Panic alarms

Panic alarms are easily activated from any touchpad to quickly alert the central
monitoring stations to a fire, police, or auxiliary emergency so the correct
personnel can be dispatched immediately. A panic alarm can be activated in any
arming level. Each type of panic alarm sounds and reacts differently when
activated.
• Fire panic alarm. Repeating series of three beeps
• Police panic alarm. Continuous tone.
• Auxiliary panic alarm. Rapid beeps.
Fire panic alarm
The fire panic alarm sounds from all interior and exterior sirens. On monitored
systems, the central monitoring station responds by calling the fire department.
To activate a fire panic alarm from a touchpad, press and hold the Fire buttons
for 2 seconds. If your system includes controlled lighting, all system lights turn on
and remain on during a fire alarm.
Police panic alarm
The police panic alarm sounds from all interior and exterior sirens, scaring off
any intruder and alerting neighbors. On monitored systems, the central
monitoring station responds by calling the police. To activate a police panic alarm
from a touchpad, press and hold the Police buttons for 2 seconds.
Verify with your installer how your keychain touchpads are programmed.
Note:
See "Keychain touchpads" on page 74 for more information.
To activate a police panic alarm from a keychain touchpad, press and hold the
Lock and Unlock buttons together for 2 seconds. If your system includes
controlled lighting all system lights flash continuously during a police panic alarm.
Auxiliary panic alarm
The auxiliary panic alarm sounds from interior sirens only. It is typically set up by
your security dealer, based on your specific needs. On monitored systems, the
central station responds by calling the service or agency you specified through
your dealer, such as an ambulance service. To activate an auxiliary panic alarm
from a touchpad, press and hold the Auxiliary buttons for 2 seconds.
