• Check the location of smoke detectors. Smoke detectors located too close to bathrooms and
kitchens can trip from steam or smoke from cooking.
• Take note of system beeps, voice announcements, and indicator lights which indicate the
current system status.
Aborting Accidental Alarms
Your system can be set up to let you abort an accidental intrusion, Police or Auxiliary alarm.
If the Dialer Abort feature is turned on, disarming the system within a specified time period will
silence sirens and prevent the system from reporting to the central monitoring station (thus abort-
ing the alarm). Your system will display “report aborted” for a few seconds, if you disarm before
the alarm is reported. If you don’t disarm in time to abort the central station report, the system
automatically sends an “alarm cancelled” report to the central station when the system is dis-
armed. Follow the procedures of your central station to prevent a false dispatch. See “Alarm
Information” in Appendix A to determine if this feature is enabled for your system.
The Dial Abort Delay feature is factory set to 30 seconds. Your installer can change this setting
from 15 - 45 seconds.
Note
Remember that fire alarms cannot be aborted/canceled. Disarming a fire alarm will only silence sirens,
but the alarm is still reported. If an accidental fire alarm has sounded, follow the procedures of your cen-
tral monitoring station to prevent dispatching authorities.
To cancel a Police (intrusion) or Auxiliary alarm:
1. Press 1. Touchpads display “ENTER CODE.”
2. Enter your Access Code.
OR
Enter your Access Code
Note
Programmed Idle Text is
programmed by your
installer and typically identi-
fies the property. For exam-
ple, “ABC Bank” or “The
Jones’”.
Touchpads display date and time or Programmed Idle Text. The system sounds one long beep.
If you’re using a Touchtone phone, see “Using a Touchtone Phone to Operate Your System”.
Arming and Disarming Your System
When arming the system you are turning on intrusion detection. When disarming the system you
are turning off intrusion detection.
Since your security needs may vary throughout the day, your system has three levels to meet
these different needs. By setting your system to a particular level, only those sensors pro-
grammed to detect in that level will activate an alarm.
Note
No matter which level your system is set to, sensors programmed as active 24 hours a day (smoke sen-
sors, heat sensors, panic buttons, and environmental sensors) continue to monitor for and report alarm
conditions.
Level 1—OFF
Select this level to:
• cancel an alarm and stop sirens.
• disarm the system when entering the armed premises (through a designated delay door).
Entry delay beeps sound to remind you the system is armed and that you must disarm it.
Note
Entry beeps are silenced
after the first keypress. They
will restart after five seconds
with no keypresses. You
must enter your access code
to completely disarm the
system.
• disarm the system before opening a door or window while the system is armed (such as after
waking up in the morning and getting your newspaper).
To disarm to Level 1—OFF using a touchpad:
1. Press 1. Touchpads display “ENTER CODE.”
2. Enter your Access Code. Touchpads display date and time or programmed text and the sys-
tem sounds one long beep.
To disarm to Level 1—OFF using a keychain touchpad:
Press the Unlock button.
