System Armed (Alarm Mode)
If a zone is set to “Beep”, the control panel will give entry / exit delay.
If a zone is set to “Alarm”, the siren will sound immediately without entry delay
- Alarm Mode (System Armed): If a sensor is triggered (i.e. opening a door) with
the alarm setting on, the siren will sound immediately without entry delay, it is
called “Instant Alarm”. The siren will not stop until the siren timeout or a valid
password is entered. Control panel will call the emergency phone numbers to
notify the users of the alarm situation.
When a sensor is triggered, there are 4 options:
ZONE SETTING
OPERATING MODE BEEP ALARM
Disarmed (Alert) 1) Beep 2) Alarm sounds immediately
Armed (Alarm) 3) Entry / Exit Delay 4) Alarm sounds and calls
preprogrammed phone
numbers immediately
Factory Default: All zones were programmed to Beep at the factory.
ADVANCED PROGRAMMING
You may consider to programming the zone(s) into Alarm mode if:
- You need immediate attention if that sensor is triggered, such as flood sensor,
smoke sensor etc.
- The sensor will not be triggered on a daily basis, such as a door that you
normally will not open, and if it opens, you would like to know immediately.
Caution:
It is not recommended to program an outdoor sensor to Alarm mode, which may cause
false alarm. For outdoor sensors, they should be programmed into an Alert Zone,
please refer to page 33 for details.
