SIA Installations: Lettered keys not for use in CP-01 installations.

A silent emergency sends a silent alarm signal to the central station, but there will be no audible alarms or visual displays.

An audible emergency sends an emergency message to the central station (if connected) and will sound a loud, steady alarm at your keypad and at any external sounders that may be connected (ALARM plus a zone number would also be displayed).

A personal emergency alarm sends an emergency message to the central station (if connected) and will sound at Keypads, but not at external bells or sirens. (ALARM plus a zone number would also be displayed.)

A fire alarm sends a fire alarm message to the central station and will uniquely sound external bells and sirens (FIRE plus a zone number would also be displayed).
