your mouth covered. Never return to a burning building for any reason; it may cost you your life. Finally, having

at least one working smoke alarm dramatically increases your chances of surviving a fire. And remember to

practice a home escape plan frequently with your family.

Providing a Fire Warning System

Household fires are especially dangerous at night. Fires produce smoke and deadly gases that can overcome

occupants while they sleep. To warn against fire, smoke detectors should be installed outside each separate

sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on each additional story of the family living unit,

including basements.

Testing & Maintenance

With the system disarmed and the “OFF” light illuminated, activate motion detectors by walking in the protected

area. Open and close protected doors and verify that the corresponding lights illuminate. Your installer can

advise you of the best way to test your particular system.

Do not use open flame or burning materials to test your fire detection devices. Contact your installer for safe

methods of testing your system.

Under normal use, your system requires virtually no maintenance other than regular testing. It is recommended

that the standby battery be changed every three years. Speak to your installer about the necessary tests and

how often they should be performed.

Communicating Through the Internet (IP100)

You can communicate with your security system via the internet by using a system accessory called the IP100

Internet Module (sold separately). The IP100 controls and monitors your security system remotely through any

web browser. It allows for email notifications of important system events such as alarms, arm/ disarm events,

and troubles. For example, receive an email at work when your kids get back from school, or if an alarm occurs

in your system at home.

You can also view live status of your system and arm/disarm your system. For example, you have just left your

office for the weekend but are not sure you remembered to arm it. Simply check the status of your system from

a laptop and arm it remotely. There is no PC software to install, as the IP100 is web-based. It uses a user-

friendly web-page that puts you in control. Consult your installer or refer to the IP100 User manual for more

information.

Communicating Using Text Messages (PCS100)

You can communicate with your security system using text messages (SMS) by using a system accessory

called the PCS100 GSM Module (sold separately). The GSM module allows you to receive text messages of

system events, such as alarms or troubles, on your cellular phone. It also allows you to send text messages to

arm or disarm your system from anywhere in the world. Consult your installer for more information.

Receiving Text Messages

To receive text messages from your system you need to:

• Program the telephone numbers you wish to receive text notifications.

• Select which event groups (alarm, arm/disarm, trouble and trouble restore) will generate text messages.

• Select which partition the phone number is assigned to.
