Alarms

The system provides a series of alarms that indicate an unusual occurrence. When an
alarm is active, the red alarm pop-up display shows with a message explaining what
caused the alarm:
To listen to and cancel an alarm:
1. If you would like to hear additional alarm information, press Listen.
2. To cancel the alarm, press the red alarm icon and enter a valid master or user
code.
After alarms are canceled, the system will be disarmed.
Fire alarm verification
If this option is off, the panel immediately reports to the central station when a smoke
detector goes into alarm.
With this option on, if a single smoke detector goes into alarm, the panel will not
report for 60 seconds unless another smoke detector goes into alarm. If the first
smoke detector is cleared of an alarm within the first 60 seconds, no report will be
sent to the central station unless it or a second smoke detector goes into alarm
within the panel siren timeout period (5 minutes).
Ask your installer how this option is programmed.
Canceling and preventing accidental alarms
One of the biggest concerns you might have regarding your security system is
causing an accidental alarm. Most accidental alarms occur when leaving the
residence after arming the system or before disarming the system upon your return.
