The National Fire Protection Association recommends that you
establish an emergency evacuation plan to safeguard lives in the
event of a re or other emergency.
Draw a oorplan of your home or business
On a sheet of paper, draw the walls, windows, doors, and stairs.
Also draw any obstacles, such as large furniture or appliances, a
person may encounter while exiting the building.
Develop escape routes
Determine at least two routes the occupants in each room can take
to safely escape. One route can be the most obvious such as the
door. Another can be through a window that can be easily opened.
If the window is high off the ground, an escape ladder should be
provided. Draw arrows on the oorplan to show escape routes from
each room.
Decide where to meet
Prearrange a meeting place outside and away from where
emergency personnel are likely to be working. A neighbor’s house
or across the street in the front of the house are good locations.
Always perform a head count to make sure all occupants safely
exited. NEVER ENTER A BURNING BUILDING. If the head count shows
one or more persons missing, give this information immediately to
the authorities. Never enter a building to look for someone.
Practice your escape plans
Devising an escape plan is only the beginning, before the plan can
be effective everyone should practice the escape routes from each
room.

Early detection
The best way to survive a re or other emergency is to get out
early. The installation of a re alarm system, with smoke and
carbon monoxide detectors in each room, can greatly decrease
your risk of loss or injury.

Introduction
A Remote Fire Command Center is also available to use with
the XR2500F Addressable Fire Alarm Control Panel. The remote
keyboard can be placed anywhere throughout the premises.
Both keyboards have four additional function keys, to be used for
alarm silencing, resetting smoke detectors, system testing, and
performing re drills. Both keyboards require the user to turn a
keyswitch to enable the four function keys.
User Menu
The keyboards also provide access to the User Menu, which contains
all of the functions necessary to fully operate your system.
Note: Because the XR2500F is based upon the XR500N Command

necessary for XR2500F operation. If the User Menu provides you
with an option not discussed in this User Guide, please disregard it
and press the COMMAND key to move on to the next prompt.
The following menu items are not used with the XR2500F:
• Door Access
• Armed Areas
• Bypass Zones
• Zone Monitor

Remote Fire Command Center
You can expand the XR2500F Addressable Fire Alarm Control Panel
by adding a Remote Fire Command Center. With the Remote Fire
Command Center, users can access the User Menu and perform the
same functions as the Fire Command Center in the panel enclosure.
All of the keys, except the four function keys, can be used at any
time without turning the keyswitch.
You can only use the four function keys when the keyswitch is
turned to the enable position. These keys are the same as those on
the Fire Command Center in the panel. Both keyboards also have
the same displays and prompts. Follow the same instructions for
using both keyboards.
Below is an illustration of the Remote Fire Command Center
showing the keyswitch lock that enables the four function keys.
Special Fire Command Center Displays
As you use your system, you occasionally see a display that asks you
to enter a code or that describes a condition on the system. Below
are some examples of the displays:
ALARM
A 24-hour zone (for example re or panic) or an armed burglary
zone has been tripped. Your system may sound bells or sirens.
ALARM NOT SENT
The alarm signal was not sent to the central station because a user
code was entered to disarm the system before the alarm signal was
sent to the centralstation.
ALARM CANC ELLED
An Alarm Cancel signal was sent to the central station because
a user code was entered after an alarm was sent to the central
station.
TROUB LE
There is a problem with a protection device or system component.
This display is accompanied by a description of the problem.
ENTER CODE
The system requires you to enter your user code. User codes can
be required for turning your system on (arming), turning your
system off (disarming), and many other functions.
As you enter your user code, the keypad display shows an asterisk
(*) in place of each digit pressed. This keeps others from seeing
your user code on the display as it is entered.
TRY A GAIN or IN VALID CO DE
The user code you have entered is not recognized by the system.
Check the user code and try again.
