Special Security Command Tones
Your keypad also contains a small speaker that allows it to alert you
to events as they occur on your system. Below are brief descriptions
of the different tones you'll hear from the keypad:
Fire Alarm tone: An intermittent sweeping siren that sounds until
the fire alarm is silenced, on LCD keypads only.
Burglary Alarm tone: A constant siren tone at maximum volume
that continues until the alarm is silenced, on LCD keypads only.
Key press tone: A short beep each time you press a key on the
keypad and it’s acknowledged by the system.
Prewarn tone: A continuous pulsed tone that sounds when you
open an entry delay door on a system that is armed (turned on)
reminding you to disarm the burglary protection.
Monitor tone: A pulsed tone for one second, one pulse only that
sounds whenever a door or window is opened while you’re using the
zone monitor function from the User Menu. LCD keypads sound a
door bell chime. See Zone Monitor.
Trouble tone: A steady tone indicating a trouble condition on your
system. Press a SELECT key to silence.
What to do when the trouble tone is sounding
You can silence the trouble tone by pressing any one of the top
row SELECT keys. This only silences the keypad and does
not correct the condition that originally caused the trouble.

Introduction
Understanding Security System Terms
Throughout this guide, and in some displays on your keypad, you’ll
see certain words or phrases that might be unfamiliar. Although
every effort has been made to use terms that are commonly known,
there are some for which there was no acceptable substitute.
Below are some terms you’ll see here and on your keypad display:
Arming
This is the term used for turning on the burglary protection in one or
more areas of the system. Your system may require you to enter a
user code. When armed, the system is able to sound alarm bells or
sirens and, if monitored, send alarm reports to a central station when
a burglary zone is tripped.
Fire, panic, and other 24 hour devices are always turned on and do
not need to be armed.
Disarming
This means turning off one or more areas of the system. When
disarmed, the system does NOT sound alarms or send alarm
reports to a central station when a burglary zone is faulted.
Zone
A zone refers to one or more protected openings (doors or windows)
or protection devices (motion or glassbreak detectors) grouped
together under the same zone name and number.
Often, similar devices in the same general area will share the same
zone. For example, the windows on the east side of the premises
can all be grouped together in a zone named E. WINDOWS.
