ZP2-A Series Operation Manual
Manually starting sounders
To manually start the sounders when the control panel is not in alarm, press the
Sounder Start/Stop button.
Note:
Availability of this feature is subject to previous configuration. Contact your
installation or maintenance contractor to confirm your configuration details.
Stopping sounders or restarting stopped sounders
To stop the sounders, press the Sounder Start/Stop button. To restart stopped
sounders, press the button again.
A steady Sounder Start/Stop LED indicates that the sounders are active
(sounding). A flashing Sounder Start/Stop LED indicates that a configured
sounder delay is counting down and that sounders can be silenced (before
activation) by pressing the Sounder Start/Stop button.
Sounder functionality is subject to previous configuration and, depending on what
your installation or maintenance contractor has selected, silenced sounders may
restart automatically if another alarm event is detected.
Contact your installation or maintenance contractor to confirm all configuration
details for your site.
If the Sounder Start/Stop button is disabled
To prevent the immediate silencing of sounders when an alarm is first reported,
the Sounder Start/Stop button may be temporarily disabled for a preconfigured
period of time when a configured sounder delay is counting down. The default
disable time for the Sounders Start/Stop button is 60 seconds.
The disable time starts to count down when the control panel enters alarm status
and the configured sounder delay starts.
During the configured disable time the Sounder Start/Stop LED is off and the
sounders cannot be silenced (before activation) by pressing the Sounder
Start/Stop button.
In the time between the end of the configured disable time and the end of the
configured sounder delay (when the Sounder Start/Stop LED is flashing),
pressing the Sounder Start/Stop button silences sounders (before activation).
A configured sounder delay may still be cancelled while the delay is running (and
sounders activated) by pressing the Sounder Delay button.
