If the zone is a Delayed Fire Zone, there will be a delay before the system contacts the monitoring station. This will prevent unnecessary reporting of false alarms. If there is no fire condition, contact your monitoring station immediately to avoid an unnecessary response.
1686_EU08.fm Page 27 Wednesday, September 29, 2004 2:29 PM Figure 2: Delayed Fire Zone Flowchart Minimizing Fire Hazards The three most common causes of fires: • Cooking is the leading cause of home fires in the U.S. It's also the leading cause of fire injuries.
1686_EU08.fm Page 28 Wednesday, September 29, 2004 2:29 PM rather than mechanical failure of stoves or ovens. • Careless smoking is the leading cause of fire deaths. Smoke detectors and smolder-resistant bedding and upholstered furniture are significant fire deterrents. • Heating is the second leading cause of residential fires. However, heating fires are a larger problem in single family homes than in apartments since the heating systems in single family homes are often not professionally maintained.
1686_EU08.fm Page 29 Wednesday, September 29, 2004 2:29 PM 7.0 Testing & Maintenance With the system disarmed and the READY light ON, activate motion detectors by walking in the protected area. Open and close protected doors and verify that the corresponding button illuminates. Your installer can advise you of the best way to test your particular system. Do not use open flame or burning materials to test your fire detection devices. Contact your installer for safe methods of testing your system.
