Checking the Status of Your System

Checking the system status means finding out about
the current condition of your system. This includes
finding out if any sensors are currently bypassed,
whether or not the AC power and backup battery
are okay, the nature of the most recent alarm, and
more, depending on the features in use and the
equipment in your system.
Check the system status if:
• Your system sounds trouble beeps
(five short beeps every minute).
• Alphanumeric touchpads display a blinking
asterisk.
• Trouble is lit on an LED touchpad.

Short System Status

A Short Status indicates the current arming level,
sensor status (whether open or bypassed), low bat-
tery, or supervisory, AC power or backup battery
failures.
To get a Short System Status:
• Press
Interior sirens sound beeps according to the
current arming level.
Alphanumeric touchpads display the status
information, for example: "SENSOR O2
OPEN."
On LED touchpads, if any sensor is in trouble,
the Trouble and the corresponding sensor
LED flash at the same time. If Trouble is on,
but no sensor number is lit, try troubleshoot-
ing the problem before calling the installer.
