Exit Alarm Warning Displays and Sounds

Ask your installer if "Exit Alarm Warning" is active for your system, and if so, check here:

EXIT ALARMS

Your system may support and have been programmed for this feature.

When arming, if an exit or interior zone contains a fault during closing at the time the exit delay ends, the alarm sounder and keypad sound continuously to alert you that an unwanted alarm can be prevented if you take action:

•If you disarm the system during the entry delay period that will immediately follow, the sound stops. The keypad displays "CANCELED ALARM "or "CA" as well as a zone indication. No message is transmitted to the central station.

•If the system is NOT disarmed during the immediately following entry delay period, the sounds continue until the system is disarmed (or alarm sounder timeout occurs). The keypad displays "EXIT ALARM" or "EA" as well as a zone indication. An "exit alarm" message will be sent to the central station.

N o t e : The latter "EXIT ALARM" conditions also result if an alarm from an exit or interior zone occurs within two minutes after the end of an exit delay.

In any of the above cases, a second OFF sequence (security code + OFF key) will clear the keypad display.

Using the

9CHIME Key

This feature can be used only while the burglary system is disarmed.

To turn Chime Mode on, enter the security code and press the CHIME key. The CHIME message will appear.
