5.3.2  Disposal of Fault Message 
There are two kinds of fault message. One is system fault, like AC fault, battery fault, 
and loop fault. The other is field device fault, like fault with detectors and modules etc. 
  If the system is powered by battery for longer time than its capacity, the panel will 
shut down to protect the battery.  Please  charge the battery in time to avoid any 
possible damage to it.  
  If it is system fault, please check and repair in time. If the panel needs to be shut 
down, please make detailed notes. 
  If it is field device fault, please repair it in time.  You can disable it if the fault cant be 
cleared for some reason, and enable it when the fault is removed. 
5.4 Rules for Message Display 
If there are multiple messages in the system, they will be displayed in the following order: 
fire alarm, action, fault, start, disable. 
1  The  earliest  fire  alarm  is  displayed  in  priority.  The  latest  action,  fault,  disabled 
message is displayed in priority. 
2  There are zone and loop display modes for fire alarm, fault, and disabled messages. 
And start and action only has loop display mode. 
3  In  any  display  mode,  the  system  will  return  to  displaying  of  the  highest  priority  if 
there is no operation within 20s (15s30s). 
5.5 Rules for Sound Indication 
The FACP will sound to indicate fire alarm or fault messages.  
  The FACP gives fast tick sound when fire alarm occurs. 
  The FACP gives action sound when any device is activated. 
  Module action -- no sound indication. 
  Gas extinguishing device action -- tick sound. 
  Delayed activation of devices by automatic C&E equation - slow tick sound 
(0.5s on). 
  The FACP gives slow tick sound (1s on)when fault occurs. 
The FACP will give sound of higher priority if two types of event occur simultaneously.

n fire alarm condition, the system needs to be silenced before RESET operation. 
6.3.2  Enable and Disable 
The disabling/enabling of devices is mainly used when a trouble condition of a device 
cannot be removed in time.  This device can then be temporarily disabled, and enabled 
after its repaired. 
The disabling/enabling of delay can be set as needed.  For example, if there is person 
on duty, the system delay can be enabled, so that the system can select delay by C&E 
equation or by the pre-set local delay in case of an alarm.  If there is nobody on duty, the 
delay can be disabled and the system outputs immediately.  
Pressing ENABLE/DISABLE, the screen will be shown as in Fig. 6-16.
