Exit Alarm Warning
Displays and Sounds
Ask your installer if "Exit
Alarm Warning" is active
for your system, and if
so, check here:
Your system may support and have been programmed for this feature.
When arming, if an exit or interior zone contains a fault during closing
at the time the exit
delay ends
, the alarm sounder and keypad sound continuously to alert you that an
unwanted alarm can be prevented if you take action:
If you disarm the system during the entry delay period that will immediately follow,
the
sound stops. The keypad displays "CANCELED ALARM "or "CA" as well as a zone
indication. No message is transmitted to the central station.
If the system is NOT disarmed during the immediately following entry delay period,
the
sounds continue until the system is disarmed (or alarm sounder timeout occurs). The
keypad displays "EXIT ALARM" or "EA" as well as a zone indication. An "exit alarm"
message will be sent to the central station.
Note:
The latter "EXIT ALARM" conditions also result if an alarm from an exit or
interior zone occurs within two minutes after the end of an exit delay.
In any of the above cases, a second OFF sequence (security code + OFF key) will clear
the keypad display.
CHIME MODE
Using the
9 CHIME Key
This feature can be used
only while the burglary
system is disarmed.
Your system can be set to alert you to the opening of a door or window while it is dis-
armed by using CHIME mode. When activated, three tones will sound at the Keypad
whenever a door or window is opened. Pressing the READY key will display the open
protection points.
To turn Chime Mode on, enter the security code and press the CHIME key. The CHIME
message will appear.
To turn Chime Mode off, enter the security code and press the CHIME key again. The
CHIME message will disappear.
