Pressing the <ALARM ACK> key will:
A. Acknowledge the displayed point or acknowledge all points on the list (Global
Acknowledge).
B. Scroll the points chronologically after all points have been acknowledged.
3.2.2 System Reset
The <SYSTEM RESET> key is used to return the system to its normal state after an
alarm condition has been cleared. When the system reset key is pushed, it will
cause the latched circuits to clear automatically. All circuits include initiating
devices, relays, , indicating appliances, and all LEDs and indicators which are
programmed to reset with the reset key. The message, "SYSTEM RESET IN
PROGRESS", will be displayed when the <SYSTEM RESET> key is pressed.
The <ALARM ACK> key is then pressed and the message "SYSTEM IS NORMAL",
followed by time and date should be displayed. This process will take about 45
seconds.
If a zone stays in alarm during the reset period, the message, "SYSTEM RESET IN
PROGRESS", will be followed by the message:
ALARMS PRESENT
SYSTEM RESET ABORTED
OR
***ALARM*** Press <ACK> to review.
ALARMS = 1 ISOLATED = 0 FAULT = 0
When "SYSTEM RESET ABORTED" is displayed, the system will remain in an
alarm state. The display will indicate the total number of alarms present in the
system along with a prompt to use the <ALARM ACK> key to review the points.
These points do not require acknowledgment. The tone-alert and the alarm LED will
be on.
If the system does not reset, no fire exists, and the display still shows an alarm, read
the alphanumeric display to determine type of device and the zone number in alarm.
Follow local procedures to investigate the area of the building with the alarm. Look
for devices still in alarm (manual call points, smoke detectors, etc.).
