Panic Keys

There are three Panic keys (A, B, and C) that, if programmed, can be used to manually initiate alarms
and send a report to the central station. Each key can be programmed for 24-hour Silent, 24-hour
Audible, Fire, or Personal Emergency responses. The programmed Panic response is activated when
the appropriate key is pressed for at least 2 seconds.
The Panic keys are identified as follows:
Keys Displayed as Zone
95
[A] (∗/1)
99
[B] (∗/#)
[C] (3/#) 96
IMPORTANT: For a Silent panic function (if programmed) to be of practical value, you must program
a report code for the zone and the system must be connected to a central station.

Description
Enter code + OFF [1]. If entry delay or an alarm is active, you do not
need to press OFF; entering the security code alone disarms the
system.
Enter code + BYPASS [6] + zone number(s). Can bypass while system
armed/disarmed.
To automatically bypass all faulted zones, use the "Quick Bypass"
method. Enter code + BYPASS + [#], then wait for all open zones to be
displayed. Arm when display indicates "ZONE BYPASSED" and
"READY TO ARM".
Enter code + CHIME [9]. To turn chime off, enter code + CHIME
again.
If relay outputs (via a 4204, 4229, or 6164), or Powerline Carrier
devices are used, two keypad entries available to the user are included.
If programmed, these entries can be used to manually activate or
deactivate the device(s) for starting or stopping some action, such as
turning lights on or off, etc. These keypad entries are:
[Security Code] + # + 7 + [2-digit Device #] activates (starts) that
device.
[Security Code] + # + 8 + [2-digit Device #] deactivates (stops) that
device.
