Fire Alarm System (cont’d)

Fire Display Lock

If several zones produce an alarm before any are silenced, the system can be programmed to lock the keypad display with the first zone that produced an alarm. Ask your installer if your system has been activated with this feature.

To display the other zone(s), press the [*] key for each zone. Also the “A”, “B”, or “C” keys can be programmed to scroll the keypad display to view the previous or subsequent fire alarms.

Fire Drill Test (Code + # + 69)

This test causes Notification Appliance Circuits to be activated (in either steady or pulsing manner as programmed in the system), for the purpose of conducting a fire drill or a bell test. This can only be activated by the installer or a master user from Partition 1 keypads as follows:

1.Enter the corresponding security code and press [#} + 69 (make sure the burglary portion of the system is disarmed). Keypads will display “FIRE DRILL ACTIVE” while the test is active.

2.The test may be stopped by entering any security code and pressing OFF.

NOTE: The system continues to monitor all 24 hour zones (fire, panic, etc.), while this test is active, and will end the test when an alarm condition is detected. This test should be conducted at periodic intervals as determined by the local authority having jurisdiction.
