About Automatic Paging

Your system may be set up to automatically send alert messages to several pagers (up to four for FA168CPS, up to two for FA148CP) as certain conditions occur in your system.

•The following events can be programmed by your installer to be sent to the pagers: arming and disarming†, alarms, and trouble conditions. († reports when arming/disarming from a keypad using a security code; auto-arming/disarming, arming with assigned button, and keyswitch arming do not send pager messages.)

•You can also program the system to send an automatic pager message to alert you in the event that someone has not arrived home (disarmed the system) within a defined period of time (see the Scheduling section for details on programming a “latch key report”).

•Your installer programs the pager phone numbers and reporting events.

•The pager message consists of a 7-digit system status code that indicates the type of condition that has occurred.

•An optional, predefined 16-digit character string can precede the 7-digit system status code; these characters can consist of a PIN no., subscriber account no., or any additional data that you may wish to have sent to the pager.

•The pager display format is as follows:
