First Alert FA134OC-UL Home Security System User Manual


 
General
Congratulations on your ownership of a First Alert Professional Partitioned Security
System. You’ve made a wise decision in choosing it, for it represents the latest in
security protection technology today.
This system offers you three forms of protection: burglary, fire and emergency. Your
system consists of at least one Keypad which provides full control of system operation,
various sensors which provide perimeter and interior burglary protection, plus smoke or
combustion detectors designed to provide early warning in case of fire.
The system uses microcomputer technology to monitor all protection zones and system
status and provides appropriate information for display on the Keypad(s) used with the
system, and initiates appropriate alarms. Your system may also have been
programmed to automatically transmit alarm or status messages over the phone lines to
a central alarm monitoring station.
A Partitioned
Simply stated, a partitioned system is a single physical alarm system that provides
System independent areas of protection intended for use by independent users. For the most
part, you as a user need not know about other users and their structure in the system,
but from time to time, you may see display messages which indicate the system is in
use by another user. Do not be concerned, this is normal. Refer to the ACCESS/h/G
OTHER PARTITIONS section for additional information.
Zones Your system’s sensing devices have been assigned to various “zones.” For example,
the sensing device on your Entry/Exit door may have been assigned to zone 01,
sensing devices on windows in the master bedroom to zone 02, and so on. These
numbers will appear on the display, along with an alpha descriptor for that zone (if
programmed), when an alarm or trouble condition occurs.
