How to control the Alarm Bell sound during Remote Arming or Keyswitch Arming.

The Alarm Bell sound during a Remote Arm or Disarm is configured with the Remote Warning setting.

Remote Warning

Default: No

Selections: Yes or No

This parameter pulses the alarm bell once (2-sec ON, then OFF) when the assigned area is remotely armed, and twice (2-sec ON, 2-sec OFF, 2-sec ON, then OFF) when the area is remotely disarmed. This parameter also applies to keyswitch arming and disarming.

Important:

To comply with SIA CP-01 False Alarm Reduction, set this parameter to Yes. See SIA CP-01 Verification for more information.

When upgrading a non-GV4 control panel account to a GV4 control panel account, RPS forces the default to No.

Parameter Options:

Yes: The system uses the alarm bell output to annunciate the arming and disarming of an area through remote software, or a remote arming device (keyswitch or keyfob).
No: No remote warning occurs to annunciate the arming or disarming of an area through remote software, or a remote arming device (keyswitch or keyfob).
