Trouble Beeps and Trouble Messages

Trouble beeps are a series of five short beeps, once a minute. When your system detects a problem, it lets
you know by sounding trouble beeps from touchpads and sirens, and by trouble messages on touchpad
displays.

Silencing Trouble Beeps

If possible, correct the situation which is causing the trouble beeps. If this is not possible, call for service. If
the problem is not corrected, trouble beeps and messages start again 4 to 10 hours later.
To stop trouble beeps:
Perform a system status check by pressing * ‚ on a touchpad, Change the arming level.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. I can't arm my system.
A. Try the following:
• If arming to Level 2—STAY or Level 3—AWAY, make sure all monitored perimeter doors and windows are
closed.
• Press ‚ for a system status and for clues to the problem.
• Call your security dealer.
Q. I cannot bypass a sensor: my alphanumeric touchpad displays "INVALID" and my fixed display touchpad
sounds a single, long beep.
A. Possible explanations include:
• The sensor you're trying to bypass may not be active in the current arming level. For example, an interior
motion detector will not be active in Level 2—STAY.
• Some sensors can be bypassed only in certain levels. For example, motion sensors in Level 3—AWAY.
• You may be trying to bypass a 24-hour sensor that cannot be bypassed, such as a smoke detector.
Q. I can't arm my system to Level 3—AWAY.
A. If a delay door is open while you're trying to arm the system to Level 3, the system will arm to Level 2
instead. Close the delay door, arm the system to Level 3, then exit through a delay door.
