Getting to Know Your Security System This security system is designed to protect your family and property, whether you are on the premises or away. This manual describes how to operate your system. It describes basic arming and disarming commands as well programming instructions for system features. The dealer or installer may have already discussed with you many details concerning your system. Specific setup information is included in the “Appendix A: User Sheets”.
Environmental Sensors Environmental sensors such as smoke and heat detectors remain alert for the presence of fire or carbon monoxide 24 hours a day. Phone Interface and Voice Module Your system may contain a Phone Interface and Voice Module that allows you to use a Touchtone phone located on- or off-site as a touchpad. The module also makes it possible to get voice feedback from speakers, guiding and informing with spoken prompts and system status reports.
Touchpads—Your System Interface There is a broad range of touchpads that can be used with your panel—from a single-button panic sensor which sends only panic alarms, to an alphanumeric touchpad that displays text and allows extensive user programming (see Figure 3).
• Exit Delay beeps indicate that an arming command has been entered and the countdown to arming has begun. • Entry Delay beeps indicate that you’ve entered the building and the countdown to an alarm has begun. (So disarm the system as soon as you get in!) • Chime feature beeps tell you that a door was opened or closed. • Protest beeps inform you that you’re trying to arm the system while there is an open door or window.
Resetting Smoke Detectors Most wireless smoke detectors used with this system automatically reset themselves, after detecting smoke. Most hardwired smoke detectors must be manually reset after detecting smoke, before they are able to detect smoke again. Check with your installer for smoke detector reset procedures for your system To reset wireless smoke detectors: 1. Disarm the system. The smoke detector will reset once all the smoke has cleared.
Basic System Operations • Always enter and exit within the programmed delay times. • Make sure you leave through a door that has a delay time set for it. • Disarm your system immediately upon returning home. • Be aware of the devices in your security system and learn how each one operates. • If you have pets, ask your installer if you need pet lenses in your motion detectors. • Check the location of your smoke detectors.
• Before opening a door or window while inside or outside the home or business. When you wake up in the morning and want to get your newspaper, you must disarm the system before opening the door to prevent an accidental alarm. • To stop sirens and cancel an alarm. When an alarm condition occurs disarming the system turns off any sirens. To disarm to Level 1—OFF using a touchpad: 1. Press 1. Touchpads display “ENTER CODE.” 2. Enter your Access Code.
Quick Exit Note In UL Listed systems, this feature is disabled. Your system may be set up so that when your system is armed to Level 2—STAY, you’re able to press D on any touchpad and simply walk out the door without having to disarm and rearm the system. This is useful when your system is armed and you want to quickly pop outside to pick up the newspaper without disarming your system.

You are returning to your house that is armed to Level 3—AWAY.
• When you’re arming your house from the outside. (You must have a wireless touchpad in order to do this.) Arming to Level 2 or 3 with No Delay, using a touchpad: 1. Close all perimeter doors and windows. 2. Enter 2 + CODE or 3 + CODE. The system sounds two or three short beeps. Note If Quick Arm feature is on, an access code is not required. See the “Quick Arm” section in this manual. 3. Immediately after hearing the beeps, press 4 for No Delay.
1. Repeat the above procedure substituting the bypassed sensor number or, 2. Close bypassed doors and/or windows and arm your system again. Bypassing a Sensor Indirectly Use this method if you are arming the system and would like to bypass doors and windows already open. To bypass sensors indirectly: 1. Leave open only those doors and windows that are to remain open. Close all others. 2. Arm your system to the desired level.
1. From any touchpad press 7 + 7 + output number. If the output was already activated, it will shut off. If the output was off, it will activate. Checking the Status of Your System Checking the system status means finding out about the current condition of your system.
Fire Panic Alarm The Fire panic alarm sounds from all interior and exterior sirens. On monitored systems, the central monitoring station responds by calling the fire department. To activate a Fire panic alarm from a touchpad: 1. Press and hold both Fire button(s) for 2 seconds. Lighting During a Fire Panic Alarm If your system is equipped with system lighting, all system lights will turn on and remain on during a Fire panic alarm.
Regular user codes can be changed in User Programming and are easily deleted from the system when no longer necessary. Programming Access Codes The code you use to enter User Programming determines which features such as codes and code attributes you’ll be able to change. A user code can be given certain attributes which limit what the user can do within the system. Attributes may be changed by you, or by a dealer over the phone using downloading software.
Note Erasing a User Code The system will not accept the same code for two different users. When a code is deleted from the system, that code no longer acts as a key for operating the system in any manner. To erase a user code: 1. Enter the programming menus by pressing 9 + System or Partition Master CODE. 2. Press 030 nnn 0 where nnn is user 000 through 229. 3. Enter the System or Partition Master CODE, then #. 4. Press * + 00 + # to exit the programming menus.
Assigning the System Test Attribute System Test is a user code attribute that allows the user to perform system tests. If the user code does not have this attribute turned on, the user will not be able to perform phone or sensor tests. To assign System Testing to a user: 1. Enter the programming menus by pressing 9 + System or Partition Master CODE. 2. Press 030 nnn 4 where nnn is user 000 through 229. 3. To turn System Testing: on, press 2 + #. off, press 1 + #. 4.
For example, if the current date is January 15, 2000, press 011500 + #. 4. Press * + 00 + # to exit the programming menus. Adjusting System Sounds and Touchpad Brightness Arming Your System Silently Use the Silent Arming feature to arm your system without disturbing people throughout the house with arming status beeps. There are two methods for implementing Silent Arming: • Silent on Demand. (User presses 5 before arming.) • Arming Always Silent (Silent Arming feature on).
Adjusting the Touchpad Display Brightness You may want to change the brightness of a touchpad display based on its location in a building or room. For example, dim the touchpad display in a bedroom or enhance a display near a window. Changing the touchpad display affects only the touchpad currently being used. To change touchpad display brightness: 1. Enter the programming menus by pressing 9 + System or Partition Master CODE. 2. Press 042. 3.
In addition to controlling temperature, the Energy Saver feature notifies the central monitoring station if your heating or air conditioning unit fails—before pipes freeze or pets are harmed by extreme heat or cold. Setting the Energy Saver High and Low Temperature Settings Initially, you must set the energy saver to the desired high and low temperatures. This is done only once, unless you want to change temperature settings.
Touchpad Tamper Bus Failures • Opening and Closing Reports • Latchkey Reports • Notify by Exception Reports Pager Messages When an event is reported on a numeric pager, the following information is included: Event Code Last four digits of central station account number Sensor number or user number Figure 8. Pager Messages Although all three types of information can be reported on your pager, your pager service determines how the information will actually appear.
Code Indicates 851 Keyswitch sensor used 852 System armed itself because it is being serviced or powered-up Account Number in Page This part of the page let’s you know where (which partition) the event is occurring. Code XXXX Indicates 4-digits of account number Streamlining the Page Report You can choose to have the four account number digits reported with every page, or to exclude them.
One Day Rollover You can create a schedule that begins on one day, and stops the next day by using only one time schedule. (The stop time must be within 24 hours of the start time.) Example 1 of One Day Rollover At home you’d like the Latchkey Opening feature to be effective from 10 p.m. on Tuesday until 5 a.m. on Wednesday (see Figure 10 Example 1). By taking advantage of One Day Rollover, one time schedule can cover both days. (That schedule is illustrated in Figure 10.

For Latchkey Closing Reports, the page reports the arming level as 222 (2—STAY) or 333 (3— AWAY), and the user that armed to that level. See “Notification By Pager”. Latchkey Opening The installer can set up Latchkey Opening for one of two types of use: Basic and Advanced.
“LATCH OPEN.” Or, press B until the touchpad displays “LATCHKEY CLOSING” or “LATCH CLOSE,” then press #. If you want a page to be sent every time Latchkey-designated users codes arm or disarm the system, apply the same time schedules under Latchkey Opening and Latchkey Closing. 4. The touchpad displays the first available time schedule. 5. Enter 2 + # to assign the time schedule to the event. 1 + # to make the time schedule inactive for the event. 6. Press # to secure your choice. 7.
What Will the Pager Report? Exception Opening Reports report the arming level as 111 (1—OFF) and the user that disarmed the system. Exception Closing Reports report the arming level as 222 (2—STAY) or 333 (3—AWAY), and the user that armed to that level. See “Notification By Pager”. When Will this Feature Be Active? The most typical setup of this feature makes use of both Exception Opening and Exception Closing. (It is possible to use only Exception Opening or only Exception Closing, however.
