Types of Panic Alarms
A silent emergency sends an alarm signal to the alarm monitoring
company,* but there are no audible alarms or visual displays.
An audible emergency sends an emergency message to the alarm
monitoring company* and sounds a loud, steady alarm at your keypad
and at any external sounders that are connected. (ALARM plus a
zone number are also displayed).
A personal emergency alarm sends an emergency message to the
alarm monitoring company* and sounds at keypads, but not at
external sounders (ALARM plus a zone number are also displayed).
A fire alarm sends a fire alarm message to the alarm monitoring
company* and uniquely activates keypad and external sounders
(FIRE plus a zone number are also displayed).
