KEYPAD CONTROL TONES (BEEPS) 

 
A sounder is built into the keypad.  If programmed, your system keypad may 
sound for any of the following reasons: 
 

Beeps for all keypresses. 

Sounds a continuous tone during the Entry delay time. 

Pulses when a day zone is violated while the system is disarmed. 

Pulses when a FIRE zone has a trouble condition. 

Beeps 3 times for trying to arm with the “Ready” light off, if “Force Arming” 
has not been selected. 

Beeps for 1 second or emits a “ding-dong” sound for the “Chime” feature. 

Beeps during an exit delay; beeps rapidly for the last 10 seconds of an exit 
delay; and beeps 1 second at the end of the exit delay. 

Pulses when the armed status changes and the AC power is off. 

Pulses when the armed status changes and any zone(s) are bypassed. 

Pulses when the armed status changes and a low battery is detected. 

Pulses when the armed status changes and a Tamper condition is detected. 

Pulses when one or more of the following conditions are detected: Zone or 
Box Tamper, Low Battery, AC Power Fail, or Expander trouble. 

Entering a valid code will silence the keypad sounder when it is pulsing.  The 
arm/disarm state of your system will not change when entering a code to silence 
a pulsing keypad sounder.  Please contact your installer if a trouble condition 
exists.
