General Information

Your fire alarm system (if installed) is active 24 hours a day,

providing continuous protection. In the event of an emergency, the

installed smoke and heat detectors will automatically activate your

security system, triggering a loud, interrupted sound from the

keypad. Optional exterior sounders will also produce an interrupted

until you silence and clear the alarm display.
