3.4 Alarm Levels
A detector may signal different levels of alarm, indicating the amount
of smoke or gas currently present. These are;
Fire Alarm Level (the highest level)
Pre Alarm Level
Whenever a detector detects a transition from one alarm level to
another (from lower level to the highest level), this event is reported to
the system as a Pre Alarm or Fire Alarm signal, which in turn will
initiate the appropriate actions.
3.5 Access Levels
All user interface controls are classified as belonging to one of the
