SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Alarms
When an alarm occurs, both the touchpad and external sounders will sound, and a
message at the touchpad will identify the zone(s) causing the alarm. In addition, an alarm
message will be sent to the ADT Customer Care Center. To stop the alarm sounding, you
simply disarm the system.
Memory of Alarm The touchpad displays the zone number and type of alarm for any zone that has an alarm
condition. These messages will remain displayed
even after disarming until cleared by a
user. Note the zone number displayed on the touchpad and perform a second OFF
sequence to clear the "Memory of Alarm" and restore the “Ready” message display. If the
Ready message will not display, go to the displayed zone and remedy the fault (close
windows, etc.). If the fault cannot be remedied, notify the ADT Customer Care Center.
Phone Access &
Voice Response
Capability
(Optional)
Your system may include a phone module that will permit you to access the system via a
Touch-tone phone, either on-premises or by call-in when away. The phone access
feature will enable you to do the following:
• Receive synthesized voice messages over the telephone regarding the status of the
security system.
• Arm and disarm the system and perform most function commands via the telephone,
with voice confirmation provided after each command entry.
Complete information regarding the use of this feature is provided in a separate manual
entitled PHONE ACCESS USER'S GUIDE, which accompanies the voice module.
Paging Feature
If the paging feature has been programmed for your system, a pager will respond to
certain conditions as they occur in your system, and display code numbers indicating the
type of condition that has occurred.
For detailed information, refer to
PAGING FEATURE on page 25.
