TESTING

(Continued)

6. If zone 4 is set as a Fire zone, activation will cause the signal to sound in a pulsed

mode. CAUTION: Do not use open flame or burning materials to test a

smoke detector. Contact your installer for information on safe methods to

activate a smoke detector.

7. Should your system fail to operate properly, call your installer for service.

8. When testing is complete, call and advise the monitoring station.

MAINTENANCE

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

be observed:

1. Do not wash the keypad 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 battery 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.

FIRE SAFETY IN THE HOME

Most fires occur in the home and to minimize this danger it is recommended that a

household fire safety audit be conducted and a family escape plan be developed.

HOUSEHOLD FIRE SAFETY AUDIT

1. Are all electrical appliances and outlets in a safe condition? Check for frayed

cords, over-loaded lighting circuits, etc. If you are uncertain about the condition

of your electrical appliances or household service, have a professional evaluation.

2. Are all flammable liquids stored safely in closed containers in a well ventilated

cool area? Cleaning with flammable liquids should be avoided.

3. Are fire hazardous materials (matches) well out of reach of children?

4. Are furnaces and wood burning appliances properly installed, clean and in

good working order? Have a professional evaluation.

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.

FAMILY ESCAPE PLANNING

(Continued)

3. It is essential that escape from a bedroom be possible without opening the

interior door. Consider the following when making your escape plans:

• Make sure that doors and windows that open to the outside are easily opened.

Ensure that they are are not painted shut, and that their locking mechanisms

operate smoothly.

• If opening the exit or using the exit is 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 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. Be sure to remove snow from

exterior patio doors in winter; outdoor furniture or equipment should not block

exits.

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

be accounted for; for example, across the street or at a neighbour's house.

• 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 belongings 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; for example, when there are more or fewer family members in the

home, or if there are 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.
