Fire Supervisory/Trouble (Resetting Smoke Detectors)
Many smoke detectors "latch on" and illuminate a built-in indicator when trig-
gered. This feature allows you to determine which detector caused the alarm. If a
smoke detector remains latched after resetting a fire alarm activation, the yellow
TROUBLE indicator will be lit.
1. Check all smoke detectors for the presence of a latched condition to
determine which detector triggered the alarm. If all detectors appear
normal, a wire may be broken or shorted. Call for service.
2. Press Key 7 and hold for three seconds. The system will attempt to reset
the smoke detectors. If the smoke detector(s) did not reset, the keypad will
continue to indicate the TROUBLE condition. Call your security company
representative for service.
NOTE
If a fire alarm is active, smoke detectors cannot be manually reset until the
fire alarm is reset.
Testing The Fire System
All devices in a Fire Alarm system should be tested monthly except as described
in NFPA 72 chapter 7-3-2. If the Bell Test on page 1-13 does not test the fire
alarm bell, then follow these steps:
1. Notify the Central Station or the appropriate authorities that you are about to
perform a fire system test.
2. Press and hold for three seconds the Keypad Panic Key
(see FIGURE 1-1) that is designated as the Fire Panic Key. The Fire
Alarm should go off.
3. Enter your passcode and press Reset (*) to silence the alarm.
