8.0 Codepad Duress Alarm

A codepad duress alarm is used as a silent hold-up alarm. This only occurs when the number “9” is added to the end of any valid user code being used to disarm the system (for example, [2 5 8 0 9 #]). A duress alarm is only useful if your system is reporting back to a monitoring station or pocket pager, because domestic reporting (such as a mobile phone) cannot decipher which type of alarm occurred.

9.0 Codepad Panic Alarm

An audible alarm activates when both the [1] and [3] buttons and both the [*] and [#] buttons are pressed simultaneously. Contact your installer to disable the ability to activate the codepad panic alarm or to silence the codepad panic alarm.

Software versions 1.10 through 1.36 sound a panic alarm when you press both the [4] and [6] buttons or the [7] and [9] buttons simultaneously.

10.0 Codepad Fire Alarm

(Version 1.37 + only) A distinct fire sound is emitted by the horn speaker when both the [4] and [6] buttons on the codepad are pressed simultaneously. Contact your installer if you want to disable the ability to activate the codepad fire alarm or if you want to silence the codepad fire alarm.

11.0 Codepad Medical Alarm

(Version 1.37 + only) An audible alarm activates when both the [7] and [9] buttons are pressed simultaneously. Contact your installer to disable the ability to activate the codepad medical alarm or to silence the codepad medical alarm.

12.0 Codepad Tamper Alarm (Access Denied)

Codepad tamper restricts the number of times an invalid user code can try to operate the system. When the number of incorrect code attempts equals the number programmed by your installer, the system activates an alarm condition. If reporting back to a security monitoring station, the system sends an Access Denied Report.

To shut down and lock out a codepad for a period of time (0 sec. to 150 sec.), ask your installer to program this feature.

13.0 Isolating Zones

Isolating zones allow you to manually disable one or more zones before arming the system. Once a zone is isolated, access is allowed into that zone during the armed state without activating an alarm.

For example, you need to isolate a zone before arming the system such as when a PIR detector causes a false alarm or you must leave a pet inside a particular zone while away.

Isolating zones is performed by one of two methods. Method two is optional and only allows those user codes programmed by your installer to isolate zones.
