How can you see the exact location of the alarm when it comes in?
On the map, the building that is in alarm for any color will be outlined and flashing. If you click on the building, you can continue to click to see the floorplan and exactly where the alarm is located.
Why would you have a trouble or supervisory alarm on the screen for more than 24 hours?
The OE was not able to clear the alarm but everything still works the way it is supposed to. We are just waiting for an electrician or Thompson’s to fix it.
What will happen if you have a trouble or supervisory alarm up for more than 24 hours?
There will be an audible alarm at the fire panel in that building every 24 hours as a reminder until it is fixed.
What needs to be done when you are told about the audible alarm?
Send the OE to silence the alarm. Put in a work order for them.
