Heat-Activated Detectors
The Following Recommendations for the location of Fire and Burglary Detection
Devices Help Provide Proper Coverage for the Protected Premises.
Recommendations for Smoke and Heat Detectors
With regard to the number and placement of smoke/heat detectors, we subscribe to the recommendations
contained in the National Fire Protection Association's (NFPA) Standard #72 noted below.
Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection equipment in all rooms
and areas of the household as follows: For minimum protection, a smoke detector should be installed
outside of each separate sleeping area and on each additional floor of a multi-floor family living unit,
including basements. The installation of smoke detectors in kitchens, attics (finished or unfinished), or
in garages is not normally recommended.
For additional protection, the NFPA recommends that you install heat or smoke detectors in the living
room, dining room, bedroom(s), kitchen, hallway(s), attic, furnace room, utility and storage rooms,
basements, and attached garages.
In addition, we recommend the following:
• Install a smoke detector inside every bedroom where a smoker sleeps.
• Install a smoke detector inside every bedroom where someone sleeps with the door partly or
completely closed. Smoke could be blocked by the closed door. Also, an alarm in the hallway outside
may not wake up the sleeper if the door is closed.
• Install a smoke detector inside bedrooms where electrical appliances (such as portable heaters, air
conditioners, or humidifiers) are used.
• Install a smoke detector at both ends of a hallway if the hallway is more than 40 feet (12 meters) long.
• Install smoke detectors in any room where an alarm control is located, or in any room where alarm
control connections to an AC source or phone lines are made. If detectors are not so located, a fire
within the room could prevent the control from reporting a fire or an intrusion.
THIS CONTROL COMPLIES WITH NFPA REQUIREMENTS FOR
TEMPORAL PULSE SOUNDING OF FIRE NOTIFICATION APPLIANCES.
Recommendations for Proper Intrusion Protection
commercial premises. This includes skylights and upper windows in a multi-level building.
In addition, we recommend that radio backup be used in a security system so that alarm signals can still be
sent to the alarm monitoring station in the event that the telephone lines are out of order (alarm signals are
For proper intrusion coverage, sensors should be located at every possible point of entry to a home or
normally sent over the phone lines, if connected to an alarm monitoring station).

†
Hardwire Short Detection is disabled on any zone programmed for FIRE (Zone type 09).
Either condition (high resistance or short) detected on any zone, prevents the system from
being armed until the offending condition is cleared. Conversely, when the system is armed,
and these conditions occur, an alarm is generated.
Exit Error False Alarm Prevention Features
• Enables the system to determine the difference between an actual alarm and an alarm
caused by leaving an entry/exit or interior zone open after the Exit Delay expires. If not
disarmed in time, an alarm sounds and an Exit Error report is sent to the Central Station.
An exit alarm condition also occurs if an entry/exit or interior zone re-opens within 2
minutes after the end of an Exit Delay.
•
The system provides an automatic Exit Delay Reset feature that allows the user to exit
(fault), close the door (restore the fault), then re-enter (fault again) the premises within the
exit delay time period. Upon re-entering, a new exit delay ti me period is begun with the
keypad annunciating three rapid b eeps. This feature only resets the exit delay time once
for each arming session.

High-Resistance/Short Supervision on Hardwired Zones 2–6
Provides automatic high loop resistance detection (possibly caused by corroding contacts at
perimeter sensor points) on hardwired zones 2–6, and displays a CHECK message for the
affected zone when the system is in the disarmed state.
This panel also contains a Hardwire Short Detection circuit, and when enabled in

when the system is in the disarmed state. At the same time a CHECK message is displayed
on the keypad.
Either condition (high resistance or short) detected on any zone, prevents the system from
being armed until the offending condition is cleared. Conversely, when the system is armed,
and these conditions occur, an alarm is generated.
