Status List
The keypad Status List displays any alarm or trouble condition on a
zone and any trouble condition that occurs with the AC power or
battery power. If more than one alarm or trouble condition occurs at
the same time, the keypad sequences this information on its display.
If your system contains any Panic zones, these are
not
displayed on
the keypad for security reasons.
If an alarm occurs on a non-fire 24 hour zone or a system monitor, it
remains in the Status List until it restores. If one or more armed
burglary zones trips, the last one to trip remains in the Status List. The
burglary zone alarm remains in the Status List for several minutes or
until it's cleared by disarming the system.
Exit Error
This is an automatic function of the panel that prevents an alarm from
occurring if an exit door doesn't close all the way after the system has
been armed. Here's how it works:
You close all doors and windows, arm the system, and then leave by
the front door. You close the door but it doesn't latch and opens
slightly causing the front door zone to show as an open to the system.
After the exit delay time expires the system attempts to arm the front
door zone but recognizes the open condition and, instead of sending
an alarm report to the central station, sends an Exit Error report and
force arms the door. (If the door closes at a later time it will be included
back into the system.) The system sounds the alarm sirens for 15
seconds to alert you of the condition and provide an opportunity for
you to close the door.
The Exit Error feature allows the central station to acknowledge the
arming error without dispatching the police on a false alarm.
Understanding Security System Terms
Central Station Monitoring
Your system can also be programmed to automatically send alarm,
trouble, and arming and disarming reports to a central station.
Operators at the central station can in turn dispatch the appropriate
authorities or contact you with the specific event information.
Status
Status is a feature that automatically displays the armed or disarmed
status of your system on the Security Command keypads. Alarm or
trouble conditions on a zone or a system monitor such as AC or
battery trouble can also be displayed. There are two types of status
information available: Armed Status and Status List.
Armed Status
With Armed Status, the keypad displays the current armed condition
of areas within your security system.
The keypad displays When
PERIMETER ON The perimeter zones are on
ALL SYSTEM ON All zones are on
PERIM/INT ON The perimeter and interior zones are on
but the bedroom zone is off
Also, for keypads that include an Armed LED, the Armed LED is ON
steady anytime a burglary protection area is armed and OFF when
ALL areas are disarmed.
