Fire Alarms - Bosch Security System User Manual

Fire Alarms

Fire alarms are the highest priority events. When a fire point
activates, your keypad emits a pulsating high-pitched fire tone.
Evacuate all occupants and investigate for smoke or fire. Ensure
that all occupants know the difference between the burglary tone
and the fire tone. The tone sounds for the time set by your security
company.
The keypad display shows the point text of the first point that
went into fire alarm. Press the NEXT key to manually display
additional points (if any) that went into alarm. Events scroll from
the oldest to the newest.
Silencing Fire Alarms
Entering a personal passcode with the proper authority level
silences a fire alarm and disarms the system if it is armed. The
system now displays ALARM SILENCED and then the number of
points in alarm (A1 ## FIRE ALARM) and the custom text of all
the points in alarm, in the order of occurrence. Your system can
be programmed so that you cannot silence some fire alarms until
the fire event clears. Entering COMMAND 4 clears the scrolling
point text from the display. The ALARM SILENCED message
continues to scroll as a reminder that it is still possible to view the
text of the points in alarm by using the View Memory function.
See VIEW MEMORY ? (COMMAND 40) for more information.
To clear the event memory and remove the ALARM SILENCED
message from the display, enter a valid passcode and press the
ESC key, or re-arm the area.
If a fire trouble still exists, the display shows FIRE TROUBLE.
To remove this display, the fire point(s) must be returned to
normal. If you wish to review cleared events, use COMMAND
40.
