3. After an Alarm
When your system raises an alarm you must
disarm
it in order to switch off
the sounders and strobes. The system keeps a record of which zone(s)
triggered the alarms, and shows the zone on the keypad display. Once you
have disarmed the system, the system must be
reset
before you can start
using it again.
Fire Alarm
The system gives a fire alarm by sounding a warbling tone from the keypads
and alarm sounder. The keypad shows the message:
*** FIRE ***
LEAVE BUILDING
1.
Evacuate the premises and call the Fire Brigade. Do not attempt to
unset the alarm.
2.
When the premises are safe, follow the instructions below.

using a keyswitch.

. Someone from your alarm company must visit the
premises to reset the system from the keypad.
