These buttons will work temporarily to silence the tone, but they do not resolve the condition that is causing the tone.įor trouble conditions, someone must identify and correct the condition to stop the tone permanently. Every modern Fire Alarm has buttons that say “Silence”, “Trouble Silence”, and “Acknowledge”. To stop the tone from occurring manually, you need to follow the procedure for your particular system. Outputs from various other systems such as Door Holder Power Supplies.Monitor Modules that report functions of devices such as Fire Pumps.Duct Detectors that measures for smoke in your HVAC system that will close dampers or shut down AC units.Fire Sprinkler Valves that shut off water to the system.Supervisory devices watch for events which can affect the system operations, but are NOT Fire Alarms that dispatch trucks to your property. Supervisory Conditions occur when a “supervisory device” goes into alarm on the system. Cut, broken, or disconnected circuit wires.This could prevent the field devices to fail in the event of an actual fire. Why is it Beeping?Ī Trouble Condition occurs when the alarm detects a problem with the equipment itself. The sound will be restricted to the Fire Alarm Control Panel and any Remote Annunciators (keypads) on the system. But, this noise will not carryout throughout your entire building. Nearly all makes and models of fire alarms make the same annoying beeping noise for both conditions. These “beeps” mean that your fire alarm panel is in either Trouble Condition or Supervisory Condition. Many people do not realize that this beeping is a much different notification than the sirens or pre-recorded voice commands during Alarm Condition. But, it can be confusing when the fire alarm control panel “beeps”. This is because we have been trained to respond to the loud sirens or voice evacuation orders in school and workplace fire drills. We all recognize the noises Fire Alarms make when they are in Alarm Condition. Fire Alarms are engineered to make a lot of noise.
