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 sound their alarms and automatically send signals
to your system, triggering a loud, interrupted pulsed sound* from the
Keypad(s) and any external sounders. A FIRE message will appear at
your Keypad 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.

ALPHA DISPLAY KEYPAD
1. You can silence the alarm at any time by pressing the OFF key (the
security code is 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 Keypad'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.
When the problem has been corrected, clear the display by entering
your code and pressing the OFF key.
Depending on the type of smoke detectors in your system, it may be
necessary to "reset" the smoke detectors after a fire alarm has been
turned off. Check with your installer. This "reset" is accomplished at a
keypad, as follows:
Enter Security Code ( except "arm only" user), then press the [1] key.
NOTE: During smoke detector reset, "FAULT xx" appears (about six
seconds) and should disappear if the detector is clear.
