Once the source of the alarm has been corrected, the system will return to the Ready state. Viewing Alarms in Memory WARNING: If the alarm is not sounding, but there is an alarm in memory, it is possible that an intruder may still be on the premises. Go to a nearby safe location and call the local police to investigate. If an alarm occurred while the system was armed, the System light and the zone light corresponding to the zone that caused the alarm will flash for 30 seconds after the system has been disarmed. Any alarms showing on the system have occurred only during the last armed period. To cancel the alarm memory display, press during the 30-second display period. After the 30-second period is over, the system will return to the Ready state, but the System light will be ON. The zone lights of the zones that were in alarm and the System light will flash. Calling for help All keypads have three pairs of emergency keys. Using these keys you can send an immediate Fire, Auxiliary or Panic message to your central station. IMPORTANT NOTE: The Fire, Auxiliary and Panic keys will NOT function unless turned ON by the installer. If your installer has turned these keys ON, and enabled audible feedback, holding down the keys for two seconds will cause the keypad sounder to beep indicating that the alarm input has been accepted and transmission to the central station is underway. NOTE: In the U. S. A. , do not program the Aux keys for use in medical emergencies as per UL requirements. 4 Turning the door chime on or off Turning the door chime on or off If your installer has enabled the door chime feature, your PC5502Z2 keypad will sound a tone whenever designated doors or windows are opened or closed. Your installer has programmed which doors and windows will activate the door chime. The keypad will sound one long beep. Programming access codes Your PC5502Z2 keypad has two 4-digit access codes. The Master code can be used to arm and disarm the system, access system features, and to program the regular access code. This system has been carefully designed to be as effective as possible. There are circumstances, however, involving fire, burglary, or other types of emergencies where it may not provide protection. Any alarm system of any type may be compromised deliberately or may fail to operate as expected for a variety of reasons. Some but not all of these reasons may be: s Inadequate Installation A security system must be installed properly in order to provide adequate protection. Every installation should be evaluated by a security professional to ensure that all access points and areas are covered. Locks and latches on windows and doors must be secure and operate as intended. Windows, doors, walls, ceilings and other building materials must be of sufficient strength and construction to provide the level of protection expected. [. . . ] s Warning Devices Warning devices such as sirens, bells, horns, or strobes may not warn people or waken someone sleeping if there is an intervening wall or door. If warning devices are located on a different level of the residence or premise, then it is less likely that the occupants will be alerted or awakened. Audible warning devices may be interfered with by other noise sources such as stereos, radios, televisions, air conditioners or other appliances, or passing traffic. Audible warning devices, however loud, may not be heard by a hearing-impaired person. [. . . ]
