System Overview (cont’d)

NOTE: Cross Zoning and Swinger Suppression options can help reduce false alarms. Ask your installer if your system is programmed for either of these features. An Abort Window feature exists for all non-fire zones. All non-fire alarm reports are NOT transmitted to the central station if the code + off sequence is entered within the Abort Window time period. Ask your installer if this feature has been programmed. There is also a 5-minute Cancel Window feature in your system. Starting at the end of the Abort Window you can cancel an alarm. A cancel signal is transmitted if either the alarm system is disarmed or both a disarm and a function key is pressed during the 5-minute Cancel Window time-period. A message of alarm aborted will appear on the keypad screen if this condition occurs.

Burglary Protection

The burglary protection portion of your system must be turned on or "armed" before it will sense burglary alarm conditions. Your system provides four modes of burglary protection: STAY, AWAY, INSTANT and MAXIMUM, and even allows you to BYPASS selected zones of protection while leaving the rest of the system armed. The system also provides a CHIME mode, for alerting users to the opening and closing of doors and windows while the system is disarmed. Refer to the other sections of this manual for procedures for using these features.

The following table lists the four different arming modes and the results of each.

Memory of Alarm

When an alarm condition occurs, the keypad displays the number(s) of the zone(s) that caused the problem, and displays the type of alarm (ex. FIRE, ALARM). It remains displayed until it is cleared by disarming the system (see DISARMING THE SYSTEM section).
