Fire System | User’s Guide | Fire Safety and Evacuation

Fire Safety and Evacuation

Residential fire is a leading cause of accidental death. Most fire related deaths occur at night when occupants suffocate in their sleep from smoke and toxic gases, rather than from burns. To help reduce this risk, the following program should be implemented.

1.Minimize fire hazards. Smoking in bed, cleaning with flammable liquids such as gasoline, leaving children home alone, and using unsafe holiday decorations are some of the common causes of household fire.

2.Install a fire alarm system. The primary purpose of this system is to protect lives by giving the earliest possible warning of danger.

3.A smoke detector (indicated in the figures by an inverted “S” in a circle) should be provided to detect smoke in each sleeping area in a home.

4.Practice an escape plan. Because there can be very little time between detection of a fire and the time it becomes deadly, it is important that every member of the family understand how to quickly evacuate according to the plan.

Fire System | User’s Guide | Fire Safety and Evacuation

Fire Safety and Evacuation (continued)

Plan both primary and alternate escape routes. Since stairwells and hallways can be blocked during a fire, exiting through a bedroom window must be a part of the escape plan. If the sleeping area is above the ground floor, install a means of safe descent outside the building if one does not already exist.

All family members should plan to meet at a location away from the house (such as a neighbor’s house) so everyone can be accounted for.

If it is determined that the alarm was accidentally sounded, the bell should be silenced, the detectors reset, and your security company notified immediately that there is no emergency situation.

Fire System | User’s Guide |	4.0	System Events

4.0 System Events

Your system automatically shows fire alarm, fire trouble, or fire supervisory events as they occur. Fire trouble events include such conditions as a broken wire or a point that did not restore. Fire supervisory events include such conditions as a closed sprinkler system valve.

4.1Warning Displays and Tones

Your keypad emits one of several distinct tones and shows custom text to alert you to system events. Additional bells or horns can also be connected to your system. Audible and visual devices such as horns and strobes alert you to emergencies.

Priority of Events

If more than one event occurs, your system sorts them into groups, for example:

•Fire alarms (refer to Section 4.2 Fire Alarms on page 13)

•Fire troubles (refer to Section 4.3 Fire Troubles on page 14)

•Non-fire troubles (refer to Section 4.4 Non-Fire Troubles on page 15)

The group with the highest priority (fire alarms) appears first in the keypad’s display. Refer to the following sections for descriptions of the tones and displays, and instructions for silencing the tones.

4.2Fire Alarms

Fire alarms are the highest priority events. When a fire point activates, your keypad emits a pulsating high-pitched fire tone. The tone sounds for the length of time set by your servicing company.

Bosch Security Systems, Inc. | 8/06 | F01U011793B

13

Fire System | User’s Guide |	4.0	System Events

When this tone sounds, evacuate all occupants and investigate for smoke or fire.

The keypad display shows only the point text of the first point that entered fire alarm. Press [NEXT] or [PREV] to acknowledge this alarm or any other alarm condition or other condition that is not normal. The first pressing of the [NEXT] key performs an acknowledge function. Refer to Section 3.0 Keypad Navigation Keys on page 12.

Subsequent pressing of the [NEXT] key after the acknowledge function shows any additional points that entered alarm. Use the [NEXT] and [PREV] keys to show events from the oldest to the newest and the highest to the lowest priority.

4.3Fire Troubles

After an alarm silences, the device that caused the alarm is usually still faulted or activated. Press [DETECTOR RESET] to reset a smoke detector. Refer to Section 11.1.2 DETECTOR RESET ? on page 25. A device in a state that is not normal creates a fire trouble condition.

Examples of trouble conditions include such things as a broken wire. When a fire trouble occurs, your keypad repeatedly emits a series of three warble tones followed by a pause.

The system shows the number of fire points with troubles (A1 ## FIRE TRBLE) in an area and then shows the custom text for the highest priority trouble condition. Use the [NEXT] and [PREV] keys to view the other trouble conditions.
