2 Fire Alarm
As soon as a fire is detected, the control panel enters the fire alarm condition. This is indicated
both on the fire panel and the operator panel by means of visible and audible indicators.
Following each fire alarm the proper alarm devices and other outputs controlling fans, doors
etc. will be activated and the corresponding indicator on the fire panel will be lit. The fire
indicator will flash and the zone and detector indicators will show which zone and detector
are in alarm. The buzzer will sound intermittently. The MULTIPLE ALARM INDICATORS will flash if
there are more than one zone in alarm. In this case, the location of the alarms can be viewed
by pressing the MULTIPLE ALARM BUTTON.

The following functions will be found under the top-level menu called MANAGEMENT. The main
functions under this menu are making disconnections and getting information about units.
There are two kinds of disconnections: normal and periodic. Normal disconnections are either
permanent or for a limited period of time. Periodic disconnections are scheduled to take place
regularly at known times for a known period of time. There can at most be ten schedules
stored at the same time. These are displayed in the Schedule List, see further 8.1.2, Schedule
