Maintenance

With normal use, the system requires minimum maintenance. The following points should be observed.

1.Do not wash the security station with a wet cloth. Light dusting with a barely damp cloth should remove normal accumulations of dust.

2.The battery/ bell test is designed to determine battery condition, however it is recommended that the stand-by batteries be replaced every three years.

3.For other system devices such as smoke detectors, passive infrared, ultrasonic or microwave motion detectors or glassbreak detectors, consult the respective manufacturer’s literature for testing and maintenance.

Family Escape Planning

There is often very little time between the detection of a fire and the time it becomes deadly. It is thus very important that a family escape plan be developed and rehearsed.

1.Every family member should participate in developing the escape plan.

2.Study the possible escape routes from each location within the house and since many fires occur at night, special attention should be given to the escape routes from sleeping quarters.

3.It is essential that escape from a bedroom be possible without opening the interior door. To facilitate such an escape:

• Make sure that doors and/or windows that open to the outside are easily

opened. e.g. not painted shut.

• If opening the exit means, or simply making the exit may be too difficult for

children, the elderly or handicapped, plans for rescue should be developed. This includes making sure that those who are to perform the rescue can promptly hear the fire warning signal.

• If the exit means is above the ground level, an approved fire ladder or rope

should be provided as well as training in its use.

• Exits on the ground level should be kept clear, e.g. remove snow from exterior

patio doors.

• The family should have a predetermined assembly point where everyone can

be accounted for, e.g. across the street or at a neighbours.

• Once everyone is out of the house call the Fire Department.

• A good plan emphasizes quick escape. Do not investigate first or attempt to

fight the fire and do not attempt to rescue valuables or pets as this takes up valuable time. Once outside, do not re-enter the house. Wait for the fire department.

• Write the plan down and rehearse frequently so that should an emergency

arise, everyone will know what they are to do. Revise the plan as conditions change, e.g. more or fewer family member or changes to the house.

• Make sure your fire warning system is operational by conducting weekly tests

as noted elsewhere in this manual. If you are unsure about system operation, contact your installing dealer.

• It is recommended that you contact your local fire department and request

further information on home fire safety and escape planning. If available, have your local fire prevention officer conduct an in-house fire safety inspection.

Introduction

The LCD-600 Security Station provides easy to understand English language information about the status of your security system and makes daily operation simple by prompting the user through each operation.

The LCD-600 eliminates the need to memorize key sequences to perform system functions but, you must memorize your Master Security Code and any additional Security Codes you have programmed into the system.

The keypad sounding device provides audible feedback each time a key is pressed and with unique audible sequences it signals troubles and the correct or incorrect entry of information.

About Your Security System

Your DSC security equipment has been designed to give you the greatest possible flexibility and convenience. The LCD-600 Security Station will guide you through each operation with English language prompts. Read this manual carefully and have your installer instruct you on system operation and on which features have been implemented on your system. All users of this system should be equally instructed in its use. Fill out the SYSTEM INFORMATION page and store this manual in a safe place for future reference.

Fire Detection

This equipment is capable of monitoring fire detection devices such as smoke detectors and providing a warning alarm if a fire condition is detected. Good fire detection depends on having adequate numbers of fire detectors placed in appropriate locations. This equipment should be installed in accordance with N.F.P.A. standard #74 (N.F.P.A. Batterymarch Park, Quincey MA 02269). Carefully review the Family Escape Planning guidelines in this manual.

Note: Your installer must enable the fire detection portion of this equipment before it becomes functional.

IMPORTANT NOTE

A security system cannot prevent emergencies. It is only intended to alert you and, if included, a monitoring station of an emergency situation. Security systems are generally very reliable but they may not work under all conditions and they are not a substitute for prudent security practices or life and property insurance. Your security system should be installed and serviced by qualified security professionals who should instruct you on the level of protection that has been provided and on system operation.
