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.

NOTE: 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.

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.

Fire Display Lock

If several zones produce an alarm before any are silenced, the system can be programmed to lock the keypad display with the first zone that produced an alarm. Ask your installer if your system has been activated with this feature.

To display the other zone(s), press the [*] key for each zone.
