A silent emergency sends a silent alarm signal to the central
station, but there will be no audible alarms or visual displays.
An audible emergency sends an emergency message to the central
station (if connected) and will sound a loud, steady alarm at your
keypad and at any external sounders that may be connected
(ALARM plus a zone number would also be displayed).
A personal emergency alarm sends an emergency message to the
central station (if connected) and will sound at Keypads, but not at
external bells or sirens. (ALARM plus a zone number would also be
displayed.)
A fire alarm sends a fire alarm message to the central station and
will uniquely sound external bells and sirens (FIRE plus a zone
number would also be displayed).
To use a paired key panic
function, simply press both keys
of the assigned pair at the same
time. If your keypad(s) have
lettered keys for panic
functions, press the designated
key and hold down for at least 2
seconds to activate the panic
function.
