OPERATION
1 INTRODUCTION
This chapter explains how to read the control unit display, interpret the LEDs, and how to
reset the unit. The following are the operational modes of the control unit:
• Normal Mode
• Alarm Signal
• Supervisory Signal
• Trouble Signal State
1.1 Normal Mode
In the normal mode, the control unit continuously monitors all inputs and outputs for any
change of state. In the normal mode the Green AC ON LED is the only illuminated LED.
The buzzer and NACs are silent, The Programmable Relays are de-energized, and the
Trouble relay is energized.
1.2 Alarm Signal State
In the Alarm state, the control unit has detected one or more active inputs on its input
circuits.
The states of Alarm are:
1. First Alarm — caused when input is received from:
• DET 1, or
• DET 2, or
• DET 3 (Detector or Waterflow), or
• Manual Release
2. Pre-Release — caused when input is received from:
• DET 1 in Single-Zone release mode, or
• DET 2 in Single-Zone release mode, or
• DET 1 and DET 2 in Cross-Zone Mode, or
• DET 1 and DET 3 (Waterflow) in Cross-Zone mode, or
• DET 2 and DET 3 (Waterflow) in Cross-Zone mode, or
• DET 1 and Supv 1 in Cross-Zone mode, or
• DET 2 and Supv 1 in Cross-Zone mode, or
• Manual Release
3. Releasing — caused when the pre-release countdown timer has counted down to zero.
In this state, the control unit is actively in the process of activating its Agent Release
Circuit(s).
Post-Release — condition when the control unit has released Agent

1.3 Supervisory Signal
In the supervisory state, the control unit has detected a change in state of one or both of its
supervisory input circuits, or its PCB mounted Output Disable switch. A flashing LED
indicates one or more unacknowledged supervisory events. A steady LED indicates all
supervisory events have been acknowledged. The LED turns off when the AEGIS receives
supervisory-off messages from all initiating devices that reported supervisory conditions.
1.4 Trouble Signal State
In the trouble state, the control unit has detected one or more active troubles such as AC failure,
open circuits, short circuits, ground faults, activation of abort during non-alarm condition, and
so on. In the trouble mode, the Trouble LED and circuit-specific LED will flash, the internal
buzzer will sound, and the trouble relay will de-energize.
With the exception of microprocessor or PCB troubles, all other troubles may be acknowledged
either automatically (i.e., the trouble event reverts to normal condition) or manually by the
operator by pressing the Acknowledge or System Reset control switches.
2 CONTROL SWITCH FUNCTIONALITY
Illegal button presses, or illegal combinations of button presses, shall result in a momentary
display of "Err".
2.1 Acknowledge
Pressing the Acknowledge control switch during an active trouble, supervisory, or alarm allows
the operator to signal the AEGIS that a new event currently being displayed is understood. The
AEGIS control unit’s buzzer will silence and all flashing Alarm, Trouble, or Supervisory LEDs
will light steady.
Table 4-1. Acknowledge
Event Circuit Specific LED System Event LED Buzzer
Alarm Steady Steady Off
Trouble Steady Steady Off
Supervisory Steady Steady Off
Event Clear Off Off Off
Event Recurrence Flash Flash On Steady - Alarm
On Pulsed - Trouble/Supervisory
2.2 Signal Silence
Pressing the Signal Silence control switch at any alarm state will turn on the Signal Silenced
LED and silence all NACs unless configured otherwise (non-silenceable).
2|P age
2.3 System Reset
Resets the system including turning off outputs and interrupting power to all input and output
circuits for a period of five (5) seconds.
2.4 Output Disable
Disables the release of agent, and as selected in the system configuration, the activation of NAC
outputs and/or Programmable Relays. This is used when performing maintenance on the
system. When the control switch is engaged, it creates a System Supervisory condition.
Pressing the control switch momentarily toggles in and out of the disable mode.

CHAPTER 2
TESTING AND MAINTENANCE
1 MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
The Kidde AEGIS™ must be inspected, tested and maintained in accordance with the
requirements of NFPA 72 (latest edition), and/or the local Authority Having Jurisdiction
(AHJ).
Two different sources of power can be connected to the control unit. Disconnect
both sources of power and critical components such as special extinguishing
systems and relays controlling facility-power shutoff before servicing the
WARNING control unit. The control unit and associated equipment may be damaged by
connecting or disconnecting wiring while the control unit is energized.
For inspection, testing and maintenance of the associated extinguishing system, refer to the
manufacturers instructions and the standards and codes that apply to that systems.
Prior to any testing or maintenance on the AEGIS, perform the following:
1. Disable ARCs and NACs via the Output Disable control switch.
2. Physically disconnect the wiring to initiator assemblies (if used) from the release-
circuit terminals, short the leads together, and wrap the leads in insulating tape
3. Physically disconnect all control heads (if used) from their associated agent-storage-
container discharge valves
4. Physically disconnect the wiring to solenoid valves (if used) for pre-action/deluge
sprinkler systems
5. Ensure that emergency operations controlled by this system such as facility power
shutoff are bypassed
6. Notify personnel in the facility and at off-premises monitoring locations that you are
working on the system and that you will inform them when servicing has ended.
2 TESTING FREQUENCY
The frequency shall be per NFPA 72 (latest edition) stated below, or as required by the local
Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ), whichever is more stringent.
3 TESTING
3.1 Battery Status Check
7. Disconnect AC power.
8. Allow control unit to operate on the batteries for about one hour.
9. Measure the individual battery voltages. If any battery reads 1.5 V or more below its rated
voltage, that battery should be replaced.
Generally, if one of the batteries is low, the other(s) will soon fail. It is advisable to replace all
the batteries in a set when one requires replacement. Any battery that has been in service for
36 months or more must be replaced.

3.2 Battery Test
The following sequence will display the battery open circuit voltage and charge current:
1. Press and hold Acknowledge and Signal Silence control switches simultaneously for five
(5) seconds. As long as both keys are pressed, the battery voltage is displayed for three
(3) seconds, and then the battery current. These alternate every three (3) seconds.
2. The battery test will exit if either control switch is released, or if a control unit status
change occurs.
3.2.1 BATTERY VOLTAGE DISPLAY
Battery voltage will be as shown in Figure 5-1. The units are in Volts.
Figure 5-1. Battery Voltage Display
3.2.2 BATTERY CHARGE CURRENT DISPLAY
Battery charge current will be as shown in Figure 5-2. The units are in Amps.
Figure 5-2. Battery Charge Current Display
3.3 Replacing the Batteries
Before replacing batteries, disconnect AC power. Batteries should be replaced at least once
every 36 months, or as directed by the local Authority Having Jurisdiction. Do not install a
battery set whose open circuit voltage is less than 22 volts.
3.4 Lamp Test
Use the following procedures to perform the lamp/buzzer test.
1. Verify that the control unit is in normal standby mode with no alarms, troubles or
supervisory conditions.
2. Press and hold the Acknowledge control switch for a period of five (5) seconds. The LEDs
and the digital display characters will illuminate, and the buzzer will sound. This will
continue until the Acknowledge control switch is released, or there is a status change to
the control unit. This will enable malfunctioning LEDs/segments to be visually sighted.

CHAPTER 3
TROUBLESHOOTING
1 PURPOSE
This chapter provides diagnostic information, probable causes, and the method(s) to return
the Kidde AEGIS to proper operating conditions.
Prior to taking corrective action or performing any maintenance functions, you must refer
to Paragraph 5-1 and follow the instructions specified there.
2 TROUBLE DIAGNOSTICS
Diagnostics allow the operator to determine the cause of trouble. To access the diagnostic
function, the control unit needs to have at least one active trouble condition. Perform the
following:
Step Description Display Examples
1 Press and hold the Signal Silence control switch for five (5) seconds. A 3-digit
Trouble code will be displayed until the Signal Silence control switch is
released (sample on right).
2 If multiple troubles exist, the display will blink one second on, one second off,
and the trouble codes will sequence to the next code every time the display
illuminates. When all codes have been displayed, the sequence will repeat until
the Signal Silence control switch is released (sample on right).
3 TROUBLE CODES AND CORRECTIVE ACTION
Code Trouble Corrective Action
000 Microprocessor or PCB Replace the PCB.
001 Ground Check for connections to earth ground on field wiring whose removal
restores proper earth-ground offset voltage of 6.60 Vdc nominal.
002 AC Voltage below 85% Check incoming AC power.
003 Primary PSU Output Voltage Check power supply connector, from the power supply to main PCB
(PSU J2).
