the trouble buzzer to flash at the trouble flash rate. Pressing the Auxiliary Disconnect button

again de-activates this function and the system will go back to normal.

9.4.4 Lamp Test Button

Activation of the Lamp Test button causes all front panel Indicators to steadily illuminate and

turns the buzzer ON steady. If Lamp Test is active for more than 10 seconds, Common Trouble

is activated.

9.4.5 Buzzer Silence Button

Activation of the Buzzer Silence button while the Buzzer is sounding silences the Buzzer. The

Buzzer will resound if there is a subsequent event. Pressing the button when the Buzzer is not

sounding has no effect.

9.5 Circuit (zone) disconnect buttons

Circuit (Zone) Disconnect pushbuttons are provided for all initiating indicating, and releasing

circuits on the Fire Alarm Control Panel. These pushbuttons are located beside their

respective indicating LED.

Pressing a Circuit Disconnect pushbutton bypasses the associated circuit and turns on its

Trouble Indicator, activating Common Trouble. Pressing a releasing circuit disconnect

pushbutton bypasses the associated releasing circuit and turns on its LED, activating common

supervisory. While a Circuit is disconnected, all changes in status (alarms and troubles) on

that circuit are ignored. The panel does not activate disconnected indicating circuits. Circuit

Disconnect pushbuttons are toggle switches; therefore, pressing an activated switch a second

time will un-bypass (reconnect) the circuit.

Disconnecting an active Latching Initiating Circuit (including Alarms, Water flow Alarm,

Sprinkler Alarm, General Alarm, and Latching Supervisory) does not affect its status until the

panel is reset. Disconnecting an active Non-Latching Initiating Circuit (including Non-Latching

Supervisory and Trouble-Only) causes them to behave as if the alarm situation has

disappeared. Disconnecting an active indicating circuit immediately deactivates the circuit.

When an Initiating Circuit Disconnect pushbutton is returned to the normal state (by pressing it

again in order to un-bypass the circuit), the panel checks the state of the circuit. If the circuit is

active, the Status Indicator flashes for 10 seconds at the Fast Rate without processing the

input. If the Circuit is not re-bypassed by then, it will be processed as a new input.
