•  Status of bedroom doors.
•  Familiarity with alarm signals.   
•  Crawling and holding breath.
•  Escape fast. No stopping for packing.    
•  Meet at designated outdoor spot.
•  Emphasize that no one is to return to a burning house.
•  Fire department notification from a neighbor’s phone.
•  Periodic rehearsal is to be conducted.   
•  Testing of door during a fire and use of alternate escape route if door is hot to touch.

OFF MODE   Top of Page

•  Switching to Off Mode stops any alarms in progress.                  
•  The 24-hour buttons are still active in Off Mode and can be triggered by pressing the [FIRE] or [EMERGENCY] button.               
•  Switch to Off Mode by entering a user code, then press [OFF].
•  When the system is disarmed to Off Mode, the Console will sound one “Gong”.
•  If an alarm has occurred, multiple beeps will sound after disarming and the sensor light for the
• sensor(s) that caused the alarm will flash.           
• Note: In Off Mode, protected doors and windows cannot trigger the burglary alarm.

CHIME MODE   Top of Page

• Chime Mode is for monitoring entries and exits without causing alarms.
•  Use Chime Mode as an “automatic door chime” when at home.    
•  Opening any protected door or window causes the Console to sound a “ding-dong”.           
•  Select the Chime Mode by entering a user code, then press [CHIME].      
•  You can enter Chime Mode from Off Mode by holding down [CHIME] for two seconds.
•  When the system is switched to the Chime Mode, the Console will sound a “Gong” and one “Beep”.

HOME MODE   Top of Page

• Use this mode when sleeping or when anyone is staying inside.
• Home Mode causes an instant alarm when any perimeter sensor is triggered.        
• Home Mode causes a delayed alarm when any exit/entry sens or is triggered (except in Home Ins tant Mode when they are instant).             
• Alarm siren stops automatically after five minutes and the system will remain armed. 
• Home Mode ignores all interior sensors (motion detectors, etc.).
• Arm to Home Mode by entering a user code, then press [HOME].                                              
• You can “Quick Arm’ to Home Mode from Off or Chime Mode by holding down [HOME] for two seconds.

• A “gong” and two “beeps” will sound and the HOME light will blink for 30 seconds. No exit delay beeps will sound during the silent Exit Delay.  
• You can leave through a door with a delayed perimeter sensor during the 30 second Exit Delay without causing the Console to begin an Entry Delay.

HOME INSTANT MODE   Top of Page

• If the system is already in the Home Mode and you want to make all exit/entry sensors instant, press [HOME] for 2 seconds.

• A “gong” and two “beeps” will sound and the HOME light will blink continuously.
• Because all exit/entry sensors will now cause an instant alarm when in Home Mode, the    Console must be disarmed before opening any exit/entry delay door.

MANUAL BYPASSING OF SENSORS   Top of Page

• Manual bypassing of sensors in the Home Mode allows you to arm the system at night with open windows, while still having perimeter protection with other closed doors and windows.

• The Console will resist arming with open door or window sensors.          
• Four high-low beeps will sound to warn you that something is open and the system will remain in the previous mode.  
• Lit sensor status indicators will show which sensors are open.   
• To manually bypass the open sensors, arm the system again within 5 seconds.        
• A “gong” and two “beeps” will sound, the HOME indicator will light, and the open sensors will be bypassed.

 WARNING: Bypassed sensors cannot cause an alarm. 

AWAY MODE   Top of Page

• Use this mode when no one will be staying home
• Away Mode causes an instant alarm when any perimeter sensor is triggered.
• Away Mode causes a delayed alarm when any exit/entry sensor is triggered.
• Away Mode causes an instant alarm when any interior sensors (motion detectors, etc.) are triggered. The interior sensors will be delayed if an exit/entry sensor is triggered first.

SYSTEM TROUBLE INDICATIONS  Top of Page

• The DVS-1200 Console is a self-monitoring supervised wireless system.
• If the Console detects a problem with any of the supervised system sensors or backup battery, it will display the appropriate trouble indication and, if monitored, report the trouble to the Central Station through the communicator (depending on communicator programming).

• 

        Central Station Monitoring Service

• CONSOLE LOW BATTERY  Top of Page
• The Console constantly charges and monitors the optional backup battery (if installed).
• If the backup battery condition is abnormal, the POWER light will indicate the trouble.
• The POWER indicator normally glows when AC power is on.
• With a charged backup battery installed, if the Console looses AC power, the POWER indicator will dim as the Console runs on the backup battery.
• If the backup battery is low, recharging, or not installed, the POWER indicator blinks when AC power is present.
• If the AC power is off and no backup battery is installed, the POWER indicator will be off (in this case the system has no power and is disabled).
• Normal battery life for the type of backup battery used in the Console is 5-7 years. If the battery does not take a charge in 72 hours, it should be replaced.
