Smart Hub Setup Guide Security Sensor Numbers and Types Each security sensor installed as part of the system — whether wireless or wired — is configured to correspond to a specific sensor number and sensor type (i.e., zone). Sensor Numbers The sensor number identifies the specific sensor, and is used when the sensor is: displayed on the control panel recorded in the event log reported to the Central Station This provides precise information about every security sensor in the system. Sensor Types The sensor type (sometimes referred to as a sensor zone) determines how and when the control panel responds to signals from the sensor. Some sensors are armed all the time, others are armed only in certain arming levels, and some sensors cause Central Station reports anytime they are activated. The sensor type, along with other configuration options, determine this behavior. The following list describes each of the sensor types/zones. (00) Unused This is the setting for unused sensor numbers that do not have a sensor configured into them. No system action occurs at any time from this sensor type. (01) Exi t/Entr y 1 This sensor type is reserved for doors that are used for exit and entry. When the system is armed in the Away ...
Page 17
Configure System Settings: Security Sensor Numbers and Types (04) Inter i or F ol l ower This sensor type is for interior sensors such as motion detector, interior doors, and other sensors that detect human presence inside the protected area. This type of sensor is called a "follower" due to its action when the system is armed in the Away Mode. After the Exit Delay expires and the system is armed, if an interior follower sensor is triggered, an instant alarm will occur. Interior follower sensors are always bypassed and not active when the system is armed in Stay Mode. This allows the protected area to be occupied while still protecting the perimeter. (05) Day Zone This sensor type is the same as a perimeter zone, except when the system is disarmed, opening the sensor displays a trouble alert on the control panel display. Common uses for this sensor type are protection of sensitive areas that require notification and possibly a Central Station trouble report, but not an alarm when the system is disarmed. (06) 24-hour Si l ent Al ar m This sensor type is active independent of the system arming status. The code for silent panic is sent to the Central Station, but for safety, there are no visual or audible indications locally that this sensor type has been triggered. (07) 24-hour Audi bl e Al ar m This sensor type is continuously armed 24-hours a day. A sensor configured to this type will trigger a local alarm ...

Smart Hub Setup Guide (16) 24-hour F i r e wi th Ver i f i cati on ** This sensor type is continuously armed 24-hours a day. A sensor configured to this type can trigger the local alarm fire sounder and the external siren regardless of the mode the system is in. Typical use would be for wireless smoke detectors. This sensor type is always active and cannot be bypassed. For verification, this sensor type must be violated twice in two minutes, or remain violated for 30 seconds. If any other fire sensor (verified sensor type or not) violates within two minutes, both sensors will cause a fire alarm. (23) No Response Type This sensor type is a special zone that can be monitored for activity or inactivity by the Central Station. It does not affect security system status. (24) Si l ent Bur gl ar y This sensor type is for silent triggering the burglary alarm with perimeter doors and windows that will not be used to enter or exit the protected area while the system is armed. The control panel’s alarm sounder and the external siren will not activate.

Smart Hub Setup Guide Fire Protection and Safety Information Fire Alarm System Your system may be installed with smoke detectors and carbon monoxide (CO) detectors as part of an overall fire and gas protection system. The fire protection part of the security system is active 24 hours a day, offering continuous protection. In the event of a fire or poisonous CO gas emergency, the installed smoke or CO detector will automatically activate your security system. A loud, intermittent horn will sound from the panel, and the external sounder will produce an intermittent siren (if an external sounder has been installed). The fire sounder will continue until the fire horn timer expires or until a valid User PIN code is entered. Manual Fire Alarm If you become aware of a fire emergency before your detectors sense the problem, follow these steps: 1. Yell FIRE! to alert anyone else around. 2. Go to your control panel and press the Emergency button, then press and hold the Fire button for at least two seconds. THE FIRE ALARM WILL SOUND. 3. Evacuate all occupants from your home, and then call your local fire department from a safe location. Automatic Fire Alarm If your detectors trigger a fire emergency alarm before you sense a problem AND the fire alarm is already sounding, follow these steps: 1. If flames and/or smoke are present, yell FIRE! to alert anyone else around. 2. Evacuate all occupants from your home, and then call your local fire department from a safe location. 1. If no flames or smoke are apparent, investigate the possible causes of the alarm. 2. ...

Regulatory Information: Fire Protection and Safety Information 3. If the alarm restarts, there may still be smoke in the detector’s sensor. Enter your User PIN code again to stop the alarm. Fan the detector for 30 seconds to clear the detector’s sensor chamber. 4. After the problem has been corrected, clear the alarm history. (Fire & CO sensors that are still violated cannot be cleared from alarm history until the device returns to normal operation. Carefully inspect the premises for danger if fire or CO sensors remain in alarm.) Installing Smoke Detectors Follow the guidelines below when installing smoke alarms/detectors (from the National Fire Protection Association website: nfpa.org). Choose smoke alarms that have the label of a recognized testing laboratory. Install smoke alarms inside each bedroom, outside each sleeping area and on every level of the home, including the basement. On levels without bedrooms, install alarms in the living room (or den or family room) or near the stairway to the upper level, or in both locations. Smoke alarms installed in the basement should be installed on the ceiling at the bottom of the stairs leading to the next level. Smoke alarms should be installed at least 10 feet (3 meters) from a cooking appliance to minimize false alarms when cooking. Mount smoke alarms high on walls or ceilings (remember, smoke rises). Wall-mounted alarms should be installed not more than 12 inches away from the ceiling (to the top of the alarm). If you have ceilings that are pitched, install the alarm within 3 feet of the peak but not within the apex of the peak (four inches down from the peak) Don't install smoke alarms near windows, doors, or ducts where drafts might interfere with their operation.

Smart Hub Setup Guide Recommended Smoke Detector Locations The National Fire Protection Association’s (NFPA) Standard 72 recommends the following placement for smoke detectors: ► Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection equipment in all rooms and areas of the household. The equipment should be installed as follows: A smoke detector installed outside each separate sleeping area, in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on each additional story of the family living unit, including basements and excluding crawl spaces and unfinished attics. In addition, the NFPA recommends that you install smoke detectors in the living room, dining room, bedroom(s), kitchen, hallway(s), finished attics, furnace room, utility and storage rooms, and attached garages. See the images below for examples of smoke detector location. --------------- Example of 30 ft (9 m) spacing criterion for Example of spacing criterion of one or more smoke dwellings with interior floor areas greater than alarms for every 500 ft²...

Regulatory Information: Fire Protection and Safety Information Emergency Evacuation Plan To establish and regularly practice a plan of escape in the event of fire, the following steps are recommended by the National Fire Protection Association: 1. Position your detector or your interior and/or exterior sounders so that they can be heard by all occupants in your home. 2. Determine two means of escape from each room. One path of escape should lead to the door that permits normal exit from the building. The other should be an alternate escape, such as a window, should your path to that door be impassable. Station an escape ladder at such windows if there is a long drop to the ground. 3. Sketch a floor plan of the building. Show windows, doors, stairs, and rooftops that can be used to escape. Indicate escape routes for each room. Keep these route free from obstructions and post copies of the escape routes in every room. 4. Assure that all bedroom doors are shut while you are asleep. This will prevent deadly smoke from entering while you escape. 5. Try the door. If the door is hot, check your alternate escape route. If the door is cool, open it cautiously. Be prepared to slam the door shut if smoke or heat rushes in. 6. When smoke is present, crawl on the ground. Do NOT walk upright, since smoke rises and may overcome you. Clearer air is near the floor. 7. Escape quickly; don’t panic. 8. Establish a place outdoors, away from your house, where everyone can meet and then take steps to contact the authorities and account for those missing. Choose someone to assure that nobody returns to the house — many die going back. - 87 -...
