functioning unless the panel is programmed for Receive Mode. The SYSTEM RESET key will not
function if the programmable Silence Inhibit Timer is running.
The System Reset key will not immediately silence active outputs. If the Control-by-event programming
conditions for the output are not met after reset, the output will deactivate. (Typically 30 seconds local,
60 seconds network.)
If both Fire and Mass Notification events exist on the fire panel at the same time, a second System Reset

the AFP-3030 Programming Manual.
