Additional Notes for EN50131 Compliant Installations
l
The alarm system can be set/unset wth 6 or 8-digit user access codes, or using compatible wireless keyfobs. During
the setting procedure, a setting indication is provided (exit delay annunciation). The setting is prevented if an alarm,
trouble, or tamper condition exists. An indication is given if the system fails to set following the initiation of the setting
procedure. The option to override a condition that prevents setting for the respective set period is provided. Override
is possible using a valid user access code. When the system is set, a 30 second timer begins. The Armed LED on the
keypad remains on for 30 seconds. When the system is in the set state, opening the door to the entry/exit route ini-
tiates the entry procedure. The system is unset using a valid user access code or an enrolled compatible keyfob.
l
The alarm system does not support prioritization for indications.
l
Masking signals are processed as intruder signals.
7.1 Locating detectors and escape plan
The following information is for general guidance only and it is recommended that local fire codes and regulations be consulted when locating and
installing smoke and CO alarms.
Smoke Detectors
Research has shown that all hostile fires in homes generate smoke to a greater or lesser extent. Experiments with typical fires in homes indicate
that detectable quantities of smoke precede detectable levels of heat in most cases. For these reasons, smoke alarms should be installed outside of
each sleeping area and on each storey of the home.
The following information is for general guidance only and it is recommended that local fire codes and regulations be consulted when locating and
installing smoke alarms.
It is recommended that additional smoke alarms beyond those required for minimum protection be installed. Additional areas that should be
protected include: the basement; bedrooms, especially where smokers sleep; dining rooms; furnace and utility rooms; and any hallways not
protected by the required units. On smooth ceilings, detectors may be spaced 9.1m (30 feet) apart as a guide. Other spacing may be required
depending on ceiling height, air movement, the presence of joists, uninsulated ceilings, etc. Consult National Fire Alarm Code NFPA 72,
CAN/ULC-S553-02 or other appropriate national standards for installation recommendations.
