System Overview General Information Congratulations on your ownership of a security system. You've made a wise decision in choosing this system because it represents the latest in security protection technology available today. Your system offers you three forms of protection: burglary, fire, and emergency, and consists of at least one keypad, which provides control of system operation.
System Overview (cont'd) The following table lists the three different arming modes and the features of each.
System Overview (cont'd) Paging Feature If the paging feature has been programmed for your system, up to two pagers will respond to certain conditions as they occur in your system. The pagers will display code numbers indicating the type of condition that has occurred. Refer to the Paging Feature section later in this manual for detailed information Also available is Single-Button Paging on Alpha keypads. The “D” key may be used to signal a Pager.
Entry/Exit Delays General Information This system has preset time delays, known as exit delay and entry delay. Whenever you arm your system, exit delay gives you time to leave through the designated exit door without setting off an alarm. Exit delay This delay begins immediately after entering any arming command, and applies to all modes of arming protection. If it is programmed, a slow beeping will sound throughout the exit delay period; with fast beeps during the last 10 seconds.
Entry/Exit Delays (cont'd) Exit Alarms To minimize false alarms sent to the alarm monitoring company, your system may have been programmed for this feature. Ask your installer if Exit Alarm is active for your system. Exit Alarm Active Whenever you arm the system, the exit delay begins. If an entry/exit door or interior zone is faulted when the exit delay ends (e.g., exit door left open), the system sounds an alarm and starts the entry delay timer.
About the Keypads IMPORTANT If the keypad beeps rapidly when you enter the premises, it means that an alarm has occurred during your absence and an intruder may still be on the premises. See “Important” note on page 19. LEAVE IMMEDIATELY AND CONTACT THE POLICE from a nearby safe location. General Information Your keypads allow you to control all system functions. The keypads feature a telephone-style (digital) keypad and a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) that shows the nature and location of all occurrences.

Functions of the Keypads (cont'd) 5. 4 MAX KEY: Completely arms both perimeter and interior burglary zones for full protection. Entrance to the premises or any movement within the premises will cause an immediate alarm. Use this arming mode with caution. 6. 5 TEST KEY: Used to place the system in the Test mode, which allows testing of the system and the alarm sounder. 7. 6BYPASS KEY: Removes individual protection zones from being monitored by the system.
Checking for Open Zones Using the ✱ READY Key Before arming your system, all protected doors, windows, and other protection zones must be closed or bypassed (see Bypassing Protection Zones section). Otherwise the keypad will display a NOT READY message. Pressing the [✱] key will display all zones that are faulted, making it easier for you to secure any open zones. Note: A SYSTEM READY display will appear and the green READY indicator on the keypad will be lit if the system is ready to be armed.
Arming Perimeter Only (with Entry Delay on) Using the 3 STAY Key Use this key when you are staying home, but expect someone to use the entrance door later. When armed in STAY mode, the system will sound an alarm if a protected door or window is opened, but you may otherwise move freely throughout the premises. Late visitors can enter through the entrance door without causing an alarm, but the system must be disarmed within the entry delay period or an alarm will occur.
Arming Perimeter Only (with Entry Delay off) Using the 7INSTANT Key Use this key when you are staying home, but would like increased security by arming pre-selected interior zones. When armed in INSTANT mode, the system will sound an alarm immediately if a protected window or door is opened, but you may otherwise move freely throughout the premises. Anyone entering through the entrance door will cause an immediate alarm.
Arming Perimeter Only (with Entry Delay on or Entry Delay off) Using the 2 AWAY or 4 MAX Key When no one will be staying on the premises, you can arm the system AWAY or MAX (Maximum). AWAY Mode After arming AWAY, you may leave through the entrance door during the exit delay period without causing an alarm. The system will sound an alarm (after the entry delay period) if a protected perimeter door or window is opened, or if any movement is detected inside the premises.
Disarming and Silencing Alarms Using the 1 OFF Key Use the OFF key to disarm the system and to silence alarm and trouble sounds. See Summary of Audible Notification section for information to help you distinguish between fire and burglary alarm sounds. IMPORTANT: If you return and the main burglary sounder is on, DO NOT enter the premises, but call the police from a nearby safe location.
Disarming and Silencing Alarms (cont'd) To clear the display after silencing an alarm: 2. ALARM 03 BACK DOOR Listen for 1 beep. The keypad displays the alarm memory. Enter 4-digit security code, then press the OFF key. Example: Press 7 3. ✱✱✱SYSTEM READY✱✱✱ 2 9 6 then 1 OFF Listen for 1 beep. The keypad displays the SYSTEM message and beeps once to confirm that the system is disarmed.
Bypassing Protection Zones Using the 6 BYPASS Key This key is used when you want to arm your system with one or more zones intentionally unprotected. Bypassed zones are unprotected and will not cause an alarm when violated while your system is armed. All bypasses are removed when an OFF sequence (security code plus OFF) is performed. Bypasses are also removed if the arming procedure that follows the bypass command is not successful. The system will not allow fire zones to be bypassed.
Bypassing Protection Zones (cont'd) Quick Bypass Your system may allow you to easily bypass all open (faulted) zones without having to enter zone numbers individually. Ask your installer if this feature is active. 1. + 6 BYPASS (Security Code) Enter 4-digit security code, then press the BYPASS key. Example: Press 7 2. BYPASS 07 FRONT UPSTAIRS BEDROOM Typical bypass message 3. ✱ZONE BYPASSED✱ SYSTEM READY 2 9 6 then 6 BYPASS Wait.
Chime Mode Using the 9 CHIME Key † Your system can be set to alert you to the opening of a door or window when the system is disarmed by using the CHIME mode. When activated, three beeps sound at the keypad whenever a protected perimeter door or window is opened. † Or selected doors or windows if chime-by-zone feature is active. Ask installer if this feature applies to your system. Pressing the ✱READY key will display the open protection points.
Panic Keys (For Manually Activating Silent and/or Audible Alarms) Using Panic Keys Your installer may have programmed your system to use special key pairs to manually activate panic functions. The functions that might be programmed are listed below. Ask your installer what function(s) are, or should be, programmed for your system.
Macro Key Using a Macro Key The “C” key can be used to activate a series of commands of up to 16 keystrokes. These keystrokes, as a group, are called macros and are stored in the system's memory. The “C” key must be initially programmed as a “macro” key (see the Security Codes section under “To Add or Change a User’s Code” for the necessary procedure). This will then enable you to program various functions into this key.
Using Device Commands General Information Your system may be set up so that certain lights or other devices can be turned on or off by using the device command from the keypad. Ask your installer if this has been done in your system. If programmed for your system, some devices may activate automatically upon certain system conditions. In this case, the following commands can be used to override the device activation. Ask your installer for a full explanation of this feature.
Paging Features General Information If the Paging feature has been programmed for your system, up to two separate pagers will automatically respond to certain conditions as they occur in your system. This message appears in a 7-digit format explained below. Up to 16 additional digits may be sent that may consist of PIN numbers, messages, reminders, etc. These 16 digits are programmed by your installer and will appear before the standard 7-digit message.
Using the Keyswitch General Your system may be equipped with a keyswitch for use when arming and disarming. A red and green light on the keyswitch plate indicate the status of your system as follows: Green Light: This indicator 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: This indicator lights when the system is armed or a memory of alarm exists.
Security Codes General Information As an additional safety feature, other users who do not need to know your code can be assigned different security codes. These secondary users are identified by "user numbers," which you select when you assign a user's security code. You can assign up to 14 additional user codes (user numbers 03-16), including the babysitter and Duress codes. Note that the master (primary) user of the system is the only one who can assign codes to secondary users.
Security Codes (cont'd) Single-Button Arming You can arm the system without the need to enter a security code by pressing a single key on the keypad, as follows: Pressing the “A” key arms the system AWAY Pressing the “B” key arms the system STAY Pressing the “C” key* arms the system INSTANT * Provided the “C” key is not programmed as a “Macro” key. Note: The security code must always be used to disarm the system.
Security Codes (cont'd) To Change the Master Code Follow the procedure for changing a user's code, but enter user 02. Additionally, when changing the Master code you will be prompted to enter the Master code a second time to confirm accuracy. 1. + 8 CODE Enter 4-digit Master code, then press the 8 (Master Code) CODE key. Example: Press 2 2. 0 0 5 9 then 8 CODE Enter user number “02.” Enter the 2-digit user number (03-16) for the user you are adding or changing. 2 (User Number) 3.
Testing the System (To be conducted weekly) Using the 5 TEST Key The TEST key puts your system into a TEST mode, which allows each protection point to be checked for proper operation. The keypad sounds a single beep every 40 seconds as a reminder that the system is in this TEST mode. Note: An alarm message will not be sent to your alarm monitoring company during the following tests. 1. ✱✱✱ SYSTEM 2. READY ✱✱✱ + 5 TEST (Security Code) Disarm the system.
Testing the System (cont'd) The display will clear when no motion is detected. Note that if you are using wireless motion detectors, there is a 3-minute delay between activations. This is to conserve battery life. To test all smoke detectors, follow the manufacturer's instructions. The keypad should display the identification of each detector when each is activated. If you experience a problem with any protection point (no confirming sounds, no display), CALL FOR SERVICE IMMEDIATELY.
Trouble Conditions Typical Check Displays The word CHECK on the keypad's display, accompanied by a rapid beeping at the keypad, indicates a trouble condition in the system. The displays in parentheses in the left column below may appear on non-Alpha keypads when the associated trouble condition is present. To silence the beeping sound for “CHECK” conditions, press any key.
Trouble Conditions (cont'd) Telco Fault (or CHECK and zone 94) If the telephone line monitor feature has been programmed for your system, this display indicates that the telephone line has been disconnected or cut. In some systems, this display is accompanied by a trouble sound from the keypad and an external sounder. CONTACT YOUR SERVICE COMPANY IMMEDIATELY. To silence the trouble sound, enter your security code plus OFF. COMM.
Trouble Conditions (cont'd) POWER indicator (if present) is off. AC LOSS is displayed. The system is operating on battery power only. If only some lights are out on the premises, check circuit breakers and fuses and reset or replace as necessary. CALL FOR SERVICE if AC power cannot be restored to the system. Busy-Standby (or dI) If this remains displayed for more than 1 minute, system is disabled. CALL SERVICE AT ONCE. OPEN CIRCUIT (or OC) The keypad is not receiving signals from the control.
Fire Alarm System (If Installed) General Information Your fire alarm system (if installed) is active 24 hours a day, providing continuous protection. In the event of an emergency, the installed smoke and heat detectors will automatically activate your security system, triggering a loud, interrupted sound from the keypad. Optional exterior sounders will also produce an interrupted sound. Your keypad will display a FIRE message (with zone location) until you silence and clear the alarm display.
Recommendations for Proper Protection THE FOLLOWING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE LOCATION OF FIRE AND BURGLARY DETECTION DEVICES HELP PROVIDE PROPER COVERAGE FOR THE PROTECTED PREMISES. Recommendations for Smoke and Heat Detectors With regard to the number and placement of smoke/heat detectors, we subscribe to the recommendations contained in the National Fire Protection Association's (NFPA) Standard #72, noted below.
Recommendations for Proper Protection (cont'd) In addition, we recommend the following: • Install a smoke detector inside every bedroom where a smoker sleeps. • Install a smoke detector inside every bedroom where someone sleeps with the door partly or completely closed. Smoke could be blocked by the closed door. Also, an alarm in the hallway outside may not wake up the sleeper if the door is closed.
Emergency Evacuation Establish and regularly practice a plan of escape in the event of fire. The following steps are recommended by the National Fire Protection Association: PORCH M ET OO OS DR E CL B M OM OO TH RO DR D BA E B BE 2ND FLOOR N HE TC KI OM RO D BE BACK DOOR M OO TH DR BA E B 1ST FLOOR 1. Position your detector or your interior and/or exterior sounders so that they can be heard by all occupants. 2. Determine two means of escape from each room.
Maintaining Your System Taking Care of Your System The components of your security system are designed to be as maintenance-free as possible. However, to make sure that your system is in reliable working condition: 1. Test your system weekly. 2. Test your system after any alarm occurs (see Testing the System section). Replacing Batteries in Wireless Sensors Wireless sensors may not have been installed in your security system. Each wireless sensor in your system has a 9-volt or 3-volt battery.
Maintaining Your System (cont'd) Silencing Low Battery Warning Tones at the Keypad You can silence the keypad’s warning tones by pressing the OFF key, but the keypad's LOW BATTERY message display will remain on as a reminder that you have a low-battery condition in one or more of your sensors. When you replace the weak battery with a fresh one, the sensor will send a "good battery" signal to the control as soon as the sensor is activated (opening/closing of door, window, etc.
