About This User’s Guide This user’s guide shows you how to use and maintain your security system. It covers basic system functions, such as turning the system on and off. The functions described in this guide are programmed by your security company. Some of them may not be included in your system. Some of the functions covered may require you to enter your personal passcode. Introduction Your system helps to secure life, property, and investments against fire, theft, and bodily harm.
Security System Basics What is a Point? A “point” is a detection device, or group of devices connected to your security system. The keypad shows point status through the lights numbered 1 to 8 on the keypad display. Each point can represent a single door, window, motion sensor, smoke detector, or other detection device. What is a “Faulted” Point? When a point (such as a door or window) is closed, it is said to be “normal.” When the door or window is open, the point is said to be “faulted,” or not normal.
Controlled Points Controlled points respond to alarm conditions depending upon whether the system is turned on or turned off. They are programmed to either respond instantly to alarm conditions or to provide a delay for you to reach the keypad and turn the system off. Various controlled points may be located throughout your house. When you turn your system on, you can turn on all controlled points (All On) or just some of the controlled points (Part On).
24-Hour Points 24-hour points are always on, even when the system is turned off. There are two types of 24-hour points: Fire and Non-Fire points. Fire Points Fire points only monitor fire detection devices, such as smoke detectors. They are always on and cannot be turned off. Non-Fire 24-Hour Points Non-fire points are always on and cannot be turned off. Keypad Keys Your keypad has fifteen keys. These keys perform various functions, as described below.
Keypad Lights The keypad uses lights to indicate various conditions, such as whether your system is on or off, the status of protective points, whether there is a system trouble, and whether there is an alarm. Light Function On Lights when the system is All or Part On. Flashes during exit delay and when an alarm occurs No Delay Lights when the system is All or Part On without entry or exit delay. Flashes during Step Outside function. 1 to 8 Point lights show the status of each point.
Keypad Tones Your keypad emits several distinct tones and flashes keypad lights to alert you to system events. Additional bells or sirens may also be connected to your system. Bells or sirens mounted on the exterior of your premises alert neighbors to emergencies and provide an audible guide for police and fire fighters. 8 1. Fire Alarm Tone: When a fire point activates, the keypad repeatedly emits a warble tone that is on for 1 sec., then briefly off. 2.
System Events Your system responds to four types of events. If more than one event occurs, your system sorts them into one of four groups. The groups (highest priority first) are: Fire Alarms, Burglary Alarms, Fire Troubles, and Non-Fire Troubles. Fire Alarms Fire alarms are the highest priority events. When a fire point activates, your keypad repeatedly emits a warble tone that is on for one second, then briefly off. Evacuate all occupants and investigate for smoke or fire.
How Your System Reports Alarms Your security system may be programmed to automatically disconnect your telephones when sending reports to your security company. Once the report is completed, your security system returns the telephones to normal operation (check with your security company). Your system makes repeated attempts to send reports to your security company. In the event your system fails to report, the keypad signals a system trouble. Follow the (Checking System Troubles on page 21) procedure.
Turning the System Off You turn off your security system by entering your personal passcode. When the system is on, you must enter through a designated entry door to prevent an instant alarm condition. Opening a designated door starts entry delay time and the keypad emits a pulsing beep tone to remind you to turn the system off. Enter your passcode before the delay time expires to turn the system off.
Turning the System All On Use this function to turn on the entire system. Once you press the [9] key, exit delay time starts to count down. You should leave before exit delay time expires. Leaving after exit delay expires causes an alarm event. 12 1. Make sure all points are normal (not faulted). Press the [9] key. The display shows: 2. If all points are normal, exit delay time begins. You should leave now. If your system has a faulted point, its point light blinks.
Turning the System All On, with No Delay I have this feature. I do not have this feature. Use this function to turn on the entire system, both All and Part without entry or exit delays. This function is useful when you stay home and you want your system on. 1. Make sure all points are normal. Press the [9] key twice. 2. If all points are normal, the display shows the following for 3 sec. and the keypad beeps three times.
Turning On Part of the System (Part On) I have this feature. I do not have this feature. Part On turns on only a part of your system, leaving the rest of the system turned off. Refer to the Point Identification section of your keypad’s reference card to identify Part points. Once you press the [0] key, exit delay time starts to count down. You should leave before exit delay time expires. Leaving after exit delay expires causes an alarm event. Use Part On when you want part of your system turned on. 14 1.
Turning the System Part On, with No Delay I have this feature. I do not have this feature. Use this function to turn on Part of the system without entry or exit delays. 1. Make sure all points are normal. With your system’s display showing, press the [0] key twice. 2. If all points are normal, the display shows the following for 3 sec. and the keypad beeps three times. If your system has faulted points, you should return them to normal, or refer to Bypassing Points (on page 16). 3. After 3 sec.
Turning the System On, with Points Open (Bypassing Points) I have this feature. I do not have this feature. Use this feature to selectively exclude points you do not wish to turn on with the rest of the system. For example, you may wish to bypass the patio door while turning on the remainder of the system. 16 1. Press the [9] or [0] key to turn the system All or Part On. 2. If a point is faulted, the error tone sounds and the point light for the faulted point blinks.
Viewing Alarm Memory After an alarm has been silenced and cleared from the display, you can still review the points that were in alarm. 1. Ensure the system is turned off (On light is off). If there was an alarm, and the system dialed your alarm company, the OK light flashes. If you cancelled the alarm by turning the system off before it dialed your alarm company, the OK light will not flash. 2. Press the [4] key. The following display shows that there are alarms in memory: 3.
Resetting the System Use this feature to reset the system (including fire points) after an alarm and to clear alarm memory. Resetting the system takes about 20 seconds. The All, Part, and point lights go out during reset. If points do not reset, the OK light continues to blink. Call your alarm company for help. 18 1. Ensure your system is off (On light is off). 2. Press the [3] key and enter your passcode to begin the reset. Resetting takes approximately 20 seconds.
Selecting Watch Tone Your system gives you the ability to watch points when it’s turned off, meaning that it can be programmed to alert you to opened doors and windows. For example, parents with small children may want a tone to be sounded whenever a door or window is opened as a way of monitoring the whereabouts of the kids. Use this feature to set the type of response your system produces when a watch point is faulted.
Selecting Watch Points Once you decide how your system responds to watched points (see Selecting Watch Tone on page 19), you need to decide which points in your system are to be watched. Use this feature to tell your system which points to watch. You cannot watch fire points. Choosing which points to watch depends upon your goals. If you have small children, you may choose to watch points of entry and exit. Each time a watch point is faulted (door or window is opened) the keypad responds as programmed.
Checking System Troubles Your system emits a trouble tone and blinks the OK light to alert you to system trouble events, such as low batteries. Use this feature to learn what is causing the trouble and what steps to take to correct it. 1. Make sure your system is off (On light is off). If there is a system trouble, the Trouble tone sounds and the OK light blinks. 2. Press the [4] key. Lights 1 through 6 may turn on, depending on the nature of the trouble.
Changing Passcodes I have this feature. I do not have this feature. This feature lets you change your personal passcode at any time, without assistance from your alarm company. It is recommended that you write down your old passcode and the new one before you begin. 22 1. Make sure your system is off (On light is off). 2. Press the [5] key. The OK tone sounds and the display changes to: 3. Enter your current passcode. The Part light begins to flash and the display shows your user number.
Step Outside I have this feature. I do not have this feature. Use the Step Outside feature to temporarily turn off protection to an entrance door (or doors) when your system is On with No Delay. You can exit and reenter without turning your system off. Use this feature to pick up the newspaper or to take the dog out. Once you come back inside, simply press the [CLEAR] key to reactivate protection to the door. 1. The system must be all or part on with no delay. 2. Press the [CLEAR] key.
Exit Only I have this feature. I do not have this feature. The Exit Only feature allows you to exit the premises when the system is On with No Delay. After exit delay expires, the door is returned to the system so that opening the door causes an alarm. You may, for example, use the Exit Only feature when you are going out but your family is staying home, saving you the trouble of having to turn the system off and then on again. 24 1. The system must be all or part on with no delay. 2.
Silencing the Trouble Tone The trouble tone sounds and the OK light blinks when there is system trouble, such as low batteries cause system troubles. 1. When there is system trouble, the trouble tone sounds and the OK light blinks. 2. Press the [CLEAR] key to silence the trouble tone. 3. Use Checking System Troubles (press [4]) to discover the origin of the system trouble.
Show Passcode Types I have this feature. I do not have this feature. This feature requires a passcode. Use this feature to find out which passcode type is currently assigned to each of the users of your system. Passcode types are shown on lights 1 through 8. User one is light 1 and so on. See Change Passcode Type, on page 27, for a description of passcode types. 1. Make sure that the system is turned off. 2. Press the [6] key.
Change Passcode Type I have this feature. I do not have this feature. This feature allows those with Owner type passcodes to change the passcode type for each of the users in the system. You cannot change your own passcode type. Passcodes can be one of three types: Owner, User, or One-Time. • Owner: Re-configure how the system responds to “watched” points. In addition, the Owner passcode can be used to change other users’ type and passcodes.
Change Other Users’ Passcodes I have this feature. I do not have this feature. This feature allows those with Owner type passcodes to change the passcodes of system users. 1. Press key [6] to enter Show User Mode. 2. Enter your passcode. (Owner type required.) 3. Press [0]. The Part light begins flashing. You are now in Owner Passcode Change Mode. 4. Enter the number of the passcode you want to change (1 through 8). 5. Enter a new passcode with the same number of digits as your passcode.
System Test I have this feature. I do not have this feature. This feature helps to ensure that your system is operating properly. Be sure to contact your security company before you begin. 1. Make sure the system is turned off. 2. Press the [1] key and enter your passcode (Owner type required). 3. If your passcode is valid, the system test begins. 4. When the test finishes, the system returns to the off display.
Security System Limitations Not even the most advanced security system can guarantee protection against burglary, fire, or environmental threats. All security systems are subject to possible compromise or failure-to-warn for a variety of reasons including, but not limited to, the following: • If sirens or horns are placed outside the hearing range of people in remote areas of the building or in areas which are frequently closed off, they do not provide the intended protection.
Fire Safety and Evacuation Residential fire is a leading cause of accidental death. Most fire related deaths occur at night when occupants suffocate in their sleep from smoke and toxic gases, rather than from burns. To help reduce this risk, implement the following program: 1. Minimize fire hazards. Smoking in bed, cleaning with flammable liquids such as gasoline, leaving children home alone, and using unsafe holiday decorations are some of the common causes of household fire. 2.
Security System Glossary All On - Turns on all of the points in the system. Burglary Alarm Tone - Constant warble tone. Bypass - Selectively removes points from the security system temporarily. Central Station - Facility where trained personnel monitor your security system 24 hours a day. Your security system may be programmed to contact the central station during alarm conditions, enabling central station personnel to dispatch the proper authorities.
Maintenance and Service This security system requires very little maintenance: however, you should test the system weekly to ensure it works properly. A test schedule and maintenance program can be arranged. If you notice a change in operation during normal use or testing, call for service as soon as possible. Do not attempt to repair the control panel, keypads, or detectors yourself.
