Emergency Evacuation Plans
The National Fire Protection Association recommends that 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 clean sheet of paper, draw the walls, windows, doors, and stairs.
Also draw any obstacles that a person may encounter while exiting
the building such as large furniture or appliances.
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 floorplan 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 fire or other emergency is to get out early.
The installation of a fire alarm system, with smoke and carbon
monoxide detectors in each room, can greatly decrease your risk of
loss or injury.

Introduction
About Your Addressable Fire Alarm
Control Panel
The Addressable Fire Alarm Control Panel has been designed with
your safety and comfort in mind. It uses the latest in computer based
technology to create the most advanced and user-friendly fire,
security, and access control system available.
The Addressable Fire Alarm Control Panel combines ease of use with
a simple to understand Fire Command Center display to offer the full
range of features requested by today’s fire system owners.
You can turn portions of your protection on or off at any time by
pressing a few keys. You can add, delete, and change personal user
codes at any time or check the status of protection devices in the
system. An added feature of the Addressable Fire Alarm Control
Panel is the membrane keyboard that has four additional function
keys you may use to easily perform a variety of functions.
For more information about these prompts, please refer to LT-0185,
XR200/XR2400F Programming Guide.
Fire Command Center
The XR2400F comes with a built-in LCD display with a 20 key
membrane keyboard called the Fire Command Center. The keyboard
is mounted behind an opening in the door of the red enclosure. The
keyboard can be used to perform a variety of functions as listed in this
User’s Guide.
A Remote Fire Command Center is also available to use with the
XR2400F Addressable Fire Alarm Control Panel. The remote keyboard
can be placed anywhere throughout the premises.
Both keyboards have four additional function keys, which can be
used for silencing the alarms, resetting the smoke detectors, testing
the system, and performing fire drills. Both keyboards require the
user to turn a keyswitch to enable the four function keys.
User Menu
The keyboards also give you access to the User Menu, which
contains all of the functions necessary to fully operate your system.
Note:
Because the XR2400F is based upon the XR200 Command
Processor, some prompts provided on the User Menu are not
necessary for XR2400F operation. If the User Menu provides you
with an option not discussed in this User Guide, please disregard it
and move on to the next prompt by pressing the COMMAND key.
The following menu items are not used with the XR2400F:
• Door Access
• Armed Areas
• Bypass Zones
• Zone Monitor
• Schedules

necessary to use the keyswitch when using a user code to perform
operations. The illustration and descriptions below highlight some
features of the Fire Command Center:
