Technical Alarms

Your alarm system may be fitted with a "technical alarm" zone. This type of
alarm is NOT designed to alert you of a fire, burglary or personal attack but
can be used, for example, to monitor the temperature of freezers, or the
health of other equipment.
When a technical alarm occurs the control unit makes the rim of the
navigation pad glow red, and the keypad will give a short "beep" every few
seconds, exactly as for an Alert.
You can silence the beeping tone by following steps 1 to 4 on page 17.
When you key in your access code the bottom line of the display will show,
for example "Tech Z016 Alarm" to indicate that the cause of the beeping is
a technical alarm. (Press  or  to see the zone name, if one has been
programmed.)
Note that if the technical zone detector is still active when you try to reset
the system then the keypad will show the message "RESET FAULTS". You
must make sure that the detector is not active before you can reset a
technical alarm.
