ProSYS User Guide 31
Duress Unsetting
If you are ever coerced into unsetting your system, you can comply
with the intruder's wishes while sending a silent duress alarm to the
Alarm Receiving Centre. To do so, you must use a special
duress code, which when used will unset the system in the regular
manner, while simultaneously transmitting the duress alarm.
NOTE:
To comply with UK local police requirements, by default the Duress alarm is
not reported to the ARC.
To use a duress code, add 1 to the last digit of your user code, as
shown in the table below:
User Code Duress Code
1-2-3-4 1-2-3-5
5-6-7-8 5-6-7-9
6-7-8-9 6-7-8-0
NOTES:
Under no circumstances should the duress code be used haphazardly
or without reason. ARCs, along with Police Departments, treat duress
codes very seriously and take immediate action.
To unset using a duress code:
1)
If outside the premises, open an "entry" door. The
keypad(s) beeps, indicating that the Entry Delay time
period has begun.
2)
Enter your duress code and press
. The system is
unset, and a silent alarm is sent to the Alarm Receiving
Centre.
