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 by displaying a 10-digit code that will indicate the type of condition that has occurred. The 10-digit code will use the following format: SSSS–EEE–NNN

SSSSwill be your particular 4-digit subscriber No. (this same number will always appear at the beginning of the display on your pager).

EEE will be a 3-digit number that describes the event that has occurred in your system (see explanation below). NNN will be a 3-digit User or zone number, depending on the type of event that has occurred.

The 3-digit Event Codes (EEE) that can be displayed are:

911 = Alarm (NNN that follows this code will be the zone number that has caused the alarm)

001 = Open, System disarmed (NNN that follows this code will be the User number)

002 = Close, System armed (NNN that follows this code will be the User number)

811 = Trouble (NNN that follows this code will be the zone number that has caused the trouble)

Example 1. Pager displays: 1 23 4 –9 11–0 0 4 Ê

This indicates that your system (Subscriber No. 1234) is reporting an Alarm (911), due to zone 4 (004) being faulted.

Example 2. Pager displays: 123 4 –0 0 1–0 0 5Ê

This indicates that your system (Subscriber No. 1234) is reporting an open/disarming (001) by User 5 (005).
