A fire alarm sends a fire alarm message to the alarm monitoring company* and uniquely activates keypad and any
external sounders (FIRE plus a zone number is also displayed).
Fire Alarm System
Fire Alarm System (If Installed)
Your fire alarm system (if installed) is active 24 hours a day, providing continuous protection. In the event of an
emergency, the installed smoke and heat detectors will automatically activate you security system, triggering a loud,
interrupted sound from the Keypad. An interrupted sound will also be produced by optional exterior sounders. A FIRE
message will appear at your Keypad and remain on until you silence and clear the alarm display.
Should you become aware of a fire emergency before your detectors sense the problem, go to your nearest Keypad and
press the single panic key (or panic key pair) assigned as FIRE emergency (if programmed by the installer) and hold down
for at least 2 seconds. The alarm will sound.
If no flames or smoke are apparent, investigate the cause of the alarm. The zone descriptor of the zone(s) in an alarm
condition will appear at the Keypad.
Silencing a Fire Alarm:
1. Silence the alarm by pressing the OFF key. To clear the alarm display, enter your code and press the OFF key
again.
2. If the Keypad indicates a trouble condition after the second OFF sequence, check that smoke detectors are not
responding to smoke or heat producing objects in their vicinity. Should this be the case, eliminate the source of
heat or smoke.
3. If this does not remedy the problem, there may still be smoke 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 your code and pressing the OFF key.
Trouble Conditions
Typical "Check" Displays
The word CHECK on the Keypad's display, accompanied by a rapid "beeping" at the Keypad, indicates that there is a
trouble condition in the system. The displays in parenthesis may appear on non-alpha keypads when the associated
trouble condition is present.
To silence the beeping sound for "check" conditions, press any key. Note that zone number 9 represents a problem with
wireless receivers or other system devices, which are not user serviceable. Call for service immediately.
CHECK + Zone Descriptors
Indicates that a problem exists with the specified zone(s). First, determine if the zone(s) displayed are intact and make
them so if they are not. If the zone uses a wireless detector, check that changes in the room (moving furniture,
televisions, etc.) are not blocking wireless signals from the detector. If the problem has been corrected, the zone
descriptor(s) and CHECK should disappear. If not, key an OFF sequence (security code plus OFF) to clear the display. A
CHECK condition can also indicate a wiring problem. If the "check" display persists, call for service immediately.
Note that the system will not allow arming if a CHECK condition exists. To arm the system with a CHECK condition
present, you must first bypass the zone(s) having the CHECK condition.
