Fire Alarm

The fire alarm system installed throughout the cottage is and Aico 3000 series alarm system. It provides smoke and heat alarms for fire detection as well as a CO alarm in the utility room. In the event of an alarm, all sirens will sound.

When the alarm system sounds

If there is a fire, immediately evacuate the premises and telephone the fire brigade.

If the source of the alarm is not obvious and only if safe to do so, go to the Alarm Controller and check to see which indicator is illuminated, Fire or CO.

If the CO indicator is illuminated, open doors and windows while evacuating the premises. Contact the appropriate authorities to report the incident.

Locate the source Alarm

If the FIRE indicator is illuminated and there is no obvious fire, press the button. The LOCATE segment will change from red to blue.

After a 10 to 40 seconds period, all the Alarms in the system will stop sounding except the source Alarm(s).

Silence the source Alarm

If you are satisfied there is no fire but the Smoke/ Heat Alarm is still continuing to alarm you may now silence the system. Wait until the SILENCE segment is flashing red and then press the button. The SILENCE segment will turn blue, after a delay the Alarm(s) will stop sounding and all segments on the controller will flash green momentarily to indicate that the Alarm Controller is back in standby.

For safety reasons, it is not possible to silence CO events remotely.
