Been having issues with a pair of linked Actulux SVM controllers.
If the fire alarm is triggered the controllers show 'Alarm' and the AOVs open as expected.
After the alarm is cancelled and the fire panel is reset, one of the SVM controllers goes back to normal, the other stays in 'Alarm'. Pressing the 'close' button on the remote panel closes the AOVs controlled by the controller which has returned to normal.
To close all the AOVs both controllers need to be opened up, powered off, back up batteries disconnected, batteries and power reconnected, and both reset buttons pressed to take the controller out of 'Alarm'. At this point the local close button on the controller will partially close the AOVs. Pressing the local open button and then quickly pressing close will now fully close the AOVs.
As getting the AOVs closed has taken more time than our schedule allows we've had to leave the AOVs open and finish the test route before returning. This lets the weather in so the LL has been asking for the AOVs to be disabled - the building contractor sent to do this job only turned off the mains!
If the 'open' button on the remote panel is pressed the controllers go into 'alarm' and the same process is required to close the AOVs as if the fire alarm had been triggered.
Does anyone know anything about these controllers and or this kind of system who could point me in the right direction?
TIA

- TL;DR
- Actulux SVM controller doesn't come out of 'Alarm'. Help!
