SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Alarms
When an alarm occurs, both the keypad and external sounders will sound, and the
keypad will display the zone(s) causing the alarm. If your system is connected to a
central monitoring station, an alarm message will also be sent. To stop the alarm
sounding, simply disarm the system.
Memory of Alarm
When an alarm condition occurs, the keypad displays the number(s) of the zone(s) that
caused the problem, and displays the type of alarm (ex. FIRE, ALARM). It remains
displayed until it is cleared by disarming the system (see DISARMING THE SYSTEM
section).
Phone Access &
Voice
Response
Capability
Your system may include a voice module that will permit you to access the system via
a Touch-tone phone, either on-premises or by call-in when away. The phone access
feature will enable you to do the following:
Receive synthesized voice messages over the telephone regarding the status of the
security system.
Arm and disarm the system and perform most function commands via the telephone,
with voice confirmation provided after each command entry.
Complete information regarding the use of this feature is provided in a separate
manual entitled PHONE ACCESS USER'S GUIDE, which accompanies the voice
module.
Paging Feature
If the paging feature has been programmed for your system, your pager will respond to
certain conditions as they occur in your system. Your pager will display code numbers
indicating the type of condition that has occurred. Refer to the PAGING FEATURE
section later in this manual for detailed information.
