Current Level
The Current Levels report indicates the level of alarm of each analog sensor on each loop. The Current Level indicates the Current
Level and the Percentage of Alarm. The Current Level is a true analog value, a reading of approximatly 60 is a clean detector. The
Percentage of Alarm is a comparison of the level a sensor is in alarm compared to a “clean environment.” Once the Current Level
is selected, the panel will require that the user either look at all devices or one particular loop. The “A” of ALL will be flashing
and the user can scroll using the arrows to select the loop desired and then press the ENTER button.

Loop: ALL
After the loop is selected the sensor with the lowest address on the particular loop will be displayed. The display will have the
loop, the address and the type of sensor. Pressing the arrow keys scroll to the next sensor until all sensors have been viewed,
it then goes back to the beginning. If a printer is attached, the device address, type of sensor and percentage of alarm will be
displayed on the print out.

Verification Count
The Verification Count is the report that indicates the number of times that a verified device reached a level of alarm as well as
giving the device address and loop. You can select the loop or review all loops for the verified alarms that were received.
Maintenance
The last report in the Reports menu is the Maint (Maintenance) Report. The Maintenance Report indicates the sensors that have
reached a level that is beyond acceptable range and needs to be serviced or replaced. The panel will have a trouble condition when
the device is considered dirty, which is 80% obscuration over a period exceeding 24 hours. The panel will check the sensor twice
before issuing a trouble condition.
