Your installer should

seconds to activate the panic function. Panic keys can also be activated by wireless devices such as the
Ademco 5827. Ask your installer about this feature.
Types of Panic Alarms
A silent emergency/silent alarm sends an alarm signal to the alarm monitoring company,† but
there will be no audible alarms or visual displays.
An audible emergency/audible alarm sends an emergency message to the alarm monitoring
company† and sounds a loud, steady alarm at your keypad and at any external sounders that may be
connected (“Alarm” plus a zone number are also displayed).
A personal emergency/aux alarm sends an emergency message to the alarm monitoring company†
and sounds at keypads, but not at external sounders. (“Alarm” plus a zone number are also displayed).
A supervised fire alarm sends a fire alarm message to the alarm monitoring company† and uniquely
activates keypad and any external sounders (“Fire Alarm” plus a zone number are also displayed).
† If your system is connected to an alarm monitoring company
Chime Mode
Your system can be set to alert you to the opening of a door or window, while it is disarmed, by using
CHIME mode. When activated, three beeps will sound at the keypad whenever a protected perimeter
door is opened and the zone voice descriptor will be announced. Pressing the STATUS key will display
the open protection points.
Note that the Chime mode can be turned on only when the system is disarmed.
