Providing a Fire Warning System
Household fires are especially dangerous at night. Fires
produce smoke and deadly gases that can overcome
occupants while they sleep. To warn against fire, smoke
detectors should be installed outside each separate
sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms
and on each additional story of the family living unit,
including basements.
7.0 TESTING & MAINTENANCE
With the system disarmed and the “
READY
” Light on, activate
motion detectors by walking in the protected area. Open and
close protected doors and verify that the corresponding button
illuminates. Your installer can advise you of the best way to
test your particular system.
Do not use open flame or burning materials to test your fire
detection devices. Contact your installer for safe methods
of testing your system.
Under normal use, your system requires virtually no
maintenance other than regular testing. It is recommended
that the standby battery be changed every three years.
Speak to your installer about the necessary tests and at
what frequency they should be performed.
