False Alarm Control Technology (FACTII)

Your system offers FACT II, a feature that prevents annoying

repetitive trigger sequences due to a faulty sensor or environ-

mental conditions such as thunder, jackhammers, airport noise,

etc.

Here’s how it works: The alarm triggers three times. Each time,

the same sensor is triggering the alarm. The three triggers are

within 60 minutes of each other. FACT II will interpret this

pattern of triggers as false alarms. After the third trigger, FACT

II ignores, or bypasses that sensor (along with any other sensors

sharing the same zone) for 60 minutes.

If the bypassed sensor tries to trigger the system while it is being-

bypassed, the 60-minute bypass period will start over. This

ensures that a sensor that continually triggers will remain

bypassed.

Doors are covered by FACT II differently: If the alarm is trig-

gered by an open door for three full cycles, the doors will be

bypassed until the trigger ceases.

FACT II is programmable. See the Programming Options

section of this guide.
