Beeps And Leds - Interlogix Concord 4 User Manual

Beeps and LEDs

Touchpads and interior sirens produce a variety of operating beeps to inform you
of different system states and operations.
Key beeps
A key beep is the tone you hear when you press a button on an alphanumeric,
fixed display, or handheld wireless touchpad. The sound confirms that the button
was pressed adequately. Key beeps can be turned on or off by the installer.
Status beeps
Status beeps come from the touchpads, sirens, or speakers and sound when
there is a change in the status of the system. Status beeps are not alarms, but
they do warrant your attention.
There are different types of status beeps:
• Exit delay beeps. Indicate that an arming command has been entered and
the countdown to arming has begun.
• Entry delay beeps. Indicate that you have entered the building and the
countdown to an alarm has begun. (So, disarm the system as soon as you
get in.)
• Protest beeps. Indicate that you are trying to arm the system with an open
door or window.
• Chime feature beeps. Indicate when a door or window is opened.
• Trouble beeps. Indicate a problem with the system or one of its components.
See "Trouble beeps and messages" on page 66.
• Sensor test beeps. Indicate that a sensor was tested properly during a
sensor test.
Status beeps are described in more detail in "System sounds" on page 27
