Disarming the System
Use the
OFF
key to disarm the system and to silence alarm and trouble sounds. See the
SUMMARY OF
AUDIBLE NOTIFICATION
section for information, which will help you to distinguish between fire and
burglary alarm sounds.
IMPORTANT:
If you return and the main burglary sounder is on, DO NOT enter the premises, but call
the police from a nearby safe location. If you return after an alarm has occurred and the main sounder has
shut itself off, the keypad will beep rapidly upon entering. This indicates that an alarm has occurred during
your absence and an intruder may still be on the premises. LEAVE IMMEDIATELY and CONTACT
THE POLICE from a nearby safe location.
To disarm the system and silence burglary alarms:
+
OFF
Your user code
The READY indicator will light (if no alarms have occurred while armed) and the keypad will beep once to
confirm that the system is disarmed.
Memory of Alarm
If an alarm occurs, the keypad displays the zone number (s) that caused the alarm and the type of alarm
(e.g., “FIRE ALARM”). These messages remain displayed until cleared by a user.
To clear the display, note the zone number displayed and enter an OFF sequence (enter your security code
and press the
OFF
key).
If the READY indicator is blinking, go to the displayed zone and correct the fault (close windows, etc.). If
the fault cannot be corrected, notify your alarm company.
