1. About Your Security System
Read this manual carefully and have your installer instruct you on your system's operation and on
which features have been implemented in your system. All users of this system should be fully
instructed in its use. Fill out the “System Information” page with all of your zone information and
access codes, and store this manual in a safe place for future reference.
NOTE: Please consult your installer for further information regarding the false alarm reduction
features built into your system, as not all are covered in this manual.
1.1 Fire Detection (must be enabled by Installer)
This equipment is capable of monitoring fire detection devices such as smoke detectors and provid-
ing a warning if a fire condition is detected. Good fire detection depends on having an adequate
number of detectors placed in appropriate locations. This equipment should be installed in accor-
dance with NFPA 72 (N.F.P.A., Batterymarch Park, Quincy MA 02269). Please read the Family Escape
Planning guidelines in this manual.
1.2 Carbon Monoxide Detection (must be enabled by Installer)
This equipment is capable of monitoring carbon monoxide detectors and providing a warning if car-
bon monoxide is detected. Please read the Family Escape Planning guidelines in this manual and
instructions that are available with the carbon monoxide detector.
1.3 Testing
To ensure that your system continues to function as intended, you must test your system weekly.
Please refer to the “Testing your System” section in this manual. If your system does not function
properly, call your installing company for service.
1.4 Monitoring
This system is capable of transmitting alarms, troubles, and emergency information to a central sta-
tion. If you initiate an alarm by mistake, immediately call the central station to prevent an unneces-
sary response.
NOTE: The monitoring function must be enabled by the installer before it can become functional.
NOTE: Consult with your installer to determine if your system is configured with a communicator
delay. A communicator delay will prevent a report to the central station if the control panel is
disarmed within 30-45 seconds after an intrusion alarm is triggered. Note that fire-type alarms are
normally reported without a delay.
NOTE: Ensure that your installer verifies that your system is compatible with the Central Station
Receiver format at yearly intervals.
1.5 Maintenance
With normal use, the system requires minimum maintenance. Note the following points:
• Do not wash the security equipment with a wet cloth. Light dusting with a slightly moistened cloth
should remove normal accumulations of dust.
• Replace the standby battery every 3-5 years.
NOTE: Do not attempt to replace the battery or open the enclosure; there is a risk of electric shock
and/or fire.
• For other system devices such as smoke detectors, motion detectors, glassbreak detectors or door/
window contacts, consult the manufacturer’s literature for testing and maintenance instructions.
1.6 General System Operation
Your security system comprises an integrated alarm control/keypad and various sensors and detec-
tors. The keypad is mounted by the main entry/exit location. The system is self-contained; electronics
and standby battery are housed within the keypad unit.
NOTE: Only the installer or service professional should have access to the system.
The security system has several zones of area protection. Each of these zones communicates to a sin-
gle wireless sensor (motion detectors, glassbreak detectors, door contacts, etc.) or to one or more
hard-wired sensors. A sensor in alarm is indicated by messages on the LCD.
Additional features include Automatic Inhibit (Swinger Shutdown) for Alarm; Tamper and Trouble
signals after 3 occurrences in a given set period; SMS interactive operation (SMS features not inves-
tigated by UL/ULC); and a Programmable Keypad Lockout option.
For SIA CP-01 classified installations, the swinger shutdown feature is programmed such that one or
two trips will shut down the zone. The zone will be restored after a manual reset (by entering the
access code at the time of disarming the alarm system) or it will be reset automatically after 48 hours
with no trips on any zones.
