In addition to individual zone alarms various conditions can be transmitted directly through the keypad. These conditions are initiated through the simultaneous depression of two keys, as shown below:
The keypad emergency conditions are programmable and can be used for conditions such as PANIC, FIRE, or MEDICAL Emergency. These conditions can be programmed by your installer to suit your needs. The keypad emergency conditions are active 24 hours a day, whether the system is armed or disarmed.
For example if keypad emergency condition 1 has been defined by your installer as a PANIC , then an emergency panic signal can be sent by hitting the * and # keys at the same time.
The RESET (3+1) command can be used to acknowledge conditions such as alarms and troubles at the keypad if the reset function has been enabled by your installer.
The DURESS signal is meant to disarm the system and transmit an emergency signal to the Central Station indicating that there is a problem.
The DURESS capability must be enabled by your installer and can be initiated in one of two methods:
- either by entry of user code #16
- OR
- entry of a valid user code with the last digit altered by one. For example, if there is a valid user code of 1234 then duress codes of 1233 or 1232 exist for that user.
Upon entry of the duress code, the system will disarm in a normal fashion and optionally transmit the duress signal to the Central Station.
NOTE: The DURESS capability is only available if activated by your installer. Please contact your installer to determine whether duress has been activated and the method used.
