Concord Most Frequently Asked Questions
How can I turn the chime sound on or off?

To power on the chime sound or silence it, you’ll use the same command:

Enter the correct month (01-12), day (01-31), and year (00-99) For example, enter 011518 for Jan 15, 2018. Press # and the display will show the new date. Once you have done this, press * and push up twice and it will ask if you want to exit programming. Press # to get out of programming.
How can I send a police alarm?
In case of an emergency:
- Press and hold the police buttons on your control panel for 2 seconds.
If I need to cancel a Police alarm, how can I?
If by chance you accidentally triggered a police alarm, you can cancel it:
- Press “1” and then enter your access code.
How do I alarm my system in “Stay” mode?
When you’re at home and you’d like to arm the perimeter doors and windows only and not arm the interior devices:
- Press “2” and then enter your access code.
If the Quick Arm feature is enabled, you don’t need to enter your access code. Simply press “2” on the keypad.
How do I alarm my system in “Away” mode?
When you’re leaving your residence and would like arm the perimeter doors, windows, and interior devices:
- Press “3” and enter your access code.
If the Quick Arm feature is enabled, you don’t need to enter your access code. Simply press “3” on the keypad.
I’m having trouble alarming “Away” mode. It keeps saying “invalid.” What should I do?
If you aren’t able to alarm “Away” mode, it may be because your delay door (a designated door/sensor that allows you to exit the residence after alarming your system for “Away” mode.)
Close the delay door and arm the system to “Away” mode.
Why would I want to check the status of my system?
It’s important to regularly check the status of your system. You can make sure that your sensors aren’t open or bypassed without your knowledge (open doors/windows), that your power and backup battery are in good condition, and to view the nature of your most recent alarm.
When should I check the status of my system?
You should check the status of your system if:
- The system is making 5 short beeping sounds every minute.
- Your touch pad is showing “ALARM,” “Police,” “Auxiliary,” or “Fire.”
- Your touch pad currently displays the text: “Press Status.”
How can I check the status of my system?
Checking the status of your system is simple! To do a long, full system check:
- Press the “*” button twice.
Your touch pad and voice module, if you have it, will display and announce the status of your system.
What should I do if my battery needs to be replaced?
Over time, your battery may lose charge and may need to be replaced. If that’s the case, you can buy one here or call us. We’ll help get you a new battery so you can continue to protect your home and the ones you love!

How can I turn all my sensor lights on or off around the house?
To turn off the lights that you have controlled by your system:
- Press “0” two times.
What does “AC Power Failure” mean and how can I troubleshoot it?
If your GE Interlogix Concord Panel LED displays “AC Power Failure” or your voice feedback indicates the same issue, your panel power transformer may be currently unplugged or there may be a power outage.
If your transformer is in fact plugged in, you may want to check the circuit breaker that governs your control panel’s power.
My LED display is showing “Sensor XX Tamper.” What does that mean?
This means that the cover on your sensor is either open or completely off. You’ll want to make sure the cover is back on the sensor and then trip the sensor. This will clear the the current “Sensor XX Tamper” condition off your LED display.

Posted at 18:30h, 21 NovemberI have a basic concord 4 series system. I would like to be able to arm and disarm with a key chain type remote controller. Do I need to add any thing to my system and can you identify any particular remotes for me. I would also like to speaker that would let me hear the status of the system.
Any help will be appreciated.

Posted at 16:43h, 29 NovemberYes you can add a keychain remote to your system to be able to arm it that way. https://zionssecurity.com/product-category/ge-interlogix/. I do not believe the concord has a voice keypad at this time but I can check on that for you.

Posted at 23:02h, 30 NovemberI do not have the installation or dealer codes. I do have the system master code is this sufficient to install the wireless key chain controllers? The installed key pad is alpha/numeric. If this is sufficient , please detail the procedure or reference a document. I also need the same info regarding the installation of a 319.5 rf door sensor. A window was replaced with a door and the contractor cut and sealed the wiring in to the wall, , now I’m replacing it with a 319.5 crystal door sensor.

Posted at 05:08h, 12 JuneMy system says that service is required. When I press *2, it says ‘control phone trouble’.
I am not currently connected to a service and haven’t had a home phone for several years.
When I set the alarm it starts to beep until I press the code again, then it is set.
Can I clear this code

Posted at 16:15h, 25 JuneThe way to clear that trouble is to either get a landline phone or to change the settings in programming so that it is not looking for the phone line anymore. Changing the programming is the most likely way to solve your issue. You could have a technician do this for you or have us try to help you do it over the phone.

Posted at 14:53h, 27 DecemberWhy is it beeping is the question? Low battery? loss of communication? could be several things. We resolve that and it will not beep anymore.
