Recording of Events During any given set period, there is no limit to the number of signals sent from individual activations.

AVOIDING FALSE ALARMS False alarms are inconvenient and may be costly. Police can withhold response from consistent offenders. Here are nine points to help avoid false alarms. 1. Be sure you fully understand how to operate the alarm system. In your absence someone thoroughly instructed, should be available to operate the system.
ALARM AND HELP MESSAGES Alarm In Progress ALARM IN The system is currently in alarm condition and must be cancelled by a valid PIN or PROGRESS keyswitch operation. Pa Reset Required After a PA (Personal Attack) zone has been activated, the system has to be reset by a RESET REQUIRED high level code (such as a manager or engineer depending on the reset level setting).
