Arming Status; Zone Faults - ADEMCO TeleCommand User Manual

System Status Reports (cont'd)

Arming Status

This report will indicate whether the system is armed, the arming
mode, and if armed with any bypasses, or if the system is disarmed
and whether it is ready or not ready to arm.
Annunciations when the system is in an armed state would be one of
the following:
"ARMED STAY," "ARMED AWAY," "ARMED STAY INSTANT,"
or "ARMED AWAY INSTANT."
If any bypasses are in effect, the word "BYPASS" will be added to the
armed message.
Annunciations when the system is in the disarmed state are:
"SYSTEM READY" or "SYSTEM NOT READY."*
* If the message "SYSTEM NOT READY" is heard, and the "Zone
Faults" report does not follow (see Zone Faults below), simply press
the [✱] key to hear the particular zones that are faulted.

Zone Faults

If there is a zone fault (for example, a door or window open), the word
"FAULT" will be annunciated, followed by a zone descriptor** (for
example, "UPSTAIRS BEDROOM") and a zone number. If zone
faults are not annunciated in your system, press [✱] key to
hear zones that are faulted.
Note: Silent alarms will be annunciated.
** If programmed by your installer.
