Control/LED LED colour Description
Fire Protection Delay
button and LED
Yellow Enables or disables a previously configured fire
protection delay. Cancels a delay as it counts down and
activates fire protection.

Yellow Enables or disables a previously configured sounder
delay. Cancels a delay as it counts down and activates
sounders.
A steady LED indicates that a sounder delay is
configured and enabled. A flashing LED indicates a
delay is counting (sounders are activated when the
configured delay elapses or when the delay is

Sounder Start/Stop
button and LED
Red The LED indicates what happens when the button is
pressed:
If the LED is on (flashing or steady), pressing the button
silences the sounders.
If the LED is off, pressing the button activates the
sounders (if the control panel status and operating
mode allow manual activation of sounders).
The LED also indicates the status of the sounders:
• Steady indicates that sounders are active (or will be
activated shortly)
• Flashing indicates that a delay is counting
(sounders are activated when the configured delay
elapses or when the delay is cancelled)
• Off indicates that the sounders are off (or will be
deactivated shortly)

Chapter 1: Introduction
KFP-AF Series Fire Alarm Control Panel Installation Manual 7
Control/LED LED colour Description
Notes
To prevent the immediate silencing of sounders when
an alarm is first reported, the Sounder Start/Stop button
may be temporarily blocked when a configured sounder
delay is counting down. For more information, see
“Sounders silence disable time” on page 82.
Depending on the size of the installation, processing
commands to start or stop sounders may take a few
seconds to travel through the system. This is why, for
example, the LED may be steady but sounders may not
initially be audible.
Panel Silence button
and LED
Yellow Silences the control panel buzzer.
A steady LED indicates that the buzzer has been
silenced.
Reset button and LED Yellow Resets the control panel and clears all current system
events.
A steady LED indicates that the control panel can be
reset in the current user level.
Output group LED indications
The control panel can be configured to have several sounder, fire routing, or fire
protection output groups. Some groups may use the same indicators. When such
groups have the same status, that status is indicated. In the case of conflicting
status, the highest priority status is displayed.
The following examples illustrate this operation.
There are three sounder output groups, the first in fault status, the second in
delayed status, and the third in activated status. The sounder 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 output 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).
For more information on output groups, see “Output groups” on page 72.

10 KFP-AF Series Fire Alarm Control Panel Installation Manual
Indication of remote and local events on the LCD
The local control panel ID is always displayed on the LCD (see Figure 2 on
page 8).
If your control panel forms part of a fire network, the event notification includes
the panel ID reporting the event as follows:
• If the panel ID matches the local ID, then the event relates to the local control
panel
• If the panel ID does not match the local ID, then the event is reported by the
remote control panel with the panel ID indicated
Repeater panels are installed only in fire networks and by default have a network
board installed. Fire alarm control panels must have a network board installed to
connect to a fire network.
Acoustic indicators
The control panel buzzer acts as an acoustic indicator to highlight system events.
Table 4: Panel buzzer tones
Indication Description
The buzzer sounds continuously Indicates a fire alarm or a system fault
The buzzer sounds intermittently (long tone) [1] Indicates all other faults
The buzzer sounds intermittently (short tone) [1] Indicates a condition
[1] A long tone is 50% ON and 50% OFF. A short tone is 25% ON and 75% OFF.
