Home Environment Protection
Smoke, Heat, and Freeze Alarms
Your system should be installed with Smoke, Heat, and Freeze Alarms as well as Carbon Monoxide Detectors
as a part of an overall home environment protection service.
Fire protection is active 24 hours‐a‐day, 365 days a year.
In the event of a fire or poisonous CO gas emergency, the installed smoke or carbon monoxide detector auto-
matically activates your security system. Not only will the fire alarm itself emit a loud sound, the Control Panel
emits an intermittent and loud horn on an external sounder (if an external sounder has been installed). The fire
alarm sound continues until the timer expires on the Fire Alarm or until you enter a User PIN code at the Control
Panel.
IMPORTANT: Commercial installations are for burglary protection only —
If installed in a commercial location, this Control Panel is intended for burglary protection only, not
for fire protection. (Commercial burglary protection is limited to mercantile premises and not banks.)

Initiating a Fire Alarm Manually
Evacuating all occupants safely from the premises is always the highest priority in the event of a fire. If you
become aware of a fire before your detectors sense a problem, do the following:
1. Yell "FIRE!" to alert everyone else.
2. If the control panel is easily accessible and the alarm has not activated, go the Control Panel and press
the white lighted button, then from the touchscreen press and hold the Fire button for at least 2 seconds.
This action triggers the Control Panel fire alarm. You can trigger the fire alarm from the wireless keypad
by holding down the Fire button. Both of these actions trigger the fire alarm.
3. Evacuate all occupants from the premises and call your local Fire Department from a safe location out-
side your home.
