  Evacuate all occupants from the premises following your prearranged fire evacuation plan 

immediately. 

 Call 

9-1-1 

 

When a Fire Alarm Occurs:

 

  The sounder(s) will pulse on and off every 2 seconds. 

  After 30 seconds of the Fire Alarm, a central station report will be generated. 

Silencing Fire Alarms and Clearing Memory of Alarm 

  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).

 

  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.

 

  If this des 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. 

 

 

Smoke Detector Reset 

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 + 1 

OFF

 

 

Programming Security Codes 

It is our recommendation to have us perform this service for you from our offices. This way our 
Central Station will have a record of all authorized users of the system in the case of a false alarm. 
We are pleased to assist you with security codes at no charge during normal business hours.  
 

When you want to change arm/disarm codes: 

1.  Call 

ATP

 Alarms at  1-8

88­903­8803 in Florida or 1­888­348­0050 in New England

2.  The office will tell you what to do next. 

 

 
Arming Difficulty 

If the system will not arm, it is probably due to one of the following reasons: 
 

  An incorrect security code has been entered. 

o

  The display will continue to read 

AC

 

o

  If you have entered the wrong code simply enter the correct security code.  

 

  A correct code is entered but the system was not ready (a door or window was open). 

o

  The keypad will emit one beep 

o

  The display will display a 

NOT READY

 message. 

o

  This is a feature designed to prevent you from arming into an alarm. 

o

  Check to make sure everything is closed. 

o

  If you are unable to secure the system, call

ATP
