If a Security Alarm Occurs

If an armed sensor is tripped while the system is armed in either Stay or Away Mode, an
alarm occurs and the siren sounds. Delayed sensors start the Entry Delay to allow time to
disarm the system. Instant sensors trigger the alarm right away. Most sensors trigger the
alarm siren while some sensors may be set to trigger a silent alarm without sounding the
siren.
NOTE: Temporarily muting the alarm siren
When the alarm siren is sounding, you can temporarily mute (turn off) the alarm siren by
pressing any button on the hub keypad. Pressing a button will mute the alarm siren for
one second. The alarm siren will continue to sound until the proper disarming code is
entered.
Alarm Siren
If the alarm is tripped while the system is armed, the hub sounds the alarm siren for a
preset time. After the time expires, the alarm will stop sounding.
The system limits the number of times a sensor can re-trigger an alarm while the system
is armed. The setting is one to six times per sensor, per arming period.
Alarm H istory
If an alarm has occurred while the system was armed, the Disarm screen shows the time
and date of the alarm and the sensor(s) that triggered the alarm.
After the system is disarmed, the Alarm History screen appears. This screen shows the
sensor(s) that have caused the alarm. If more than one sensor has been triggered, the
display shows the order in which the alarms occurred.
The alarm history is automatically cleared the next time the security system is armed. You
can also check the Clear Alarm History button to manually clear the alarm history.
NOTE: 24-hour fire and CO sensors that are still violated remain in the alarm history
until those specific conditions are resolved.
