What your alarm system is... Your alarm system is made up of a control panel and several detection devices like motion sensors, magnetic contacts, and so on. Specific areas of detection are called zones. Zones can be programmed to have different characteristics. Some zones may be 24-hour zones, that is, they remain armed even when the alarm system is off. Zones used for fire detection, for example, are always 24-hour zones. In addition, some zones can be programmed to allow bypassing.
Each alarm system in the 2300 family is designed to meet the specific needs of a variety of applications. Systems 238 and 2316 are designed for applications requiring protection of eight and sixteen zones, respectively. Some of the available features of your alarm system are also optional, and will only be installed if appropriate for your installation. In addition, some system features will require you to enter your personal identification number (PIN).

We subscribe to the recommendations for the number and placement of smoke and/or heat detectors found in the National Fire Protection Association'sStandard #72, Chapter 2(N.F.P.A. Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269). For the best early warning, fire detection devices should be installed in all rooms and areas of the premises. A smoke detector should be installed in each separate sleeping area, in the vicinity of bedrooms.
Every household should establish and regularly practice an escape plan in the event of a fire. The following steps, recommended by the National Fire Protection Association, can be used as a guide in developing your own emergencyplan. . Plan on your detector or alarm system sounders waking all occupants. . Determinetwomeansofescapefromeachroom,especially . Establish a meeting place outdoors, away from the house, where everyone can gather and account for those missing.
ALARM A condition that occurs when the detection devices in a zone are triggered after the system is armed. ALARM MEMORY Alarm conditions are stored in memory until cleared. BYPASS To take a zone out of the circuit. Bypassing malfunctioning zones allows the rest of the system to be armed. Bypassing interior zones allows freedom of movement inside the premises, while leaving outer zones armed. Bypassed zones are not protected. CENTRAL STATION The office that the alarm system calls when there is an alarm.
THE LIMITATIONS OF YOUR ALARM SYSTEM While your alarm system is reliable and sophisticated, it does not offer guaranteed protection against burglary or fire. Any alarm system, whether commercial or residential, is subject to compromise or failure-to-warn for a variety of reasons. These include: Intruders may gain access through unprotected openings or have the technical sophistication to bypass an alarm sensor or disconnect an alarm warningdevice.
As required by UL Standard 1023, your alarm system is a Grade "A" system (see definition on page 38). Alarm system malfunctions and failures are caused most often by INADEQUATE MAINTENANCE. Your alarm system should be tested weekly to make sure that all detection devices are working properly. In addition, if your system is being monitored, you should periodically test its ability to transmit signals to our central station. These tests should be performed weekly: .
