Duress

The duress function activates a silent signal to alert security personnel. For example, if you are asked, under
threat, to breach your system security (for example, forced to disarm the system), this function lets you do so
while at the same time activating the system duress facility. However, your Advisor MASTER system must be
programmed to use it.
You use a duress digit in conjunction with your PIN code. The duress digit is the last digit of your PIN, plus
one (1).
Example: PIN = 1234 - duress digit = 5
If the last digit of your PIN is 9, then the duress digit is 0.
To activate duress
1. Enter your PIN code without the last digit (for example, 123)
2. Enter the duress digit, for example, 5 in the case shown above.
3. Press: [OFF]
or [ON]
or [ENTER].
To reset duress
To reset the duress facility (i.e. to turn off the signal), enter a valid PIN code.
If duress was activated under conditions that are no longer valid (false alarm), and it has been reset, you must contact your
central station company to ensure that they take no further action.
Using your PIN code with the duress digit still activates the functions associated with the PIN.
