– 24 –
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.

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 User Code, then press the [1] key (does not apply to an "arm only" user).
1.
Should you become aware of a fire emergency before your smoke or heat detectors
sense the problem, go to your nearest keypad and manually initiate an alarm by
pressing the panic key assigned for FIRE emergency for 2 seconds. If a key pair
has been assigned for fire, press both keys at the same time.
2.
Evacuate all occupants from the premises.
3.
If flames and/or smoke are present, leave the premises and notify your local Fire
Brigade immediately.
4.
If no flames or smoke are apparent, investigate the cause of the alarm. The zone
number(s) of the zone(s) in an alarm condition will be displayed at the keypad.
