SYSTEM OVERVIEW

Alarms When an alarm occurs, both the keypad and external sounders will sound, and the keypad displays the zone(s) causing the alarm. If your system is connected to a central monitoring station, an alarm message is sent. To stop the alarm sounding, simply disarm the system.

Emergency (Panic) Your system can provide special emergency key functions, programmed by your installer and Alarms & Duress referred to as panic keys. These keys allow you to manually send silent or audible alarms, or Code sound fire alarms. Your system may also include one or more wireless pushbutton panic transmitters. Refer to the PANIC KEYS section later in this manual for more information about

panic alarms.

A special duress code may also have been programmed. You can use this code in place of your usual security code to arm or disarm the system while under threat. The system acts normally, but sends a silent alarm message to the central station, alerting them to your situation. Refer to the SECURITY CODES & AUTHORITY LEVELS section for more information about the duress code.

Memory of Alarm When an alarm condition occurs, the keypad displays the number(s) of the zone(s) that caused the alarm, and displays the type of alarm (ex. FIRE, ALARM). It remains displayed until it is cleared by disarming the system (see DISARMING THE SYSTEM section later in this manual).

Speed Key The system can store a string of up to 16 keystrokes, which you can activate anytime by (Macros) pressing the D key. This feature can make it easy to perform a complicated procedure (such as going to another partition to bypass a zone), or it can simplify an everyday, repeated procedure.

Refer to the SPEED KEY section for procedures.
