FIRE ALARM SYSTEM (IF INSTALLED)

General

Your fire alarm system (if installed) is on 24 hours a day, for continuous protection. In the
event of an emergency, the strategically located smoke and heat detectors will
automatically send signals to your system, triggering a loud, interrupted pulsed sound*
from the Touchpad(s). This sound will also be produced by any external sounders. A FIRE
message will appear at your Touchpad and remain on until you silence the alarm (see
below for silencing fire alarms).
* Temporal pulse sounding is produced for Fire alarms, as follows:
3 pulses–pause–3 pulses–pause–3 pulses–pause. . . , repeated.

Silencing 1. You can silence the alarm at any time by pressing the OFF key (the security code is
Fire Alarms not needed to silence fire alarms). To clear the display, enter your code and press the
OFF key again (to clear Memory of Alarm).
2. If the Touchpad's FIRE display does not clear after the second OFF sequence, smoke
detectors may still be responding to smoke or heat producing objects in their vicinity.
Investigate, and 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. When the problem has been corrected, clear the display by entering your code and
pressing the OFF key.
