Burglary

8 to 55 zone reporting format. Each protective device installed reports to a UL Listed Monitoring Center to let us know in which area of your home a violation has taken place. By knowing this, the proper authorities are informed exactly what area of your home to go to when dispatched. This enhances their response time. To arm and disarm the burglary portion of your system, you use a 4-digit code number that YOU program, or a 2-button quick-arm feature.

Fire
A separate channel is dedicated for smoke detectors and heat detectors which are monitored 24-hours-a-day regardless of whether the burglary portion of your system is armed or not.

Emergency
Every remote access terminal (on/off control) contains emergency buttons. Three separate buttons are present:
1. Fire
2. Police
3. Medical

These buttons are active 24-hours a day regardless of the burglary status. By holding the appropriate button for 2 seconds, you can have the desired professional assistance you need. By having to hold the button in for the 2 seconds, the possibility of a false alarm is greatly reduced.

Duress
This feature is used in case you are followed into your home and forced to turn your burglary protection off. You will have a separate 4-digit code number that you will enter on your remote access terminal that will disarm the burglary portion of your system while sending a silent signal to the Monitoring Center that you are being held hostage and an intruder is present in your home. Authorities are dispatched knowing a duress situation exists and is in progress at your facility.

This feature’s number is programmed by you, the owner, assuring no one knows this number but you and your assignees.

Rechargeable Battery Back-Up
Your system converts the use of electricity from high voltage to low voltage by a step down transformer. In the event you lose your electricity, a battery back-up will take over and power your system for several hours. When your battery back-up begins to lose to its charge, a signal will be sent to the Monitoring Center in which you or whoever you assign will be contacted.

Door Chime
Live alone or have small children?  This feature allows you to know when a door or window is opened and closed while your burglary protection is disarmed. A small series of beeps will sound from your remote access terminals when a device circuit is opened.

Bypass
This feature allows you to have a particular area of your home off while activating the rest of your system. This flexibility is excellent when working in another area of the building or when expecting delivery. Systems can be partitioned to act independent of one another depending on the model installed.
