Silent Duress Alarm
If you are in a life-threatening situation (for example, if you enter the premises
and find an intruder inside), you can enter the duress code instead of an access
code while arming or disarming the system. The duress code causes the panel to
send a silent duress alarm to the monitoring service. This notifies the monitoring
service of a potentially life-threatening situation, but no alarms sound at the pre-
mises.
NOTE: If you do not have a monitoring service for your system,
you cannot use the silent duress alarm feature.
The first two digits of your duress code are the same as the first two digits of your
primary access code. The last two digits can only be changed by your security
consultant or monitoring service.
■
To activate a silent duress alarm:
Enter
DURESS CODE + [1, 2, OR 3].
The panel and interior sirens sound the appropriate number of arming level beeps
for the level you selected, and the panel announces,
Alarm system is [OFF or ON
level #]
. The system immediately reports the duress alarm to the monitoring ser-
vice.
NOTE: Silent duress alarms cannot be canceled.
