DSC Power 864 - Fire Detection and Testing

i: Fire D(
Fire Detection This equipment is capable of monitoring fire detection devices such as smoke detectors and
providing a warning if a fire condition is detected. Good fire detection depends on having
an adequate number of detectors placed in appropriate locations. This equipment must be
installed in accordance with NFPA 72 (N.F.P.A., Batterymarch Park, Quincey MA 02269).
Carefully review Section 6:“Fire Safety" on page 22.
NOTE: Your installer must enable the fire detection portion of this equipment for
Remote
Monitoring
To make sure your system continues to work as intended, you must test your system weekly.
Please refer to " Testing Your System" on page 18. If your system does not work correctly,
call your installer for service.
This system can send alarms, troubles and emergency messages over telephone lines to a
central station (this must be enabled by your installer). If you accidentally initiate an alarm,
immediately call the central station to prevent an unnecessary response.
By default, an alarm transmission can be cancelled by entering a valid access code within 30
seconds of the alarm.
Maintenance With normal use, the system requires minimum maintenance. Note the following points:
1. Do not wash the security equipment with a wet cloth. Light dusting with a slightly
moistened cloth should remove normal accumulations of dust.
2. Use the system test described in "Testing Your System" on page 18 to check the battery
condition. We recommend, however, that the standby batteries be replaced every 3 years.
3. For other system devices such as smoke detectors, passive infrared, ultrasonic or micro-
wave motion detectors or glassbreak detectors, consult the manufacturer's literature for
testing and maintenance instructions.
