SMOKE, HEAT AND FREEZE PROTECTION

Your residential system should be installed with Smoke,
Heat, and Freeze alarms as well as Carbon Monoxide
detectors as a part of an overall fire, heat, and gas
protection system. Fire protection is active 24 hours a day,
365 days a year.
NOTE: In Turkey, systems are installed with Smoke/Heat
alarms.
In the event of a fire or poisonous CO gas emergency, the
installed smoke or carbon monoxide detector automatically
activates your security system. Not only will the fire alarm
itself emit a loud sound, the Control Panel emits an
intermittent and loud horn on an external sounder (if an
external sounder has been installed). The fire alarm sound
continues until the timer expires on the Fire Alarm or until
you enter a user code at the Control Panel.
If the Alarm Sounds:
● Get out and stay out. Never go back inside for people
or pets.
● If you have to escape through smoke, get down low
and go under the smoke.
● Call the fire department from outside your home.
Initiating a Fire Alarm Manually

detector(s) sense an issue:
IMPORTANT: Always yell "Fire" to alert everyone in
proximity.
1 Go the Control Panel and tap the Emergency
button.
2 At the Emergency screen, press and hold the Fire
button for two (2) seconds.
This action triggers the fire alarm's sounder and siren.
You can also trigger the fire alarm from the wireless
keypad by holding down the Fire button.
3 Get out and stay out of the dwelling. Never go back
inside for people or pets.
4 Call your local Fire Department from a safe location
outside the dwelling.

1 If flames and smoke are present, yell "Fire" to alert
everyone else.

local Fire Department from a safe location.
OR

causes of the alarm.

caused the alarm.
4 Go to the sensor and look for a possible reason the

an alarm.
Silencing a False Fire Alarm
If the fire alarm is sounding due to a detector sensing burnt
food or some other non-emergency condition:
1 Silence the fire alarm sounder by entering your
user code.
2
Review the alarm memory to determine which sensor
caused the alarm (See "Alarm Memory" on
the alarm restarts, there may still be smoke inside the
detector's sensor. Re-enter your user code to stop the
alarm from continuing to sound.
3 Fan the detector for 30 seconds to clear the detector's
sensor chamber.
4 After the problem has been corrected, from the Alarm
Memory screen, check Clear Alarm History, then tap
OK.
NOTE: Violated Fire and CO sensors clear from Alarm
Memory screen only when the sensors return to normal
operation.
5 Carefully inspect your premises for fire, heat, or gas
if your Fire Alarms and CO Detectors remain in alarm
state.
