How Your Security System Works

1
When an intruder enters the building, a detection device is trig-
gered. The device sends a message to the control panel. The
device may have LEDs (lights) that flash.
The control panel responds by sounding the alarm. (Alarm sounds
vary. If your system is programmed for silent alarms, no bells
sound.) A message is sent to the keypad and, if connected, to
the monitoring station.
The keypad blinks its LEDs. Personnel at the monitoring station
confirm the alarm and respond accordingly.
Some alarms can be canceled before the siren sounds and the
monitoring station is notified. See Section 4 for more information.
