Dialer Delay
Dialer delay is an option programmed by your installer that provides time to abort an
accidental alarm and prevent it from reporting to the monitoring station. The default dialer
delay is 30 seconds, but can be increased up to 45 seconds (consult with your installer).
After an alarm has been activated, you have 30 seconds (default) to disarm the alarm
to prevent it from calling the monitoring station. The LCD keypad will display “Alarm
Aborted” if you successfully cancel the alarm and prevent it from being reported. If you
don’t disarm in time to abort the report, follow the procedures discussed with your install-
er to prevent a false dispatch.
System Alarm Responses
When an alarm condition occurs, the keypad displays the type of alarm (e.g., Intrusion
Alarm) and the description of the zone(s) that caused the alarm. It remains displayed until
it is cleared by disarming the system. In the event of an alarm, the sirens and LCD key-
pads will respond as detailed in Table 3 and the alarm will be reported to the central moni-
toring station if the system is monitored
