The Emergency Alarm Keys [A], [B], and [C] may generate Fire, Special Emergency, and Panic Alarms if programmed by the installer.
Ask your installing company to explain the function of these keys.
When using the Emergency Keys, they must be pressed for two seconds to generate an alarm.
If the Emergency Alarm Keys are to be used, they should be labeled to signify their functions.
The A key should be labeled as the Fire key. This is the only key that may be designated as the Fire key.
The B key should be labeled as the Special Emergency key.
The C key should be labeled as the Panic key.
Use the Disarming Command Sequence [PIN] + [Off] to cancel or silence these alarms.
No fire detection device or system should be considered 100% foolproof.
This fire alarm system can provide early warning of a developing
fire. Such a system, however, does not ensure protection against
property damage or loss of life resulting from a fire. Any fire alarm
system may fail to warn for any number of reasons (i.e. smoke not
reaching a detector that is behind a closed door).
When considering detectors for residential applications, refer to
NFPA Standard 72, “The National Fire Alarm Code.” This standard
is available at a nominal cost from: The National Fire Protection
Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
7.13.1 If Installed in Family Residences
Adherence to the NFPA Standard 72 can lead to reasonable fire
safety when the following items are practiced:
7.13 Fire
Safety
• Minimize hazards: Avoid the three traditional fire killers: smoking
in bed, leaving children home alone and cleaning with flammable
liquids.
• Providing a fire warning system: Most fire deaths occur in the
home, the majority during sleeping hours. The minimum level of
protection requires smoke detectors to be installed outside of each
separate sleeping area and on each additional story of the
dwelling.
For added early warning protection, it is recommended that detectors
be installed in all separated areas including the basement, bedrooms,
dining room, utility room, furnace room, and hallways.
7.11 Fire Reset/Fire Trouble
7.11.1 Fire Reset
During a fire alarm, exit the premises immediately. When you have
determined there is no fire, you may silence the bells/sirens before
you initiate the [System Reset] command: [PIN] + [System Reset].
Before the [System Reset] command is used, determine which
smoke detector has alarmed so the monitoring company may verify
its operation.
To use the System Reset command sequence, your PIN
must have disarm privileges. The System Reset command
will perform a fire reset, a battery test, and will clear all
system troubles.
If the System Reset command has not been performed
after 24 hours of the Fire Alarm, the keypad will sound and
it will display “Fire Alarm Not Reset.” If the sounders have
been silenced and the system has been reset properly,
this warning will not occur.
7.11.2 Fire Trouble
A Fire Trouble message with a zone number signifies a problem
with the fire system, such as a break in the wiring that monitors
smoke detectors. A Fire Trouble message with no zone number
indicates a ground fault if the unit is in the commercial fire mode.
A Fire Trouble will be indicated by a short beep from the keypad
sounders every 10 seconds. The DS7447/DS7447E will display
“Fire Trouble” followed by the zones in a trouble condition. The
DS7445/DS7445i will turn the Fire and Trouble Lights on steady
and will light the corresponding zone LEDs.
Notify your installing company immediately if the Fire Trouble
message is displayed.
The Fire Trouble beep can be silenced with any [PIN] followed by
the [Off] key. After problems have been remedied, [PIN] + [Off] should
again be entered to clear the “Fire Trouble” display.
7.11.3 Dirty Smoke
A Dirty Smoke display, followed by a zone number and accompanied
by a beep every ten seconds indicates that the smoke detector for
that zone requires cleaning or replacement. The smoke detector
will also give a Dirty indication by flashing its LED once per second.
The Dirty Smoke beep can be silenced with any [PIN] followed by
the [Off] key.
Notify your installing company immediately if the Dirty Smoke
message is displayed.
