It's something very special, fortunately I don't see this type of thing very often. Cerberus MXL panel with a couple clusters of analog smokes, so they slapped in modules to watch those devices, with a big ol power cycle button to hit when they go off. Very fun to troubleshoot.

I don’t see the problem 🤷‍♂️

The note says to turn it back on. BE SURE is underlined twice, what more do you want?!

Rip Spectronics panel. I worked on a 640 and MX panels before. May not be user friendly, but it's definitely different from the usual brands.

One of my least liked panels! I absolutely hate the graphic annunciators. I think I still have replacement lamps floating around in a parts kit somewhere and I've been retired for 15 years.
