Fire and Carbon Monoxide Alarm Operation
Your fire alarm system and carbon monoxide detector (if installed) is on 24 hours a day, providing continuous protection. In the event
of an emergency, the installed smoke, heat, carbon monoxide detectors automatically send signals to your Control/Communicator,
triggering a loud interrupted sound from the touchscreen. An interrupted sound is also produced by optional exterior sounders.
EVACUATE ALL OCCUPANTS FROM THE PREMISES IMMEDIATELY. Notify your Central Station/Security Company immediately
and wait for further instructions.
In Case of Fire Alarm
A FIRE message appears at your touchscreen and remains on until you silence the alarm.
• Should you become aware of a fire emergency before your detectors sense the problem, go to your nearest touchscreen and
manually initiate an alarm by pressing the panic key assigned as FIRE emergency (if programmed by the installer) and hold
down for at least 2 seconds.
• Evacuate all occupants from the premises.
• If flames and/or smoke are present, leave the premises and notify your local Fire Department immediately.
Silencing and Clearing a Fire/Carbon Monoxide Alarm
1. Silence, acknowledge, and clear the alarm by:
a. For Residential Systems: Press Touch here to Silence on the display to silence the alarm.
For Commercial Systems: Enter your code; this action silences the alarm and acknowledges disarming the system (if it was
armed at the time of the alert).
b. For Residential Systems: Press the CLEAR icon followed by your code. This acknowledges the alarm and the disarming of
the system (if armed).
For Commercial Systems: Press the CLEAR icon followed by your code. The system attempts to clear the alarm from
memory. If NOT successful (i.e., smoke in the detector) the Security screen is displayed and the Display Faults icon displays a
“Not Ready Fault”.
c. Press the DISPLAY FAULTS icon on the Arming screen. The faulted fire/carbon monoxide zone is displayed.
d. Press the CLEAR icon and then enter your code. This clears the Fire Alarm/CO Alarm from the system.
2. If the touchscreen does not indicate a READY condition after the second sequence, press the DISPLAY FAULTS key on the
Arming screen to display the zone(s) that are faulted. Be sure to check that smoke detectors/carbon monoxide detectors are not
responding to smoke, heat, or gas producing objects in their vicinity. In this case, eliminate the source of heat, smoke or leak.
3. If this does not remedy the problem, there may still be smoke/gas in the detector. Clear it by fanning the detector for about 30
seconds.
4. When the problem has been corrected, clear the display by entering the DISPLAY FAULTS icon on the Arming screen, selecting
the fire or carbon monoxide zone, pressing the CLEAR icon and then entering your user code.
Note: Contact your Central Station/Security Company for servicing if you have further problems with your system.
