Testing Your System
If you are going to perform a System Test, call your Monitoring Station to
inform them when you begin and also when you end the test.
Keypad Sounder and Siren Test
The System Test provides several system tests, and a two-second check of the key-
pad sounder and bell or siren.
1. Press
[Master Code]
2. The following will occur:
The system activates all keypad sounders and bells or sirens for two seconds.
All keypad lights turn ON.
- PK5500/LCD5500 keypads will light all pixels
- The Ready, Armed, and Trouble LED's will flash for the duration of the test
3. To exit the function menu, press
System Test
All smoke detectors in this installation must be tested by your smoke detector
installer or dealer once a year to ensure they are functioning correctly. It is the user's
responsibility to test the system weekly (excluding smoke detectors). Ensure you
follow all the steps in the 'Testing Your System' section above
If the system fails to function correctly, call your installation company for
service immediately.
1. Ensure that the system is disarmed and the Ready light is on before testing.
2. Press
and close all zones to return the system to the Ready state.
3. Perform a System Test by following the steps in the previous section.
4. To test the zones, activate each detector in turn (e.g., open each door/window
or walk in motion detector areas).
PK5500/LCD5500 keypads will display the following message when each zone
(detector) is activated: "Secure System Before Arming < >", "Secure System or
Enter Code" or "Secure or Arm System". Use the
zones are open. The message will disappear when the zones are closed.
On an PK5501/LCD5501Z keypad, the display says "Open" when any zone
(detector) is activated. To see which zones are open, press
scroll the numbers of all open zones.
On a PK5508/PK5516/PC55XXZ keypad, the zone light turns ON when the zone
(detector) is activated. The zone light turns OFF when the zone is closed (e.g., door
or window closed).
Some features described above are not functional unless enabled by your
installer. Ask your installer which features are functional on your system.
Walk Test Mode
The installer can initiate a Walk Test mode for the system. While in Walk Test mode,
The Ready, Armed, and Trouble LED's will flash to indicate that Walk Test is active.
When the system automatically terminates the Walk Test modes, it will annunciate
with an audible warning (5 beeps every 10 seconds), beginning five minutes prior to
the termination of the test.
Guidelines for locating Smoke Detectors
Research has shown that all hostile fires in homes generate smoke to a greater or
lesser extent. Experiments with typical fires in homes indicate that detectable quanti-
ties of smoke precede detectable levels of heat in most cases. For these reasons,
smoke alarms should be installed outside of each sleeping area and on each storey of
the home.
The following information is for general guidance only and it is recommended that
local fire codes and regulations be consulted when locating and installing smoke
alarms.
It is recommended that additional smoke alarms beyond those required for minimum
protection be installed. Additional areas that should be protected include: the base-
ment; bedrooms, especially where smokers sleep; dining rooms; furnace and utility
rooms; and any hallways not protected by the required units.
On smooth ceilings, detectors may be spaced 9.1m (30 feet) apart as a guide. Other
spacing may be required depending on ceiling height, air movement, the presence of
joists, uninsulated ceilings, etc. Consult National Fire Alarm Code NFPA 72, CAN/
ULC-S553-M86 or other appropriate national standards for installation recommen-
dations.
•
Do not locate smoke detectors at the top of peaked or gabled ceilings; the dead air
space in these locations may prevent the unit from detecting smoke.
•
Avoid areas with turbulent air flow, such as near doors, fans or windows. Rapid air
movement around the detector may prevent smoke from entering the unit.
•
Do not locate detectors in areas of high humidity.
•
Do not locate detectors in areas where the temperature rises above 38
o
o
falls below 5
C (41
F).
•
Smoke detectors should always be installed in accordance with NFPA 72, the
National Fire Alarm Code. Smoke detectors should always be located in accor-
dance with the following:
'Smoke detectors shall be installed outside of each separate sleeping area in the
immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on each additional storey of the family living
unit, including basements and excluding crawl spaces and unfinished attics. In new
construction, a smoke detector also shall be installed in each sleeping room'.
