Keypad Tones

Your keypad emits several distinct tones and displays text to alert you to
system events. Additional bells or sirens may also be connected to your
system. Bells or sirens mounted on the exterior of your premises alert
neighbors to emergencies and provide an audible guide for police and
fire fighters.
1.
Fire Alarm Tone: When a fire point activates, the keypad emits
a repeated warble tone (on for one second, then briefly off).
2.
Burglary Alarm Tone: When a burglary point activates while
your system is turned on, your keypad emits a continuous
warble tone. It sounds for the time set by your security
company.
3.
Trouble Tone: When a system component is not functioning
properly, your keypad emits a repeated warble tone (on briefly,
followed by a pause, followed by the warble tone). If the
problem is with a point, the system display indicates which
point is faulted.
4.
Keypress Tone: Pressing any key on the keypad sounds a short
pip, indicating that the entry is accepted.
5.
Entry Delay Tone: When you enter the premises through a
point programmed for entry delay, the keypad emits a repeating
short beep, long beep tone to remind you to turn off your
system. If the system is not turned off before the entry delay
expires, an Alarm Report may be sent to your alarm company.
6.
Exit Delay Tone: After you turn your system on, the keypad
emits an intermittent beep tone and counts down the exit delay
time. If you don't exit before the delay time expires, and an exit
delay door is faulted, an alarm occurs.
7.
Error Tone: If you press an incorrect key, your keypad emits an
error tone to indicate an invalid entry. The error tone is the
same warble tone as the Trouble Tone, but it is not repeated.
8.
OK Tone: Indicates that a keypad entry is accepted; for example,
that a correct passcode has been entered. The keypad emits a
single, high-pitched beep tone for one second.
9.
Watch Tone: The keypad emits a tone to alert you when any
watched point is faulted. The tone varies in duration, depending
upon the Watch Tone selected (see Selecting Watch Tone).
