Silence button
After pressing the Silence button, the panel silences the Bell output
(PFC-7501 terminal 5) and momentarily drops power to the auxiliary
output (PFC-7501 terminal 6), the TAM Trouble Annunciator Module,
and zones 2 to 5. Additionally, any Fire or Supervisory event displays
at the keypads are also cleared.
Communication trouble
If either phone line connected to the panel is in a bad condition, or if the
panel has failed ten attempts to communicate with the central station,
the TAM emits a steady audible alert and turns on the Yellow LED. The
Silence switch can be used to turn off the sounder but not the LED.
Panel processor failure
During a processor failure on the panel, the TAM emits a steady
audible alert and turns on the Yellow LED. The sounder cannot be
silenced when a processor failure occurs.
