Smoke and Fire Alarms
1. If you decide to register a number of smoke alarms with a Lifeline
4000 you might wish to use the Extension Radio Trigger parameters
(see page 38) as these allow you to set location codes. This information
is likely to be of value in a large house, both to the fire brigade in the
event of a fire, and to the control centre in tracking down any faulty
alarms.
2. If you want Lifeline 4000 to call a different set of telephone numbers
when a smoke alarm is triggered then:
• See Entering the Alarm Telephone Numbers to Call in chapter 1, page 13, for
information on how to enter alarm telephone numbers to call.
• See Call Sequences on page 49 for how to program a call sequence.
• See Trigger Types and Actions on page 44 for how to select the call sequence to
use.
Temperature Monitoring
Temperature monitoring requires temperature sensing
devices that can detect when a set temperature has been
exceeded and emit a radio trigger signal. Normally, these
sensors should trigger just once when the set level is
passed. If the sensor continually transmits its signal it
will raise a false alarm when the resident returns from
being away, switches from Away to Home, thus enabling
temperature monitoring. You might also wish to consider
the following:
1. Registering radio triggers is dealt with on page 34
in the section on Triggers .
2. If you need to use a number of temperature sensors
you can use the Extension Radio Trigger parameters,
and these will also allow you to enter location
information (see page 38).
3. You might wish to set a long prealarm delay for
this sort of trigger, to allow anyone present to cancel the alarm and deal with the problem.
To adjust the prealarm delay see the Trigger Types and Actions section on page 44.
4. If either of your temperature settings are only configured during an Away state or a Home
state then you must ensure that one of the user keys is set to be an Away key (see Configuring
Keys , page 25).
5. See page 55 for further details regarding temperature monitoring.
