Silence a False Fire Alarm
In the event of a false fire alarm (for example, burning food or another non-emergency condition), you can silence the
alarm .
To silence the alarm:
1 .
Enter an active user code to silence the alarm .
IMPORTANT:
Consult your installer to determine how the
Abort Window Dialer Delay
is configured on your system.
This defines the amount of time the system will wait to initiate the digital dialer when an alarm condition is triggered
and specifies the number of seconds you have to manually abort the alarm, before an alarm report is sent to the
Central Station .
IMPORTANT:
Consult your installer to determine how the
Alarm Cancel Time
is configured on your system. This
defines the amount of time you have to send an alarm cancellation report to the Central Station. The factory default
setting for the system is five (5) minutes.
2 .
Review the Alarms screen to determine which sensor activated the alarm .
NOTE:
If the alarm restarts, smoke may be present in the alarm’s detection chamber . Enter the user code again .
Then fan the detection chamber on the sensor for 30 seconds .
3 .
After the problem has been addressed, tap the
Clear Alarm History
button .
NOTE:
For Smoke/Heat Alarms and CO Detectors, the
Clear Alarm History
button will not permit you to clear any
history until the 2GIG EDGE Panel receives a message from the sensor that it has returned to normal operations .
NOTE:
If Smart Areas are configured, the Fire Alarm must be acknowledged and cleared in each Smart Area. This
can be done at a keypad assigned to that area or by using the
Smart Areas
button on the home screen .
In the Event of a Carbon Monoxide Alarm
Detectors may have been installed to safeguard the occupants of your dwelling from the dangerous and possibly deadly
effects of CO gas . See
Safety Precautions and Notations
, pg 7 .
If a CO alarm is activated, the system emits a warning siren until the system no longer detects CO in the environment .
To respond to a CO alarm event:
1 .
Gather all occupants and immediately move to fresh air (either go outdoors or stand by an open door/window) .
DANGER!!!
To protect yourself and others from injury and/or death, do not re-enter the home or move away from
the open door/window until the premises has been approved for safe re-entry by emergency officials. To learn
about other ways to safeguard your home from the harmful effects of CO, refer to the guidelines defined by your
local, state, or regional officials.
2 .
Dial 9-1-1 (or your region’s emergency services number) to report the situation to authorities .
Always call from safe location .
3 .
Survey each person’s health, checking for flu-like symptoms and other evidence of CO poisoning.
TIP:
To prevent a future occurrence, contact an industry professional to evaluate all possible sources of CO gas in
the dwelling .
NOTE:
If Smart Areas are configured, the CO Alarm must be acknowledged and cleared in each Smart Area. This
can be done at a keypad assigned to each area or by using the Smart Areas button on the home screen .
