Fire and Smoke Alarms

2

Instructing the Panel

Not just anyone can walk up to a touchpad and operate 
your security system. Before the system will process most 
commands, users are required to enter a pre-programmed 
4-digit access code. See “Access Codes” for detailed 
information.

Keychain touchpads that are enrolled as part of the system 
do not require an access code, but are usually kept in an 
individual’s pocket or purse. 

If you would rather use an actual key to arm and disarm 
the system, your security dealer can install a special key 
and keyswitch in your home.

How Your System Communicates with 
You

Touchpads and interior sirens produce a variety of operat-
ing beeps to inform you of different system states and 
operations. The fixed display touchpad also uses indicator 
lights.

Key Beeps

A Key beep is the tone you hear when you press a button 
on a touchpad. The sound confirms that the button was 
pressed adequately. Key beeps can be turned on or off by 
the installer.

Status Beeps

Status beeps from touchpads or sirens sound when there is 
a change in the current status of the system. Status beeps 
are not alarms, but they do warrant your attention.

There is more than one type of Status beep:

‰

Exit Delay beeps indicate that an arming command 
has been entered and the countdown to arming has 
begun.

‰

Entry Delay beeps indicate that you’ve entered the 
building and the countdown to an alarm has begun. 
(So disarm the system as soon as you get in!)

‰

Trouble beeps tell you that there is a problem with the 
system or one of its components.

‰

Chime feature beeps tell you that a door was opened.

‰

Protest beeps inform you that you’re trying to arm the 
system while there is an open door or window. 

‰

Sensor test beeps are the sound the system makes dur-
ing a sensor test to indicate that a sensor was tested 
properly.

Status beeps are described in more detail throughout the 
manual.

Pager Notification

Your system can dial the phone numbers of three different 
pagers to notify users of events they may want to be aware 
of. Some of the events include:

‰

when the system is disarmed, 

‰

when the system is armed, 

‰

trouble conditions in the system, and 

‰

alarm conditions.

For more information, see “Notification by Pager.”

Indicator Lights

The fixed display touchpad used with Concord™ Express 
Systems includes ARMED and READY indicator LEDs 
(light emitting diodes) that provide instant feedback. 

ARMED

The red LED is the ARMED indicator. It will flash during 
the exit delay when you are arming the system to level 2 
(STAY) or level 3 (AWAY). It will also flash during the 
entry delay, before you disarm your system.

The arming indicator will stop flashing—but will remain 
on—when the exit delay expires and the system is armed.

The arming indicator will be off when the system is dis-
armed.

READY

The green LED is the READY indicator. It will be on 
whenever the system is functioning normally. The ready 
indicator shuts off if the system detects a trouble condi-
tion. 

 œÌi

Any time you notice that the ready light is not on, you 
should press the STATUS button to find out what the 
trouble condition is.

Fire and Smoke Alarms

If your system contains smoke and fire sensors, it monitors 
the premises for smoke and fire alarms 24 hours a day and 
in all arming levels.

These alarms cannot be cancelled or aborted and are 
always reported to the central station. Since many commu-
nities 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 the Appendix A User Sheets under 
“Accidental Smoke and Fire Alarms.”
