6.0 Getting to Know the
ICP-VR8488
The ICP-VR8488 Intruder Alarm System is made up
of a control panel and detection devices such as
magnetic/motion sensors and smoke sensors. The
user operates the ICP-VR8488 using either the
keypad or RF keyfobs.
If a detection device detects intrusion or smoke, the
status of the device changes from normal to faulted.
If a detection device faults when the ICP-VR8488 is
armed (AWAY Mode or STAY Mode), the
ICP-VR8488 sounds an alarm and sends an alarm
report by telephone to the security company, which
takes the appropriate action.
