IMPORTANT NOTICE A security system cannot prevent emergencies. It is only intended to alert you and – if included – your central station of an emergency situation. Security systems are generally very reliable but they may not work under all conditions and they are not a substitute for prudent security practices or life and property insurance.
Disarming Error If your code is invalid, the system will not disarm and a 2-second error tone will sound. If this happens, press and try again. Stay Arming (Partially Turning On / Part Setting) Ask your alarm company if this function is available on your system. Stay arming will bypass the interior protection (i.e. motion sensors) and arm the perimeter of the system (i.e. doors and windows). Close all sensors (i.e. stop motion and close doors). The Ready ( ) indicator should be on.
Intrusion (Burglary) Alarm Continuous Siren If you are unsure of the source of the alarm approach with caution! If the alarm was acciden- tal, enter your Access Code to silence the alarm. Call your central station to avoid a dispatch. Fire Alarm Pulsed Siren Follow your emergency evacuation plan immediately! If the fire alarm was accidental (i.e. burned toast, bathroom steam, etc.), enter your Access Code to silence the alarm. Call your central station to avoid a dispatch.
that the zone is bypassed. If a zone is open (e.g., door with door contact is open), the keypad will display “Zone Search < > “Zone Name” O”. If you bypass the open zone, a “B” will replace the “O”. 4. To unbypass a zone, enter the two-digit number of the zone(s) to be bypassed (01-64). You can also use the keys to find the zone, and then press to select the zone. The “B” will disappear from the display to show that the zone is no longer bypassed. 5.
Trouble Conditions When a trouble condition is detected, the Trouble ( ) or System indicator will turn on, and the keypad will beep every 10 seconds. Press the key to silence the beeps. Press to view the trouble condition. The Trouble ( ) or System indicator will flash. The corresponding trouble will be represented by numbers 1-8.
Enter the 2-digit number to be programmed (i.e. 06 for user access code 6; enter 40 for the Master Access Code). When using the PK5500/RFK5500, use the keys to find the specific code and press to select. Enter the new 4 or 6-digit access code, or press to erase it. When programming is complete, enter another 2-digit code to program or press to exit. For systems using multiple partitions/areas, access codes can be assigned to specific or multiple partitions/areas.
NOTE: The Master Code cannot use the Bell Squawk attribute, but is required to enable it for other codes. NOTE: This feature cannot prevent the Arm/Disarming squawks from being generated if an access code assigned to a WLS Key is manually entered at a keypad. Partition Assignment Mask In order to accommodate Access Code Partition Assignment for the multiple partitions found on this product the user must enter [ ][5][Master Code][98][Code number to be change] (ex. [ ][5][1234][98][Code 03].
Auto-arming can be cancelled or postponed by entering a valid access code only, during the programmed warning period. Auto-arming will be attempted at the same time the next day. When the auto-arming process is cancelled or postponed, the Auto-arm Cancellation Reporting Code will be transmitted (if programmed). If arming is inhibited by one of the following, the Auto-arm Cancellation transmission will be communicated.

The following will occur: - The system activates all keypad sounders and bells or sirens for 2 seconds. All keypad lights turn ON.
Guidelines for Locating Smoke Detectors and CO Detectors The following information is for general guidance only and it is recommended that local fire codes and regulations be consulted when locating and installing smoke and CO alarms. Smoke Detectors Research has shown that all hostile fires in homes generate smoke to a greater or lesser extent. Experiments with typical fires in homes indicate that detectable quantities of smoke precede detectable levels of heat in most cases.
Carbon Monoxide Detectors Carbon monoxide is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and very toxic, it also moves freely in the air. CO detectors can measure the concentration and sound a loud alarm before a potentially harmful level is reached. The human body is most vulnerable to the effects of CO gas during sleeping hours; therefore, CO detectors should be located in or as near as possible to sleeping areas of the home.
• Write the fire escape plan down and rehearse it frequently so that should an emergency arise, everyone will know what to do. Revise the plan as conditions change, such as the number of people in the home, or if there are changes to the building’s construction. • Make sure your fire warning system is operational by conducting weekly tests. If you are unsure about system operation, contact your installer.
