ADT Security Services 8112 manual Silencing Fire Alarms

Fire Alarms

Fire alarms are the highest priority events. When a fire point activates, your command center emits a pulsating high-pitched fire tone. Evacuate all occupants and investigate for smoke or fire. Ensure that all occupants know the difference between the burglary tone and the fire tone. The tone sounds for the time set by your security company.

The command center display shows the point text of the first point that went into fire alarm. Press the NEXT key to manually display additional points (if any) that went into alarm. Events scroll from the oldest to the newest.

Silencing Fire Alarms

Entering a personal passcode with the proper authority level silences a fire alarm and disarms the system if it was armed. The system will now display ALARM SILENCED and then the number of points in alarm (A1 ## FIRE ALARM) and the custom text of all the points in alarm, in the order of occurrence. Your system

may be programmed so that you cannot silence some fire alarms until the fire event clears. Entering COMMAND 4 clears the scrolling point text from the display. The ALARM SILENCED message will continue to scroll as a reminder that it is still possible to view the text of the points in alarm by using the View Memory function. See VIEW MEMORY ? (Command 40) for more information. To clear the event memory and remove the ALARM SILENCED message from the display, enter a valid passcode and press the ESC key, or re-arm the area.

If a fire trouble still exists, the display shows FIRE TROUBLE. To remove this display, the fire point(s) must be returned to normal. If you wish to review cleared events, use COMMAND 40.
