ON ALARM SUPV TRBL CPU FAIL Figure 2 LED Indicators 3.1 Buzzer The buzzer sounds if there is a fire alarm, a supervisory alarm, or a trouble in the fire alarm system. It turns off if the condition causing the buzzer to sound is cleared or if the BUZZER SILENCE button is pressed. 3.2 A.C. On LED The green A.C. On LED illuminates steadily as long as the main power is above minimum level. The indicator turns off when the level falls below the minimum level and the panel switches to standby (battery) power. 3.3 Alarm LED The red Alarm LED illuminates steadily when there is a fire alarm. This indicator will remain on until the system is reset. 3.4 Supervisory LED The amber Supervisory LED illuminates at the fast flash rate when there is a supervisory alarm in the fire alarm system. For non-latching supervisory alarms, the SUPV LED will turn off when the condition causing the alarm goes away. For latching supervisory alarms, this LED remains on until the panel is reset. 3.5 Trouble LED The Trouble LED flashes amber at the trouble flash rate when the panel detects any trouble condition. For non-latching trouble conditions, the Trouble LED turns off when the condition causing the alarm goes away. For latching trouble conditions, the LED remains on until the panel is reset. 3.6 CPU Fail LED The CPU Fail LED flashes amber at the trouble flash rate to indicate a microprocessor failure on the main board. 7 (20) firealarmresources.com 4.0 Main Display Buttons 4.1 SYSTEM RESET SYSTEM RESET The SYSTEM RESET button resets the fire alarm control panel and all circuits. 4.2 SIGNAL SILENCE SIGNAL SILENCE Pressing the SIGNAL SILENCE button when the panel is in alarm deactivates any silenceable signal devices in the fire alarm system. Non-silenceable signal devices are unaffected. If you press the SIGNAL SILENCE button a second time, or if there is a subsequent alarm, the signals will re-sound. If the panel has been configured with a signal silence inhibit timer, this button will not work until the timer expires. This button also does not work if you have pressed the FIRE DRILL button. 4.3 FIRE DRILL FIRE DRILL Pressing the FIRE DRILL button simulates a fire alarm by activating the fire alarm signals without transmitting an alarm to the central station. To cancel the fire drill, press the button again. If the fire alarm system goes into a real alarm while you are performing a fire drill, this button will not turn off the signals or operate any programmed relays. 4.4 LAMP TEST LAMP TEST Pressing and holding the LAMP TEST button causes all the front panel LEDs to illuminate. The screen displays the software version and the buzzer sounds. Use this button to test that the LCD display and all LEDs on the main display are working. If you hold the LAMP TEST button for more than ten seconds, the common trouble is activated. 4.5 BUZZER SILENCE BUZZER SILENCE Pressing the BUZZER SILENCE button while the buzzer is sounding silences the buzzer. The buzzer will resound if there is a subsequent event. Pressing the button when the buzzer is not sounding has no effect. 4.6 The Up and Down Arrow Buttons 8 (20) 2 ABC 8 TUV Use these buttons to scroll through any events listed on the screen. The up arrow moves to the next listed condition and the down arrow moves to the previously listed condition. firealarmresources.com Main Display Buttons 4.7 INFO Press the INFO button while the there is a message on the screen to view INFO additional information. 4.8 ENTER, MENU, and CANCEL The ENTER, MENU, and CANCEL buttons are used by technicians to program the fire alarm control panel. 9 (20) firealarmresources.com 5.0 Disconnecting and Reconnecting a Circuit (Zone) You can disconnect and reconnect detection and signal circuits (zones) from the panel using the bypass options in the menu.

System events display on the screen in a queue. Events in this queue are listed on the screen in order of priority: alarms are of highest priority, followed by supervisory, trouble, and monitor conditions. If the same type of event happens more than once (for example, two trouble conditions occur) they will be listed in the order of the most recent event to the least recent event. If an alarm, supervisory, or trouble condition occurs, their respective LED will flash. Scroll through the events by using the 2 and 8 arrow buttons. If you need more ABC TUV information about a displayed event, press .

In a single stage system, this condition activates all signaling devices throughout the building. In a two stage system, this condition activates an alert signal and the General Alarm timer. Circuits Refers to an actual electrical interface and is classified as initiating (detection), indicating (signal), or relay. The terms "circuit" and "zone" are often used interchangeably in the fire alarm industry. Fast Flash Rate An LED flashes at 120 flashes per minute to indicate a supervisory alarm. Indicating Circuit A circuit in a fire alarm system that is connected to audible or visual signaling devices. Initiating Circuit A circuit in a fire alarm system that is connected to detectors, pull stations, sprinklers, or water flow switches. Latching Circuit A circuit that, when activated, causes a condition on the panel that cannot be cleared until the panel is reset. LED The light-emitting diodes (LEDs) of the FA-300 are colored either amber, red, or green. When lit, LEDs provide information about the status of the panel. Monitor Condition Occurs when dampers open or close, when supply and return fans are running, etc. Non-latching Circuit A circuit that, when activated, causes a condition on the panel that is cleared once the circuit is deactivated. This term is used to describe supervisory and trouble circuits. 18 (20) firealarmresources.com Glossary Non-Silenceable Circuit A signal circuit that cannot be silenced by pressing the SIGNAL SILENCE button. Relay Circuit A circuit in a fire alarm system that connects relay devices (for example, fan damper relays). Remote Annunciator A device that visually indicates, either by LCD or LEDs, the floor or zone where the alarm originated. Silenceable Circuit A signal circuit that can be silenced by pressing the SIGNAL SILENCE button. Supervisory Condition Occurs when the system detects open circuits, short circuits, and grounds. A supervisory condition is one that would interfere with the operation of the fire alarm system. Trouble Condition Occurs when an abnormal condition such as a problem in the wiring, battery or power circuits exists in the fire alarm system. Trouble Flash Rate An LED flashes at 20 flashes per minute to indicate a trouble condition. Walk Test A test performed by a technician to ensure that each detection device is connected to the panel and working properly. Zone A fire alarm protected area that consists of at least one circuit. The terms "circuit" and "zone" are often used interchangeably in the fire alarm industry. 19 19 (20) firealarmresources.com 20 © Mircom 2017 Printed in Canada Subject to change without prior notice www.mircomgroup.com TECHNICAL SUPPORT North America Tel: (888) Mircom5 (888) 647-2665 International Tel: (905) 647-2665 U.S.A 4575 Witmer Industrial Estates Niagara Falls, NY 14305 Tel: (888) 660-4655 (905) 660-4655 Fax: (905) 660-4113 firealarmresources.com CANADA - Main Office 25 Interchange Way Vaughan, ON L4K 5W3 Tel: (888) 660-4655 (905) 660-4655 Fax: (905) 660-4113
