Special Fire Command Center Displays
As you use your system, you will occasionally see a display that asks you to enter a code or that describes a condition on the system. Below are some examples of the displays you will see:
ALARM
A 24 hour zone, such as a fire zone, has been tripped. Your system may sound bells and/or sirens.
TROUBLE
There is a problem with a protection device or system component. This display is accompanied by a description of the problem.
ENTER CODE
The system requires you to enter your user code. User codes can be required for turning your system on, turning your system off, and many other functions.
As you enter your user code, the display shows an asterisk (*) in place of each digit pressed. This keeps others from seeing your user code on the display as it’s entered.
TRY AGAIN or INVALID CODE
The user code you have entered is not recognized by the system. Check the user code and try again.
INVALID LEVEL
All user codes have authority levels that allow the user to only access certain functions. When a user attempts a function outside their authority, the INVALID LEVEL message displays.
SYSTEM TROUBLE or SERVICE REQUIRED
There is a problem with one or more of the components in your system. Contact our service department as soon as possible.
SYSTEM BUSY
The Addressable Fire Alarm Control Panel is performing another task of a higher priority. This usually only takes a few moments.
Special Fire Command Center Tones
Your keyboard also contains a small speaker that allows it to alert you to events as they occur on your system. Below are brief descriptions of the different tones you'll hear from the keyboard:
Fire Alarm tone: An intermittent sweeping siren that sounds until the fire alarm is silenced.
Key press tone: A short beep each time you press a key and it’s acknowledged by the system.
Trouble tone: A steady tone indicating a trouble condition on your system. Press any key except TEST or DRILL to silence. This only silences the keypad and does not correct the condition that originally caused the trouble.
