Duress Code Feature
Genesis has an option to alert your monitoring centre if you have been forced to disarm
your alarm system under duress. ie. An intruder has threatened you, and is entering the
premises with you under force.
In order to activate the Duress Code, it is simply a matter of incrementing your last digit
PIN number by one (1) digit.
ie. If your PIN number is 1234, your duress code would be 1235
The duress code will perform all normal system functions, including arming, disarming and
entering menus, however it will send a Duress signal to your monitoring centre.
