Alarm Protocol

Different alarm events are handled in a different manner. For each
event the alarm monitoring station will respond in the following
ways:

1 Hit Protocol – System is armed and 1 device (a door or
motion detector) is violated. The monitoring system will take the

following course of action:

 Call the premise phone or verify through 2 way voice keypad –

they will require a valid name and passcode.

 If there is no answer or they do not receive a valid name and

passcode they will begin calling numbers on the keyholder list
until they reach someone to send to the premise.

 All persons listed as keyholders should have a key to the

premise.

2 Hit Protocol – System is armed and 2 or more devices (any
combinations of doors and motion detectors) are violated. The

monitoring station will take the following course of action:

 Call the premise phone or verify through 2 way voice keypad –

they will require a valid name and passcode.

 If there is no answer or they do not receive a valid name and

passcode they will dispatch the authorities and begin calling
numbers on the keyholder list until they reach someone to meet
the authorities.

Smoke Detector / Heat Detector – These devices are active at
all times & there is a 90 second delay between the detector
being activated and the monitoring station taking action. In

the event of a smoke or heat alarm the monitoring station will take
the following course of action:

 Call premise phone / verify through two voice keypad, if there is

no answer to verify a false alarm, the fire department will be
dispatched and the monitoring station will proceed to contact
keyholders to meet the fire department on site.

Panic Buttons – The panic button can activate the alarm
whether the system is armed or disarmed. The monitoring

station will take the following course of action:

 No call to premise. The RCMP will be dispatched and the

monitoring station will proceed to contact keyholders until they
reach someone to meet RCMP on site.

Flood Sensor & Temperature Sensors – These devices are
active at all times. The monitoring station will take the following

course of action:

 Call the premise phone / verify through 2 way voice keypad.

If they do not get an answer with a valid name / passcode they will

begin calling keyholders on the callout list until someone is reached.

Accessing & Controlling Partitions

An alarm system consisting of more than one partition splits your
alarm system into two or more sections, arming and disarming
each area separately while using only one phone line, therefore,
operating it as one alarm not two.

 To control one partition from the keypad of the other partition you will
need to know the number which corresponds to the partition you are
working with. Typically the house would pertain to partition 1 and the
detached building or garage would pertain to partition 2. If you are
unsure call Phase 3 Security.

To access partition 2 from the keypad in partition 1

Step 1: Press & hold the [#] key & wait for the
confirmation beep.
Step 2: Press & hold the [2] key & wait for the
confirmation beep.
 The keypad in partition 1 will now operate as the

partition 2 keypad.

NOTE: The same process can be done to access the partition 1 keypad
from the keypad in partition 2.
