Communicating with the Panel
Your system can be set up to communicate with you through:
• Status beeps
• Alarm sirens
• Touchpad text
• Pager information
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 operating 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.
