Fire Safety Tips
In the event of a fire, escape first, then call for help. Develop a home fire escape plan and designate a meeting
place outside. Make sure everyone in the family knows two ways to escape from every room. Practice feeling
your way out with your eyes closed. Never stand up in a fire, always crawl low under the smoke and try to keep
your mouth covered. Never return to a burning building for any reason; it may cost you your life. Finally, having
at least one working smoke alarm dramatically increases your chances of surviving a fire. And remember to
practice a home escape plan frequently with your family.
Providing a Fire Warning System
Household fires are especially dangerous at night. Fires produce smoke and deadly gases that can overcome
occupants while they sleep. To warn against fire, smoke detectors should be installed outside each separate
sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on each additional story of the family living unit,
including basements.
Testing & Maintenance
With the system disarmed and the "
area. Open and close protected doors and verify that the corresponding lights illuminate. Your installer can
advise you of the best way to test your particular system.
Do not use open flame or burning materials to test your fire detection devices. Contact your installer for safe
methods of testing your system.
Under normal use, your system requires virtually no maintenance other than regular testing. It is recommended
that the standby battery be changed every three years. Speak to your installer about the necessary tests and
how often they should be performed.
Communicating Through the Internet (IP150)
You can communicate with your security system via the internet by using a system accessory called the IP150
Internet Module (sold separately). The IP150 controls and monitors your security system remotely through any
web browser. It allows for email notifications of important system events such as alarms, arm/ disarm events,
and troubles. For example, receive an email at work when your kids get back from school, or if an alarm occurs
in your system at home.
You can also view live status of your system and arm/disarm your system. For example, you have just left your
office for the weekend but are not sure you remembered to arm it. Simply check the status of your system from
a laptop and arm it remotely. There is no PC software to install, as the IP150 is web-based. It uses a user-
friendly web-page that puts you in control. Consult your installer or refer to the IP150 User manual for more
information.
Communicating Using Text Messages (PCS250/PCS250G)
You can communicate with your security system using text messages (SMS) by using system accessories
called PCS250/PCS250G GSM modules (sold separately). The GSM module allows you to receive text mes-
sages of system events, such as alarms or troubles, on your cellular phone. It also allows you to send text mes-
sages to arm or disarm your system from anywhere in the world. Consult your installer for more information.

To receive text messages from your system you need to:
• Program the telephone numbers you wish to receive text notifications.
• Select which event groups (alarm, arm/disarm, trouble and trouble restore) will generate text messages.
• Select which partition the phone number is assigned to.
