QUICK FIND
®
Alarm Origination - In an

which alarm initiated the alarms to sound. The
QUICK FIND

button on any alarm until the test sequence on
this alarm begins. Release the test button. The
specific horn pattern/sequence is designated
by the alarm type. Once this test sequence
ends, the originating alarm continues to sound
for approximately 60 seconds. In a non-
interconnected installation, it is necessary to
test each alarm to determine the originating
alarm. Reset alarm as instructed below.
