4.8 Operating the control panel by using the fire brigade control unitA fire brigade control unit offers the fire brigade the possibility to operate the necessary functions of
the control panel uniformly. Fire brigade control units are locally designed differently and sometimes
have to fulfill different functions. Thus only the basic operations can be described in this User Manual.
Information on the actually possible operations is to be found in the User Manuals of the respective fire
brigade control units.
Commonly, fire brigade control units are secured with a lockable door and thus can be operated only
by the fire brigade.
In the following, the most common input elements of the different fire brigade control units are juxta-
posed to the comparable operations on the control panel itself.
