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 keypad. 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.

CO annunciation has not been investigated by UL and may not be used for UL installations.
In Case of Fire Alarm
1.
A FIRE message appears at your keypad and remains on until you silence the alarm.
2.
Should you become aware of a fire emergency before your detectors sense the problem, go to your
nearest keypad 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.
3.
Evacuate all occupants from the premises.
4.
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 silences and acknowledges the alarm and
disarming of the system (if armed).
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 Faulted Zones icon displays a "Not Ready Fault."
c.
Press the FAULTED ZONES 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 keypad does not indicate a READY condition after the second sequence, press the
FAULTED ZONES 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 pressing the FAULTED ZONES 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.
