MORE INFO Key –Function Key F1 displays additional alarm information. This includes the alarm type, zone action text, the current level of the device causing the alarm, and the time at which the alarm occurred.
SILENCE BUZZER Key –is used to silence the internal
buzzer in the panel if it is on. SILENCE ALARMS Keyswitch –operating this switch deactivates the alarm alerting devices (the Alarm Devices indicator goes out). The FAULTS indicator will light and the fault buzzer may sound (continuously). When this switch is restored to normal, all current alarms will be automatically disabled/isolated (the DISABLES indicator will light) and the alarm detail display will be replaced by the general fault display. EVACUATION Keyswitch –operating this switch activates the alarm alerting devices. SERVICES RESTORE Keyswitch –operating this switch restores selected building services to normal operation after a fire alarm (dependent on system configuration). Other keys - While the door is shut and the key turned fully clockwise, all other keys on the keypad cannot be used.
Fire Fighter’s Interface –New Zealand Operation –Quick Reference
Alphanumeric Display –shows alarm detail: alarm type, zone/ point number, zone location and point location. It also shows which alarm is being displayed and what the total number of alarms is. General FIRE Indicator –is lit if there is any unisolated alarm, whether brigade calling or not. SEVERAL ALARMS Indicator –lit when there are 2 or more alarms present. Press NEXT to view additional alarms. Alarm Devices Indicator (red) –is lit when the alarm alerting devices (sounders, evacuation system, etc.) are activated. Alarm Routing Indicator (red) –is lit when a Fire signal is being transmitted to the brigade signalling device.
NEXT Key –steps the alarm display forward to the following
alarm. The F3 key has the same effect. ACK Key –Function Key F4 marks an alarm as acknowledged in the alphanumeric display. Acknowledgement of an alarm may make the corresponding flashing zone alarm indicator go steady and may acknowledge the alarm at a remote display. PREV Key –Function Key F2 steps the alarm display backwards to the previous alarm.

Vigilant MX1 Operator Manual Document: LT0344
Page 1-2 8 August 2017 Issue 2.4
This manual covers the operations and displays available on the MX1’s
front panel. This manual is intended for use by building owners and
managers, fire brigade staff, and front line service staff. It assumes that
the reader has a basic knowledge of automatic fire alarm systems.
It does not cover:
system design, or installation and operational requirements specified
in local standards or building codes.
more detailed service functions that require access to the inside of the
cabinet, or use of more advanced diagnostic functions for fault finding
or performance analysis.
These and other topics are covered in the “MX1 System Design Manual”,
part number LT0361 and the “MX1 Service Manual”, part number
LT0366.
The topics in this manual are generally arranged in decreasing order of
urgency. Firefighter use of the Fire Brigade Panel (f.b.p.) is shown inside
the front page, with a detailed section on dealing with alarms in Chapter
2.
This is followed by less urgent actions, dealing with Faults and Disables,
Point and Zone Status Recalls, Testing, and System Status Recall,
followed by a description of error messages and system points.
To obtain continued high-reliability operation from the MX1 it is
necessary to have it regularly tested and maintained by trained and
qualified service-company personnel.
NZS 4512:2010 details the requirements for the testing and maintenance
of fire alarm systems. The MX1 Service Manual (LT0366) contains a
guide to the procedures for testing the MX1.
If changes are required to the site-specific configuration of the MX1 (for
example, if new detectors are required because of building alterations)
then this work must be carried out by a suitably trained and qualified fire-
alarm service person and the “as-installed”information updated including
a record of the new site-specific configuration version. All system
changes must be fully tested and commissioning sheets completed. The
new site-specific configuration should be compared against the previous
version to ensure that there have been no unintentional changes.
A description of nuisance alarms and actions that can be carried out to
help reduce the incidence of them is given in “Nuisace Alarms” on page
1-18.
