13.0 Fire and Burglar Alarms
13.1 Standard Fire Zone
During a fire alarm, the bell/siren emits an intermittent sound (
BEEP
-
BEEP
-
BEEP
) until
silenced or reset. If the zone is a Standard Fire Zone, your system can immediately send
an alert to your monitoring station.
To disarm a false alarm:
1. Enter your [
ACCESS CODE
] on the keypad.
2. Call your monitoring station quickly to advise them of the false alarm.
The Fire Zone may reset itself once the problem has cleared. If it does not,
simultaneously press and hold the [
CLEAR
] and [
ENTER
] buttons for two
seconds.
13.2 Delayed Fire Zone
If the zone is a Delayed Fire Zone, there is an automatic delay before your system
contacts your monitoring station. Refer to Figure 7 on page 27 to prevent unnecessary
reporting of false alarms.
If the fire alarm is accidentally triggered:
1. Press the [
CLEAR
] button within 30 seconds of the alarm.
2. Clear the problem from the area (i.e. clear the smoke from around the smoke
detector).
3. If the problem remains after 90 seconds, the alarm will sound again. Press [
CLEAR
]
again.
4. The system will delay reporting the alert for another 30 seconds.
If you are unable to cancel the false alarm, your system will send an alert. Call
your monitoring station to advise them of the false alarm.
The Fire Zone may reset itself once the smoke has cleared. If it does not,
simultaneously press and hold the [
CLEAR
] and [
ENTER
] buttons for two
seconds or speak to your installer.
13.3 Fire Safety Tips
How should you prepare in case of a fire in your home or business?
• Remind everyone to escape first, and then call for help.
• Develop a fire escape plan and designate a meeting place outside.
• Practice the escape plan frequently.
• Plan two ways to escape from every room, if possible.
• Practice feeling the way out with eyes closed.
• Instruct everyone never to stand up during a fire, always crawl under the smoke and
keep mouths covered.
• Instruct everyone never to return to a burning building for any reason; it may cost
them their life.
• Check smoke alarms regularly. Working smoke alarms dramatically increase
everyone's chances of surviving a fire.
