Some, but not all systems, may allow for timely disarming of the system before the AHJ is dispatched, and if the case, the alarm panel will send a "cancel" signal after the alarm was triggered.

YOU acknowledge that whether or not a dispatch may be cancelled is at the sole discretion of the AHJ and agree not to hold Company responsible in any way for such dispatch and any consequences from the dispatch. The central station will comply with applicable ordinances that may differ from provision of the "verified response" described above only if provided in writing to Company by YOU.
