Fire Alarm System
(If Installed)
General Information
Your fire alarm system (if installed) is active 24 hours a day, providing
continuous protection. In the event of an emergency, the installed smoke and
heat detectors will automatically activate your security system, triggering a
loud, interrupted sound from the keypad. Optional exterior sounders will also
produce an interrupted sound. Your keypad will display a
FIRE
message (with
zone location) until you silence and clear the alarm display.
In Case of Fire
1. Should you become aware of a fire emergency
before
your detectors sense the
problem, go to your nearest keypad and press the panic key pair assigned as
FIRE emergency (if programmed by the installer). The alarm will sound.
2. Evacuate all occupants from the premises.
3. If flames and/or smoke are present, leave the premises and notify your local
fire department immediately.
4. If no flames or smoke are apparent, investigate the cause of the
alarm.
The
keypad will display the zone descriptor of the zone(s) in an alarm condition.
Silencing a Fire Alarm
1.
Silence the alarm by pressing the
1
OFF
key.
To clear the alarm display, enter your security code and press the
1
OFF
key again.
2. If the keypad indicates a trouble condition after the second OFF sequence,
check smoke detectors to see if they are responding to smoke or heat-
producing objects in their vicinity. 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.
4. When the problem has been corrected, clear the display by entering your
code and pressing the
1
OFF
key.
