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.

the problem, go to your nearest keypad and manually initiate an alarm

by the installer) and hold down for at least 2 seconds.
