Note: The Supervisory LED may not light during System Test, depending on whether or not Zone 4 is
programmed for supervisory service. To test the Supervisory LED, remove the jumper across Terminals 9
and 10, creating a supervisory condition. If the LED lights, it is good.
Walk Test switch allows one person to test all initiating an indicating devices. The function of this switch is
to automatically reset the panel. After receiving an alarm signal, the panel will sound all signaling devices
for two seconds and then will reset the panel. The procedure repeats every two to three seconds until the
alarm condition is cleared.

under normal conditions, service the system immediately.
System Alarm - A red LED that lights when an alarm condition is detected.
Supervisory - A yellow LED that indicates need for action in connection with the supervision or maintenance
of sprinklers, extinguishing systems or other protective systems.
System Trouble - This yellow LED indicates that a fault or abnormal condition exists and that the fire alarm
system may be inoperative.
Ind. Circuit Trouble - A yellow LED that lights in response to a fault in the main bell circuits, including an open
or a short in the field wiring, or connection of a non-polarized indicating appliance.
Battery Trouble - A yellow LED that annunciates fault in the battery circuit.
Ground Fault - A yellow LED that lights when either side of the power source is shorted to the chassis.
Walk Test - A yellow LED that lights when the Walk Test feature is activated.
Zone Alarm - A red LED that lights when its associated zone is in alarm. The zone disable does not affect this
annunciator.
Zone Trouble - A yellow LED that lights when its associated zone has a fault or abnormal operating condition.
This trouble circuit monitors an initiating loop, local and remote zone alarm indicators, and the position of the
zone disable switch .

Note: This panel is suitable for use as a remote station where separate transmission circuits
are required for fire and trouble. To implement this feature, leave JP2 intact, use terminals 3

3.6 Central Station Service
The 4012/4024 can be employed as a Central Station Protected Premise Control Unit under the following conditions:
✓✓
✓✓
✓The control unit is used in conjuction with a compatible electrically actuated transmitter, UL listed for central
station fire service under classification UUTV (Potter Electric Signal Company model ATTE-B)
✓✓
✓✓
✓The central station receiving unit must be UL listed and compatible with the transmitter.
✓✓
✓✓
✓The transmitter must be installed according to its installation instructions.
✓✓
✓✓
✓The transmitter cabinet must be mounted adjacent to the control unit with interconnecting wiring enclosed in
conduit.
✓✓
✓✓
✓The fire alarm control unit, transmitter, and receiver are required to have at least 24-hour standby operating
power.
** Alarm Operation - During an alarm condition, the control panel will actuate the transmitter and cause the unit to transmit the
following:
- Four rounds of coded signal if the control panel is in a normal state.
- Three rounds of coded signal if the control panel is in a trouble state.
The transmitter's red LED will light during an alarm. When the alarm has cleared, reset the panel to reset the transmitter.
** Trouble Operation - During a trouble condition, the control panel will actuate the transmitter and cause the unit to transmit
one round of coded signal. The transmitter's yellow LED will light during trouble conditions. After the trouble condition in the
control panel has been cleared, press the Reset switch on the ATTE-B to remove the transmitter from a trouble state.

To insure proper and reliable operation, it is recommended that an inspection and testing of the system be
conductedmonthly,orasrequiredbyNationaland/orLocalcodes.Testingshouldbeperformedbyaqualified
service representative.
Before testing the panel, notify:
** Fire department and/or the central station receiving any transmitted alarm or trouble condition. If it is
necessary to inhibit alarm transmission, slide the remote station disable switch to its abnormal position.
** Facility personnel so that the alarm sounding devices will be ignored during the test period.
Slide the System Test switch down and ensure that all indicators except the zone alarm LEDs light and that
allsignalingdevicesareactive.ReleasetheswitchandensurethatallzonealarmLEDslight.Resetthepanel.
Test a zone by shorting the zone contacts with a jumper. Ensure that the signaling devices are activated and
that the zone and system alarm LEDs light. Reset the panel and repeat for each zone.
To check all initiating devices, slide the Walk Test switch down. The Walk Test LED will light and the system
trouble devices will be activated. In this mode, the panel will reset automatically. Activate an alarm initiating
device and ensure that the indicating devices function. Check each initiating device in this manner. When all
initiating and indicating devices have been checked, return the Walk Test switch to its normal position.
