Identifying Alarm Sounds
Your alarm system may be programmed for a steady alarm
sound or a pulsed alarm sound. It is important to learn the
difference between a fire alarm sound and an intrusion alarm
sound before you are confronted with an actual emergency.
Silencing Alarms
All alarms can be silenced with any PIN that has disarm
privileges. Entering your PIN + [Off] will silence the alarm
and turn off (disarm) the control.
A Cautionary Note
How you respond to an alarm will depend, mostly, on the
type and time of the alarm. You should seek the advice of
your installing company as they install your system, not later
(e.g. after an alarm) to develop a response plan.
Above all else, common sense should prevail.
If there is any threat or hint of danger to yourself or others on
the premises, such as in the event of a fire alarm, everyone
should be instructed to leave the premises immediately. Do
not enter the premises unless accompanied by the
appropriate Emergency Services’ personnel, or after they
have given the OK to enter.
Emergency Procedures
Caution When Entering A Building
If the bells and sirens are on and/or the red Armed Light is
flashing with the DS7447 display reading “Zone Alarm” or
the DS7445 having its zone LEDs 1-8 flashing, then the
keypad is signaling that an alarm has occurred. The keypad
will also issue a pulsed tone during the entry delay instead of
the usual steady tone.
If the alarm has not been previously investigated, do not
enter the building unless accompanied by the
appropriate Emergency Services’ personnel.
Fire Alarms
Fire Alarms are silenced using the same procedure as
intrusion alarms: a PIN (with disarm privileges) + the [Off]
key.
The Fire Alarm system is not reset until alarms at smoke
detectors are cleared by using the [System Reset] command.
The Fire Alarm system will not be functional until this
procedure has been followed. See Fire Reset on page 23.
