Congratulations on the installation of your new security system. No other investment can provide such peace of mind. Welcome
to the DS7400Xi intrusion/fire control system. Since each installation is unique, yours will contain some, but not necessarily all of
the features mentioned in this guide.
A security system usually consists of:
• A Control Panel: The control panel is the center of your intrusion/fire alarm system. It supports such vital functions
as receiving trouble and alarm signals from detectors, the sounding of bells and/or sirens, and
communicating with your alarm monitoring company.
• Command Control Stations (Keypads): The keypad is where you interact with the system. The keypad displays
critical information concerning the operation of your alarm system, plus it allows you to initiate
commands such as arming and disarming.
• Protected Zones: Your security system may contain protected windows and doors (perimeter zones), plus various
internal sensors. Your control panel separates perimeter zones from interior protection zones.
Specific protection devices may include:
• Glass Breakage sensors: Devices that detect the sound of breaking glass.
• Interior Motion sensors: Electronic sensors (i.e. passive infrared) that detect
movement within an interior zone.
• Magnetic Contacts: Switches used to detect the opening of doors or windows.
• Smoke Detectors: Devices that detect products of combustion.
This system includes a telephone line seizure feature. The system may be programmed to communicate with a central
monitoring station to report system events. You will not be able to use your phone while the system is communicating with
the central monitoring station. In the unlikely event that the central station is not able to receive the report, your phone may
be unavailable for up to 20 minutes while the panel makes additional communication attempts.
