b.
Evacuation alarm silencing switch which when activated will
silence all alarm notification appliances without resetting the

alarm(s) from additional zone(s) not originally in alarm shall
cause activation of the notification appliances even with the
alarm silencing switch in the "silenced" position.
c.
Individual zone disconnect switches which when operated will
disable only their respective initiating circuit and cause
operation of the system and zone trouble signals.
d.
Reset switch which when activated will restore the system to
normal standby status after the cause of the alarm has been
corrected, and all activated initiating devices reset. Operation
of reset switch shall restore activated smoke detectors to normal
standby status.
e.
Lamp test switch.
[f.
Drill switch which will enable test of notification appliances
and restoration to normal without tripping the master box.]
