Enabling Fire Alarm Verification
Fire Alarm Verification causes the system to contact central monitoring when one of the following is
true:
• Multiple smoke detectors fault
• A single smoke detector faults for 60 seconds
By default Fire Alarm Verification is disabled: The system immediately sends an alarm to central
monitoring when the smoke alarm trips. However, smoke alarms are notorious for tripping in non-
emergencies (such as, when food burns on the stove or someone forgets to open the flu before using
the fireplace). With the customer’s agreement, this can be avoided using Fire Alarm Verification.
To enable or disable Fire Alarm Verification:
1. From the Installer Settings menu, touch Sensors & Zones ® Fire Alarm Settings.
