Introduction XT30/XT50 User’s Guide 9
Email/Cell Phone Messages
Your system may be programmed at installation to send a variety of
messages to your personal email, and cell phone.
The message option uses your security system’s reporting capability
to send reports using an email address or cell phone number in
much the same way as someone sending an email would do. You
can receive reports of alarms, troubles, or system armings and
disarmings and know at a glance your system status. See Appendix
D for more information.
Text Messaging Commands
Your system may be programmed to allow simple text messages to
be sent to the security system and perform basic user operations.
By texting a message from your cell phone or PDA, the following
actions can be performed: Arm/Disarm, check Armed Status,
Cancel Alarm, and turn Outputs On/Off. See Appendix D for more
information.
Understanding Security System Terms
Throughout this guide, and in some displays on your keypad, you
may see certain words or phrases that might be unfamiliar.
Below are some terms you will see here and on the keypad
display.
Arming
This is the term used for turning on the burglary protection in one
or more areas of the system. Your system may require you to enter
a user code. When armed, the system can sound alarm bells or
sirens and, if monitored, send alarm reports to a central station
when a burglary zone is faulted.
Fire, panic, and other 24-hour devices are always turned on and do
not need to be armed.
ALARM CANCELLED
An Alarm signal just sent to the central station was cancelled
because a user code was entered after the alarm was sent. Also,
an Alarm Cancel signal is sent to the Central Station.
ALARM VERIFIED
Avalidburglaralarmhasoccurredandhasbeenmanuallyveried
by the user. The alarm system also transmits a VERIFY message to
the Central Station.
ENTER CODE
The system requires you to enter a personal user code. User codes
can be used for turning your system on (arming), turning your
system off (disarming), and other system options.
As you enter your user code, the keypad display shows an asterisk
(*) in place of each digit pressed. This prevents others from seeing
your user code on the display as you enter it.
TRY AGAIN or INVALID CODE
The code entered is not recognized by the system. Check the user
code and try again.
TRBL (TROUBLE)
There is a problem with a protection device or system component.
This display is accompanied by a description of the problem.
SYSTEM TROUBLE or SERVICE REQUIRED
There is an electronic failure in your system. Contact the service
department as soon as possible.
TEST IN PROGRESS
The system is currently being tested by an installation or service
technician.
