Minimizing Home Fire Hazards
How can you avoid the three most common causes of fires at home?
•
Never leave cooking food unattended. It is the leading cause of
fire injuries. Cooking fires often result from unattended cooking
and human error, rather than mechanical failure.
•
Stay alert when smoking. Careless smoking is the leading cause
of fire deaths. Smoke detectors and smoulder-resistant bedding
and upholstered furniture are significant fire deterrents.
•
Maintain your heating system. Faulty heating systems are the
second leading cause of residential fires.
Panic Alarms
Your system can be programmed to send an alarm to your monitoring
station to request help from the police, a medical facility*, the fire
department or anyone you wish when you press a pre-determined
combination of keys on Magellan’s main keypad. To generate a panic
alarm, simultaneously press and hold the key combinations displayed in
Figure 4 on page 17. Your installer can program the alarm to be either
silent or audible.
* Programming your system to send an alarm to your Central Monitoring
Station requesting help from a medical facility is not permitted in UL
installations.
