Cancelling an Alarm
The process for cancelling an alarm is similar to unsetting the system. However, if a wireless
keyfob or prox tag has been used, the alarms must be viewed on a keypad by typing in a user
code and following the on-screen instructions. Only certain users are able to reset the system
following an alarm condition. You installer will inform you which users have this ability.
How to Restore an Alarm
Alarms, faults and tampers will be restored provided:
1. The cause has cleared.
2. An authorised user PIN code or anti-code has been entered.
3. The conditions have been viewed on the keypad display after steps 1 and 2 above.
If a user cannot restore all the conditions, a temporary banner is displayed to indicate that a
manager or engineer is required to restore the system. This lasts for 30 seconds before the
normal banner is displayed.
Alert Conditions
If a fault condition occurs when the system is unset, an ‘Alert!’ message will be shown on the
keypad accompanied by an intermittent beep. If this occurs, you should go to the nearest
keypad and type in your PIN code and press ent. The keypad display will show what has
happened. The scroll keys A> and B< should be used to scroll through the message screens. If
the condition has cleared, pressing ent or esc will reset the fault condition. A fault condition
cannot be reset if it has not cleared or if it has not been viewed by a user.
If you cannot clear the fault condition yourself, always call the installer for advice.
