ADT Security Services iCenter 8132 User Manual

							Fire Alarm System Operation (Contd)

• Install a smoke detector at both ends of a hallway if the hallway is more than 40 
feet (12 meters) long. 
• Install smoke detectors in any room where an alarm control is located, or in any 
room where alarm control connections to an AC source or phone lines are made. 
If detectors are not so located, a fire within the room could prevent the control 
from reporting a fire or an intrusion. 
Recommendations For Proper Intrusion Protection 
For proper intrusion coverage, sensors should be located at every possible point of 
entry to a home or commercial premises. This would include any skylights that may 
be present, and the upper windows in a multi-level building. 
In addition, we recommend that radio backup be used in a security system so that 
alarm signals can still be sent to the alarm monitoring station in the event that the 
telephone lines are out of order (alarm signals are normally sent over the phone 
lines, if connected to an alarm monitoring station). 
Recommendations for Evacuation 
Establish and regularly practice a plan of escape in the event of fire. The National 
Fire Protection Association recommends the following steps: 
1.  Position your detector or your interior and/or exterior sounders so that all 
occupants can hear them. 
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 may be a window, 
should your path 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 routes free 
from obstruction 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 if smoke or heat rushes in. 
6.  Where smoke is present, crawl on the ground; do not walk upright. Smoke rises 
and may overcome you. Clearer air is near the floor. 
7.  Escape quickly; dont panic.

8.  Establish a common meeting 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.

User Code Setup 
 
Introduction to User Code Setup 
Each user must be assigned a name with a corresponding 4-digit user code in order 
to gain access to various features and functions. Through iCenter/iCenter-i, you may 
program users to access any and all of the following systems: 
• Fire/Burglary 
• Internet 
Users for the systems are programmed in a central user setup location that provides 
the specific questions for the user pertaining to each system.  You may want these 
users to be the same, but there are situations in which you may want a user to have 
access to one system (e.g., Internet) without having access to another (e.g., the 
Fire/Burglary system).
