f A good plan emphasises quick escape. Do not investigate or attempt to fight the fire,
and do not gather belongings or pets as this wastes valuable time. Once outside, do
not re-enter the house. Wait for the Fire Services.
f Write the fire escape plan down and rehearse it frequently so that should an
emergency arise, everyone will know what to do. Revise the plan as conditions change,
such as the number of people in the home, or if there are changes to the building's
construction.
f
Make sure your fire warning system is operational by conducting weekly tests. If you
are unsure about system operation, contact your installer.
f We recommend that you contact your local fire department and request further
information on fire safety and escape planning. If available, have your local fire
prevention officer conduct an in-house fire safety inspection.
Fire Alarm Operation
When a fire alarm is detected, the system generates a distinctive fire alarm tone from the
remote keypads and the external bell or siren is also pulsed on and off. The alarm is also
transmitted to the Alarm Receiving Centre, if your installer has enabled this feature.
To silence the fire alarm condition, simply enter your access code.
5.1.1.1 RESETTING SMOKE DETECTORS
When a smoke detector is triggered it will normally remain in a latched alarm condition until
it has been reset. If after a reset, it still detects smoke, the alarm sequence will sound as
described above. If there is no smoke, the system will return to normal operation.
To reset smoke detectors, enter your access code then press the
R
key.
If you suspect that a fire alarm has been transmitted and that there is no fire
condition, call the alarm receiving centre to avoid an unnecessary response. If a
fire condition is apparent, follow your evacuation plan immediately.
System Maintenance
With normal use, the system requires little maintenance, other than that required by local
regulations. The following points should be observed.
f Do not wash the security control panel, keypads and detectors with a wet cloth. A light
dusting with a slightly moistened cloth should remove normal accumulations of dust.
f
The control panel stand-by battery test is designed to determine the battery condition.
We recommend, however, that the stand-by batteries are replaced every five years.
f
For other system devices such as smoke detectors, passive infrared, ultrasonic or
microwave motion detectors or glass-break detectors, consult the respective
manufacturer’s literature for testing and maintenance.
