ALARM CANCEL

At any time, you can silence your alarm system by pressing the SECURITY-OFF key and entering your code. If the system has reported, or is in the process of reporting an alarm to a central station, it will send the alarm code followed by a code indicating that the alarm has been canceled by the user.

If an alarm is canceled before the dial out delay has expired, the system will not report any alarm.

If an alarm is canceled during a voice dial out, the system hangs up immediately, unless the recipient of the call has entered a master or access code.

TROUBLE INDICATIONS

The Model 1503 constantly moni- tors the alarm loops and several internal matters and will alert you if it detects trouble. The particu- lar trouble is indicated on the bottom line of the display and a trouble signal is given by beeping the console beeper continuously, 2 beeps per second.

When any trouble condition oc- curs, the console will beep twice per second and continue to beep until the CANCEL button is pressed to acknowledge the trouble. The console will say TRBL NOW (trouble now) if the trouble condition actu- ally exists while you are looking

-AC POWER OFF TRBL NOW or HAD TRBL: Indicated if the normal house current powering the Model 1503 Control/Communicator is interrupted for more than 3 min- utes. If this happens without good cause, check the black wall mounted transformer to ensure that it hasn’t come out of the wall socket; check to see that the socket has power; check the fuse on the Model 1503 Termina- tion Board in the Model 1503 Control/Communicator to be sure that it is good.

-BATTERY LOW TRBL NOW or HAD TRBL: Every hour, the Model 1503 makes a dynamic test of the bat- tery. The charger is turned off and a load is placed on the bat- tery for 10 seconds, then the battery voltage is read. If the battery voltage is too low, then the console will indicate BAT- TERY LOW. If this happens, make sure that the battery is con-
