What Happens in an Alarm Condition
When there is an alarm condition, four things happen all at
once:
❑
Speakers and touchpads emit emergency tones.
❑
System lights flash.
❑
Panel notifies the central station for help.*
❑
Pagers are notified of the event.
* Your system may or may not be monitored. If it is not monitored,
no call will be made.
Preventing Accidental Alarms
Your security system is engineered with advanced technol-
ogy that reduces the chance of an accidental alarm caused
by a technical problem. In wireless systems, this technol-
ogy prevents other devices, such as garage door openers,
ham radios, television remote controls, and cellular
phones, from interfering with your security system.
Most accidental alarms occur when leaving the residence
after arming the system, or upon returning, before disarm-
ing the system.
If, for example, you arm the system, then run upstairs for
something you forgot, the Exit Delay time may expire.
Once the Exit Delay expires, opening an armed door or
moving in front of a motion detector will cause an alarm.
Cancelling Accidental Alarms
Your system can be set up with the opportunity to cancel
an accidental intrusion, Police, or Auxiliary alarm. (Fire
alarms cannot be cancelled.)
If the Dialer Abort feature is turned on, cancelling the
alarm within a specified period will silence the siren and
prevent the alarm from being reported to the central moni-
toring station. Talk to your installer or see Appendix A
User sheets under “Dialer Abort” on page 32 to see if this
feature is enabled.
Cancelling a fire alarm will silence the siren, but fire
alarms are always reported. If an accidental fire alarm has
sounded, follow the procedures of your central monitoring
station to prevent a false dispatch.
To cancel an alarm:

tone Phone to Operate Your System” on page 23.
