If An Alarm Sounds

Fire Alarm
If your system has been installed with fire detectors and the alarm sounds in a pulsing mode, follow
your emergency evacuation plan immediately (see "Fire Escape Planning" on page 15).
Intrusion Alarm
If an intrusion alarm sounds, indicated by a continuous Bell or Siren, the alarm may be silenced by
entering your access code. If the alarm was unintentional, call local authorities immediately to avoid an
unnecessary response.
You can determine the source of the alarm by following the instructions in the "Disarming" section (see
page 6). Once the source of the alarm has been corrected, the panel can be restored to its original
Armed state.
NOTE: A fire alarm has priority over a burglary type alarm.

Function Keys

The PC5508Z, PC5516Z, PC5532Z and LCD5500Z keypads have five function keys – marked Stay,
Away, Chime, Reset and Exit – which allow easy single-button activation of the most commonly used
features. If these keys have been enabled by your installer , you can execute the programmed function
by pressing and holding the corresponding key for two seconds. Corresponding function keys on the
PC1555RKZ are number keys 1 to 5 respectively.
For more information regarding the operation of the function keys, talk to your alarm system installer.
