3. SECURITY SYSTEM O P E R A T I O N DISARMING THE SECURITY SYSTEM and SILENCING ALARMS Before going any further, you should know how to turn your alarm system OFF. Turning the system OFF disarms the burglar alarm, resets the fire and emergency alarms and silences all sirens and sounders.
The HOME mode is intended for use when you and your family are in your home, and you wish to have doors and windows armed, but no interior motion detectors armed so that your family may move about freely inside the house. (PANIC, TAMPER and FIRE zones are always armed, as are the three EMERGENCY buttons on the console.) In the...

In order to prevent the alarm from sounding unexpectedly if a window or door is open when the system is armed, the Model 1503 will automatically bypass a zone if the zone is in the alarm state when the system is armed.

If the called party is busy, does not answer, or answers but does not enter a code, then the Model 1503 goes to the BURGLAR DIAL ORDER to determine the next number to dial, and the next call is made.

ZONE NAME TRIPPED” - The interior sounder will pulse on and off to distinguish the fire alarm from the burglar alarm.
If the called party is busy, does not answer, or answers but does not enter a code, then the Model 1503 goes to the MEDICAL DIAL ORDER to determine the next number to dial, and the next call is made.
