Operation of the Control Panel Fire Alarm Event
Figure 2.2 Fire Alarm Message Display Example
2.2.2 How to Respond to a Fire Alarm
If the control panel indicates a fire alarm, the operator can do the following:
• To silence the panel sounder:
Press the ACKNOWLEDGE soft key. The local sounder will silence and the
FIRE ALARM LED
will change from flashing to steady. The control panel will send an acknowledge message to
the panel display, history buffer, installed printers and annunciators.
• To silence any activated outputs that are programmed as silenceable:
Press the SIGNAL SILENCE soft key.
SIGNALS SILENCED LED light steady. The control panel
sends a Signal Silenced message to the History buffer, installed printers and annunciators.
1. Check the Alarm message for its location and type. Press the MORE INFORMATION soft key
to display the MORE INFORMATION screen and view additional information on the device and
possibly preprogrammed text for recommended action. (Refer to Figure 1.8 on page 19 for an
example of the this screen and an explanation of its fields.)
2. Correct the condition causing the alarm.
3. When the alarm condition is corrected, press the SYSTEM RESET soft key to return the control
panel to normal operation (indicated by the “System Normal” message). The control panel
sends a “System Normal” message to the panel display, History buffer and installed printer.
If both fire and mass notification events are present on the fire panel at the same time, a second
System Reset will need to be performed to reset the fire panel. The panel will display
MN
SYSTEM RESET or FIRE SYSTEM RESET, depending on which event has priority. Refer to the
NFS2-3030 Programming Manual for event priority programming information.
The soft key PROGRAM/ALTER STATUS is also displayed on this screen. A password is required
to enter these menus, which are described in the NFS2-3030 Programming Manual.
2.2.3 Interpreting Type ID Codes
The Type ID code that displays in the fire alarm message is related to the type and function of the
point that initiates the fire alarm. For example, a monitor module with a
PULL STATION Type ID
code means that the monitor module connects to a manual pull station. If the Type ID code is unfa-
miliar, refer to Appendix A, “Software Type ID Codes”, on page 78. This appendix is an alphabeti-
cal list of Type ID codes with an explanation of each.
