Using the system
4.4 Unsetting the system
Disarming the system so that people can move freely is called “unsetting”.
To unset the system from a keypad:
1.
Enter through the designated entry route. Do not stray from this route – you may cause an alarm.
2.
If you hear a tone, go directly to the keypad, since you will have limited time to unset the system
before it generates an alarm.
3.
Enter your access code and press the unset button .
4.5 Managing alarms
If there is an alarm, you will need to silence the sirens and sounders (if they are still running),
acknowledge the cause of the alarm and reset the system.
To silence, acknowledge and reset an alarm:
1.
Make sure that it is safe to enter the premises.
2.
Enter your access code in the normal way. This silences the alarm (if the sirens and sounders are still
operating).
Note:
You can silence, acknowledge and reset an alarm only if it has been caused in a partition to
which you have access.
3.
The navigation key glows red and the display shows, for example:
P r e s s t i c k t o r e s e t
Z o n e 0 0 0
The display alternates between showing the zone number & zone name (e.g. “Zone 000”) and alarm
type.
4.
If you see “reset” in the message (see above):
•
Press
✓
− this acknowledges the alarm and resets the system. The system returns to standby and
is ready to set again. The navigation key returns to its normal (green) state.
If you see “Call Installer” or “Call ARC” at the top of the screen:
•
Press
✓
− this acknowledges the alarm, but you will need to call theinstaller or ARC to reset the
system.
Although the system is not reset, you will still be able to set and unset the system normally. The
navigation key and applicable set/unset icons stay red until the alarm is reset.
