System Overview
Congratulations on your ownership of an ST security system, which offers the latest in secu-
rity protection technology. The ST system consists of a control panel, at least one keypad
and various sensors that provide burglary and/or fire protection. In addition, your system
may be programmed to send alarm and status messages to a central alarm monitoring station.
Control Panel
The control panel is the main processing unit for all system functions. It receives and responds
to signals from sensors throughout the premises. For monitored systems, the control panel con-
nects to the premises phone line or an optional Ethernet module for central station reporting.
Keypads
LCD Keypad
The 2-line x 16 character LCD keypad allows control and programming of the security system
and displays system status messages.
Wireless Keyfob
The wireless keyfob allows users the ability to arm and disarm the system, turn lights
on/off (if programmed), and activate a panic alarm. The keyfob includes a 5 year user-
replaceable battery.
Zones/Sensors
The system includes various detection devices, which are identified by the security system
as zones. Each zone has a type of detection sensor, which is installed throughout the prem-
ises to identify alarm conditions and communicate this information to the control panel.
The sensors used in the system may include, but are not limited to, devices such as door/
window sensors, smoke detectors, and motion sensors.
Door/Window Sensors
Door/Window sensors protect the perimeter of your home or business by alerting the con-
trol panel when a door or window is opened.
Smoke Detectors
Smoke and heat detectors protect the premises from fire conditions and remain active 24
hours per day regardless of the arming level of the system.
Motion Sensors
Motion sensors detect a person moving across the field of detection.
Modules
Optional modules may be included with your system to provide additional functionality.
Ethernet Interface Module
Your system may include an Ethernet Interface Module that provides Internet central sta-
tion reporting, browser access, and email reporting to your PC or cell phone. In addition, a
third-party adapter (such as D-Link DWL-G810) can be used to allow the system to have
802.11 Wi-Fi capabilities.
Remote Audio Module (Included with the ST Express)
The Remote Audio Module provides voice feedback for system conditions. If your system is
monitored, the module gives the central station operator the ability to communicate with the
occupants on the premises during an alarm. The operator can then determine the appropriate
course of action and dispatch the proper assistance. Ask your installer if this feature is enabled.
External Transceiver Module (Included with the ST Express)
The External Transceiver Module provides bidirectional wireless communications to the
system’s wireless sensors.
