Fire Alarm System

THIS SECTION APPLIES ONLY TO RESIDENTIAL SYSTEMS

General Your fire alarm system (if installed) is on 24 hours a day, for continuous protection. In the event of an emergency, the strategically located smoke and heat detectors will sound their alarms and automatically send signals to your system, triggering a loud, interrupted pulsed sound* from the Keypad(s) and any external sounders. A FIRE message will appear at your Keypad and remain on until you silence the alarm (see below for silencing fire alarms).

*Temporal pulse sounding is produced for Fire alarms, as follows: 3 pulses–pause–3 pulses–pause–3 pulses–pause. . . , repeated.

Smoke Detector Reset

1.You can silence the alarm at any time by pressing the OFF key (the security code is not needed to silence fire alarms). To clear the display, enter your code and press the OFF key again (to clear Memory of Alarm).

2.If the Keypad's FIRE display does not clear after the second OFF sequence, smoke detectors may still be responding to smoke or heat producing objects in their vicinity. Investigate, and 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.

When the problem has been corrected, clear the display by entering your code and pressing the OFF key.

Depending on the type of smoke detectors in your system, it may be necessary to "reset" the smoke detectors after a fire alarm has been turned off. Check with your installer. This "reset" is accomplished at a keypad, as follows:

Enter Security Code ( except “arm only” user), then press the [1] key.

NOTE: During smoke detector reset, “FAULT xx” appears (about six seconds) and should disappear if the detector is clear.
