SUPERVISORY CONDITIONS
If your building has a fire sprinkler system installed, your installer may have installed a
sensor which monitors the sprinkler system (i.e.: to determine whether the main water gate
valve is open or that there is adequate water pressure, etc.). When the control panel detects
a fault on this sensor, it will provide an audible and visual "supervisory" indication as
described below. When this indication appears, CALL YOUR INSTALLER FOR SERVICE
IMMEDIATELY. The audible indication can be silenced as described below. Other conditions
for which your system might require service are described in the "TROUBLE CONDITIONS"
section near the end of this manual.
1. The console sounder will produce a
rapid beeping sound. The external fire
sounders will not be on. The console
display window will display "SUPV"
along with the number and alpha
descriptor for the zone which has the
supervisory condition. A message will
be sent to the central monitoring station
(if your system was installed with this
capability)
BYPASSING FIRE ZONES
NOTE: Ask your installer if your system was set up to allow fire zones to be
bypassed.
This feature is used to disable the monitoring of one or more fire zones when, for example,
the smoke detectors on a zone are to be serviced. If enabled, this feature can only be used
by a master user. Your system also allows other "system" zones and "system" outputs
which are related to your fire protection to be bypassed. See BYPASSING SYSTEM
ZONES AND SYSTEM OUTPUTS" in the "COMMON FEATURES" section for more
information.
1. Enter the master code. Then press
BYPASS [6] and enter the number(s) of
zone to be bypassed. All single digit
zone numbers must be preceded by a
zero (e.g.: enter 01 when bypassing
zone 1)
2. All bypassed zones will be sequentially
displayed when you are finished
entering the number zones to be
bypassed. The console will then
display a bypass message as a
reminder that one or more zones is
bypassed.

2. Press any key to silence the console
sounder
3. To clear the console display, first have
your installer correct the cause of the
supervisory condition. Then enter your
security code and press the OFF [1]
key. NOTE: the display will not clear
while the condition remains.
3. Zones which have been bypassed can
be displayed by entering any code and
then pressing the BYPASS [6] key.
Bypassed zones will then be displayed
sequentially.
4. All fire zone bypasses are removed
when an OFF sequence (security code
+ OFF) is performed.
FIRE ALARM SYSTEM OPERATION
ACTIVATING A FIRE DRILL TEST
Use this test to activate the external fire
bells for the purposes of conducting a fire
drill. This test can only be performed by
your installer or by the master user and
should be conducted at a frequency
determined by the local authority having
jurisdiction. The fire and burglary portions
of your system will continue to be
operational for alarm signalling while this
test is active (if burglary protection is
installed, this test must be run with the
system disarmed). Use the following steps
to perform this test.
1. Enter the master code. Then press the
[#] key followed by the digits "69".
2. The console will display "FIRE DRILL
ACTIVE" and the external fire bells will
produce either a steady or interrupted
sound (depending on what your
installer selected at installation time)
while this test is active.
3. Turn off this test by entering any user's
code and pressing the OFF [1] key.
Your
system
will
automatically
terminate this test if a fire alarm
condition is detected.
