SMOKE, HEAT AND FREEZE PROTECTION
Your
residential
system
should
be
installed
with
Smoke,
Heat,
and
Freeze
alarms
as
well
as
Carbon
Monoxide
detectors
as
a
part
of
an
overall
fire,
heat,
and
gas
protection
system.
Fire
protection
is
active
24
hours
a
day,
365
days
a
year.
NOTE:
In
Turkey,
systems
are
installed
with
Smoke/Heat
alarms.
In
the
event
of
a
fire
or
poisonous
CO
gas
emergency,
the
installed
smoke
or
carbon
monoxide
detector
automatically
activates
your
security
system.
Not
only
will
the
fire
alarm
itself
emit
a
loud
sound,
the
Control
Panel
emits
an
intermittent
and
loud
horn
on
an
external
sounder
(if
an
external
sounder
has
been
installed).
The
fire
alarm
sound
continues
until
the
timer
expires
on
the
Fire
Alarm
or
until
you
enter
a
user
code
at
the
Control
Panel.
If
the
Alarm
Sounds:
•
Get
out
and
stay
out.
Never
go
back
inside
for
people
or
pets.
•
If
you
have
to
escape
through
smoke,
get
down
low
and
go
under
the
smoke.
•
Call
the
fire
department
from
outside
your
home.
