Resetting Smoke Detectors
Most wireless smoke detectors used with this system automatically reset themselves, after detect-
ing smoke. Most hardwired smoke detectors must be manually reset after detecting smoke,
before they are able to detect smoke again. Check with your installer for smoke detector reset
procedures for your system
To reset wireless smoke detectors:
1. Disarm the system. The smoke detector will reset once all the smoke has cleared.
To reset hardwired smoke detectors:
1. Disarm the system.
Note
In some cases a smoke sen-
sor reset switch has been
installed. If so, you’ll need to
press it after Step 2.
2. The light on the smoke detector remains lit until it is reset.
3. Disarm system again to reset hardwired detectors.
Preventing
Accidental
Alarms
Your security system is engineered with advanced technology that reduces the chance of an acci-
dental alarm caused by a technical problem. In wireless systems, this technology prevents other
devices, such as garage door openers, ham radios, television remote controls, and cellular
phones, from interfering with your security system.
Most accidental alarms occur when leaving the residence after arming the system, or upon
returning, before disarming the system.
If, for example, you arm the system, then run upstairs for something you forgot, the Exit Delay
time may expire. Once the Exit Delay expires, opening an armed door or moving in front of a
motion detector will cause an alarm.
Aborting Accidental Alarms
Your system can be set up with the opportunity to abort an accidental intrusion, Police or Auxil-
iary alarm.
If the Dialer Abort feature is turned on, disarming the system within a specified time period will
silence the siren and prevent the alarm from being reported to the central monitoring station (thus
aborting the alarm). Your system will display “report aborted” for a few seconds, if you disarm
before the alarm is reported. If you don’t disarm in time to abort the central station report, the
system will automatically send an “alarm cancelled” report to the central station when the system
is disarmed. Follow the procedures of your central station to prevent a false dispatch. See “Alarm
Information” in Appendix A to determine if this feature is enabled for your system.
Fire alarms caused by smoke sensors, fire panic alarms, and heat sensors cannot be aborted. Dis-
arming a fire alarm will silence the siren, but fire alarms are always reported. If an accidental fire
alarm has sounded, follow the procedures of your central monitoring station to prevent a false
dispatch.
Note
There is a communicator delay (Dialer Abort Delay) of 30 seconds programmed into this panel. The
panel will delay 30 seconds before dialing the central monitoring station or a numeric pager to send
reports. You can have your installer program this delay time between 15 - 45 seconds.
To cancel an alarm:
1. Press 1. Touchpads display “ENTER CODE.”
2. Enter your Access Code.
OR
1. Enter your Access Code
Note
Programmed Idle Text is
programmed by your
installer to identify sensors,
outputs, etc. For example, a
sensor could be identified as
“Front Door.”
Touchpads display date and time or Programmed Idle Text. The system sounds one long beep.

Guidelines for Preventing Accidental Alarms
The following guidelines will go a long way toward preventing accidental alarms.
• Close doors and windows before you leave your house.
• Gather your belongings, so you can exit immediately after arming the system.
