Siren 

The siren is capable of low and high sounds. Low level sounds for non-alarm cases such as key-

presses and trouble beeps. High level sounds are used for alarm situations.

Trouble Beeps

Trouble beeps will be silenced for 10 hours if the Status button is pressed or until one hour prior 

to Quiet Hour for non-fire related troubles. Trouble beeps will be silenced for 4 hours if the Sta-

tus button is pressed and is not affected by Quiet Hour for fire related troubles.
Quiet Hour determines the start time of a 10 hour window during which trouble beeps are sup-

pressed. For example, if Quiet Hour is set to 10 p.m. trouble beeps will not occur between 10 

p.m. and 8 a.m. 
Beeps in Level 1 or 2 for the following conditions:
• Low CPU Battery
• Sensor Supervisories or Troubles
• Sensor Low Battery
• RF  Jam
• RF Trouble 
• Phone Module Failure
• System Memory Failure
