Fire Alarm System
(If Installed)
General
Your fire alarm system (if installed) is on 24 hours a day, providing
continuous protection. In the event of an emergency, the installed
smoke and heat detectors will automatically send signals to your
Control/Communicator, triggering a loud, interrupted sound from the
Keypad. An interrupted sound will also be produced by optional
exterior sounders. A FIRE message will appear at your Keypad and
remain on until you silence the alarm.
In Case Of Fire Alarm
1. Should you become aware of a fire emergency before your detectors
sense the problem, go to your nearest Keypad and manually
initiate an alarm by pressing the panic key pair assigned as FIRE
emergency (if programmed by the installer) and hold down for at
least 2 seconds.
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 zone descriptor of the zone(s) in an alarm condition will
appear at the Keypad.
Silencing A Fire Alarm
1. Silence the alarm by entering your code and pressing the OFF key.
To clear the display, enter your code and press the OFF key again.
2. If the Keypad does not indicate a READY condition after the
second OFF sequence, press the READY key to display the zone(s)
that are faulted. Be sure to check that smoke detectors are not
responding to smoke or heat producing objects in their vicinity.
Should this be the case, eliminate the source of heat or smoke.
