2. Using the Control Panel Overview Table 1 lists the controls and indicators and where to find information on their use: Controls/Indicators Covered in... Eight System Status Indicator LEDs System Status Indicator LEDs on page 3. Five control keys Control Keys on page 4. A panel sounder with a piezo that provides unique sounds for alarm, trouble and supervisory/security conditions Section 3. Operating Modes on page 5.
2. Using the Control Panel Control Keys Control Keys The control panel provides five control keys, Acknowledge/Step, Alarm Silence, Alarm Activate, System Reset, and Lamp Test. Acknowledge Step Use the key to respond to new alarm or trouble signals.
3. Operating Modes Normal Operation The system operates in Normal mode when no alarms or troubles exist.
3. Operating Modes Fire Alarm If the trouble clears (before or after pressing ), the control panel sends a Clear Trouble message to the printer.
3. Operating Modes Supervisory Signal Supervisory Signal Note: You can program Supervisory signals as Tracking or Latching. Supervisory signals cause the control panel to do the following: • Produce a warbling audible tone; • Turn on the Supervisory relay (MPS-400, TB4) and flash the Supervisory LED; • Display “Active” in the status banner on the control panel; and • Turn off the panel sounder for all Silenced alarms. Status banner ACTIVE ACTIVE TAMPER VISITORS LOUNGE I.C.U.
3. Operating Modes Notification Appliance Circuit (NAC) Operation Notification Appliance Circuit (NAC) Operation The four NACs (TB7-TB10 on the MPS-400) have Control-by-Event and trouble functions like M500CH addressable modules on the SLC loop.
