Managing AlarmsPage 20Accidental alarmsYour installer may have configured your system so that if you set off analarm accidentally, you have an "Abort Time" (by default 120 seconds) inwhich to cancel the alarm. Go immediately to the control unit and enteryour access code. If you do this within the Abort Time, the system will sendan “Alarm Abort” message to the ARC (if used).If the alarm is cancelled after the Abort Time, immediately call any ARC thecontrol unit communicates with to notify them of the accident.Viewing alertsAn alert is often an event that is not directly related to an intrusion event,such as a low battery, a communications fault or an active "TechnicalAlarm" zone (which is often used to monitor equipment such as freezers).An alert does not cause the external siren/strobe unit or internal soundersto give a continuous alarm sound. Instead, internal sounders (including thecontrol unit's internal sounder) give a short "beep" once or twice per second(depending on the type of alert) until the alert is acknowledged.To view the cause of the alert (assuming the system is unset):1. Press  before entering your access code.2. Enter your access code or present your proximity tag to the keypad.The bottom line displays the most recent alert. For example:OR, for example:The bottom line may alternate between displaying the zone numberand name (if applicable).3. Press  to acknowledge and, if applicable, reset the alert.Repeat this step for any other alerts that may be active.
