ReadyGuard-REN is not intended for UL985 Household Fire applications unless a 24-hour
backup battery (P/N LYNXRCHKIT-HC) is installed.
General
Your fire alarm system (if installed) is active 24 hours a day, providing continuous protection. In the event
of an emergency, the installed smoke and heat detectors will automatically activate your security system,
triggering a loud, intermittent sound from the keypad. An intermittent sound will also be produced by
optional exterior sounders, and interlaced with the voice descriptor, sounding every 15 seconds. A “FIRE”
message will appear at your keypad and remain on until you silence and clear the alarm display.
In Case of Fire
1. Should you become aware of a fire emergency
before
your detectors sense the problem, go to your
nearest keypad and press the single panic key (or panic key pair) assigned as FIRE emergency (if
programmed by the installer) and hold down for at least 2 seconds. The alarm will sound.
2. Evacuate all occupants from the premises.
3. If flames and/or smoke are present, leave the premises and notify your local Fire Department
immediately.
4. If no flames or smoke are apparent, investigate the cause of the alarm. The zone number of the zone(s)
in an alarm condition will appear at the keypad.

2. If the keypad indicates a trouble condition after the second OFF sequence, check that smoke detectors
are not responding to smoke- or heat-producing objects in their vicinity. Should this be the case,
eliminate the source of heat or smoke.
3. If this does not remedy the problem, there may still be smoke in the detector. Clear it by fanning the
detector for about 30 seconds.
4. When the problem has been corrected, clear the display by entering

key.
