Initiating Alarms

Following are various methods that may be used for
initiating alarms.

Initiating Panic Alarm with Keyfobs

Using the KF-234 PG2 you can initiate a PANIC
alarm by pressing both AWAY
keys simultaneously for 2 seconds.
Low Battery Indication
If the battery power is near the end of its life, the keyfob
LED indicates this by flashing the yellow light at the end
of keyfob activation. It will also send a "low battery"
signal to the panel which will be indicated on the LCD
display as a trouble message (see Chapter 3). When
"low battery" occurs, you must replace the battery within
2-3 weeks otherwise your keyfob will stop functioning.
Acknowledging "low battery" condition
Some regulations and institutions require the user to
acknowledge when the keyfob enters the "low
battery" condition. The acknowledge procedure is
described in Chapter 6.
