Product Information
Full details
The Digiteck Panic Button is designed for homeowners and facility managers seeking a reliable, hardwired emergency signaling solution to integrate with existing intruder alarm systems. Its primary benefit is the instantaneous, tactile response provided by the single push mechanism, ensuring critical alerts are sent the moment an emergency arises. A notable caveat is that this device requires professional installation and hardwired integration, making it unsuitable for DIY users who lack experience with low-voltage alarm wiring.

FAQs
Does this panic button require a battery?
No, this is a hardwired device and draws power (if required by the circuit) directly from the security control panel.
Is this a latching panic button?
No, this is a non-latching model, meaning the circuit resets immediately after the pressure is released from the button.
Can I use this with a wireless alarm system?
This model is intended for wired intruder alarm systems. It is not directly compatible with wireless systems unless you use a universal wired-to-wireless transmitter module.
Where should I mount the panic button?
It is best mounted in a discreet but accessible location, such as under a desk or behind a door frame, depending on your safety requirements.
What does Grade 1 signify?
Grade 1 typically refers to the security classification, indicating the device is designed for low-risk environments or basic residential/commercial monitoring.
Troubleshooting
Alarm panel does not trigger when button is pushed.
Verify wiring polarity at the panel and check if the zone requires a specific resistor value for EOL (End of Line) monitoring.
Intermittent false alarms.
Inspect the wiring connections for loose terminals or frayed insulation that may be shorting the circuit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires basic knowledge of alarm wiring. Connect the two leads of the panic button into the designated 'Panic' or 'Emergency' zone loop on your security control panel. Always test the zone connectivity using a multimeter to ensure the circuit behaves correctly when the button is pressed. For ongoing care, periodically test the device during your regular alarm maintenance cycle by putting the system into 'Test Mode' at your monitoring station and depressing the button to verify the signal is received correctly. Keep the contact points clean and free of debris during any service checks.
