Programming Device Timers (cont’d) 
Randomize Output Device Times 
Devices  in  your  system  may  be  set  for  a  random  sche dule,  whereby  they  will 
turn  on  and  off  at  different  times  each  day.  This  i s  useful  when  going  on 
vacation  and  you  desire  the  turning  on  and  off  of  t he  lights  to  the  give  the 
appearance  of  someone  being  home.  Your  installer  se ts  these  devices  for  a 
random  schedule.  You  can  initiate  a  random  schedule   by  either  of  the 
following methods:  
1.   Enter your security code and press  # 
 followed by 41. 
This  will  randomize,  up  to  30  minutes,  the  activati on  time  of  all  devices, 
programmed for randomization,  assigned to  the parti tion  the sequence is 
entered in. Enter the sequence again to turn off th e random schedule. 
2.   Enter your security code and press   # 
 followed by 42.  
This is the same as the method above, except the ra ndomization occurs 
only on devices with activation times within 6 PM a nd 5 AM. Enter the 
same sequence again to turn off the random schedule .

Fire Alarm System 
Your  fire  alarm  system  (if  installed)  is  on  24  hour s  a  day,  providing 
continuous  protection.    In  the  event  of  an  emergenc y,  the  smoke  and  heat 
detectors  automatically  send  signals  to  your  Contro l,  triggering  a  loud 
interrupting  sound  from  the  keypad  and  the  optional   exterior  sounders.  
FIRE appears at your keypad and remains on until yo u 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  keypad  and  manually   initiate  an  alarm 
by  pressing  the  panic  key  assigned  as  FIRE  emergenc y  (if  programmed 
by the installer) and hold down for at least 2 seco nds. 
2.   Evacuate all occupants from the premises. 
3.   If  flames  and/or  smoke  are  present,  leave  the  premi ses  and  notify  your 
local Fire Department immediately. 
4.   If  no  flames  or  smoke  are  apparent,  investigate  the   cause  of  the  alarm.  
The descriptor of the zone(s) in alarm appears at t he keypad. 
Silencing a Fire Alarm 
1.  Silence  the  keypad  by  entering  your  code  and  pressi ng  the OFF  key.  
This  may  or  may  not  also  silence  the  fire  bells.    A   second  entry  may  be 
required,  depending  on  system  programming.  To  clear   the  display,  enter 
your code and press the  OFF key again 
2.   If the keypad 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  respo nding  to  smoke  or 
heat  producing  objects  in  their  vicinity.    Should  t his  be  the  case, 
eliminate the source of heat or smoke. 
3.   If  this  does  not  remedy  the  problem,  there  may  stil l  be  smoke  in  the 
detector.  Clear it by fanning the detector for abo ut 30 seconds. 
4.   You can clear the display by entering your code + t he OFF  key.
