The OFF key is used to disarm the system and to silence alarm and trouble sounds. See "SUMMARY OF
AUDIBLE NOTIFICATION" section for information which will help you to distinguish between FIRE and
BURGLARY alarm sounds.
IMPORTANT!
If you return and the main burglary sounder is on, DO NOT enter the premises, but call the
police from a nearby safe location. If you return after an alarm has occurred and the main
sounder has shut itself off, the keypad will beep rapidly upon entering, indicating that an
alarm has occurred during your absence. LEAVE IMMEDIATELY and CONTACT THE POLICE
from a nearby safe location.

Disarming the System

To disarm the system and silence burglary or fire alarms:
1.
Enter your User Code +
****DISARMED****
2.
READY TO ARM
IMPORTANT!
It is not necessary to press the "OFF" key on the keypad to disarm the system when it is in
entry delay or alarm. Entering a valid user code alone causes the system to disarm. Unless
specified, all other operations require pressing the "OFF" key. This is a SIA CP-01
requirement.
If an invalid code is entered to silence an alarm condition, the keypad stops beeping for 10-
15 seconds. If a valid code is not entered during the 10-15 seconds, the keypad resumes
beeping.

Memory of Alarm

The keypad displays the zone number and type of alarm for any zone that has an alarm condition.
These messages will remain displayed until cleared by a user. If an alarm has occurred, note the zone
number displayed on the keypad and repeat step 1 above to clear the "Memory of Alarm" and restore
the Ready message display. If the Ready message does not display, go to the displayed zone and
remedy the fault (close windows, etc.). If the fault cannot be remedied, notify the alarm agency.
If the system was armed when the alarm occurred, repeat step 1 twice: once to disarm the system, a
second time to clear the display.

while armed) and the keypad beeps once to confirm that the
