Zone
– A zone is essentially another name for a sensor. Each sensor must be assigned its
own zone. A zone has a number, a name, and a type (such as perimeter, interior, or fire). In
the Basic Kit, the three sensors are pre-programmed to zones 1, 2, and 3.
I don't want monitoring. How can I stop the Abbra from trying to communicate with
NextAlarm?
In order to take full advantage of your Abbra security system, including your free year of
NextAlarm.com monitoring service, you will need to either plug your Abbra into a standard
phone line, or into an ABN adapter for Internet monitoring. However, if you would prefer not
to utilize these features, follow these steps to disable the system's communications with our
central station.
Enter Installer Mode by pressing Next Item until Installer Mode is displayed, then
pressing View/Select, then typing in 5602, which is the default installer code.
Select the Define Comm section by pressing Next Item until Define Comm is
displayed, then pressing View/Select.
Select the central station reporting parameter by pressing Next Item until Reprt >
Cntr is displayed, then pressing View/Select.
Disable central station reporting by pressing Next Item until Disable Reports is
displayed, then pressing View/Select twice.
Press Away, then View/Select to exit Installer Mode.
I have just plugged in the Abbra control panel, and the Trouble light is lit and the
system is beeping.
When the Trouble light is lit, the Abbra is having some kind of problem. To see what the
specific problem is, press View/Select twice. The keypad LCD will show the problem, and if
the system will also speak out the problem, if the voice is turned on. When the problems are
resolved, the Trouble lit will turn off, and the system will stop beeping.
The Trouble light will stay lit until the problems are fixed, but you can stop the beeping by
entering the Installer Mode, navigating to Define Panel, and setting Trouble Beeps to
"Disabled". This does not solve the problem, but is helpful if the issue will take some time to
resolve. The beeps can also be temporarily disabled by disarming the system (even if it is
already disarmed). This will stop the beeps for four hours.
Note that pressing View/Select multiple times will also show problems or alarms that are in
the system's memory, even if they have been resolved. These will remain until the system is
armed and disarmed.
If the Trouble light is not lit, then the system is not having a
problem.
The common reasons for the Trouble light to turn on include:
