Panic alarms
Panic alarms are easily activated from any touchpad to quickly alert the central
monitoring station to a police of fire emergency. A panic alarm can be sent at any
time, regardless of the current arming level.
This system is designed to inform 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. A police panic
alarm sounds a continuous tone. A fire panic alarm sounds a repeating series of three
beeps.
Police panic alarms
A police panic alarm sounds to scare off any intruder and alert neighbors to any
trouble. On a monitored system, the central station responds by calling the police.
To activate a police panic alarm from the panel:
1. Press and hold the Arm and 1 buttons until the panel responds.
To activate a police panic alarm from the wireless touchpad:
1. Press and hold the Police (*) buttons until the panel responds.
To activate a police panic alarm from a keychain touchpad:
1. Press and hold the Lock and Unlock buttons at the same time for two seconds.
Fire panic alarms
If your system includes smoke and fire detectors, it monitors the premises for smoke
and fire alarms 24 hours a day and in all arming levels.
These alarms cannot be aborted and are always reported to the central station. Since
many communities charge for dispatching the fire department in error, your dealer
may give you specific instructions to follow in the event of an accidental smoke or fire
alarm. Record these instructions in “Accidental smoke and fire alarm” on page 26.
To activate a fire panic from the panel:
1. Press and hold the Silent and Chime buttons until the panel responds.
