zones in a fire alarm condition and the last zone to enter the fire alarm condition. This lower fire alarm status
display is always present when the panel has registered a fire alarm condition.
If more than one fire alarm condition occurs, the total number of zones in an alarm condition and the last zone in
an alarm condition will be updated on the display. If the sounders were silenced, they will sound again whenever
the fire spreads to a new zone.

3.2.2 Investigation Delays
The Investigation Delay Function can be disabled or enabled as required by EN54: 2.
Refer to Section 3.8.4.
If the Investigation Delay Function (Stage 1 / Stage 2 Investigation Delay) is enabled, a fire alarm is registered
at the panel but does not immediately activate the sounders. On registering the alarm, the display shows:
FIRE STARTED IN ZONE 0001 .
BASEMENT WEST
KITCHEN <TEMPERATURE>
OUTPUT DELAY 30 s (Press 0 to extend)
< Location Text for First Zone
< Location Text and Type of Device
< Delay Timer (Stage 1)
[ 1 Zone in Fire][Last Fire in Z0001]
BASEMENT WEST
The Output Delay Timer shows the amount of time left for investigation.
If the alarm is not acknowledged before the Stage 1 timer elapses, the panel will enter a full alarm condition and
will activate the sounders.
Pressing the ‘0’ button acknowledges the alarm. This extends the time allowed to investigate the source of the
fire.
FIRE STARTED IN ZONE 0001 .
BASEMENT WEST
KITCHEN <TEMPERATURE>
OUTPUT DELAY 120 s
< Location Text for First Zone
< Location Text and Type of Device

The cause of the alarm can now be investigated. If the alarm is a false alarm, pressing the ‘RESET’ button will
clear the alarm condition. This must be done before the Stage 2 timer has elapsed or the panel will enter a full
alarm condition and will activate the sounders.
Note: The EVACUATION button will terminate the investigation delays and activate all programmed sounders.

< No. of Zones in FAULT
If more than one fault condition occurs, these will be shown on the display. If the internal buzzer was muted, it
will sound again when a new fault condition is registered.
When the fault condition is corrected, the panel automatically clears the appropriate fault Status Indicators and
Display information.
Press the ‘MUTE’ button to silence the internal buzzer (the general FAULT LED will change from flashing to
steady illumination). The display then shows the current time and date and service centre telephone number
along with the indication of the fault.

When the disablement conditions are removed, the appropriate indications are cleared from the display and
from the Indicators. When all disablement conditions are removed, the DISABLE Indicator is also turned off.
To obtain more detailed information about the disablement conditions, press the button. The display will then
present the disablement conditions in the following sequence:
Zone / Individual Inputs.
Outputs
3.4.1 Disabled Inputs
The display presents a list of all of the zones in a disabled condition with the first disablement highlighted. For
example:
[ 2 Zones with Inputs Disabled] More>
ZONE MODE LOCATION
0001 PART DISABLED BASEMENT WEST
0002 ALL DISABLED BASEMENT EAST
< Zone, disablement condition and
< location text
The display shows the status as ALL DISABLED if every input device within the zone has been disabled and
shows the status as PART DISABLED if there is at least one input device within the zone still active.
Press the  buttons to highlight the required zone and then press the button to view the location text
assigned to the zone in full. For example:
Press the button again to view the inputs within the zone and their status. For example:
[ Inputs in Zone 0001 ] <More>
Mode Lp Adrs State
Enabled 1 001.0 Normal
Disabled 1 002.0 Normal
Enabled 1 003.0 Normal
Enabled 1 004.0 Normal
The display shows the current disablement condition (mode) for each input as either enabled or disabled. In
addition, the detection loop (LP), address (ADRS) and type of input are shown. Press the  buttons to scroll
through the inputs.
Press the button to show further information on device location, type analogue/digital values etc.

Disabled 0 001.1 Off Sounder B
Enabled 0 011.0 *Off Relay 1
Enabled 0 004.0 Off Relay 2
The above example shows that the panel sounder circuits are disabled.
A * symbol preceding the state (e.g. *Off) indicates the device has been configured as an inverted output (e.g. a
fault relay that is designed to de-energise when a fault occurs).
Press the  buttons to scroll through the list of individual outputs within the selected zone. Press the ‘Esc’
button to return to previous views and the main display.
