Sounder, fire routing, and fire protection indications
The control panel may be configured by your installer to have several sounder,
fire routing, or fire protection groups. As groups of a single type may not always
share the same status, the front panel indications for the corresponding group
type display the general status for all groups. In the case of conflicting status, the
highest priority status is displayed.
Note: For evacuation panels, indications for operations associated with the
programmable buttons use the corresponding programmable button LEDs.
The following examples illustrate this operation.
There are three sounder groups, the first in fault status, the second in delayed
status, and the third in activated status. The sounder LED indications display the
fault status of the first group, the delay status of the second group, and the
activated status of the third group.

There are two fire routing groups, the first is in activated status and the second is
in acknowledged status. The fire routing indication displays the acknowledged
status but not the activation status (the acknowledgement status takes priority).
