Chime Mode

Using the Chime Mode

CHIME mode alerts you to the opening of a perimeter door or window while the system is
disarmed.
When Chime mode is activated:
• Three tones sound at the keypad whenever a perimeter door or window is opened.
• Interior zones do not produce a tone when they are faulted.
• Pressing the READY key will display the open protection points.
• Chime mode can be used only while the system is disarmed.
To turn Chime Mode on:
(Security Code)
The CHIME message will appear. Perimeter zones
will cause a tone when faulted.
To turn Chime Mode off:
(Security Code)
The CHIME message will disappear.

Using the Voice Chime

Voice keypads have a feature that works in concert with the Chime Mode called Voice
Chime. Voice chime provides a voice status annunciation, chime, and display when any
faulted entry/exit or perimeter zone exists. Ask your installer if this option has been
enabled for your system.
To turn Voice Chime Mode on or off:
(normal Chime mode must be on first)
When Voice Chime is on, faulted zones cause a voice status announcement, chime and display.
When off, the sounder still provides chime if normal Chime mode is on.
