places the panel in the trouble state.
Lamp test
Panel Silence and Alarm Relay Disable: Press the Panel
Silence and Alarm Relay Disable buttons simultaneously to do
a panel lamp test. This lets you verify proper operation of the
LEDs.
