Fire Alarms 
Fire alarms are the highest priority events. When a fire 
point activates, your keypad emits a pulsating high-
pitched fire tone. Evacuate all occupants and 
investigate for smoke or fire. Ensure that all occupants 
know the difference between the burglary tone and the 
fire tone. The tone sounds for the time set by your 
security company. 
Silencing Fire Alarms 
Entering a personal passcode with the proper authority 
level silences a fire alarm and disarms the system if it 
was armed. 
The system will now display *
Alarm Silenced*
 on the 
second line and 
Clear Display>
 appears on the fourth. 
 
Then the number of points in alarm (
# FIRE 
ALARMS
) and then the area text appears (
AREA 1 
NAME TEXT
) followed by the custom text of all the 
points in alarm (
SMOKE DETECTOR
), in the order 
of occurrence. 
If there is more than one point causing an alarm, the 
display will show each point for three seconds before 
showing the next one.  
When the last alarm is shown, the next display is the 
idle text. The cycle is repeated until 
COMMAND 4 is 
pressed.

Your system may be programmed so that you cannot 
silence some fire alarms until the fire event clears. 
Entering 
COMMAND 4 clears the scrolling point text 
from the display.  
The *
Alarm Silenced* 
message will continue to 
alternate with idle text as a reminder that it is still 
possible to view the text of the points in alarm by using 
the View Memory function. See 
VIEW MEMORY ?
  
(Command 40) for more information. 
 
To clear the event memory and remove the *
Alarm 
Silenced* 
message from the display, press the 
Clear 
Display>
 soft key. 
The display will show the instructions for clearing the 
message. Enter a valid passcode and press the 
Clear>
 
soft key. 
 
If a fire trouble still exists after acknowledging the 
alarm, the display shows
 Fire Trouble
 
 
To remove this display, the fire point(s) must be 
returned to normal. If you wish to review cleared 
events, use COMMAND 40.
