APX32 is not intended for UL985 Household Fire applications unless a 24-hour backup battery (P/N
LYNXRCHKIT-HC) is installed.
General
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, intermittent sound from the keypad. An intermittent sound will also be
produced by optional exterior sounders, and interlaced with the voice descriptor, sounding every 15
seconds. A “FIRE” message will appear at your keypad and remain on 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 single panic key (or panic key pair) assigned as FIRE emergency (if
programmed by the installer) and hold down for at least 2 seconds. 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 zone number of the
zone(s) in an alarm condition will appear at the keypad.

2. If the keypad indicates a trouble condition after the second OFF sequence, 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.
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:
+ OFF
key.
