DURESS
A duress facility is available on
The Challenger
but will operate only if your system has been programmed to use it.
The duress facility is a device which will activate a silent signal to security personnel.
If you are asked, under threat, to breach your system security (eg. being forced to disarm the system), you are able to do
so in a way that will also activate the system duress facility.
This is done by using a duress digit in conjunction with your PIN.
The duress digit is the last digit of your PIN, plus one (1).
eg.
PIN = 1234 - duress digit = 5
PIN = 2222 - duress digit = 3
If the last digit of your PIN is 9, then the duress digit is 0.
To Activate Duress:
1 2 3
~ Enter all but the last digit of your PIN.
5
~ Enter the duress digit.
OFF
~ Press
or
ON
~ Press
or
ENTER
~ Press
When duress has been activated, the display will show:
...,There Are No Alarms In This Area
Code:
Reset Duress:
To reset the duress facility (ie. Turn off the signal), enter a valid PIN code. The display will return to
There Are No Alarms
In This Area
etc. The
...,
will be removed.
Notes:
1.
If Duress was activated under conditions which are no longer valid (false alarm), and it has been reset, it is
important that you contact your monitoring company to ensure that no further action is taken by them.
2.
Use of your PIN with the duress digit will still activate the functions associated with the PIN.
