SYSTEM TROUBLE ALERTS
The system continually polls wired sensors,
wireless sensors and the Control Panel itself
to ensure optimal operating conditions at all
times. If trouble is detected, the system
alerts you.
The system monitors the following
conditions among others:
•
AC power to the Control Panel
•
The telephone line (optional)
•
The cell telephone connection (if used)
•
The Control Panel's backup battery
•
The sensor's batteries
•
Sensor supervisory status (if used)
•
External sounder connection
•
Sensor radio reception and sensor
tampering (sensor's case opened) when
disarmed
•
Control Panel tampering (panel's case
opening) when disarmed (optional)
•
Communication to the Central Station
You have the option to have any or all
trouble conditions reported to the Central
Station. If a trouble condition exists, service
your system immediately to ensure no lapse
in service or protection.

During the installation, as an option, the
system can be programmed by your installer
to suppress the trouble alert sounder from
10 pm to 9 am. Any trouble alerts will still be
displayed and reported (if enabled), but the
sounder does not beep during nighttime
hours. Some trouble conditions may clear
automatically while other trouble conditions
may require service to correct. If a trouble
condition still exists after 9 am, the sounder
beeps to indicate trouble.
NOTE: Regardless of whether the
trouble alert sounder is
suppressed or not, every trouble
condition is always displayed on
the trouble alert list and recorded
in the system history event log.
