CENTRAL STATION MONITORING

Your alarm specialist may have programmed your system to be monitored by a central station. The built-in digital communicator can transmit emergency signals and status reports to the central station 24 hours a day.

Communicator Features

Abort Delay. Ask your installer which of your zones have abort delay, a delay that enables you to reset the system before it communicates to the central station.

Regular Burglary (Non-24-Hour) Zone reports are aborted by disarming within the delay period.

24-Hour Zones and zones programmed to report restores must be restored first, then the panel armed and disarmed, all within the delay period.

Opening and/or Closing Reporting. Your system can notify the central station every time it is disarmed or

armed. Any or all of up to 96 different users can each be identified. If your system reports on arming (Closing Report), the central station will acknowledge arming.

This will signal at the keypad as a “ringback” beep. Note: If the ringback signal is not heard, call for service.
