Setting Up Alarm Silences
When an alarm occurs, a horn sounds and a strobe light flashes at each installed central
alarm. An alarm banner appears in the center of the screen. An alarm message and Silence
button are on the banner. Touching this button silences the horn and turns off the lights for
configurable periods of time and causes the alarm banner to disappear. You can set different
lengths of time for keeping the horn silent and keeping the light turned off. If a new alarm
occurs, the horn sounds and the light turns on again.
To set the lengths of time for suppressing the alarm strobe and horn, complete the following
steps:
1. Go to the “System Setup” screen (Figure 3) by touching the SYSTEM SETUP button on
any screen.
2. On the “System Setup” screen, touch the STROBE SUPPRESS button. A keypad pops
up.

3. Enter the number of minutes (between 0 and 99) that you want the strobe lights to stay
off. If you want the light to stay on as long as the alarm persists, change the setting to 0.
If you want the light to stay off until a new alarm occurs, enter 99 in the keypad. Use
CLR to erase any mistakes. Use ENT to enter the value. The keypad disappears and the
new setting appears under STROBE SUPPRESS.
4. On the “System Setup” screen, touch the HORN SILENCE button. A keypad pops up.

want the horn to stay off until a new alarm occurs, enter 99 in the keypad. Use CLR to
erase any mistakes. Use ENT to enter the value. The keypad disappears and the new
