Access Codes Access codes are used to arm and disarm the system. There are 37 access codes available: 1 master code, 32 regular access codes, 2 duress codes and 2 partition master codes. Ask your installer for more information on using the duress and partition master codes. Only the Master Code can be used to program additional security codes and to change other system features as well as to arm and disarm the security system. The Master Code will be supplied to you by your installer.
Alternate Arming Methods Away Arming Arming the system in the Away mode will have all interior zones and perimeter zones active. If motion is detected in the interior zones, or if one of the perimeter zones is violated, the alarm sequence will begin. To arm in the Away mode, enter your access code and exit the premises through a designated Exit/Entry door. The system will recognize that occupants have left the premises. Once the exit delay expires, the system will be fully armed.
Disarming the System Disarming from an LED or LCD5501Z Keypad: Enter the premises through a designated Exit/Entry door; entering by any other door will sound an immediate alarm. As soon as the Exit/Entry door is opened, the keypad will beep to indicate that the system should be disarmed. Go to the keypad and enter your access code. If an error is made entering the code, enter your code again. As soon as the correct code is entered, the Armed light will go out and the keypad will stop beeping.
If An Alarm Sounds Fire Alarm If your system has been installed with fire detectors and the alarm sounds in a pulsing mode, follow your emergency evacuation plan immediately (see “Fire Escape Planning” on page 15). Intrusion Alarm If an intrusion alarm sounds, indicated by a continuous bell or siren, the alarm may be silenced by entering your access code. If the alarm was unintentional, call local authorities immediately to avoid an unnecessary response.

Zone Bypassing The zone bypassing function is used when access is needed to part of the protected area while the system is armed. Zones which are temporarily out of service due to damaged wiring or contacts may be bypassed to allow system arming until repairs can be made. Bypassed zones will not cause an alarm. Zones cannot be bypassed once the system is armed. Bypassed zones are automatically cancelled each time the system is disarmed and must be reapplied before the next arming.
Additional Zone Bypassing Features To recall the last set of bypassed zones, press [✱][1][9][9]. Arm the system. The Bypass light will turn on to indicate that zones are bypassed. To clear all bypassed zones, press [✱][1][0][0]. Viewing Trouble Conditions The control panel continuously monitors a number of possible trouble conditions.

Fire Escape Planning There is often very little time between the detection of a fire and the time it becomes deadly. It is thus very important that a family escape plan be developed and rehearsed. 1. Every family member should participate in developing the escape plan. 2. Study the possible escape routes from each location within the house. Since many fires occur at night, special attention should be given to the escape routes from sleeping quarters. 3.
