Paging Feature

Automatic Paging

If the Paging feature has been programmed for your system, your pager will respond to certain conditions as they occur in your system by displaying a message that indicates the type of condition that has occurred. The message appears in a 7-digit format explained below. The system can also be programmed to send up to 16 additional digits that will appear in front of the 7-digit message. These 16 digits may consist of a PIN number or special digits needed by the pager, account number, pauses, or any other special characters you may choose (for example, you may want to use a special character code to distinguish between security system messages and usual pager messages). See your installer if these additional characters are desired.

Code Format

The Pager Code takes the following form:

(AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA) EEE-00NN

AAA… = Optional 16 digits, programmed by your installer.

EEE = 3-digit number describing the event that has occurred, as follows:

911 = Alarm (00NN following indicates the zone that caused the alarm) 101 = Open, system disarmed (00NN following indicates user number)

102 = Close, system armed (00NN following indicates user number)

811 = Trouble (00NN following indicates the zone that caused the trouble) 00NN = First two digits are always 00, followed by 2-digit user or zone number, depending on the type of event that occurred. If NN = 00, it can mean an AC loss has occurred, the system battery is low, or a 5827/5827BD wireless

keypad battery is low. The Master Keypad will indicate the specific condition.

Examples:

Pager displays:

911–0004

This indicates your system is reporting an alarm (911) due to a fault on zone 4 (0004).

Pager displays:

101–0005

This indicates that your system is reporting an open/disarm (101) by user 5 (0005).

Manual Paging

In addition, your system may have been programmed to send a unique pager message

when the

AUX

key is pressed (see AUX FUNCTION section for alternate function of this

key). The actual message sent is 999-9999 (the hyphen may not appear, depending on your pager service). This code can be used to alert the person with the pager to whatever meaning you pre-arrange (e.g., “call home”). Ask your installer if this has been done for your system.

To manually send the pager message, if programmed:

AUX

(hold until 4 beeps sound)

N8891-1 specifications

The First Alert N8891-1 is a technologically advanced smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) alarm that exemplifies safety and efficiency for modern homes. Designed to provide comprehensive protection against two of the most hazardous threats in residential environments, this device is engineered with an array of features that enhance its functionality and user-friendliness.

One of the standout features of the N8891-1 is its dual-sensor technology. This method combines both photoelectric and ionization sensing capabilities, allowing the alarm to effectively detect a wide range of fire types. Photoelectric sensors are particularly effective for smoldering fires, which may produce more smoke and take longer to ignite, while ionization sensors quickly respond to flaming fires. This combination ensures that users receive timely warnings, enhancing safety and increasing the chances of escape.

The First Alert N8891-1 is also equipped with a unique, easy-to-read digital display that provides real-time data about CO levels in the home. This feature is crucial, as carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas that can be extremely harmful, if not fatal. The display not only indicates the current CO level but also provides users with alerts in case of an emergency or when the battery is low.

In addition to its advanced sensing capabilities, the N8891-1 includes a 10-year sealed battery, eliminating the need for frequent battery replacements and ensuring long-lasting performance. This feature provides peace of mind, knowing that the device will remain operational without the hassle of upkeep.

Another important characteristic is the alarm’s ability to interlink with other compatible smoke alarms in the household. When one alarm detects smoke or CO, all linked units will sound off, creating a synchronized response that further enhances safety throughout the home.

Furthermore, the First Alert N8891-1 is designed with user convenience in mind, featuring a single button for both testing the alarm and silencing false alarms, which can often occur when cooking or from other non-threatening sources.

Overall, the First Alert N8891-1 stands out as a reliable and sophisticated choice for those seeking to enhance their home’s safety features with a dual-function smoke and carbon monoxide detector that seamlessly combines advanced technology, ease of use, and sustainability.
