6\VWHP 2YHUYLHZ ,QWURGXFWLRQ Congratulations on your ownership of a First Alert Professional Security System. You've made a wise decision in choosing it, for it represents the latest in security protection technology today.
\VWHP 2YHUYLHZ &RQWLQXHG Zones and Partitions • The system sensing devices have been assigned to various “zones,” which are specific areas of protection (e.g., front door, kitchen window, etc.). • Zone numbers are displayed at the keypad when an alarm or trouble condition occurs on a sensor. • Partitions (FA168CPS) provide two independent areas of protection, with each partition containing a group of zones that can be armed and disarmed without affecting other zones or users.
6\VWHP 2YHUYLHZ &RQWLQXHG Phone Access • If included, a Phone Module permits you to access the system via a touch-tone phone, either on-premises or by calling-in when away. • You can receive synthesized voice messages over the telephone regarding the status of the security system. • You can arm and disarm the system and perform most function commands remotely via the telephone, with voice confirmation provided after each command.
$ERXW 7KH .H\SDGV *HQHUDO ,QIRUPDWLRQ Your keypads allow you to control all system functions. The keypads feature the following: • A telephone style (digital) keypad • Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) which shows the nature and location of all occurrences • Built-in sounder which will sound during alarms and troubles. The sounder also "beeps" during certain system functions and when depressing any of the keys (to acknowledge the key press). • Backlighting of the LCD display windows.

(QWU\ ([LW 'HOD\V Your system has preset time delays, known as exit delay and entry delay. ([LW 'HOD\ Exit delay gives you time to leave through the designated exit door(s) without setting off an alarm. Exit delay begins immediately after arming your system in any arming mode and Alpha Display keypads display the message “You May Exit Now.” When “You may exit now” disappears, the system is fully armed.
(QWU\ ([LW 'HOD\V &RQWLQXHG ([LW $ODUPV Whenever you arm the system, the exit delay begins. If an entry/exit door or interior zone is faulted within two minutes after the end of the exit delay (e.g., exit door left open), the system sounds an alarm and starts the entry delay timer. If you disarm the system before the entry delay ends, the alarm sound stops and the message "CANCELED ALARM" or "CA" and zone number is displayed on the keypad. No message is sent to the Central Station.
&KHFNLQJ )RU 2SHQ =RQHV 8VLQJ WKH >∗@ .H\ Before arming your system, all protected doors, windows and other protection zones must be closed or bypassed, otherwise the keypad will display a "Not Ready" message. Use the READY key to display all faulted zones, making it easier for you to identify and secure any open zone. 1. Press [∗] (do not enter code first) to display faulted zones. 2. Secure or bypass the zones displayed. 3.
$UPLQJ WKH 6\VWHP 6WD\ 0RGH $UPV 3HULPHWHU 2QO\ (QWU\ 'HOD\ 2Q • Used when you want to arm the system with persons staying inside (or if you have pets that are moving throughout the premises). • The perimeter sensors are armed, but interior sensors are left disarmed. • Exit delay begins (you can leave through the entry/exit door, if desired). • An alarm sounds if any protected window or non-entry/exit door is opened. • You may otherwise move freely within the premises.
$UPLQJ WKH 6\VWHP $UPLQJ &RPPDQGV Before arming, close all perimeter doors and windows and make sure the Ready to Arm message is displayed.
$UPLQJ WKH 6\VWHP 6LQJOH %XWWRQ $UPLQJ The “A”, “B”, “C”, and/or “D” keys on your keypad may have been programmed for single-button arming. Note that while it will not be necessary to use a security code for arming, a security code must always be used to disarm the system. If Single-Button Arming is programmed: • A function key has been assigned to a specific type of arming: STAY mode, Night-STAY mode, AWAY mode, or STEP-ARMING (see Step-Arming paragraph).
8VLQJ WKH .H\VZLWFK 8VLQJ WKH .H\VZLWFK Your system may be equipped with a keyswitch for use when arming and disarming. Red and green lights on the keyswitch plate indicate the status of your system as follows: Green Light: Lights when the system is disarmed and ready to be armed (no open zones). If the system is disarmed and the green light is off, it indicates the system is not ready (one or more zones are open). Red Light: Lights or flashes when system is armed in AWAY or STAY mode.
'LVDUPLQJ DQG 6LOHQFLQJ $ODUPV 8VLQJ WKH >2))@ NH\ The OFF key is used to disarm the system, silence alarm and trouble sounds, and clear alarm memories. IMPORTANT: If you return and the main burglary sounder is on, DO NOT ENTER, but CONTACT THE POLICE from a nearby safe location. If you return after an alarm has occurred and the main sounder has shut itself off, the keypad will beep rapidly upon your entering, indicating that an alarm has occurred during your absence.
%\SDVVLQJ 3URWHFWLRQ =RQHV 8VLQJ WKH %<3$66 .H\ Use this key when you want to arm your system with one or more zones intentionally unprotected. Vent Zones: Your system may have certain windows set as “vent” zones, which are automatically bypassed if left open when arming the system (you do not need to manually bypass them). However, if a vent zone window is closed after arming, it becomes protected and will cause an alarm if opened again while the system is armed.
%\SDVVLQJ 3URWHFWLRQ =RQHV 4XLFN %\SDVV If programmed, "Quick Bypass" allows you to easily bypass all open (faulted) zones without having to enter zone numbers individually. This feature is useful if, for example, you routinely leave certain windows open when arming at night. 1. + 6 + [#] Alpha Display: (Security Code) BYPASS (-7%61)( 46)77 In a few moments, all open zones will be displayed and automatically bypassed.
&KLPH 0RGH CHIME mode alerts you to the opening of a perimeter door or window while the system is disarmed. When Chime mode is activated: • Three tones sound at the keypad whenever a perimeter door or window is opened. • Interior zones do not produce a tone when they are faulted. • Pressing the READY key will display the open protection points. • Chime mode can be used only while the system is disarmed.
