24-Hour Alarm Buttons
Three 24-hour alarm buttons can be shown or hidden by the installer on
the Control Panel's touchscreen: Panic, Fire, and Emergency. The
emergency alarms activated using these buttons can also be activated
from other installed devices. For example, wireless sensors, wireless
keypads, or from portable pendant devices.
NOTE:
Consult your installer to show or hide the 24-Hour
Emergency Alarm Buttons on your system. Typically, all of
these buttons are configured to display on the touchscreen
default. However, some systems are not configure to reveal
all of the buttons.
You can open the following screen by pressing the Alarm button on the
Control Panel. See "Activate a Manual Panic, Fire, or Emergency Alarm"
below. This reveals a screen that is typically configured by installers to
include these 24-hour emergency alarm buttons:

24-Hour Alarm Buttons
Panic Button
When a user touches and holds the Panic button for two (2) seconds, the
system immediately goes into the alarm state. Depending on how the
system is configured, the Control Panel emits a loud, patterned warning
siren or sets off a silent panic alarm with no siren. The system also
transmits a police report to the Central Station.
NOTE:
Consult your installer to determine if the Police
Emergency Key is configured to sound an audible alarm or a
silent panic alarm.
NOTE:
Consult your installer to determine if the 2-Way Voice
feature is enabled on the system. If enabled, setting off the
Panic alarm gives operators at the Central Station the ability
use the Control Panel's built-in speaker and microphone to
converse with people on the premises.
NOTE:
Consult your installer to determine if the Silent
Panic/Burglary Listen Only feature is enabled on the system.
If enabled, setting off the Panic alarm gives operators at the
Central Station the ability to use the Control Panel's built-in
microphone to listen. With this option, the operator is only
able to listen. For your protection, you and the operator will
not be able to talk.
Fire Button
When a user touches and holds the Fire button two (2) seconds, the
system immediately goes into the alarm state. The Control Panel emits a
loud, patterned warning siren that is in compliance with ANSI S3.41
Temporal-3 Fire Alarm Signal and continues to sound until the system is
disarmed (see "To Disarm the System" on page 34) or the Fire Bell Cutoff
Time expires. The system also transmits a Fire Report to the Central
Station.
NOTE:
Consult your installer to determine how the Fire Bell
Cutoff Time is configured on your system. The time can be
configured to last 4 minutes, 8 minutes, 12 minutes, 16
minutes, or Unlimited (no cutoff). The default setting is four
(4) minutes.
Emergency Button
When a user touches and holds the Emergency button two (2) seconds,
the system immediately goes into the alarm state. The Control Panel emits
a loud , patterned warning siren and continues to sound until the system is
