Fire Alarm System
General
Your fire alarm system (if installed) is on 24 hours a day, providing
continuous protection. In the event of an emergency, the installed
smoke and heat detectors will automatically send signals to your
Control/Communicator, triggering a loud interrupting sound from the
keypad. An interrupted sound will also be produced by optional
exterior sounders. A FIRE message will appear at your keypad and
remain on until you silence the alarm.

Should you become aware of a fire emergency before your
detectors sense the problem, go to your nearest keypad and
