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 during 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.
