Setting and Unsetting
The majority of alarm systems are intended to detect the movements of
people, and to notify others when people move into protected areas.
Readying the system to start an alarm when someone moves into a
protected area is called “setting” the system. Disarming the system so that
people can move freely is called “unsetting” the system.
Alarms and Reset
When the system starts an alarm it usually includes activating sounders
and strobes and sending messages to an Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC).
The ARC may then call the police or other security service to come and
investigate the alarm.
Before you can set the system again you must silence the sounders and
then “reset” the system so that it is ready for setting again (see page 16 for
instructions). Please note that your Installer may have programmed your
system so that although you can silence the sounders, you cannot reset the
system yourself. Instead you have to call the Installer to come and check
the system and reset it for you.
Security Levels
