Trouble tone: A steady tone indicating a trouble condition on your

Understanding Fire System Terms

Zone

A zone refers to a group of one or more protection devices. For example,
smoke detectors on the east side of the premises can be grouped
together as the zone EAST SMOKES.

Central Station Monitoring

Your system can also be programmed to send alarm and trouble reports
to a central station where operators can dispatch the appropriate
authorities.

Status List

Status is a feature that automatically displays the status of your system
on the keypads. The Status List displays alarm or trouble conditions on
zones and trouble conditions that occur with AC or battery power or the
phone lines. If more than one alarm or trouble condition occurs at the
same time, the keypad sequences this information on its display.

Silencing the Bells During an Alarm

While the alarm bell or siren is sounding, enter the user code. The
keypad displays ALARM SILENCED.

Silencing the keypad trouble sounder

To silence the trouble sounder, press any key on the keypad. To silence
the keypad sounder when a Supervisory zone is in alarm, you must enter
the user code.

Keypad User Menu

can access from the keypad. The menu requires you to enter the user
code before you can access any functions.

To access the User Menu:

1. Press the COMMAND key until MENU? NO YES displays.

Emergency Evacuation Plans

The National Fire Protection Association recommends you establish an
emergency evacuation plan to safeguard lives in the event of a fire or
other emergency. Use the following steps as a guide.

Draw a floorplan of your home or business

On a sheet of paper, draw the walls, windows, doors, and stairs. Also
draw any obstacles a person may encounter exiting the building.

Develop escape routes

Determine at least two routes 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.

Draw arrows on the floorplan to show escape routes from each room.

Decide where to meet

Prearrange a meeting place at a neighbor's house or across the street
in the front of the house. Always perform a head count to make sure all
occupants safely exited. NEVER ENTER A BURNING BUILDING. If the
head count shows a person missing, give this information immediately
to the authorities. Never enter a burning 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.
