Siren options
The panel has two built-in sound sources: a piezo siren and a speaker. The piezo siren makes alarm beeps and
status beeps. Fire and intrusion alarm beeps are always played at high volume, while the volume of status
beeps (such as trouble or chime beeps, entry and exit delay beeps, or auxiliary alarm beeps) is programmable.
The speaker emits the panel’s voice and also sounds beeps when a key is pressed. Its volume is also
programmable.
The siren and built-in speaker options consist of the following:
