(continued) SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Alarms When an alarm occurs, both the keypad and external sounders will sound,
and a message at the keypad will identify the zone(s) causing the alarm. In
addition, if your system is connected to a central monitoring station, an
alarm message will be sent. To stop the alarm sounding, you simply disarm
the system.
Fire Protection
The fire protection portion of your security system (if used) is always on
and will sound an alarm if a fire condition is detected. Refer to the
FIRE
ALARM SYSTEM
section for important information concerning fire pro-
tection, smoke detectors and planning emergency exit routes from your
premises.
Burglary Protection
The burglary protection portion of your system must be turned on or
"armed" before it will sense burglary alarm conditions and sound an alarm.
Your system can be armed in one of four modes: STAY, AWAY, INSTANT
and MAXIMUM. Refer to the
ARMING THE SYSTEM
sections for
instructions in using these modes of operation.
Your system also provides a CHIME mode for alerting you to the opening
and closing of doors and windows while the system is disarmed.
Memory Of Alarm
When an alarm or trouble condition occurs, the keypad displays the
number(s) of the zone(s) that caused the problem, and displays the type
of alarm or trouble (ex. FIRE, ALARM, CHECK). The display remains until it
is cleared by entering the OFF sequence (security code + OFF key) twice.
Pager Notification
If the paging feature has been programmed for your system, a pager will
respond to certain conditions as they occur in your system, and display
code numbers indicating the type of condition that has occurred, as follows:
1811 = Trouble 1911 = Alarm
1001 = Open 1002 = Close
Check with your installer for additional information.
