Operation Manual

KEYPAD CONTROL TONES (BEEPS)
A sounder is built into the keypad. If programmed, your system keypad may sound for any of the following
reasons:
• Beeps for all keypresses.
• Sounds a continuous tone during the Entry delay time.
• Pulses when a day zone is violated while the system is disarmed.
• Pulses when a FIRE zone has a trouble condition.
• Beeps 3 times for trying to arm with the “Ready” light off, if “Force Arming” has not been selected.
• Beeps for 1 second or emits a “ding-dong” sound for the “Chime” feature.
• Beeps during an exit delay; beeps rapidly for the last 10 seconds of an exit delay; and beeps 1 second at
the end of the exit delay.
• Pulses when the armed status changes and the AC power is off.
• Pulses when the armed status changes and any zone(s) are bypassed.
• Pulses when the armed status changes and a low battery is detected.
• Pulses when the armed status changes and a Tamper condition is detected.
• Beeps to indicate Telephone Line Cut, if selected.
• Pulses when one or more of the following conditions are detected: Zone or Box Tamper, Low Battery, AC
Power Fail, or Expander trouble.
• Beeps 3 times every minute indicating a low battery or missing transmitter is detected (if wireless device is
in system). Entering code will suppress the sounder for 12 hours.
Entering a valid code will silence the keypad sounder when it is pulsing. The arm/disarm state of your system will
not change when entering a code to silence a pulsing keypad sounder. Please contact your installer if a trouble
condition exists.
