Fire Alarm User Notice
Note
The Fire alarm system installed in this building has ‘Alarm Confirmation’ technology to help
eliminate false alarms.
Please read and understand the following information in order to make the most use of the
system.
Operation
When the detector within your area activates it will initially only operate the sounders within
your own area for a predetermined ‘Confirmation’ time.
At the end of the ‘Confirmation’ time the system will check the detector again to see if the
activation has cleared. If so, the sounders will silence and no further action need be taken.
If, however, the detector is still activated, the entire system will go into alarm, operating all the
sounders on the system.
Action Required
If you think that you may have accidentally set off the fire alarms, then check the following:
If the fire alarm within your area only is sounding, then check your own area for the cause of
the alarm. If this proves to be a false alarm due to dust, cooking fumes, steam, cigarette
smoke, etc, then clear the smoke from the area in order to allow the system to reset itself after
a few minutes. If this happens then no further action is required. If the fire alarms in the
communal areas are also sounding, then follow the building’s fire procedures for evacuation.
If you discover a genuine fire, then follow the building’s fire procedures for evacuation,
activating the nearest Fire Alarm manual call point on the way out if the alarms are not already
sounding.
Do not attempt to put out the fire unless it is safe to do so.
Further Information
Further information will be located adjacent to the Main Fire Alarm Control Panel, or may be
obtained from either the person responsible for building maintenance or from the Fire Alarm
Company responsible for maintaining the Fire Alarm System
