What To Do When You Come Home
Entry through a door:
If you enter your home while the system is armed in the Day or Away modes, using your normal entry door:
•
Console beeper comes on - display indicates: " *** DISARM SYSTEM *** - PRESS OFF THEN CODE"
•
Any lights or control modules programmed to come on for the door that you used will do so.
•
The system will wait the Entry Delay time.
You should go to your console (or telephone) immediately and turn the security system off. If you wish, you may go directly to a
different security mode, rather than turning the system Off.
If you return home and hear the alarm sounding or the outdoor lights are flashing,
DO NOT ENTER
. Use a neighbor's phone to
call for help.
What Happens When the Alarm is Activated
Burglar Alarm Activated
If someone enters through any zone other than an
Entry
-Exit zone, if the security system is in the
Night
mode, or if the security
system is not turned off during the
Entry
Delay:
•
The sounder is activated, which makes a loud, continuous sound.
•
The display shows the type of alarm and the zones that have been tripped:
"BURGLAR ALARM! - ZONE NAME TRIPPED".
If more than one zone is tripped, then the bottom line will show each zone tripped for two seconds.
•
The When Alarm macro is activated. Any units programmed to come on will do so.
•
The Flash For Alarm Unit Number begins to flash on and off.
•
The system now waits the Dial Out Delay. (0 - 60 seconds)
•
If programmed, the in-house phones are seized (disconnected) and the Aegis 1000 begins to dial out.
If you are having your system monitored by a central station, the central station will be sent a code representing the type of alarm
(burglary) and zone involved. In most cases, the central station will call back, requesting your password or passcode.
If you are not using central station monitoring but are using the voice dial out capability, the system looks at the Dial Order to
determine which number to call first, and calls that number.
If you are using both central station monitoring and voice dial out, then the voice dial out is delayed by five minutes to give the
central station time to call you back.

•
The system continues to sound all alarms and flash the flashing light for 1-30 minutes after the alarm is activated.
•
After a 1-30 minute period, the sounder is turned off, and the alarm system resets itself. The console beeper stays on.
If a zone is tripped after a reset, the sounder will again be activated, and the dialer will again dial out.
At any time, the alarm system can be turned off at the console.
