WARNING: If the bells and sirens are on and/or the red Armed light is flashing, then the keypad is signaling that an alarm has occurred

sometime before your arrival. The DS7447 will display “Zone Alarm.” The DS7443 or DS7445 zone LEDs will be flashing for the

corresponding zone that is in alarm.

• The keypad will also issue a pulsed tone during the entry delay instead of the usual steady tone.

• If the alarm has not been previously investigated, do not enter the building unless accompanied by the appropriate Emergency Services’

personnel.

This chart explains proper procedures for disarming and/or silencing alarms.

Turning Off (disarming) the System under Duress

A duress code is used when someone demands, by threatening your life or well-being, that the system be turned off. When used, the code will

both turn off the system and report a silent duress alarm if connected to a monitoring service. User code 14 can be optionally configured as a

duress code. User code 14 will not arm the system, or report duress, if the system is not armed. Extreme care should be used when entering

your PIN to turn off the system, so a duress code is not inadvertently entered. User Code 14 is not a duress code by default. You must program

the control panel that User Code 14 is the duress code. Ask your installation company if you desire this feature.
