Siren regarding the alarm duration). During the alarm, the system will follow this pattern:
1. The system activates the siren.
a) The siren will emit pulsating sound if the violated zone is of Fire type, otherwise the sound will be
steady.
b) The EKB3W wireless keypad buzzer will emit short beeps.
NOTE: Alarm must be caused only on EKB3W zone.
e) If one or more zones are violated and keypad are manually waked up, EKB3W will light ON the
corresponding violated zone indicator (-s) ranging from 1 through 12. Indicator SYSTEM will ash

SYSTEM will light ON. For more details on viewing violated high-numbered zone and tamper
