System Alarm
Alarms trigger for panic, fire, 24-hour audible and silent conditions for 24
hours a day, 7 days a week. When premises are in Armed Away, all delayed,
interior, and perimeter zones are protected. When premises are in Armed
Home (Stay), all delayed and perimeter zones are protected (interior zones are
ignored).
Once in Alarm mode, the system transmits an alarm event to the monitoring
station (if configured).
Call Waiting Policy:
*70
is added to the beginning of the phone number to disable call waiting to
ensure that the connection failure was not due to the use of the Call Waiting
Cancel feature on a non-call-waiting line.
In addition, the system notifies the user of the alarm by phone (if configured).
A local siren is heard if configured.
All events are saved to an event log.
3.5.1
Abort Window Time
When this option is enabled, the system sounds a warning, but the central
station does not receive notification of the alarm if the user disarms the system
within the specified alarm abort time.
3.5.2
Alarm Cancel
The Alarm Cancel window is a period of time starting at the end of the abort
window period, during which a user can cancel the alarm. The Alarm Cancel
window applies to all alarms that have been subjected to the Abort window. If
an alarm had previously been transmitted, an Alarm Cancel event signal is
transmitted to the monitoring station if the control panel is disarmed during
the Alarm Cancel window.
3.5.3
Zone Cross
The zone cross option requires an opening of two zones within a given time
period to initiate an alarm event sequence. If one linked zone is opened and
the other linked zone is not opened, a zone cross error is sent to the
monitoring station.
3.5.4
Swinger Zone Shutdown
If there are two or more opening events in an armed non-fire zone, the system
ignores the zone. The zone is restored after disarming the system or
automatically after 8 hours.
