Figure 105 Sample Display for a Supervisory Signal

A control panel in Supervisory operation does the following:

• Activates the panel sounder with a warbling tone.

• Flashes the

SUPERVISORY

LED.

• Displays a status banner of

ACTIVE

along with specific information about the activated device as shown in Figure 106.

• Activates the Supervisory relay.

• Latches the device until the Supervisory signal is cleared and the system is reset.

Note: In Supervisory operation, the Alarm relay does not activate, silenced alarms do not resound nor do they reactivate silenced alarm CBE, and timers do not start.

Supervisory signals track and may have their own Control-by-Event. They do not cause resound of alarms or reactivation of silenced alarm CBE. Supervisory circuits may also report open circuit troubles, which operate like any other trouble. If the event is a security point activation, this LED will operate the same as a supervisory, but the LCD display will show the security type code. Refer to Appendix E for further information on security alarms.
