Central Station Monitoring
Your system can also be programmed to automatically send alarm,
trouble, and arming and disarming reports to a central station.
Operators at the central station can then dispatch the appropriate
authorities or contact you with the specific event information.
Status
Status is a feature that automatically displays the armed or
disarmed status of your system on the Security Command keypads.
Alarm or trouble conditions on a zone or a system monitor such as
AC or battery trouble can also be displayed. There are two types
of status information available: Armed Status and Status List.
Armed Status
With Armed Status, the keypad displays the current armed condition
of areas within your security system.
The keypad displays When
PERIMETER ON The perimeter areas are on
ALL SYSTEM ON All areas are on
PERIM/INT ON The perimeter and interior areas are on
but the bedroom area is off
Also, for keypads that include an Armed LED, the Armed LED is ON
steady anytime a burglary protection area is armed and OFF when
ALL areas are disarmed.
Status List
The keypad Status List displays any alarm or trouble condition on a
zone and any trouble condition that occurs with the AC power or
battery power. If your system contains any Panic zones, these are
not displayed on the keypad for security reasons.
If an alarm occurs on a non-fire, 24-hour zone or a system monitor,
it remains in the Status List until it restores. If one or more armed
burglary zones trips, the last one to trip remains in the Status List.
The burglary zone alarm remains in the Status List for several
minutes or until it is cleared by disarming the system.
Zone Status
To display the status of a particular zone, enter the zone number
followed by the COMMAND key when the keypad is displaying the
Status List.
Exit Error
This is an automatic function of the panel that prevents an alarm
from occurring if an exit door does not close all the way after the
system has been armed. Here is how it works:
You close all doors and windows, arm the system, and then leave by
the front door. You close the door but it does not latch causing the
front door zone to show as an open to the system. After the exit
delay time expires the system attempts to arm the front door zone
but recognizes the open condition. Instead of sending an alarm
report to the central station, the system sends an Exit Error report
and force arms the door. (If the door closes at a later time it will
be included back into the system.) The system sounds the sirens for
15 seconds to alert you of the condition and allow you to close the
door.
The Exit Error feature allows the central station to acknowledge the
arming error without dispatching the police on a false alarm.
