Silencing, acknowledging and resetting alarms
If there is an alarm, you will need to silence the sirens and sounders (if they
are still running), acknowledge the cause of the alarm and reset the
system.
Note:
By default, sirens run for a maximum of 15 minutes. If this period has
expired, the system may be silent, but you will still need to
acknowledge and reset the alarm.
See "Viewing alerts" on page 26 if the keypad is beeping
approximately once per second.
If an alarm occurs when the system is unset, the navigation key glows
red.
To silence, acknowledge and reset an alarm:
1.
Make sure that it is safe to enter the premises.
2.
Enter your access code or present your proximity tag in the normal
way. This silences the alarm (if the sirens and sounders are still
operating).
Note:
In a partitioned system, you can silence, acknowledge and
reset an alarm only if it has been caused in a partition to which you
have access.
3.
If the keypad has a display, the navigation key glows red and the
bottom line of the display shows the first zone to alarm. For example:

Press
to indicate that you have acknowledged the alarm message.
The system returns to standby and is ready to set again.
