Phone Questions?

What if someone calls while I’m operating the panel?

If the phone rings while you’re using it to operate the system, you’ll hear one long beep for each ring from interior speakers and phones. You can answer the call by simply hanging up on the sys- tem, then answering the call as you normally would.

You’ll have to initiate another session to resume system operation.

Can I control the system while I’m talking on the phone?

No.

How do I perform other phone operations without commanding my security system?

You can use your phone for transactions such as banking from home by temporarily disengaging phone control to your security system. The following procedure will work for one call at a time.

To disengage local phone control:

1.Pick up the phone and press # + 7 + 3. The system responds by returning a dial tone.

2.Wait about 5 seconds for the system to disable local phone control, then make the desired phone call.

After you hang up, the system automatically enables phone control.

Testing the System

The system contains a test mode that allows you to test sensors and panic signals without creating false alarms in monitored systems. Please follow the instructions in this section carefully.

Automatic Test Features

Your security system automatically monitors for problems like power failures, low batteries, sen- sors that aren’t working, and communication trouble with the central monitoring station.

When your system detects a problem, trouble beeps sound to alert you. See “Troubleshooting” for an explanation of trouble beep causes and what you can do to fix the problem.

Manual Tests

There are weekly system tests you can do yourself as an added safeguard. Taking time to do these tests will familiarize you with your system and alert you to anything unusual, such as cut phone lines or sensors that have been tampered with.

Important !

Do not attempt to test sen- sors by tripping them while the system is armed. This can result in authorities being dispatched to the site, which could result in a fine.

Sensor Test

This test verifies that the sensors in your system are operating correctly. The ability to conduct a sensor test is a code attribute.

Check the User Sheets in Appendix A to see which access codes have the ability to conduct a sensor test. See “Assigning Code Attributes” or talk to your installer for information on changing code attributes.

Sensor test reports are sent to the central station at the beginning and end of system tests.

To enter Test Mode:

1.Make sure the system is disarmed to Level 1—Off. The system will not let you enter sensor test mode unless it is disarmed.

2.Press 8 + CODE + 3.

Touchpads display, “Press Status. System Armed to Sensor Test,” or “SENSOR TEST nn MINUTES LEFT.” When less than 5 minutes remain in Test Mode time, the system sounds a short beep every 60 seconds. System test

3.Follow the test procedure for each device as listed in the following table.
