 SCREEN ACTION  
 
 NOTE:  Once the system is disarmed, 
iCenter/iCenter-i will return to the Home 
screen after the selected “To Home Page 
After” time has expired.  This time is selected 
on the “Setup” screen. 
 
How to Disarm Using a Keyswitch 
To disarm the partition, 
    turn the key to the right and release. If an alarm has 
occurred, the red light will be flashing rapidly (memory of alarm). 
How to Check the Status of Other Partitions 
This system supports between one and eight Partitions (as configured by your 
installer.)  Partitioning enables a single physical alarm system to control up to eight 
areas of protection (partitions). Each iCenter/iCenter-i and Touchpad is assigned a 
default partition for display purposes, and will show only that partitions 
information.  
For example, if your physical site is a four-apartment housing unit, this alarm 
system would be configured with four partitions. Each apartment’s zones (door, 
windows, smoke detectors, etc.) are assigned to separate partitions, giving each 
apartment independent arming/disarming control of its own partition (area).  A 
landlord or manager may be granted access to all partitions, so he/she can control 
the entire system. 
If a user is so authorized, an iCenter/iCenter-i or Touchpad in one partition can be 
used to perform system functions in another partition. (Note that only those 
partitions authorized and programmed by the installer can be accessed in this 
manner.)

To check the status of other partitions perform the following: 
SCREEN   ACTION 
 1.  From the Home screen press the 
SECURITY button to display the Arming 
screen.

Enter Code”. 
 
 
 3.  Enter the code authorized to access other 
partition(s).   
If the code is accepted, the system displays 
the partitions that user has access to.   
NOTE:  A code may have access to some (but 
not all) of the available partitions. 
 
 
 
 
This screen displays the available partitions (in 
this case, Partitions 1 and 2), and their current 
status.   
The current partition is shown at the top of the 
display (in this example, the device is attached 
to Partition 1 (P1)).  To change this 
assignment, select the appropriate button (e.g. 
press P2 to switch control to Partition 2).

Fire Alarm System Operation 
 
Introduction to Fire Alarm System Operation 
Your fire alarm system (if installed) is on 24 hours a day, providing continuous 
protection.  In the event of an emergency, the installed smoke and heat detectors 
will automatically send signals to your Control/Communicator, triggering a loud 
interrupting sound from the Touchpad.  An interrupted sound will also be produced 
by optional exterior sounders.  A FIRE message will appear at your Touchpad and 
remain on until you silence the alarm. 
In Case of Fire Alarm 
1.  Should you become aware of a fire emergency before your detectors sense the 
problem, go to your nearest Touchpad and manually initiate an alarm by 
pressing the panic key assigned as FIRE emergency (if programmed by the 
installer) and hold down for at least 2 seconds. 
2.  Evacuate all occupants from the premises. 
3.  If flames and/or smoke are present, leave the premises and notify your local Fire 
Department immediately. 
If no flames or smoke are apparent, investigate the cause of the alarm.  The zone 
descriptor of the zone(s) in an alarm condition will appear at the Touchpad. 
Silencing a Fire Alarm 
1.  Silence the alarm by entering your code and pressing the OFF key.  To clear the 
display, enter your code and press the OFF key again 
2.  If the Touchpad does not indicate a READY condition after the second OFF 
sequence, press the READY key to display the zone(s) that are faulted.  Be sure 
to check that smoke detectors are not responding to smoke or heat producing 
objects in their vicinity.  In this case, eliminate the source of heat or smoke. 
3.  If this does not remedy the problem, there may still be smoke in the detector.  
Clear it by fanning the detector for about 30 seconds. 
4.  When the problem has been corrected, clear the display by entering your code 
and pressing the OFF key. 
Fire Display Lock 
If several zones produce an alarm before any are silenced, the system can be 
programmed to lock the Touchpad display with the first zone that produced an 
alarm. Ask your installer if your system has been activated with this feature. To 
display the other zone(s), press the [✴] key for each zone.  Also the “A”, “B”, or “C” 
keys can be programmed to scroll the Touchpad display to view the previous or 
subsequent fire alarms.

Recommendations for Proper Protection 
THE FOLLOWING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE LOCATION OF FIRE AND 
BURGLARY DETECTION DEVICES HELP PROVIDE PROPER COVERAGE FOR 
THE PROTECTED PREMISES. 
Recommendations For Smoke And Heat Detectors 
With regard to the number and placement of smoke/heat detectors, we subscribe to 
the recommendations contained in the National Fire Protection Associations 
(NFPA) Standard #72 noted below. 
    
Early  warning fire  de t e ct ion is be st  achie ve d by  t he  inst allat ion of fire  de t e ct ion 
equipment in all rooms and areas of the household as follows: For minimum 
prote ction a smoke  de te ctor should be  installe d outside  of e ach se parate  sle e ping 
are a, and on e ach addit ional floor of a mult i-floor family  living unit , including 
base me nts. The  installation of smoke  de te ctors
 in kitche ns, attics (finishe d or 
unfinishe d), or in garage s is not  normally  re comme nde d.  
For additional protection the NFPA recommends that you install heat or smoke 
detectors in the living room, dining room, bedroom(s), kitchen, hallway(s), attic, 
furnace room, utility and storage rooms, basements and attached garages.

In addition, we recommend the following: 
• Install a smoke detector inside every bedroom where a smoker sleeps. 
• Install a smoke detector inside every bedroom where someone sleeps with the 
door partly or completely closed. Smoke could be blocked by the closed door. 
Also, an alarm in the hallway outside may not wake up the sleeper if the door is 
closed. 
• Install a smoke detector inside bedrooms where electrical appliances (such as 
portable heaters, air conditioners or humidifiers) are used.
