¹ Supervision: On when supervision signal is detected; off when the signal disappears and “reset” is pressed.
¹ System trouble: On when system hardware/software is faulty.
¹ Trouble: On when trouble happen; off when trouble is resolved.
¹ Activation: On when output device (such as output module or main board output port) is activated; Off when
activation signal disappears and “reset” is pressed.
¹ Confirmation: On when controller receives confirmation signal; off when the signal disappears.
¹ NAC trouble: On when a trouble happens on NAC line; off when trouble disappears.
¹ Main Power: On when main power supply is working; off when the AC supply is disconnected.
¹ Battery: On when backup batteries are working; off when the Main power are working and the backup batteries
are not working.
¹ Disable: On when some equipment is disable; off when no equipment is disable; Flashing when system is at
startup status.
¹ Test: On when some device is at test/walk-test mode; off when no device is being tested.
¹ NAC disable: On when NAC line is disable; off when it’s enable.
¹ Auto: Only level 2&3 users can access. At auto mode all interlocking equipment can be activated automatically
by controller according to pre-defined interlocking expression. Manual operations have high priority at
auto mode.
¹ Manual: Level 2&3 user can access. At manual mode all interlocking equipment only can be activated manually.
¹ Acknowledge/Silence: Only level 2&3 users can access. Press “Acknowledge/Silence” to turn off the buzzer
(except when battery is under voltage).
- Flashing when there are events and “Acknowledge/Silence” is not pressed. OR when there are
events and “Acknowledge/Silence” is pressed while new event occurs.
- Off when there are events and “Acknowledge/Silence” is pressed. OR when there are no events.
Sound elimination in a network,
- Press “Acknowledge/Silence” on master controller: internal sounder will turn off for both master and
slaves, also indicator will turn off.
- Press “Acknowledge/Silence” on slave controller: internal sounder will turn off slave itself, also
indicator will turn off, but master remains unaffected.
¹ NAC activation: Only level 2&3 users can access. When fire is detected, NAC is activated and the LED is on.
Press “NAC activation” to deactivate NAC devices and the LED is off. Press it again, NAC device is
activated again and the LED is on. So on and so forth.
- “NAC activation” button is used to activate/deactivate NAC devices.
- NAC device can be disabling through the menu.
- NAC device cannot be activated neither the alarm nor pressing key when NAC device is disable.
- When NAC device is activated, it can be disable. But when it is enable again, its status will be normal
(no matter there is fire alarm or not).
- The LED is used to show NAC device status. The LED is on when NAC device is activated and off
when NAC device is deactivated.
¹ Reset: Only level 2&3 users can access. It is used to reset system. Any event can be reset by pressing this key
no matter it’s acknowledged or not. But to reset fire alarm event is different from to reset non-fire alarm
events in a network.
- Non-fire alarm events:
If master is reset, events in both master and salves are reset.
If a slave is reset, events in the slave are reset; the same events in master are also reset.
- Fire alarm event:
If master is reset, events in both master and salves are reset.
If a slave is reset, events in the slave are reset while the same events in master will not reset

The interlocking panel has 8 output channels. Each channel has indicators to indicate trouble, activation and
confirmation status. Each channel can be controlled by Activation/Deactivation button manually. Only level 2&3 user
can access. Press the button to activate it and press it again to deactivate it, so on and so forth.
¹ Trouble: On when there's trouble; off when trouble is solved.
¹ Activation: On when output channel is activated; flashing when there's no confirmation; Off when the output
¹ Confirmation: On when confirmation is received; off when confirmation signal disappears.
