Alarm
Alarm Panels
The Protospace alarm panels are located near the front and back entrances.
Disarm - First In
When armed, opening a door will start the activation sequence, where the panels will sound a continuous tone. Don't Panic.
To disarm the alarm simply punch in the alarm code, no other buttons need to be pressed.
A 5 pulse tone will be heard and the alarm will be disarmed.
If the correct code is not entered within about a minute, the full alarm siren will be activated. The same code is still used in full alarm state.
Arm - Last Out
The alarm must be armed whenever Protospace is being left vacant, regardless of the length of time a person thinks they will be gone.
To arm the alarm, it must be in 'Ready' status:
- Ensure all exterior doors are closed and locked - all doors and locks are monitored by the alarm and it will not arm if something is unlocked or open.
- Ensure that no motion sensors are triggered - You may need to stand still for a few extra seconds if you just walked to the door.
- When the panel indicates "Ready" - Enter the alarm code, no other buttons need to be pressed.
- An exit delay will be started of 1-2 minutes signified by a 1Hz chirp. During this time you can temporarily open the door to exit, then the alarm will be armed.
