Fire Alarm System

THIS SECTION APPLIES ONLY TO RESIDENTIAL SYSTEMS
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 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).

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 User 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.
