How Your Security System Works
When an intruder enters the building, a detection device is trig-
gered. The device sends a message to the control panel. The
device may have LEDs (lights) that blink.
The control panel responds by sounding the alarm. (Alarm sounds
vary. If your system is programmed for silent alarms, no bells
sound.) A message is sent to the keypad and, if connected, to the
monitoring station.
The keypad displays a warning message. Personnel at the moni-
toring station confirm the alarm and respond accordingly.
Some alarms can be canceled before the siren sounds and the
monitoring station is notified. See Section 4 for more information.
