The front panel is divided into three areas: General Status Indicators, Indicators and zone push-buttons and control keypad. 2.1.1 Buzzer NFS Supra control panel has an internal buzzer to warn about events, as follows: -Buzzer steady: Alarm registered in a zone or Evacuation activated. -Intermittent Buzzer*1: System fault.
NFS Supra Operation 2.1.2 LED Status Indicators The front panel Leds are divided into two groups: General System Status Indicators, zone status indicators. control panel has 10 system leds and 2 more leds for each zone. Additionally, the control keys have their own led, to indicate the state of each key, such as Mute Buzzer, Silence/Resound, Evacuate or Delay On/Off.
NFS Supra Operation Disablement (yellow): This led indicates that any zone or sounder output circuits are disabled. If there are Sounder delays, the Disablement led will be lit together with the Sounders delayed led (EN54/2). However, from Access level 3 (programmer), it is possible to program that the sounder delays do not light the Disablement led.
-Led On: System fault. Switch off the 220V power supply and batteries until the Power led is off and connect the power supply again. If the fault continues, contact your supplier. Note: In case that the external relays or communication boards are installed but not communicating with the NFS supra control panel, the system fault led will light.
NFS Supra Operation ZONE INDICATORS The system has a number of alarm detection zones which will correspond, in general, with particular areas of the protected building. In case of incidence in one of these zones, the zone led indicator, indicates their status. In case of Fault, Disablement or Test in one zone, besides the yellow zone LED, the general state LED of the specific event will light.
