Identifying Alarm Sounds
Your alarm system may be programmed for a steady alarm sound or a
pulsed alarm sound. It is important to learn the difference between a
fire alarm sound and an intrusion alarm sound before you are
confronted with an actual emergency.
Silencing Alarms
All alarms can be silenced with any PIN that has disarm privileges.
Entering your [PIN] + [Off] will silence the alarm and turn off (disarm)
the control.
A Cautionary Note
How you respond to an alarm will depend, mostly, on the type and time
of the alarm. You should seek the advice of your installing company as
they install your system, not later (e.g. after an alarm) to develop a
response plan.
Above all else, common sense should prevail.
If there is any threat or hint of danger to yourself or others on the
premises, such as in the event of a fire alarm, everyone should be
instructed to leave the premises immediately. Do not enter the premises
unless accompanied by the appropriate Emergency Services'
personnel, or after they have given the OK to enter.
Emergency Procedures
Caution When Entering A Building
If the bells and sirens are on and/or the red Armed Light is flashing
with the DS7447 display reading "Zone Alarm", or the DS7445 zone
LEDs 1-8 are flashing, or the DS7443 zone LEDs 1-6 are flashing,
then the keypad is signaling that an alarm has occurred. The keypad
will also issue a pulsed tone during the entry delay instead of the usual
steady tone.
If the alarm has not been previously investigated, do not enter the
building unless accompanied by the appropriate Emergency
Services' personnel.
Fire Alarms
Fire Alarms are silenced using the same procedure as intrusion alarms:
a [PIN] (with disarm privileges) + [Off].
The Fire Alarm system is not reset until alarms at smoke detectors
are cleared by using the [System Reset] command. The Fire Alarm
system will not be functional until this procedure has been followed.
See the "Fire Reset / Fire Trouble" section for more information.
