Intrusion
(Burglary)
Alarms
A steady bell or siren indicates an intrusion alarm.
To silence the alarm:
1. Enter your [access code].
2. If the alarm was unintentional, call your central station or local authorities immediately
to avoid an unnecessary response.
3. Check the alarm memory display to see which zone caused the alarm.
Once the source of the alarm has been corrected, the system will return to the Ready
state.
NOTE: Your LCD5500Z keypad has the capability to display “Communications Can-
celled” if you have central station supervision and if the alarm occurred within a set
communication cancel window. For more information about this feature, ask your
installer.

occurred only during the last armed period.
CAUTION: If you return and find that an alarm has occurred while you were
away, it is possible that an intruder is still on the premises. Go to a nearby safe
location, and call your central station or the local authorities to investigate.
