Bosch Appliances DS7400XI, DS7445I Operating Guide, Emergency Procedures, Fire Reset/Fire Trouble

7.0Operating Guide

For additional information on operating this system, consult the DS7400Xi (Ver. 4+) User’s Guide (P/N: 43851) and the front cover of this Reference Guide.

7.1Emergency Procedures

7.1.1 Identifying Alarm Sounds

Your alarm system may 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.

7.1.2 Silencing Alarms

All alarms can be silenced with any PIN that has disarm privileges. Entering your [PIN]+ [Off] will silence the alarm and turn off (disarm) the control.

7.1.3 A Cautionary Note

How you respond to an alarm will depend, mostly, on the type and time of the alarm. You should seek the advice of your installing company as they install your system, not later (e.g. after an alarm) to develop a response plan.

7.2Fire Reset/Fire Trouble

7.2.1 Fire Reset

During a fire alarm, exit the premises immediately. When you have determined there is no fire, you may silence the bells/sirens before you initiate the [System Reset] command: [PIN] + [System Reset]. Before the [System Reset] command is used, determine which smoke detector has alarmed so the monitoring company may verify its operation.

NOTE: To use the System Reset command sequence, your PIN must have disarm privileges. The System Reset com- mand will perform a fire reset, a battery test, and will clear all system troubles.

NOTE: If the System Reset command has not been performed after 24 hours of the Fire Alarm, the keypad will sound and it will display “Fire Alarm Not Reset.” If the sounders have been silenced and the system has been reset prop- erly, this warning will not occur.

7.1.4 Use Common Sense

Above all else, common sense should prevail. If there is any threat or hint of danger to yourself or others on the premises, such as in the event of a fire alarm, everyone should be instructed to leave the premises immediately. Do not enter the premises unless accompanied by the appropriate Emergency Services’ personnel, or after they have given the OK to enter.

7.1.5 Caution When Entering a Building

If the bells and sirens are on and/or the red Armed Light is flashing with the DS7447/DS7447E display reading “Zone Alarm” or the DS7445/DS7445i having its zone LEDs flashing, then the keypad is signaling that an alarm has occurred. The keypad will also issue a pulsed tone during the entry delay instead of the usual steady tone.

If the alarm has not been previously investigated, do not enter the building unless accompanied by the appropriate Emergency Services’ personnel.

7.1.6 Fire Alarms

Fire Alarms are silenced using the same procedure as intrusion alarms: a [PIN] (with disarm privileges) plus the [Off] key.

The Fire Alarm system is not reset until alarms at smoke detectors are cleared by using the [System Reset] command. The Fire Alarm system will not be functional until this procedure has been followed. See the “Fire Reset” section, 7.2.

7.2.2 Fire Trouble

A Fire Trouble message with a zone number signifies a problem with the fire system, such as a break in the wiring that monitors smoke detectors. A Fire Trouble message with no zone number indicates a ground fault if the unit is in the commercial fire mode. A Fire Trouble will be indicated by a short beep from the keypad sounders every 10 seconds. The DS7447/DS7447E will display “Fire Trouble” followed by the zones in a trouble condition. The DS7445/DS7445i will turn the Fire and Trouble Lights on steady and will light the corresponding zone LEDs.

Notify your installing company immediately if the Fire Trouble message is displayed.

The Fire Trouble beep can be silenced with any [PIN] plus the [Off] key. After problems have been remedied, a [PIN] plus the [Off] key should again be entered to clear the “Fire Trouble” display.

7.2.3 Dirty Smoke

A Dirty Smoke display, followed by a zone number and accompanied by a beep every ten seconds indicates that the smoke detector for that zone requires cleaning or replacement. The smoke detector will also give a Dirty indication by flashing its LED once per second. The Dirty Smoke beep can be silenced by any [PIN] plus the [Off] key.

Notify your installing company immediately if the Dirty Smoke message is displayed.

7.3Emergency Keypad Alarms

The Emergency Alarm Keys [A], [B], and [C] may generate Fire, Special Emergency, and Panic Alarms if programmed by the installer.

Ask your installing company to explain the function of these keys.

When using the Emergency Keys, they must be pressed for two seconds to generate an alarm.

The A key should be labeled as the Fire key. This is the only key that may be designated as the Fire key. The B key should be labeled as the Special Emergency key.

The C key should be labeled as the Panic key.

Use the Disarming Command Sequence to cancel or silence these alarms.
