VIEWING EACH SENSOR’S STATUS
The Control Panel will also show you which sensor-protected doors and windows are open. Your installer has
programmed descriptive names for each sensor-protected door and window. The Control Panel’s color display will show
the names of which doors and windows are open.
● The top of the display on the Home, Security, and Menu screens shows sensor status. See “System Status Icons” on
page 23. Tapping the Status button also displays a list of open sensors and general system status and alerts.

DEALING WITH A SENSOR FALSE ALARM
When armed, the Control Panel reports alarm conditions on all sensors, both visually (on the status bar, and
through a system alert icon) and audibly (through voice and chime announcements). There are rare times
when an sensor will send a false alarm condition to the Control Panel. The conditions of a false alarm vary
depending on the type of sensor and how that sensor communicates with the Control Panel.
● Perform a System, Sensor, and Panel Test to nd any false alarm conditions. See "System Test" on
page 29. See "Sensor Test" on page 29. See "Panel Test" on page 30.
