 QUICK FIND

®

 Alarm Origination - In an 

interconnected system, it is difficult to determine which alarm initiated 

the alarms to sound. The QUICK FIND

®

  feature  will  immediately 

allow  you  to  locate  the  originating  alarm  (once  the  alarms  have 

stopped sounding). To initiate QUICK FIND

®

, press the Test/Silence 

button on any alarm. After releasing the button, the test sequence 

will sound and then stop. Then, the originating alarm will continue to 

sound for approx 50 seconds. In a non-interconnected installation, it 

is necessary to test each alarm to determine the originating alarm. 

Reset the originating alarm.
