Executing Security System Commands
General
After accessing the security system, and at any point during, or
immediately after TeleCommand reports system status, it is possible
to execute most security system commands using the keys on the
telephone. For ADEMCO security systems, you would use the same
key entries normally performed at the system keypad; typically your
4-digit system code followed by a command key. For FBII
OMNI and IntelliSense security systems, the special key functions
(STAY, BYPASS, and INSTANT) are enabled by pressing the
appropriate key combination on the telephone keypad and entering
your four-digit user code. The FBII/IntelliSense key combinations are
as follows:
Pressing [
✱
] + [1] = STAY
Pressing [
✱
] + [2] = BYPASS
Pressing [
✱
] + [3] = INSTANT
Example: To arm an FBII/IntelliSense system to STAY INSTANT
mode, pressing [
✱
] + [1] + [
✱
] + [3] + [four digit user code]
Refer to the security system's User Guide for specific key entries
required (also see the TYPICAL SYSTEM COMMAND ENTRIES).
Command entries can be made during the pauses that occur between
each of the individual status reports, or during the pause immediately
following the complete report.
DO NOT PRESS ANY KEYS DURING VOICE MESSAGES.
If the status report annunciates
"System Not Ready,"
a condition exists (such
as an open zone) which will make it impossible for you to arm the system unless
the open zone is made intact or bypassed during the arming procedure. If not
already announced, pressing the
✱
key during a pause in the status report will
cause TeleCommand to announce the particular zones that are faulted (which
door or window is open, for example).
Following your entry of a system command, wait for status
confirmation of the command from TeleCommand.
