ADT Security Services 8112 Home Security System User Manual


 
Fire Alarms
Fire alarms are the highest priority events. When a fire
point activates, your command center emits a pulsating
high-pitched fire tone. Evacuate all occupants and
investigate for smoke or fire. Ensure that all occupants
know the difference between the burglary tone and the
fire tone. The tone sounds for the time set by your
security company.
The command center display shows the point text of the
first point that went into fire alarm. Press the NEXT
key to manually display additional points (if any) that
went into alarm. Events scroll from the oldest to the
newest.
Silencing Fire Alarms
Entering a personal passcode with the proper authority
level silences a fire alarm and disarms the system if it
was armed. The system will now display ALARM
SILENCED and then the number of points in alarm
(A1 ## FIRE ALARM) and the custom text of all the
points in alarm, in the order of occurrence. Your system
may be programmed so that you cannot silence some
fire alarms until the fire event clears. Entering
COMMAND 4 clears the scrolling point text from the
display. The ALARM SILENCED message will
continue to scroll as a reminder that it is still possible
to view the text of the points in alarm by using the
View Memory function. See VIEW MEMORY ?
(Command 40) for more information. To clear the
event memory and remove the ALARM SILENCED
message from the display, enter a valid passcode and
press the ESC key, or re-arm the area.
If a fire trouble still exists, the display shows FIRE
TROUBLE. To remove this display, the fire point(s)
must be returned to normal. If you wish to review
cleared events, use COMMAND 40.
