If You Have Difficulty with
Phone Access to the Security System (cont’d)
THE SYSTEM HAS BEEN ACCESSED AND
STATUS REPORT ANNUNCIATED, BUT A
COMMAND CANNOT BE EXECUTED.
If the command has been keyed, but
confirmation is not heard, check as follows:
•
Keying of entry may have been too rapid –
make key entries slowly and firmly.
•
You may have keyed entries while the
system was speaking. Make your key
entries only during pauses in
annunciations by the system.
•
The System Security code entered may be
incorrect.
•
Certain command functions have
restrictions. For example, the PANIC
function cannot be initiated via the phone
if the control is in the programming mode
and the TEST mode can only be initiated
from an on-premises phone.
•
Also, assigning temporary user codes via
the phone is not possible with some
systems – check with your installer.
"See System Keypad"
Phone Message Is
Annunciated.
This message will be annunciated during
any of the following conditions:
1.
If the security system is in the TEST
mode. In this mode, a fixed-word keypad
will only display the normal NOT
READY message, while an Alpha keypad
will display TEST IN PROGRESS in
some systems, unless a zone is faulted, in
which case the zone number (and
description if an Alpha keypad) of that
zone will be displayed.
1.
Tampering has caused
"CALL-IN TO
SYSTEM OFF, SEE SYSTEM
KEYPAD"
message to be annunciated.
Four or more unsuccessful attempts have
been made to access the system from off-
premises, causing Remote Phone Access
to be turned off automatically. If the
system is in the disarmed mode, an Alpha
keypad will display CALL-IN TAMPER
and a fixed-word keypad will display
CI
.
However, if the system is in the armed
mode, only the normal SYSTEM ARMED
message will be displayed.
2.
Low battery in a Wireless
Transmitter. If the system is in the
disarmed state, a "Low Battery" message
will be displayed. If the system is in the
armed state, this display message may
not appear until the system is disarmed
(depending on how the system was
programmed).
3.
Downloading is in progress (your
alarm monitoring station is sending data
to your security system over the phone
lines). During this period, an Alpha
keypad will display MODEM COMM and
a fixed-word keypad will display CC.
4.
There has been a failure of the
system to communicate with the
central alarm monitoring station. If
the system has attempted to send a report
to the central alarm monitoring station
and has failed an Alpha keypad will
display COMM FAILURE and a Fixed-
word keypad will display "FC.”
