Keypad Tones - Bosch Security Systems User Manual

Keypad Tones

Your keypad emits several distinct tones and flashes keypad lights to alert
you to system events. Additional bells or sirens may also be connected to
your system. Bells or sirens mounted on the exterior of your premises alert
neighbors to emergencies and provide an audible guide for police and fire
fighters.
1. Fire Alarm Tone: When a fire point activates, the keypad repeatedly
emits a warble tone that is on for 1 sec., then briefly off.
2. Burglary Alarm Tone: When a burglary point activates while your
system is turned on, your keypad emits a continuous warble tone.
The tone sounds for the time set by your security company.
3. Trouble Tone: When a system component is not functioning
properly, your keypad repeatedly emits a warble tone that is on
briefly, followed by a pause, followed by the warble tone. If the
problem is with a point, the system display indicates which point is
faulted.
4. Keypress Tone: Pressing any key on the keypad sounds a short pip,
indicating the entry is accepted.
5. Entry Delay Tone: When you enter the premises through a point
programmed for entry delay, the keypad emits a repeating short
beep, long beep tone to remind you to turn off your system. If the
system is not turned off before the entry delay expires, an alarm
report may be sent to your alarm company.
6. Exit Delay Tone: After you turn your system on, the keypad emits
an intermittent beep tone and counts down the exit delay time. If
you don't exit before the delay time expires, and an exit delay door
is faulted, an alarm occurs.
7. Error Tone: If you press an incorrect key, your keypad emits an
error tone to indicate an invalid entry. The error tone is the same
warble tone as the trouble tone, but it is not repeated.
8. OK Tone: Indicates a keypad entry is accepted (a correct passcode
was entered). The keypad emits a single, high-pitched beep tone for
1 second.
9. Watch Tone: The keypad emits a tone to alert you when any
watched point is faulted. The tone varies in duration, depending
upon the watch tone selected (see Selecting Watch Tone on page 21).
