triggered after the system is armed.

sent to the central station contain information about the nature of the
alarm condition, allowing the dispatcher on duty to appropriately
respond.

option is programmed for Long Delay, the delay time will be doubled
(from 20 to 300 seconds).]

through a DELAY DOOR (before an alarm occurs). The delay time is
programmable from 10 seconds to 150 seconds.

24-hour zones. Alarm conditions on these zones are cleared by
entering a valid PIN number.
