Alarms

The system provides a series of alarms that indicate an unusual occurrence.

When an alarm is active, the red alarm pop-up display shows with a message

explaining what caused the alarm:

To listen to and cancel an alarm:

1. If you would like to hear additional alarm information, press Listen.

2. To cancel the alarm, press the red alarm icon and enter a valid master or user

code.

After alarms are canceled, the system will be disarmed.

If this option is off, the panel immediately reports to the central station when a

smoke detector goes into alarm.

With this option on, if a single smoke detector goes into alarm, the panel will not

report for 60 seconds unless another smoke detector goes into alarm. If the first

smoke detector is cleared of an alarm within the first 60 seconds, no report will

be sent to the central station unless it or a second smoke detector goes into

alarm within the panel siren timeout period (5 minutes).

Ask your installer how this option is programmed.

One of the biggest concerns you might have regarding your security system is

causing an accidental alarm. Most accidental alarms occur when leaving the

residence after arming the system or before disarming the system upon your

return.

There is a communicator delay (dialer delay) of 30 seconds programmed into the

panel. The panel will delay 30 seconds before dialing the central monitoring

station remote phone to send reports. You can have your installer program this

delay time between 15 and 45 seconds. To cancel an accidental alarm before the

programmed dialer delay time expires, press the red alarm pop-up and enter

your access code. The panel will speak Alarm Communication Cancelled
