A green LED for each input signal confirms normal operation. If any of the sig-
nals being monitored goes into an alarm condition the following occurs:
• Displays a message telling the user which input is in alarm condition.
• Displays a description of the alarm condition.
• Audible alarm sounds.
• Red LED lights only when a source input has an alarm condition.
When the battery needs to be changed,
Real Time clock battery low
displays on
the Master Alarm, but the buzzer does not sound. The message logs into the Error
Log when the CheckSum Test is run. This is a test that the Master Alarm runs
automatically every 24 hours.
If the Network Communications Board is installed in the Area Alarm, it commu-
nicates with the Master Alarm through the facility’s Ethernet. In this case, an
Area Alarm condition is indicated at both the Master Alarm and the Area Alarm
and retained in their respective event logs. These event logs are available in the
alarm’s memory for viewing or downloading to a computer file. The file can then
be used to track data or troubleshoot.
The
Silence key
silences the audible alarm. You can set the time between the
audible
alarms to resound never, every 30 minutes, every 60 minutes, every 90
minutes, or every 120 minutes. The most recent alarm lights its corresponding
red LED, while any of the previously acknowledged alarms’ LEDs remain steadi-
ly lit.
NOTE:
To comply with the requirements of the City of New York Department of
Buildings; Materials and Equipment Acceptance Division (M.E.A.), do not set
the alarm return time to “never.” Set the alarm to return every 30 minutes.
Each new alarm condition resounds the audible alarm even if the alarm has been
silenced for a previous condition. When multiple alarms occur, the error mes-
sages scroll on the Master Alarm’s display. If more than 30 alarms are occurring
simultaneously, the Master Alarm displays “Additional Remote Alarms Exist.”
The
Test key
starts a self-test diagnostic routine.
• All of the LEDs light.
• The characters on the display illuminate.
• The alarm sounds.
• The configured alarm points scroll on the display. If the alarm message is a
custom message, the word
custom
displays instead of the message.
