Generate Threat or Duress
If you are compelled to disarm the system under threat, you must enter the duress digit
before the user’s code to activate the automatic dialer. The duress digit shifts up your
usual code by one digit. If your code is 345 and 8 is your duress digit, than entering 8345
will modify your code. The modified duress code will disarm the system in a normal way,
but at the same time will activate the dialer silently to report a “duress event” without
arousing suspicion. (For details ask installer.)
How to Read System Messages
When viewing the memory events at the keypad by pressing the < MEMORY >,the first thing
that will always be displayed is the system messages.
If the system led turns ON but no other Zone LED’s are ON at the same time, this means
that there are no current system alarms. If a zone LED and LED’s are ON then this
indicates system alarms that have not yet cleared. The LED’s 1-8 are pre-defined as to
what system alarm they will display. These system alarm indications are shown
in the table below. Following the display of current system alarms the panel will then
sequence through the 127 historical memory events starting at the most recent event. The
second table shows the alarm events that can be displayed in memory mode and what
indicators are used to show them
