GLOSSARY OF TERMS Abort Delay: An option that allows a delay in reporting to the central station. Authority Level: The level of access an individual has when using an alarm panel. Central Station: Location where alarm data is sent during an alarm report. Chime Feature: An option that allows the keypad to sound a ding-dong whenever an entry/exit door is opened. Codes: Can be either User Codes (relating to a person) or Function Codes (a toggle switch to turn specific functions on/off).
UNDERSTANDING THE LIGHTS Armed Light The armed light is “on” when the system is armed. The armed light is “off” when it is disarmed. The armed light will flash when there has been an alarm during the previous arm cycle. Bypass Light The bypass light is “on” when any zone in this keypad’s partition is bypassed. The zone(s) that is bypassed will also be illuminated. If the bypass light is “off”, no zones are bypassed. Cancel Light The cancel light will flash during an abort delay time.
Ready Light The ready light is “on” when the system is ready to arm and “flashes” if ready to force arm. The ready light is off when the system is not ready to arm because of a zone(s) being faulted. Stay Light The stay light is “on” when the all interior (motion detector) zones are bypassed. Zone Light The zone lights are “off” when everything is normal. A zone light will be “on” if the zone has been bypassed. If a zone light is “flashing”, that zone is in alarm or has been faulted.
KEYPAD FUNCTIONS ARMING YOUR SYSTEM IN THE “AWAY” MODE AWAY is used when the user is away from the premise and wants the interior protected. Listed below are the steps to arm in the AWAY Mode: tep 1 Close all protected doors and windows. • Ready light will be on or flashing when all protected zones and sensors are secure. NOTE: If any zones are bypassed, a sensor in that zone can be violated without affecting the ready light. • The security system will not arm if the ready light is not on or flashing.
Step 3 • Press the [STAY] key. • The stay light will illuminate indicating that all interior zones are bypassed. (All interior devices will bypass automatically, giving the user freedom of movement within the interior area.) • The bypass light will illuminate if any zone(s) are bypassed. If any zone(s) have been bypassed previously by the user, the light(s) corresponding to the bypassed zone(s) will illuminate, alerting the user that a zone(s) may be unprotected and can be faulted without an alarm.
CANCEL / ABORT FEATURE (Optional, see page 1) The cancel light will flash during an abort delay time. If a code is entered followed by the [CANCEL] key while this light is flashing, all abortable reports will stop the communication process. Entering a code followed by the [CANCEL] key during or after an alarm report to the central station will cause the cancel light to come on. It will stay on until the central station has received the cancel report.

NOTE: For partitioned systems, someone changing the code of another person must have access to all or more partitions than the user being changed. Step 4 The ready light will flash. Step 5 Enter the 3-digit “user number”. You must always enter 3 digits, such as [0] - [0] - [3] for user 3, or [1] - [5] - [2] for user 152.

EMERGENCY EVACUATION PLANS An emergency evacuation plan should be established for an actual fire alarm condition. For example, the following steps are recommended by the National Fire Protection Association and can be used as a guide in establishing an evacuation plan for your building. Draw up a floor plan of your home. Show windows, doors, stairs, and rooftops that can be used for escape. Indicate each occupant's escape routes. Always keep these routes free from obstruction.
