Alarm Type Description
109 DESCR ATxx
__________
The Alarm Type descriptions are used to provide English language prompts on the face of the
LCD keypad. The descriptions are not transmitted to the Central Station.
Enter the description, up to ten characters, to be associated with this alarm type. If the
system contains a LCD display then this description will appear on the first line of the
display when an alarm condition has activated.
An explanation of how to enter text through the LCD display can be found in section 4 of this
manual.
Examples of alarm type descriptions would include BURGLARY, FIRE, HOLDUP, LOW
TEMP., etc. The alarm type description should apply to the general condition rather than the
specific zone. When an alarm condition exists, the second line of the LCD display will display
the sixteen character zone description which is defined in question #144, or the keypad
emergency zone description defined in question #176.
