7.0 Emergency Procedures
7.1 Identifying Alarm Sounds
Your alarm system might be programmed for a steady
alarm sound or a pulsed alarm sound. It is important to
learn the difference between a fire alarm sound and an
intrusion alarm sound before you are confronted with
an actual emergency.
7.2 Silencing Alarms
All alarms can be silenced with a PIN that has disarm
privileges. Enter your [PIN][Off] (or [PIN][#] from an
RF3341 keypad) to silence the alarm and turn off
(disarm) the control panel.
7.3 A Cautionary Note
How you respond to an alarm depends, mostly, on the
type and time of the alarm. You should seek the advice
of your installing company as it installs your system,
not later (that is, after an alarm) to develop a response
plan.
If there is any threat or hint of danger to yourself or
others in the building, such as in the event of a fire
alarm, instruct everyone to leave immediately. Do not
enter the building unless accompanied by the
appropriate Emergency Services' personnel, or after
they have given the OK to enter.
7.4 Caution When Entering a Building
An alarm occurred if one or more of these conditions is
true:
• The bells and sirens are on
• The red Armed LED is flashing and the text
keypad displays “Zone Alarm”
• One or more of the LED keypad’s zone LEDs are
flashing.
The wired keypad also issues a pulsed tone during the
entry delay instead of the usual steady tone.
The RF3341 Keypads do not indicate that
an alarm is occurring or has occurred. With
these keypads, you must rely on signals
from other system devices to notify you of
an alarm.
If the alarm was not investigated, do not enter the
building unless accompanied by the appropriate
Emergency Services’ personnel.
7.5 Fire Alarms
Fire alarms are silenced by entering a [PIN] (with
disarm privileges) the [Off] key. The fire alarm system
is not reset until smoke detectors alarms are cleared by
using the [System Reset] command. The fire alarm
system is not functional until this procedure has been
followed. Refer to Fire Reset below.
7.6 Fire Reset
During a fire alarm, exit the building immediately.
When it is determined there is no fire, you must silence
the bells and sirens before you can initiate the [System
Reset] command.
[PIN][System Reset]
Before using the [System Reset] command, identify
which smoke detector alarmed so the monitoring
company can verify its operation.
Although you can silence alarms from an
RF3341 Keypad, you cannot reset the
system from an RF3341 Keypad.
Enter a [PIN] and press the [System Reset] key to reset
any smoke detectors after a fire alarm occurs.
To use the System Reset command
sequence, your PIN must have disarm
privileges.
The System Reset command performs a fire reset, a
battery test, and clears all system troubles.
7.7 Fire Trouble
A Fire Trouble message with a zone number identifies
a problem with the fire system, such as a break in the
wiring that monitors smoke detectors. If the system is
in Commercial Fire Mode, a fire trouble message with
no zone number indicates a ground fault.
A fire trouble is indicated by a short beep from the
keypad sounders every 10 seconds. The text keypad
displays “Fire Trouble” followed by the zones in a
trouble condition. The LED keypad lights the Fire and
Trouble LEDs steady and lights the corresponding
zone LEDs.
The RF3341 Keypad cannot indicate a Fire
Trouble condition.
Notify your installing company immediately if the fire
trouble message is displayed.
