2. What if my alarm goes off accidentally?
False Alarm can occur at any time. However, your system’s configuration will also play a role in
determining which alarms can be transmitted to the monitoring console at a given time. Please
review Section 1.4 Security Levels for a better understanding of the monitoring status of each level.
• Armed - Monitors all devices
• Occupied
o Instant – Monitors the facility’s perimeter and alarms are transmitted instantly
o Delay – Monitors the facility’s perimeter and Entry/Exit delay allows for authorized
persons to leave or enter through the designated doors before sending an alarm to
the monitoring console.
• Disarmed - Monitors devices that are programmed on a 24Hr security level, such as Hold-up,
Temperature Control, Tamper switch, etc.
–
Determine if there really is an actual break-in, or a malfunctioning device.
–
Don't panic - remember your code.
–
If the alarm was accidental (while in the Arm or Occupied State) disarm your system.
–
Carefully press each number of your code. Practice, be prepared to reset.
–
After you've reset the system, call Sonitrol to report the accidental activation.
–
If your Sonitrol system is tying up your phone line, wait several seconds and try again or use an
alternate phone.
–
Don't leave your facility until you've spoken with Sonitrol personnel.
3. Recommendations to prevent False Alarms

Tell all users who to call when the alarm activates.

Keep your Sonitrol system instruction book and phone number handy.
