9. Responding to an alarm

First of all: remain calm. An alarm does not always mean anintrusion. Sometimes an alarm is caused by

something else, such as a self-triggered false alarm.For this reason, get a feel of the situation fi rst and then

respond accordingly in a composed manner.Disarm the system, check the reason for the alarm and then reset

the alarm.

If an alarm is triggered, fi rst disarm your alarm panel by entering a user code, for example. You will then be

prompted to "reset" the alarm panel. This means that you must still "acknowledge" the alarm on the system

in order for it to be ready for operation again.

The alarm is then shown on the display. "T2" means that an alarm has been triggered in sub-area 2. "Intrusion

Z202 alarm" means that an intruder alarm has been triggered in "zone 202" in this sub-area. This "zone 02"

is the second detector in the system, with the name "MC kitchen" (magnetic contact in kitchen). You can now

go into the kitchen to see what exactly has happened near this detector.

Important: occasionally you may fi nd that an alarm cannot be reset. This may occur, for example, if the

housing of your alarm panel and its components have been opened and a tampering alarm has been

triggered. This can be corrected only by your specialist installation contractor.

An alarm can have various causes. The following alarms exist in principle:

• Tampering alarm

• Intruder alarm

• Panic alarm

• Technical alarm

• Fire alarm

• Emergency call or medical emergency alarm

• Entry delay exceeded

• Exit delay exceeded

The Secvest has four diff erent types of alarm. Depending on the status of the system (disarmed, armed,

internally armed), the following alarms are available (depending on the setup or programming of the alarm

panel):

9. Responding to an alarm

If the cause of the alarm is clarifi ed and corrected, press "Reset". The system is

then reset and ready to be armed again. Note that a reset is necessary. If this is

ignored (e.g. if you press "Exit") the reset does not take place properly and

appears automatically during the next arming process. If no entry is made, the

graphical display disappears aft er 1 minute but remains on the system.
