A lamp test is accomplished by pressing and holding the acknowledge [ACK] key for more 

than 3 seconds. All LEDs on the FMR-1000-RA are turned on and the LCD display is filled with 

black blocks when the lamp test starts. As soon as the acknowledge [ACK] key is released, the 

revision number, Option Bus address, and key lock status appear on LCD display for 

3 seconds. Then the LEDs and the LCD display return to normal working mode (controlled by 

the panel).

With the key lock in the locked position, the user can use the scroll keys only for navigating 

the LCD display and operate the acknowledge [ACK] key. Upon an invalid key press, the 

display shows “KEY LOCKED” for 3 seconds. Refer to Table 7.1 on Page 11 for key lock bypass 

option.

With either the key lock in unlocked position or the DIP switch setting for the key lock 

bypassed, the user may operate any of the device’s keys.

With no alarms or troubles in the system, the display message is "SYSTEM NORMAL" or 

"SYSTEM NORMAL DAY" along with the current date and time.

During initialization by start-up or re-configuration, the screen indicates "System Initializing”.

The panel shows the “System Resetting” screen upon reset, until the system returns to the 

normal supervising condition.

If PAS or Pre-signal is turned on, the screen indicates “SYSTEM NORMAL DAY”.

Any off-normal conditions are shown in groups classified as fire alarm, gas alarm, supervisory 

and trouble. 

Use the arrow keys to view events or conditions in the same group. Up and down keys move 

the user to the previous or next event. The left and right keys switch to other groups.

During an alarm, pressing the acknowledge [ACK] key turns off the piezo that is sounding on 

an annunciator. All the ongoing events or conditions are marked as “Acknowledged”. The 

24-hour trouble reminder timer starts. Any trouble event not cleared within 24 hours is sent 

again and the piezo begins to beep again.

If a fire input point configured as "PAS enabled" (with global PAS enabled) is activated, 

pressing the acknowledge [ACK] key within 15 seconds after a PAS activation starts the 

investigation timer. This allows the user to investigate the fire alarm or take other appropriate 

actions until the timer expires.

An acknowledgement operation can also be initiated by the activation of an input point 

configured as an acknowledge type.

Pressing the silence key performs all functions of the acknowledge operation. 

When the silence operation is initiated, the panel goes into a “Silenced” status and the 

“Silenced" LED lights. The piezos on all keypads and annunciators turn off. All outputs are 

silenced if configured as “Silenceable”. NACs play the “Silenced” pulse for the programmed
