SYSTEM OVERVIEW

General

Congratulations on your ownership of an Ademco Alarm System. You've made a
wise decision in choosing it, for it represents the latest in alarm protection
technology today, including microcomputer technology to monitor all system status.
Ademco is the world's largest manufacturer of alarm systems and millions of
premises are protected by Ademco systems.
Your system is a UL Listed commercial fire alarm control/communicator. It monitors,
on an around-the clock basis, the various fire alarm warning, emergency alarm
warning and fire sprinkler system supervisory sensors that have been installed in
your system. When the control detects an alarm, supervisory, or trouble condition,
it automatically triggers an on-premises warning indication and transmits a message
to a central station over the telephone line so that appropriate action can be taken.
The control features a built-in warning buzzer and LED indicators which provide
the on-premises warning indication. In addition, your system may include an
optional remote keypad and/or optional external alarm warning sounders which will
provide additional on-premises warning indications. Please disregard references to
these devices in the text that follows, if they were not installed in your system.

Zones

Your system has five protection zones. Your installer has assigned each of your
system's sensing devices to one of these zones. For example, warehouse smoke
detectors may have been assigned to zone 01, a fire sprinkler water valve
supervisory switch may have been assigned to zone 02, etc.. If a remote keypad
was installed in your system, it will display these zone numbers when an alarm,
supervisory or trouble condition is detected, so that the nature and location of the
fault can be pinpointed..
