7.0Emergency Procedures
7.1Identifying Alarm Sounds
Your alarm system might be programmed for a steady alarm sound or a pulsed alarm sound. It is important to learn the difference between a fire alarm sound and an intrusion alarm sound before you are confronted with an actual emergency.
7.2Silencing Alarms
All alarms can be silenced with a PIN that has disarm privileges. Enter your [PIN][Off] (or [PIN][#] from an RF3341 keypad) to silence the alarm and turn off (disarm) the control panel.
7.3A Cautionary Note
How you respond to an alarm depends, mostly, on the type and time of the alarm. You should seek the advice of your installing company as it installs your system, not later (that is, after an alarm) to develop a response plan.
If there is any threat or hint of danger to yourself or others in the building, such as in the event of a fire alarm, instruct everyone to leave immediately. Do not enter the building unless accompanied by the appropriate Emergency Services' personnel, or after they have given the OK to enter.
7.4Caution When Entering a Building
An alarm occurred if one or more of these conditions is true:
•The bells and sirens are on
•The red Armed LED is flashing and the text keypad displays “Zone Alarm”
•One or more of the LED keypad’s zone LEDs are flashing.
The wired keypad also issues a pulsed tone during the entry delay instead of the usual steady tone.
The RF3341 Keypads do not indicate that an alarm is occurring or has occurred. With these keypads, you must rely on signals from other system devices to notify you of an alarm.
If the alarm was not investigated, do not enter the building unless accompanied by the appropriate Emergency Services’ personnel.
7.5Fire Alarms
Fire alarms are silenced by entering a [PIN] (with disarm privileges) the [Off] key. The fire alarm system is not reset until smoke detectors alarms are cleared by using the [System Reset] command. The fire alarm system is not functional until this procedure has been followed. Refer to Fire Reset below.
7.6Fire Reset
During a fire alarm, exit the building immediately. When it is determined there is no fire, you must silence the bells and sirens before you can initiate the [System Reset] command.
[PIN][System Reset]
Before using the [System Reset] command, identify which smoke detector alarmed so the monitoring company can verify its operation.
Although you can silence alarms from an RF3341 Keypad, you cannot reset the system from an RF3341 Keypad.
Enter a [PIN] and press the [System Reset] key to reset any smoke detectors after a fire alarm occurs.
To use the System Reset command sequence, your PIN must have disarm privileges.
The System Reset command performs a fire reset, a battery test, and clears all system troubles.
7.7Fire Trouble
A Fire Trouble message with a zone number identifies a problem with the fire system, such as a break in the wiring that monitors smoke detectors. If the system is in Commercial Fire Mode, a fire trouble message with no zone number indicates a ground fault.
A fire trouble is indicated by a short beep from the keypad sounders every 10 seconds. The text keypad displays “Fire Trouble” followed by the zones in a trouble condition. The LED keypad lights the Fire and Trouble LEDs steady and lights the corresponding zone LEDs.
The RF3341 Keypad cannot indicate a Fire Trouble condition.
Notify your installing company immediately if the fire trouble message is displayed.
