Disarming and Silencing Alarms

Using the 1 OFF Key

The OFF key is used to disarm the system and to silence alarm and trouble sounds. See "SUMMARY OF AUDIBLE NOTIFICATION" section for information which will help you to distinguish between FIRE and BURGLARY alarm sounds.

IMPORTANT: If you return and the main burglary sounder is on, DO NOT enter the premises, but call the police from a nearby safe location. If you return after an alarm has occurred and the main sounder has shut itself off, the keypad will beep rapidly upon entering, indicating that an alarm has occurred during your absence. LEAVE IMMEDIATELY and CONTACT THE POLICE from a nearby safe location.

To disarm the system and silence burglary or fire alarms:

1. Enter your security code and press

DISARMED

READY TO ARM

OFF

1.

2.The Ready message will be displayed (if no alarms have occurred while armed) and the keypad beeps once to confirm that the system is disarmed.

IMPORTANT: It is not necessary to press the “OFF” key on the keypad to disarm the system when it is in entry delay or alarm. Entering a valid user code alone causes the system to disarm. All other times pressing the “OFF” key is needed. This is a SIA CP-01 requirement.

If an invalid code is entered to silence an alarm condition, the keypad stops beeping for 10-15 seconds. If a valid code is not entered during the 10-15 seconds, the keypad resumes beeping.

Memory of Alarm

The keypad displays the zone number and type of alarm for any zone that has an alarm condition. These messages will remain displayed until cleared by a user. If an alarm has occurred, note the zone number displayed on the keypad and repeat step 1 above to clear the "Memory of Alarm" and restore the Ready message display. If the Ready message does not display, go to the displayed zone and remedy the fault (close windows, etc.). If the fault cannot be remedied, notify the alarm agency.

If the system was armed when the alarm occurred, repeat step 1 twice: once to disarm the system, a second time to clear the display.
