Fire Alarm System
Your fire alarm system (if installed) is on 24 hours a day, providing continuous
protection. In the event of an emergency, the smoke and heat detectors automatically
send signals to your Control, triggering a loud interrupting sound from the keypad
and the optional exterior sounders. FIRE appears at your keypad and remains on
until you silence the alarm.
NOTES:
• All smoke detectors must be tested monthly by pressing the TEST button located on
the detector. Be aware that your keypad(s) and local siren(s) will activate (enter
your 4-digit code + [Off] to silence). If your system is monitored by a central station
you must first call the central station to advise them that a test is in progress. If the
TEST button does not cause the detector to activate it must be replaced
immediately.
• Ask your installer if your system is programmed for fire alarm verification, which
can help reduce false alarms from smoke detectors.
In Case Of Fire Alarm
1. Should you become aware of a fire emergency before your detectors sense the
problem, go to your nearest keypad and manually initiate an alarm by pressing
the panic key assigned as FIRE emergency (if programmed by the installer) and
hold down for at least 2 seconds.
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
descriptor of the zone(s) in alarm appears at the keypad.
Silencing a Fire Alarm
1. Silence the alarm by entering your code and pressing the OFF key. To clear the
display, enter your code and press the OFF key again
2. If the keypad does not indicate a READY condition after the second OFF
sequence, press the READY key to display the faulted zone(s). Be sure to 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. You can clear the display by entering your code + the OFF key.
