Understanding On-screen Messages
The LCD screen of the fire alarm control panel displays messages regarding system events. System events display
on the screen in a queue. Events in this queue are listed on the screen in order of priority: alarms are of highest
priority, followed by supervisory, trouble, and monitor conditions. If the same type of event happens more than once
(for example, two trouble conditions occur successively) they will be listed in the order that they occur first event to
the last event. Priority is from the highest to lowest, i.e. alarm, supervisory, trouble and monitor. If an alarm,
supervisory, or trouble condition occurs, their respective LED will be steady, fast flash and slow flash respectively.
Scroll through the events by using the and arrow buttons. If you need more information about a
displayed event, press .
