General Information
This system offers you three forms of protection: burglary, fire, and emergency, depending on the configuration of your system. The system consists of a master keypad for controlling system operation, various wireless sensors which provide perimeter and interior burglary protection, and optional smoke or combustion detectors to provide early fire warning. In addition, optional wireless keypads may have been installed to allow you to control the system away from the master keypad.
The system uses microcomputer technology to monitor all protection zones and system status, display appropriate information on the keypad display, and initiate appropriate alarms. Your system may also have been programmed to automatically send alarm or status messages over the phone lines to a central alarm monitoring station.
The user features of this security system are listed below. Ask your installer which features have been programmed for your system.
STAY and AWAY arming modes: You can protect either the perimeter only, or the
entire premises.
3 panic key functions: Designated keys allow you to manually activate fire, personal
emergency, or silent alarms. Refer to the PANIC KEYS section for detailed information.
Paging feature: Alerts you to certain system conditions by displaying code numbers
that indicate the type of condition that has occurred. In ad dition, pressing the AUX key can send a predefined message to your pager, if programmed to do so (see AUX key function below). Refer to the PAGING FEATURE section for detailed information.
Real-time clock: Keypad displays current time. Refer to the CLOCK/CALENDAR
section for procedures for setting the time.
Voice announcement of system status: The master keypad’s built-in speaker
announces system status at the press of a key. Refer to the CHECKING SYSTEM STATUS section for details.
Message center: The system allows recording and play back of brief messages. Refer
to the RECORDING/PLAYBACK MESSAGES section for procedures.
Device activation: Designated keys allow you to turn lights and/or other devices o n
and off. In addition, some devices (e.g., a light) may be programmed to activate automatically as a result of a system event such as an alarm or trouble condition. Refer to the USING DEVICE COMMANDS section for detailed information.
AUX key function: Designated key lets you activate a predefined series of keystrokes
with a single press of the feature above). Refer to the AUX FUNCTION section for detailed information.

General Operation

Zones
Your system's sensing devices have been assigned to various " zones." For example, the sensing device on your entry/exit door may have been assigned to zone 01, sensing devices on windows in the master bedroom to zone 02, and so on. These numbers appear on the display when an alarm or trouble condition occurs.
Fire Protection
The fire protection portion of your security system (if used) is always active and will sound an alarm if a fire condition is detected. Refer to the FIRE ALARM SYSTEM sectio n for important information concerning fire protection, smoke detectors and planning emergency exit routes from the premises.
Burglary Protection
Your system provides two modes of burglary protection: STAY and AWAY. STAY mode protects the perimeter only, allowing you to freely move within inside the premises. AWAY mode protects the entire system. Both modes provide an entry delay time that allows you to reenter the premises without setting off an alarm. For additional security,
you can turn the entry delay off when arming the system by using the combination with the desired arming key. The system also allows you to bypass selected
zones before arming the system, if desired. Refer to the BYPASSING PROTECTION ZONES section. The system also provides a CHIME mode, for alerting users to the opening of protected doors and windows while the system is disarmed.
You must turn on ("arm") the burglary protection portion of your system before it will sense burglary alarms. To arm the system, enter your security code then press the desired arming key (AWAY or STAY). Refer to the ARMING THE SYSTEM section for detailed procedures and information.
Security Codes
At the time of installation, you were assigned a personal 4-digit security code. You must enter the security code when arming and disarming the system, and when performing other system functions. As an additional security feature, other users who do not need to know your code can be assigned up to 6 different security codes. Refer to the SECURITY CODES section for procedures on adding security codes to the system.
Alarms
When an alarm occurs, the keypad and sounders will sound, and the keypad will display the zone(s) causing the alarm. If your system is connected to a central monitoring station, an alarm message will be sent. To stop the alarm sounding, simply disarm the system. The zone(s) causing the alarm remain displayed indicating memory of alarm. Refer to the DISARMING THE SYSTEM section for information about clearing the memory of alarm display.

About the Master Keypad

General
IMPORTANT: If the keypad beeps rapidly upon entering the premises, an alarm has oc­curred during your absence and an intruder may still be on the premises. LEAVE IMMEDIATELY and CONTACT THE POLICE from a nearby safe location.
The keypad allows you to control all system functions. The keypad features telephone­style keys and a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) which shows the nature and location of all occurrences.
The keypad also features a built-in sounder which will sound during alarms and troubles. The keypad also "beeps" during certain system functions, such as during entry/exit delay times, in Chime mode, and when depressing any of the keys (to acknowledge the key press). In addition, a built-in speaker announces system status.

System Can Be Armed
The READY light will be lit when all protection zones have been either closed or bypassed. You may now arm the system as usual.
– 10 –
Arming in Stay Mode
Use this mode when you are staying home, but expect someone to use the entrance door later. Close all protected perimeter windows and doors before arming. The green READY indicator on the keypad should be lit if the system is ready to be armed.
To arm in STAY mode:
** See Quick Arming paragraph. The keypad beeps three times and displays the armed STAY message. The red ARMED
indicator lights and the system announces “armed STAY–exit now.” 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 arrivals can enter through the entrance door without causing an alarm, but they must disarm the system within the entry delay period or an alarm will occur.
Restarting Exit Delay While System Armed
Ask your installer if this feature is active for your system. If active, you can restart the exit delay at any time after arming in STAY mode. This is useful if you wish to open the entry/exit door to let someone in after arming the system, and avoids having to disarm the system and then re-arm it again.
