Using the
1
OFF Key
The OFF key is used to disarm the system and to silence alarm and trouble sounds.
IMPORTANT: If you return and the main burglary sounder is on: DO NOT
ENTER, but CONTACT 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 your entering, indicating that an alarm
has occurred during your absence (the Memory of Alarm feature).
LEAVE IMMEDIATELY and CONTACT THE POLICE from a nearby safe location.
WHEN SAFE TO DO SO, re-enter and follow the procedure for silencing an alarm.
To Disarm the System
Enter your security code and press the OFF key. The "Ready" message will be
displayed, and the keypad will emit a single tone to confirm that the system is
disarmed.
To Silence a Burglary Alarm
Enter your security code and press the OFF key to silence the alarm (or warning
tones of a Memory of Alarm). Note the zone in alarm on the keypad display, and
make that zone intact (close door, window, etc.). Now enter the security code plus
OFF sequence again to clear the keypad's Memory of Alarm display. If the display
will not clear and does not provide a "Ready" message, notify the alarm agency.
To Silence a Fire Alarm simply press the OFF key (the security code is not needed to
silence FIRE alarms). To then clear the keypad's Memory of Alarm display, enter
your security code and press the OFF key again.
Refer to the Fire Alarm System section for additional information.
Refer to the Summary of Audible/Visual Notification section for information
which will help you to distinguish between FIRE (Interrupted/Pulsed) and
BURGLARY (Continuous/Steady) alarm sounds.
