KEYPAD CONTROL TONES (BEEPS)
A sounder is built into the keypad and may sound for any of the following reasons:
#
Beeps for all keypresses.
#
Sounds a continuous tone during the Entry delay time.
#
Pulses when a "Day Zone" is violated, a zone configured for fire has a trouble condition,
or when the armed status changes and the "Power" light if off. It will also pulse when a
zone light designated as a fire zone is on steady from a previous alarm, or blinking as a
result of a previous fire trouble condition. When pulsing, it can be silenced by entering a
valid code. (The armed state of your security system will not change when a valid code is
entered to silence the pulsing sounder.)
#
3 Beeps for trying to arm when a faulted zone is not bypassed.
#
Beeps 1 second for "CHIME" and when this feature is activated or deactivated.
#
3 Beeps when errors are made reprogramming codes.
#
Beeps 1 second at the end of the exit delay.
RESETTING YOUR SECURITY CONTROL CENTER
In the event of a system malfunction in the Security Control Center, press the reset key [#]
located on the Keypad Control for one (1) second. This should reset the code sequence and
restore normal operation. If the problem persists, call the service number located on page 1
of this booklet for service.
TESTING YOUR SECURITY SYSTEM
There are several tests you should perform on a periodic basis (at least once a week) to insure
that your Security System is functioning properly.
#
Enable the "CHIME" Feature and open all protected windows and doors. The Keypad
Control should sound (beep) for each device and the appropriate yellow zone light should
blink.
#
Walk into all areas protected by motion detection devices while someone observes the
Keypad Control. The appropriate yellow zone light should blink for each sensor tested.
#
If your system has a "FIRE" Zone, the Smoke or Heat detectors should be tested at least
monthly. If your Security System is monitored by a Central Monitoring Station, always call
before to let them know that you are about to conduct a test of the fire detection system.
Always call after the test to ask for results and to put your fire detection system back into
service.
#
If the Siren/Bell test option has been selected by your installing company, you may activate
the siren/bell by pressing the one [1] and the seven [7] keys at the same time for one
second. To silence the siren/bell, enter your 4 digit Master or Auxiliary Code.
If any of the above tests are not successful or the results unclear, contact your service company
at the phone number listed on page 1 of this booklet.
