Indicators and Controls
10.3.5 Lamp Test Button
Activation of the Lamp Test button turns all front panel Indicators on steady in whichever
colour they would normally be activated and turns the buzzer on steady. If Lamp Test is active
for more than 10 seconds, Common Trouble is activated.

• Resets all Latching, Trouble Conditions

10.3.7 Signal Silence Button
Activation of the Signal Silence button when the Panel is in Alarm, turns on the Signal Silence
Indicator and deactivates any Silenceable NAC Circuits. Non-Silenceable Circuits are
unaffected. Signals will re-sound upon any subsequent Alarm. This button does not function
during any configured Signal Silence Inhibit Timer period. It also does not function if the NAC
Circuits are active as the result of a Fire Drill. In a Two Stage System, if the Auto General
Alarm Timer has timed out, this Signal Silence button also performs the same function as the
General Alarm Cancel button.
10.3.8 Fire Drill Button
The Fire Drill button activates all programmed and non-Disconnected NAC Circuits, but does
not transmit any Alarms via the City Tie, or Common Alarm Relay. Fire Drill may be
programmed to operate specific NAC Circuits. Fire Drill is cancelled by pressing the button
again (toggle switch), or if the Panel goes into a real Alarm.
10.3.9 General Alarm Cancel Button (Two Stage Only)
If the Panel is not configured for Two Stage Operation, this button does nothing. If the Panel is
configured for Two Stage Operation, activation of the General Alarm Cancel (2 STAGE AUTO
CANCEL) button while the Auto General Alarm Timer is timing (there is an Alarm in the Panel,
but it is still in the First Stage), that timer is cancelled, and the General Alarm Cancel (2
STAGE AUTO CANCEL) Indicator is on steady amber.
10.3.10 General Alarm Button (Two Stage Only)
If the Panel is not configured for Two Stage Operation, this button does nothing. If the Panel is
configured for Two Stage Operation, activation of the General Alarm button immediately sends
the Panel into Second Stage - General Alarm. It will also re-activate the Signals if they have
been Silenced during General Alarm. The General Alarm condition remains active until the
Panel is reset.
