Introduction XR150FC/ XR550FCUser’s Guide 1
The National Fire Protection Association recommends that you
establish an emergency evacuation plan to safeguard lives in the
event of a Àre or other emergency.
Draw a Àoorplan of your home or business
On a sheet of paper, draw the walls, windows, doors, and stairs.
Also draw any obstacles, such as large furniture or appliances, a
person may encounter while exiting the building.
Devel p escape r utes
Determine at least two routesthe occupantsin each room can take
to safely escape. One route can be the most obvious such as the
door. Another can be through a window that can be easily opened.
If the window is high off the ground, an escape ladder should be
provided. Draw arrowson the Áoorplan to show escape routesfrom
each room.
Decide where to meet
Prearrange a meeting place outside and away from where
emergency personnel are likely to be working. A neighbor’s house
or across the street in the front of the house are good locations.
Always perform a head count to make sure all occupants safely
exited. NEVERENTERABURNINGBUILDING. If the head count shows
one or more persons missing, give this information immediately to
the authorities. Never enter a building to look for someone.
Practice y ur escape pla s
Devising an escape plan is only the beginning, before the plan can
be effective everyone should practice the escape routesfrom each
room.

Early detecti
The best way to survive a Àre or other emergency is to get out
early. The installation of a Àre alarm system, with smoke and
carbon monoxide detectors in each room, can greatly decrease
your risk of loss or injury.

permanent programming in the panel.
REARMDELAYisalso used to delay a late to close message to the
central station when the panel doesnot use automatic arming.
If the user has Extend Schedule authority, 2HR 4HR 6HR 8HR
displays at disarming. If the user doesnot make a choice, the RE

to be armed at all times. When the custodian needs to remove
trash, program 10 minutes for the activity. Or, an overhead door
only requires access when a delivery is made. Program up to 250
minutes to allow the loading dock supervisor to load or unload a
semi-truck.
