Special chime
Special chime allows you to install motion sensors in a patio or at the front door,
and be notified when someone is approaching those areas. These motion
sensors are not used for intrusion protection. The panel will chime three times, if
the special chime mode is enabled.
Note: If there are no special chime sensors in your system, the Special chime
option will not appear in the System menu.
Latchkey
Use the latchkey feature to notify you, via a remote phone, if a family member
does not arrive home at a predetermined time and disarm the system. When this
feature is active, a latchkey alarm is reported if the premises are not disarmed by
the programmed latchkey time. For example, if you set the Latchkey time for 3:00
p.m. and the system is not disarmed by that time a message is sent to your
remote phone. The latchkey feature can be activated during arming if a latchkey
time is programmed.
To activate the latchkey feature:
1. Press MOTIONS twice. If a code is required, enter your code after the first
press of the MOTIONS button, then press MOTIONS a second time.
2. The panel MOTIONS light will blink and the exit delay will begin.
Note: This feature is not verified for use by UL.
System status
Press STATUS (no code is required) to cause the system to display and speak
the following types of information:
• Alarm conditions
• Alarm history
• Trouble conditions
• Open sensors
• Bypassed sensors
The STATUS button blinks when an active alarm exists. The STATUS button is lit
when an abnormal condition such as a trouble or open sensor exists in the
system.
You can clear certain status entries from the system (such as old alarm history)
by pressing DISARM after checking the status.
