Checking Status or
Controlling a Suite
Security System
Status of an Apartment/Suite or
Facility
The 'Suite Security' status screen
shows the status of various items
pertaining to each apartment or
facility associated with a suite-security
keypad, and allows silencing a suite
keypad alarm, or changing a
suite/facility arming level
(V4.31).
Note: Since each keypad typically pertains
to a separate, privately-owned dwelling, any
arming changes should typically be
coordinated with the occupant.
