System Overview
(cont'd)
Cross Zoning
Cross zoning is used to prevent false alarms. Up to 10 zones can be linked
together in your security system (programmed by the installer). If any of
the 10 linked zones faults in the armed state, the system will wait to see
if a second zone faults within a programmed period of time. When the
second zone faults, alarms will be sent out for both zones (if
programmed), the alarm bell will sound, and the two zones in alarm will
be displayed on the keypad.
However, if another fault does NOT occur within the programmed period
of time, only a Trouble report will be sent to the monitoring station and
no message will be displayed on the keypad until the system is disarmed.
Memory of Alarm
When an alarm condition occurs, the keypad displays the number(s)
of the zone(s) that caused the problem, and displays the type of alarm
(e.g., FIRE, ALARM). It remains displayed until it is cleared by
disarming the system (see the Disarming and Silencing Alarms
section).
Phone Access & Voice Response Capability
Your system may include a voice module that permits you to access
the system via a TouchTone phone, either on-premises or by call-in
when away. The phone access feature will enable you to do the
following:
•Receive synthesized voice messages over the telephone regarding
the status of the security system.
•Arm and disarm the system and perform most function commands
via the telephone, with voice confirmation provided after each
command entry.
Paging Feature
If the paging feature has been programmed for your system, your
pager will respond to certain conditions as they occur in your system.
Your pager will display code numbers indicating the type of condition
that has occurred. Refer to the Paging Feature section for more
detailed information.
