Beeps and LEDs— How Your System Talks to You
Touchpads and interior sirens produce a variety of operating beeps to inform you of different sys-
tem states and operations.
Key Beeps
A Key beep is the tone you hear when you press a button on an alphanumeric, fixed display, or
handheld wireless touchpad. The sound confirms that the button was pressed adequately. Key
Beeps can be turned on or off by the installer.
Status Beeps
Status beeps come from touchpads, sirens or speakers and are sounded when there is a change in
the current status of the system. Status beeps are not alarms, but they do warrant your attention.
There are different types of Status beeps:
•
Exit Delay beeps indicate that an arming command has been entered and the countdown to
arming has begun.
•
Entry Delay beeps indicate that you've entered the building and the countdown to an alarm
has begun. (So disarm the system as soon as you get in!)
•
Protest beeps indicate that you're trying to arm the system with an open door or window.
•
Chime feature beeps indicate when a door or window is opened.
•
Trouble beeps indicate a problem with the system or one of its components.
•
Sensor test beeps occur during a sensor test to indicate that a sensor was tested properly.
Status beeps are described in more detail throughout the manual and in "Appendix A: User
Sheets".
LEDs
Some touchpads have two LEDs that indicate the current system status at a glance. The red LED
is labeled Armed, the green LED is labeled Ready. The table below explains LED behavior.
