Understanding Alarms

When an alarm is tripped an audible alert is sounded. From that point, you have a specific amount of
time (default: 30 seconds) to enter your keypad code or an alarm will sound. If a valid keypad code is not
entered within a specific time of the audible alarm sounding, a message is sent to a central monitoring
station. See
more information.
The central monitoring station will attempt to contact the persons listed on the account. When they
reach a person listed on the account, they will ask for the Secret Word to affirm whether a genuine
emergency is occurring. If no one on the list can be contacted, or if the person contacted gives the wrong
Secret Word, the central monitoring station immediately dispatches police or other appropriate
emergency personnel.
If the alarm is not cleared within 4 minutes, the system resets so it can monitor additional alarm events.
If a sensor is faulted too many times resulting in alarms, no more alarms will be sent to central
monitoring for 48 hours or until the security system is disarmed.
