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.
NOTE: All smoke detectors must be tested monthly by pressing the TEST button located on the
detector. Be aware that your keypad(s) and local siren(s) will activate (enter your 4-digit code +
[Off] to silence). If your system is monitored by a central station you must first call the central
station to advise them that a test is in progress. If the TEST button does not cause the detector
to activate it must be replaced immediately.
In Case Of Fire Alarm
1.
Should you become aware of a fire emergency before your detectors sense the
problem, go to your nearest keypad and manually initiate an alarm by pressing
the panic key assigned as FIRE emergency (if programmed by the installer) and
hold down for at least 2 seconds.
2.
Evacuate all occupants from the premises.
3.
If flames and/or smoke are present, leave the premises and notify your local Fire
Department immediately.
4.
If no flames or smoke are apparent, investigate the cause of the alarm. The
descriptor of the zone(s) in alarm appears at the keypad.
Silencing a Fire Alarm
1.
Silence the alarm by entering your code and pressing the OFF key. To clear the
display, enter your code and press the OFF key again
2.
If the keypad does not indicate a READY condition after the second OFF
sequence, press the READY key to display the zone(s) that are faulted. Be sure
to check that smoke detectors are not responding to smoke or heat producing
objects in their vicinity. Should this be the case, eliminate the source of heat or
smoke.
3.
If this does not remedy the problem, there may still be smoke in the detector.
Clear it by fanning the detector for about 30 seconds.
4.
You can clear the display by entering your code + the OFF key.
Fire Display Lock
If several zones produce an alarm before any are silenced, the system can be
programmed to lock the keypad display with the first zone that produced an alarm.
Ask your installer if your system has been activated with this feature.
To display the other zone(s), press the [*] key for each zone. Also the "A", "B", or "C"
keys can be programmed to scroll the keypad display to view the previous or
subsequent fire alarms.
