Viewing alerts
An alert is an event that is not directly related to an intrusion event, such as
a low battery, a communications fault or an active "Technical Alarm" zone
(which is often used to monitor equipment such as freezers).
An alert does not cause the external siren/strobe unit to operate or internal
sounders to give a continuous alarm sound. Instead, the navigation key on
keypads glows red if the system is unset, and internal sounders give a
short "beep" once or twice per second (depending on the type of alert) until
the alert is acknowledged.

alert. Alternatively, press

you have rectified the problem).
6.
The standby screen is displayed and the beeping stops.
The navigation key continues to glow red until the faults are rectified.
