What Happens When There is as Alarm
the event of an alarm, several things happen at once:
Sirens and hardwired touchpads emit emergency tones.
Panel notifies the central station for help.
Message appears on fixed English or alphanumeric touchpads.
Checking the Status of Your System
Checking the system status means finding out about the current condition of your system. This includes
finding out if any sensors are open or currently bypassed, whether or not the AC power and backup
battery are okay, the nature of the most recent alarm, and more, depending on the features in use and
the equipment in your system.
Check the system status if:
Your system sounds trouble beeps (five short beeps every minute).
Your touchpads display, “Zones,” “POLICE,” “AUXILIARY,” and “FIRE.”
Your touchpads display, “Press Status” or a blinking [*].
Short System Status
A Short Status indicates the current arming level, sensor status (whether open or bypassed), low battery,
supervisory, AC power or backup battery failures. To get a Short System Status, press [*]. ([*] is labeled
Status.) The system sounds beeps according to the current arming level. (One for Level 1, two for Level 2,
three for Level 3.) Touchpads display the status information, for example: “System is OK,” or “SENSOR 02
OPEN.”
If an alarm or system trouble condition has occurred, it is displayed on a touchpad the first time you
perform a Short or Full Status check. Performing a system status check a second time displays the system
status including any trouble conditions.
If any alarm or system trouble is active, it continues to show up in every status check until the system is
disarmed.
