Silence A False Fire Alarm; In The Event Of A Carbon Monoxide Alarm - 2gig Technologies EDGE User Manual

Silence a False Fire Alarm

In the event of a false fire alarm (for example, burning food or another non-emergency condition), you can silence the
alarm .
To silence the alarm:
1 . Enter an active user code to silence the alarm .
IMPORTANT: Consult your installer to determine how the Abort Window Dialer Delay is configured on your system.
This defines the amount of time the system will wait to initiate the digital dialer when an alarm condition is triggered
and specifies the number of seconds you have to manually abort the alarm, before an alarm report is sent to the
Central Station .
IMPORTANT: Consult your installer to determine how the Alarm Cancel Time is configured on your system. This
defines the amount of time you have to send an alarm cancellation report to the Central Station. The factory default
setting for the system is five (5) minutes.
2 . Review the Alarms screen to determine which sensor activated the alarm .
NOTE: If the alarm restarts, smoke may be present in the alarm's detection chamber . Enter the user code again .
Then fan the detection chamber on the sensor for 30 seconds .
3 . After the problem has been addressed, tap the Clear Alarm History button .
NOTE: For Smoke/Heat Alarms and CO Detectors, the Clear Alarm History button will not permit you to clear any
history until the 2GIG EDGE Panel receives a message from the sensor that it has returned to normal operations .
NOTE: If Smart Areas are configured, the Fire Alarm must be acknowledged and cleared in each Smart Area. This
can be done at a keypad assigned to that area or by using the Smart Areas button on the home screen .

In the Event of a Carbon Monoxide Alarm

Detectors may have been installed to safeguard the occupants of your dwelling from the dangerous and possibly deadly
effects of CO gas . See Safety Precautions and
If a CO alarm is activated, the system emits a warning siren until the system no longer detects CO in the environment .

DANGER!!! To protect yourself and others from injury and/or death, do not re-enter the home or move away from
the open door/window until the premises has been approved for safe re-entry by emergency officials. To learn
about other ways to safeguard your home from the harmful effects of CO, refer to the guidelines defined by your
local, state, or regional officials.

the dwelling .
