Paging Feature
Automatic Paging
If the Paging feature has been programmed for your system, your pager will respond to certain conditions as
they occur in your system by displaying a message that indicates the type of condition that has occurred.
The message appears in a 7-digit format explained below. The system can also be programmed to send up
to 16 additional digits that will appear in front of the 7-digit message. These 16 digits may consist of a PIN
number or special digits needed by the pager, account number, pauses, or any other special characters you
may choose (for example, you may want to use a special character code to distinguish between security
system messages and usual pager messages). See your installer if these additional characters are desired.
Code Format
The Pager Code takes the following form: (AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA) EEE-00NN
AAA… = Optional 16 digits, programmed by your installer.
EEE = 3-digit number describing the event that has occurred, as follows:
911 = Alarm (00NN following indicates the zone that caused the alarm)
101 = Open, system disarmed (00NN following indicates user number)
102 = Close, system armed (00NN following indicates user number)
811 = Trouble (00NN following indicates the zone that caused the trouble)
00NN = First two digits are always 00, followed by 2-digit user or zone number, depending on
the type of event that occurred. If NN = 00, it can mean an AC loss has occurred, the
system battery is low, or a 5827 wireless keypad battery is low. The Master Keypad
will indicate the specific condition.
Examples:
Pager displays: 911–0004
This indicates your system is reporting an alarm (911) due to a fault on zone 4 (0004).
Pager displays: 101–0005
This indicates that your system is reporting an open/disarm (101) by user 5 (0005).
Manual Paging
In addition, your system may have been programmed to send a unique pager message when the
AUX
key is
pressed (see AUX FUNCTION section for alternate function of this key). The actual message sent is 999-
9999 (the hyphen may not appear, depending on your pager service). This code can be used to alert the
person with the pager to whatever meaning you pre-arrange (e.g., “call home”). Ask your installer if this
has been done for your system.
To manually send the pager message, if programmed:
AUX
(hold until 4 beeps sound)
