Version: January 2012
9. After all the points have been acknowledged, the LEDs shall glow steady and the panel audible
signal shall be silenced. The total number of alarms, supervisory, and trouble conditions shall be
displayed along with a prompt to review each list chronologically. The end of the list shall be
indicated. The first 10 fire alarm zones shall be displayed simultaneously in chronological order.
10. Alarm Silencing
a. Pressing the "Alarm Silence" button shall cause all notification appliances programmed for
“On-Until-Silenced” to be deactivated. A separate panel mounted yellow LED shall illuminate
to indicate the alarm silenced mode.
b. All NACs programmed for “On-Until-Reset” shall remain activated until the system is Reset.
11. Alarm Silence Inhibit Timer
a. Operation shall include a programmable duration timer that specifies the length of time that
notification appliances shall not be deactivated during alarm silence inhibit mode.
b. The inhibit timer shall be programmable from 0 to 60 minutes in duration.
12. System Reset
a. The "System Reset" button shall be used to return the system to its normal state after an
alarm condition has been remedied. The display shall step the user through the reset process
with simple English language messages. Messages shall provide operator assurance of the
sequential steps (i.e.: "IN PROGRESS", "RESET COMPLETED", and "SYSTEM NORMAL")
as they occur, should all alarm conditions be cleared.
b. Should an alarm condition continue to exist, the system shall remain in an abnormal state.
System control relays shall not reset. The panel audible signal and the Alarm LED shall be
on. The display shall indicate the total number of alarms and troubles present in the system
along with a prompting to review the points. These points shall not require acknowledgment if
they were previously acknowledged.
c. Should the Alarm Silence Inhibit function be active, the "System Reset" key press shall be
ignored and a message shall be displayed for a short time to indicate that the reset was
inhibited. For operator assurance, a message indicating that reset is no longer inhibited shall
be displayed when the inhibit function time expires.
13. History Logging.
a. The control panel shall have the ability to store a minimum of fifty (50) events in an alarm log
plus a minimum of one hundred (100) events in a separate trouble log. These events shall be
stored in a battery protected random access memory (RAM). Systems not having discrete
alarm and trouble logging memory shall include an alternate supervised (e.g.: floppy drive,
tape cassette) historic recording method with battery backup. Real time and date shall
accompany all history event recording.
b. History logs shall be capable of being viewed separately or shall be selectable for viewing as
a combined history log that displays both alarm and trouble events in chronological order.
14. Walk Test System Testing
a. The system shall be capable of being tested by one person. While in the test mode, the
system shall display a trouble condition.
b. While in the walk test mode, the activation of an initiating device shall be silently logged as an
alarm in the historical log. The panel shall automatically reset after logging the alarm.
c. The momentary disconnection of an initiating device or notification appliance shall be silently
logged as a trouble condition in the historical log. The panel shall automatically reset itself
after logging of the trouble condition.
d. Integrity of the installation conductors of IDCs and NACs shall be verified by momentarily
opening any circuit.
e. Walk Test of ground fault circuit testing shall be verified by operating the Notification
Appliances for 4 seconds.
f. Optionally, the Walk Test sequence shall have the capability of activating NACs to signal with
a code associated with the alarmed zone. If this option is selected, any momentary opening
of initiating or NAC wiring shall cause the notification appliances to sound for 4 seconds to
indicate the trouble condition. The Walk Test feature shall automatically revert to the normal
operating mode after eight (8) hours if it is not manually activated.
