NESS R8 CONTROL PANEL - USER MANUAL
OPERATION - EMERGENCY FUNCTIONS
The DURESS alarm can be used to send a
silent alarm to the Central Station that you are
being forced to disarm the panel against your
will. That is; you are disarming under “duress.”
To Disarm and send a DURESS alarm, prefix
your User Code with the digit 9 when
Disarming.
* DURESS IS NORMALLY NOT ENABLED. TO
ENABLE THE DURESS FUNCTION, CONSULT
YOUR INSTALLER
* DURESS ALARMS CAN ONLY BE USED IF
YOUR R8 PANEL IS MONITORED BY A CENTRAL
STATION.
* THE DURESS ALARM DOES NOT SOUND ANY
SIREN OUTPUTS AND CAN ONLY BE REPORTED
BY DIALLER TO YOUR CENTRAL STATION.

DURESS ALARM
To generate a DURESS alarm using the keypad,
add the digit '9' in front of your code when disarming.
If enabled by your installer, to generate a
DURESS alarm using a Radio Key, press
and hold the Radio Key PANIC button for
at least 4 seconds.
The Keypad Duress function is disabled by default,
and must be enabled by your installer.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The R8 normally
processes signals from the Radio Key Panic
button as a PANIC alarm. The panel must be
programmed by your installer to process
this signal as a DURESS alarm.
