System Overview (cont’d)
Carbon Monoxide Protection
Carbon monoxide (CO) protection is available with your system using the
5800CO Carbon Monoxide Detector. The 5800CO is a 3V battery powered
wireless Carbon Monoxide Detector used with wireless alarm systems that
support 5800 series devices. Carbon monoxide gas is a highly poisonous gas
which is released when fuels are burned. It is invisible, has no smell and is
therefore impossible to detect with the human senses. We strongly suggest
installing Carbon monoxide protection with your system.
Alarms
When an alarm occurs, both the keypad and external sounders will sound, and
the keypad will display the zone(s) causing the alarm. If your system is
connected to a central monitoring station, an alarm message will also be sent. To
stop the alarm sounding, simply disarm the system.
Memory of Alarm
When an alarm condition occurs, the keypad displays the number(s) of the
zone(s) that caused the problem, and displays the type of alarm (ex. FIRE,
ALARM). It remains displayed until it is cleared by disarming the system (see
Disarming the System
section).
Using Schedules
Your system may have been programmed with schedules for automatically
arming, disarming and activating various devices and/or performing other system
functions at predetermined times. Users can modify some of these schedules by
manually delaying a closing time, using temporary schedules, or by programming
special user schedules. Refer to the
Using Schedules
section at the end of this
manual for scheduling related procedures.
