Silencing Alarms
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.
