In The Event Of A Burglary Alarm - Nortek e Series 2GIG GC3E Manual

In the Event of a Burglary Alarm

Sensors have been installed to protect perimeter doors and windows for the premises. Motion detectors may also be installed to protect interior areas. Each
sensor is programmed to alert the system to react in a specifi c way should its protection zone be violated.
When the system is armed, it initiates the following sequence of events when a protected zone is violated:
1. For instant sensors, the alarm siren immediately sounds and continues to sound until a User Code is entered or for the amount of time specifi ed by the
Burglary Bell Cutoff Time setting. The factory default setting is four (4) minutes. Consult your installer to determine the cutoff time for your system.
2. For delayed sensors, the system immediately starts the Entry Delay countdown to allow time to disarm the system. At the end of the countdown, the
alarm siren sounds and will continue to sound until a User Code is entered or for the amount of time specifi ed by the Burglary Bell Cutoff Time setting. For
compliance with ANSI/SIA CP-01-2010, the factory default setting for this countdown is 30 seconds. This is designed to reduce the transmission of false
alarm reports. Consult your installer to determine the length of your system's countdown.
3. After the report is received by the Central Station, an operator will respond per the terms defi ned in your individual Service Agreement with your 2GIG
alarm dealer. For more in-depth information about specifi c alarm protocols, contact your alarm dealer.
If You Want to Cancel/Silence a False Burglary Alarm
In the event of a false alarm (for example, if you enter the home while it is armed and do not disarm the system before the countdown expires), you can silence the
alarm and cancel the alarm report using one of these options:
»
If you disarm the system BEFORE the countdown expires, the system silences the alarm siren and does not transmit an alarm report to the Central
Station.
»
If you disarm the system AFTER the Abort Window Dialer Delay countdown expires, the system silences the alarm siren and transmits an alarm
cancellation report to the Central Station. For a cancellation report to be transmitted, you must disarm the system before the Alarm Cancel Time expires.
For compliance with ANSI/SIA CP-01-2010, the factory default setting is fi ve (5) minutes. Consult your installer to determine the setting for your system.
Cross Sensor Zone
A cross sensor zone is comprised of two wireless sensors and both sensors must be tripped within a programmed period of time before the system activates an
alarm. For compliance with ANSI/SIA CP-01-2010, if only one of the sensors in the cross sensor zone is tripped within the programmed period of time, the system
automatically transmits a trouble report to the Central Station but does not activate an alarm.
Swinger Shutdown Count
The swinger shutdown count defi nes the maximum number of times a zone's sensor can activate (i.e., "trip") an alarm during a single arming session. After
the sensor trips an alarm for the count, the sensor cannot set off an alarm until eight (8) hours passes or until the system is disarmed and then rearmed. For
compliance with ANSI/SIA CP-01-2010, the default swinger shutdown count must be set to two (2) trips.
