Duress User Code
The Duress User Code (User Code #8) performs a special function. Controlling the system with this
code gives the appearance of normal operation, but using it secretly sends a “duress” report to the
Central Monitoring Station to initiate a silent alarm call for help.
USE THIS CODE ONLY IF SOMEONE IS FORCING YOU TO OPERATE YOUR SECURITY
SYSTEM AGAINST YOUR WILL.
A silent report will be sent to the Central Monitoring Station and
they will dispatch help.
