SYSTEM OVERVIEW
General Congratulations on your ownership of an First Alert Alarm System. You've made
a wise decision in choosing it, for it represents the latest in alarm protection
technology today, including microcomputer technology to monitor all system
status.
Your system is a UL Listed commercial fire alarm control/communicator. It
monitors, on an around-the clock basis, the various fire alarm warning,
emergency alarm warning and fire sprinkler system supervisory sensors that
have been installed in your system. When the control detects an alarm,
supervisory, or trouble condition, it automatically triggers an on-premises warning
indication and transmits a message to a central station over the telephone line so
that appropriate action can be taken.
The control features a built-in warning buzzer and LED indicators which provide
the on-premises warning indication. In addition, your system may include an
optional remote keypad and/or optional external alarm warning sounders which
will provide additional on-premises warning indications. Please disregard
references to these devices in the text that follows, if they were not installed in
your system.
Zones
Your system has five protection zones. Your installer has assigned each of your
system's sensing devices to one of these zones. For example, warehouse smoke
detectors may have been assigned to zone 01, a fire sprinkler water valve
supervisory switch may have been assigned to zone 02, etc.. If a remote keypad
was installed in your system, it will display these zone numbers when an alarm,
supervisory or trouble condition is detected, so that the nature and location of the
fault can be pinpointed.
