FIRE ALARM SYSTEM

General
Your fire alarm system (if installed) is active 24 hours a day, providing continuous
protection. In the event of an emergency, the installed smoke and heat detectors will
automatically activate you security system, triggering a loud, interrupted sound from the
Keypad. An interrupted sound will also be produced by optional exterior sounders. A FIRE
message will appear at your Keypad and remain on until you silence and clear the alarm
display.

1. Should you become aware of a fire emergency before your detectors sense the problem,
go to your nearest Keypad and press the single panic key (or panic key pair) assigned
as FIRE emergency (if programmed by the installer) and hold down for at least 2
seconds. The alarm will sound.
2. Evacuate all occupants from the premises.
