Fire Alarm System
Your fire alarm system (if installed) is on 24 hours a day, providing continuous
protection. In the event of an emergency, the smoke and heat detectors
automatically send signals to your Control, triggering a loud interrupting sound
from the keypad and the optional exterior sounders. FIRE appears at your
keypad and remains on until you silence the alarm.
In Case Of Fire Alarm
1. Should you become aware of a fire emergency before your detectors sense
the problem, go to your nearest keypad and manually initiate an alarm by
pressing the panic key assigned as FIRE emergency (if programmed by the
installer) and hold down for at least 2 seconds.
2. Evacuate all occupants from the premises.
3. If flames and/or smoke are present, leave the premises and notify your local
Fire Department immediately.
4. If no flames or smoke are apparent, investigate the cause of the alarm. The
descriptor of the zone(s) in alarm appears at the keypad.
Silencing a Fire Alarm
1. Silence the keypad by entering your code and pressing the
OFF
key. This
may or may not also silence the fire bells. A second entry may be required,
depending on system programming. To clear the display, enter your code
and press the
OFF
key again
2. If the keypad does not indicate a
READY
condition after the second
OFF
sequence, press the
READY
key to display the zone(s) that are faulted. Be
sure to check that smoke detectors are not responding to smoke or heat
producing objects in their vicinity. Should this be the case, eliminate the
source of heat or smoke.
3. If this does not remedy the problem, there may still be smoke in the detector.
Clear it by fanning the detector for about 30 seconds.
4. You can clear the display by entering your code + the
OFF
key.
