A fire alarm sends a fire alarm message to the alarm monitoring company* and uniquely activates keypad and anyexternal sounders (FIRE plus a zone number is also displayed).Fire Alarm SystemFire Alarm System (If Installed)Your fire alarm system (if installed) is active 24 hours a day, providing continuous protection. In the event of anemergency, the installed smoke and heat detectors will automatically activate you security system, triggering a loud,interrupted sound from the Keypad. An interrupted sound will also be produced by optional exterior sounders. A FIREmessage will appear at your Keypad and remain on until you silence and clear the alarm display.Should you become aware of a fire emergency before your detectors sense the problem, go to your nearest Keypad andpress the single panic key (or panic key pair) assigned as FIRE emergency (if programmed by the installer) and hold downfor at least 2 seconds. The alarm will sound.If no flames or smoke are apparent, investigate the cause of the alarm. The zone descriptor of the zone(s) in an alarmcondition will appear at the Keypad.Silencing a Fire Alarm:1. Silence the alarm by pressing the OFF key. To clear the alarm display, enter your code and press the OFF keyagain.2. If the Keypad indicates a trouble condition after the second OFF sequence, check that smoke detectors are notresponding to smoke or heat producing objects in their vicinity. Should this be the case, eliminate the source ofheat or smoke.3. If this does not remedy the problem, there may still be smoke in the detector. Clear it by fanning the detectorfor about 30 seconds.4. When the problem has been corrected, clear the display by entering your code and pressing the OFF key.Trouble ConditionsTypical "Check" DisplaysThe word CHECK on the Keypad's display, accompanied by a rapid "beeping" at the Keypad, indicates that there is atrouble condition in the system. The displays in parenthesis may appear on non-alpha keypads when the associatedtrouble condition is present.To silence the beeping sound for "check" conditions, press any key. Note that zone number 9 represents a problem withwireless receivers or other system devices, which are not user serviceable. Call for service immediately.CHECK + Zone DescriptorsIndicates that a problem exists with the specified zone(s). First, determine if the zone(s) displayed are intact and makethem so if they are not. If the zone uses a wireless detector, check that changes in the room (moving furniture,televisions, etc.) are not blocking wireless signals from the detector. If the problem has been corrected, the zonedescriptor(s) and CHECK should disappear. If not, key an OFF sequence (security code plus OFF) to clear the display. ACHECK condition can also indicate a wiring problem. If the “check” display persists, call for service immediately.Note that the system will not allow arming if a CHECK condition exists. To arm the system with a CHECK conditionpresent, you must first bypass the zone(s) having the CHECK condition.
