Setting Up Alarm Silences
When an alarm occurs, a horn sounds and a strobe light flashes at each installed central
alarm. An alarm banner screen appears. An alarm message and Alarm Silence button are
on the banner. Touching this button silences the horn and turns off the lights for configurable
periods of time and causes the alarm banner to disappear. You can set different lengths of
time for keeping the horn silent and keeping the light turned off. If a new alarm occurs, the
horn sounds and the light turns on again.
To set the lengths of time for suppressing the alarm strobe and horn, complete the following
steps:
1. Go to the “System Setup” screen (Figure 3) by touching the Menu button on any screen.
Then touch System Setup. The “System Setup” screen will pop up.
2. On the “System Setup” screen (Figure 4), touch the Strobe Suppress button. A keypad
pops up with an entry of 0.
