If An Alarm Sounds
Fire Alarm
If your system has been installed with fire detectors and the alarm sounds in a pulsing mode, follow
your emergency evacuation plan immediately (see “Fire Escape Planning” on page 15).
Intrusion Alarm
If an intrusion alarm sounds, indicated by a continuous Bell or Siren, the alarm may be silenced by
entering your access code. If the alarm was unintentional, call local authorities immediately to avoid an
unnecessary response.
You can determine the source of the alarm by following the instructions in the “Disarming” section (see
page 4 and 5). Once the source of the alarm has been corrected, the panel can be restored to its
original Armed state.
NOTE: A fire alarm has priority over a burglary type alarm.
