RB6741-Z Touchscreen Security System User Manual
Learn your security system. Get to know how to arm and disarm it and what to do when
the authorities or central monitoring calls.
Make sure everyone (who should know) knows the Secret Word, when to use it, and that
it should not be shared.
Understand the difference between your keypad code and the duress code.
Understand that you should never enter the premises if you hear an alarm. Call police
from a cell phone or a neighbor’s phone.
Smoke Detector Installation Recommendations
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends the following for the number
and placement of smoke detectors.
Place smoke alarms as follows:
In every bedroom, in hallways, and on every level of the premises, including the attic and
basement.
High on a wall or on a ceiling (because smoke rises).
If a smoke detector is placed on a ceiling, position at least 4 inches (10.2 cm) from the
wall.
Be careful about placing smoke detectors within 20 feet of a cooking appliance.
Smoke alarms are an important part of a home fire escape plan.
For maintaining your smoke detector:
Test alarms at least monthly by pushing the test button.
Replace batteries in all smoke alarms at least once a year. If an alarm “chirps,” warning
the battery is low, replace battery right away.
Replace all smoke alarms when they are ten years old or sooner if they do not respond
properly when tested.
Additionally we recommend:
Maintain a 3 foot (about 1 meter) distance from air supply and return vents.
DO NOT install smoke detectors in a garage or near furnaces.
Install at least 6 m (20 ft) away from kitchens or other areas where combustion particles
are present.
Install smoke detectors at least 2.5 m (8 ft) away from bathrooms.
DO NOT install in dirty, dusty, or insect infested areas.
