Fire Alarm Operation
NOTE: The description below may not be applicable depending on how your installer has
programmed the fire alarm operations on your system. Ask your installer for more information
regarding your system's operation.
Alarm
During a fire alarm, the bell or siren will pulse ON and OFF. The transmission of the alarm to the
monitoring station is delayed for 30 seconds. If the alarm is not cleared within the 30-second delay, it will
be transmitted to the monitoring station.
Silence

reset, the alarm will resound after 90 seconds.
Resetting Smoke Detectors

monitoring station to avoid an unnecessary response. If a fire condition is apparent, follow your
evacuation plan immediately. If the alarm sounds at night, evacuate immediately.
Household Fire Safety Audit
Most fires occur in the home. To minimize this danger, we recommend that a household fire safety audit
is conducted and a fire escape plan is developed.
1. Are all electrical appliances and outlets in a safe condition? Check for frayed cords, overloaded
lighting circuits, etc. If you are uncertain about the condition of your electrical appliances or
household service, have a professional evaluate these units.
2. Are all flammable liquids stored safely in closed containers in a well-ventilated cool area? Cleaning
with flammable liquids should be avoided.
3. Are fire hazardous materials (matches) well out of reach of children?
4. Are furnaces and wood burning appliances properly installed, clean and in good working order?
14 Have a professional evaluate these appliances.
