When using false alarm management (FAM) on an Apollo Core protocol panel, and a device goes into fire, the panel will display “Verifying” and the sounders will activate with a verification tone. The pre-alarm LED on the panel display will also illuminate.
If the fire condition is verified by a second zone in fire, the panel would cancel the verification and enter full fire, but the sounders would still be active with the verification tone instead of the fire tone. The pre-alarm LED would also remain active.
A fix has been included in this firmware update so that the sounders will change from a verification tone to a fire tone once the fire has been confirmed by a second zone in fire. The pre-alarm LED will now turn off once the fire is confirmed and the panel enters full fire.
