3.7 Duress Arming / Disarming
3.7.1 What is a Duress Code?
A duress code is a personal user code that the alarm panel recognises as being entered under duress. By this
we mean that the user has been forcibly made to enter their user code to disarm or arm the panel by another
person.
The alarm panel treats this code like a proper user code and behaves as normal. The duress code will arm or
disarm the system as normal. However, an emergency message is sent to your central monitoring station
indicating that the panel was armed/disarmed under duress.
Method 1
Reverse the 3
rd
and the 4
th
digits of your user code when entering it into the keypad.
example, enter 1 2 4 3 instead of 1 2 3 4.
Method 2
Enter the duress code as programmed on your system.
When you enter the duress code, the panel will act normally, however the duress event will be reported to the
Central Monitoring Station.
