How to Avoid False Alarms
Avoiding false alarms is critical to better monitoring service and preventing
false alarm fines from your local municipality. Below are tips to help you
receive better alarm response.
• Select the seven day training period on your Emergency Information
Schedule.
• Select the “standard” procedure for intrusion alarms on the Emergency
Information Schedule.
• Make sure everyone in your house knows how to use the alarm system.
They should all know a valid three-digit code and the codeword. Notify
Brink’s if you are going to sell or rent your home, so we can assist the
new residents.
• Cancel all accidental alarms by entering your three-digit code, then press
CANCEL. (You can also cancel accidental alarms in reverse order by
first pressing CANCEL then entering your three-digit code.) See page 10
for more details.
• Test the system each week and promptly notify Brink’s Customer Service
of any problems at 1-800-445-0872. Customer Service is available 24
hours a day, seven days a week.
• If you experience any unexplained false alarms, immediately contact
Brink’s Customer Service.
• If you are going to fumigate your home or do any other work, which will
create a large amount of dust, completely cover all motion detectors and
smoke/heat detectors. (Don’t forget to uncover the smoke detectors and
motion detectors when you are finished.) Excessive smoke from cooking
or the fireplace can also cause a false fire alarm.
• If you know the motion detector is the cause of your false alarms, you
may turn the system on with the motion detector off.To do this, follow the
steps described on page 11 of this manual. Promptly notify Brink’s
Customer Service for further assistance.
• If you get an indoor pet after the alarm system is installed, you should
contactBrink’sCustomerService.Aservice callmayneedtobe scheduled
to adjust the motion detector.
• The motion detector can detect movement of balloons, plants, curtains
and other decorations. Be sure air currents do not cause movement of
these items in the area covered by a motion detector.

1. One Master Control Panel - This device
processes information sent to it by all the other
components of the system. When an alarm is

3. Two Door/Window Sensors - These sensors
are placed in or on the frame and body of each
door or window to be protected. If the protected
door or window is opened while the system is on,

Operating the Brink’s System
NORMAL OPERATION MODE
When the system is turned on, all interior and exterior intrusion sensors
are turned on; allowing time to enter and exit designated doors.
Designated Entry/Exit Doors
Designated entry/exit doors should be only those doors you use most
frequently to enter and exit your home.
Upon entering a designated entry/exit door, the system will sound a tone
from the keypad as a reminder to turn the system OFF. A standard delay
period of 40 seconds allows time to enter a valid user code. If you do not
turn the system off during this delay period, the siren will sound and an
alarm signal will be sent to the Brink’s Monitoring Center. If this happens,
enter your user code, then press CANCEL to silence the siren and cancel
the alarm signal.
When turning the system ON, the system allows a standard delay period of
80 seconds to exit and close a designated door. If you exit and securely
close your door within this delay period, the system will not sound the siren
or send an alarm signal to the Brink’s Monitoring Center. When ON, the
system is ready to detect intrusion in all protected areas.
Turning the System ON

that the green ready light is on. (If NOT see page 9.)
2. Press ON.

to flash, showing the system is ON and the delay period to exit has
begun.

second delay period has expired.If you open a door now, the alarm will
trip.Turn the system off with your user code and start over.)
