Silencing Alarms
Intelligent Security & Fire Ltd

When the alarm system has been
reset after an alarm.
A random 4-digit code may be
displayed, along with the message
"CALL ENGINEER".
Normally it is necessary for an
engineer, from your installing
company, to check the installation
and reset the system for further
use.
If you have caused the alarm
in error.
Your alarm Receiving Centre (or
alarm company) may permit you
to reset the system without an
engineer present. They will require
you to quote this 4-digit code by
telephone (advise them it is for a
Castle 'MERIDIAN' system).
In exchange you will be given a
special code which will reset the
system for that one occasion
only.
