Guidelines for Preventing Accidental Alarms
¾
Following these guidelines will go a long way toward preventing accidental alarms.
• Close doors and windows before you arm your system and leave your house.
• When getting ready to leave the house, gather the things you want to take with you so you can
exit immediately after arming the system.
• Always enter and exit within the programmed delay times.
• Make sure you leave through a door that has a delay time set for it. If you arm your system,
then leave through a door without a delay time, the siren will immediately sound the alarm
condition.
• When you return immediately disarm your system.
• Talk to the system installer to be aware of the devices in your security system and learn how
each one operates.
• Listen to system beeps. Take note of indicator lights and touchpad messages which indicate
the current system status.
• If you have pets, ask your installer if you need pet lenses in your motion detectors or pet
immune motion sensors. Pets climb higher than you may guess, causing alarms when you are
away.
• Check the location of your smoke detectors. Smoke detectors near bathrooms can be tripped
by steam from a shower. Smoke detectors near the kitchen can be tripped by excessive smoke
from cooking.
Panic Alarms
Panic alarms are easily activated from any touchpad to quickly alert the central monitoring sta-
tion to a Fire or Police emergency. A panic alarm can be sent at any time, regardless of the cur-
rent arming level.
This system is designed to inform a central monitoring station of the nature of the emergency so
the correct personnel can be dispatched immediately.
Each type of panic alarm sounds and reacts differently when activated.
Police Panic Alarm
The Police panic alarm sounds to scare off any intruder and alert neighbors to any trouble.
On monitored systems, the central monitoring station responds by calling the police.
