Using the Chime Mode
CHIME mode alerts you to the opening of a perimeter door or window while the system is disarmed.
When Chime mode is activated:
•
Three tones sound at the keypad whenever a perimeter door or window is opened.
•
Entry/Exit zones such as doors and Perimeter zones such as windows will produce a Chime when
faulted.
•
Interior zones, such as motion detectors, do not produce a tone when they are faulted.
•
Pressing the

Chime mode can be used only while the system is disarmed.

Using the Voice Chime
Voice keypads have a feature that works in concert with the Chime Mode called Voice Chime. Voice
chime provides a voice status annunciation, chime, and display when any faulted entry/exit or perimeter
zone exists. Ask your installer if this option has been enabled for your system.
To turn Voice Chime Mode on or off:
# + 0 + 2 + 4
(normal Chime mode must be on first)
When Voice Chime is on, faulted zones cause a voice status announcement, chime and display. When off, the
sounder still provides chime if normal Chime mode is on.
