2.7 Partitioning

Your Spectra system is equipped with a partitioning feature that can divide your alarm system into two distinct areas identified as Partition 1 and Partition 2. Partitioning can be used in installations where shared security systems are more practical, such as a home office or warehouse building. When partitioned, each zone, each user code and many of your system's features can be assigned to either Partition 1, Partition 2, or both partitions.
If the system is not partitioned, all zones, user codes, and features will be recognized as belonging to Partition 1.

Minimizing Fire Hazards The three most common causes of fires: Cooking is the leading cause of home fires in the U.S. It's also the leading cause of fire injuries. Cooking fires often result from unattended cooking and human error, rather than mechanical failure of stoves or ovens. Careless smoking is the leading cause of fire deaths. Smoke detectors and smolder-resistant bedding and upholstered furniture are significant fire deterrents. Heating is the second leading cause of residential fires. However, heating fires are a larger problem in single family homes than in apartments since the heating systems in single family homes are often not professionally maintained. Fire Safety Tips In the event of a fire, escape first, then call for help. Develop a home fire escape plan and designate a meeting place outside. Make sure everyone in the family knows two ways to escape from every room. Practice feeling your way out with your eyes closed. Never stand up in a fire, always crawl low under the smoke and try to keep 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.

Spectra Keypads 35

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.

7.0 Testing & Maintenance
With the system disarmed and the READY light ON, activate motion detectors by walking in the protected area. Open and close protected doors and verify that the corresponding key illuminates. 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 at what frequency they should be performed.
