Hate to think how many times after a Fire Lite MS-2 or MS-4 panel goes into alarm some one try's to reset the panel who is not familiar with it or is not authorized in first place and end up bypassing zones leaving a building with out full protection.
Because of the confusing way buttons are on the panel .
People see the Alarm Silence Button and instead of hitting the red button with silence on it they hit the number 2# button not realizing they just bypassed Zone 2# because they don't read the panel legend and they are hurrying to silence the panel.
What makes it even worse many of these small panels are not being monitored so it can go days before some one gets notified there is a problem because the trouble lights are often ignored.
This panel needs a redesign because sooner or later their is going to be a major fire allowed to spread because the zones where unknowingly bypassed and trouble signal ignored
