To use a paired key panic function, simply press both keys of the assigned pair at the same time. If your keypad has lettered keys for panic functions, press the designated key and hold down for at least 2 seconds to activate the panic function. Panic keys can also be activated by wireless devices such as the Ademco 5827. Ask your installer about this feature.
Types of Panic Alarms
A silent emergency/silent alarm sends an alarm signal to the alarm monitoring company,† but there will be no audible alarms or visual displays.
An audible emergency/audible alarm sends an emergency message to the alarm monitoring
company† and sounds a loud, steady alarm at your keypad and at any external sounders that may be connected (“ALARM” plus a zone number are also displayed).
A personal emergency/aux 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 supervised fire alarm sends a fire alarm message to the alarm monitoring company† and uniquely activates keypad and any external sounders (“FIRE ALARM” plus a zone number are also displayed).
† If your system is connected to an alarm monitoring company
Chime Mode
Your system can be set to alert you to the opening of a door or window, while it is disarmed, by using CHIME mode. When activated, three beeps will sound at the keypad whenever a protected perimeter door is opened and the zone voice descriptor will be announced. Pressing the STATUS key will display
the open protection points.
Note that the Chime mode can be turned on only when the system is disarmed.
To turn Chime mode on or off: FUNCTION + CHIME
The “CHIME” message displays while Chime mode is on, and disappears from the display when Chime mode is off.
