(FOR MANUALLY ACTIVATING SILENT AND/OR AUDIBLE ALARMS)
Using
Panic Keys
*
If connected to the
Customer Care Center.
Your system may have been programmed to use special keys or combinations of keys to
manually activate emergency (panic) functions. The functions that can be programmed are:
Silent Emergency, Audible Emergency, Personal Emergency, and Fire.
A silent emergency sends a silent alarm signal to the Customer Care Center,* but there
will be no audible alarm or any visual display indicating that a silent alarm has been initiated.
An audible emergency sends a signal to the Customer Care Center* and sounds a
loud, steady alarm at your touchpad(s) and at any external sounders that may be
connected (ALARM plus a zone number is also displayed).
A personal emergency
alarm sends an emergency message to the Customer Care
Center* and sounds at touchpad(s), but not at external bells or sirens.
A Fire Alarm will send a fire alarm message to the Customer Care Center* and will
uniquely sound external bells and sirens (see page 29 for typical fire alarm displays).
