What does "Secure" mean?

• A. Disable permanently
• B. Silence all alarms
• C. Lock the keypad
• D. Re-activate an alarm, Alarm point will annunciate

Answer: (B)

In alarm system terms, secure means quieting the system so alarms stop sounding and the audible/visual indications are silenced, while the protection and monitoring remain in place. Silencing all alarms is the action that matches this idea, because it reduces disturbance and allows responders to assess the situation without the noise of alarms ongoing. The other ideas don’t fit as well: disabling permanently would remove protection, locking the keypad changes how you interact with the system rather than quieting it, and re-activating an alarm with annunciation would trigger alarms again rather than silence them.
