9. Responding to an alarm
First of all: remain calm. An alarm does not always mean anintrusion. Sometimes an alarm is caused by
something else, such as a self-triggered false alarm.For this reason, get a feel of the situation  rst and then
respond accordingly in a composed manner.Disarm the system, check the reason for the alarm and then reset
the alarm.
If an alarm is triggered,  rst disarm your alarm panel by entering a user code, for example. You will then be
prompted to "reset" the alarm panel. This means that you must still "acknowledge" the alarm on the system
in order for it to be ready for operation again.
The alarm is then shown on the display. "T2" means that an alarm has been triggered in sub-area2. "Intrusion
Z202 alarm" means that an intruder alarm has been triggered in "zone202" in this sub-area. This "zone02"
is the second detector in the system, with the name "MC kitchen" (magnetic contact in kitchen). You can now
go into the kitchen to see what exactly has happened near this detector.
If the cause of the alarm is clari ed and corrected, press "Reset". The system is
then reset and ready to be armed again. Note that a reset is necessary. If this is
ignored (e.g. if you press "Exit") the reset does not take place properly and
appears automatically during the next arming process. If no entry is made, the
graphical display disappears a er 1minute but remains on the system.
Important: occasionally you may  nd that an alarm cannot be reset. This may occur, for example, if the
housing of your alarm panel and its components have been opened and a tampering alarm has been
triggered. This can be corrected only by your specialist installation contractor.
