SYSTEM OVERVIEW
General
A Partitioned
System
Congratulations on your ownership of an Ademco Partitioned
Security System. You've made a wise decision in choosing it, for
it represents the latest in security protection technology today.
Ademco is the world's largest manufacturer of security systems
and millions of premises are protected by Ademco systems.
This system offers you three forms of protection: burglary, fire
and emergency. To realize the system's full potential, it is
important that you feel comfortable in operating it. Your system
consists of at least one Keypad which provides full control of
system operation, various sensors which provide perimeter and
interior burglary protection, plus a selected number of strategically
placed smoke or combustion detectors designed to provide early
warning in case of fire.
The system uses microcomputer technology to monitor all
protection zones and system status and provides appropriate
information for display on the Keypad(s) used with the system,
and initiates appropriate alarms. Your system may also have
been programmed to automatically transmit alarm or status
messages over the phone lines to a central alarm monitoring
station.
Simply stated, a partitioned system shares one physical alarm
system among different users, each with their own requirements.
For the most part, you as a user need not know about other
users and their structure in the system, but from time to time, you
may see display messages which indicate the system is in use
by another user. Do not be concerned, this is normal. Refer to the
ACCESSING OTHER PARTITIONS section for additional
information.
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 will appear on the display, along with an alpha
descriptor for that zone (if programmed), when an alarm or trouble
condition occurs.
Ð 3 Ð
SYSTEM OVERVIEW (cont'd)
Fire Protection
Burglary
Protection
The fire protection portion of your security system (if used) is
always on and will sound an alarm if a fire condition is detected.
Refer to the FIRE ALARM SYSTEM section for important
information concerning fire protection, smoke detectors and
planning emergency exit routes from your house.
The burglary protection portion of your system must be turned on
or "armed" before it will sense burglary alarm conditions. Your
system provides four modes of burglary protection: STAY,
AWAY, INSTANT and MAXIMUM, and even allows you to
BYPASS selected zones of protection while leaving the rest of
the system armed. The system also provides a CHIME mode, for
alerting users to the opening and closing of doors and windows
while the system is disarmed. Refer to the other sections of this
manual for procedures for using these features.
The following table lists the four different arming modes and the
results of each.
Arming Features For Each Arming Mode
Mode Exit Entry Perimeter Interior
Delay Delay Armed Armed
AWAY Yes Yes Yes Yes
STAY Yes Yes Yes No
INSTANT Yes No Yes No
MAXIMUM Yes No Yes Yes
Alarms
Memory of Alarm
When an alarm occurs, both the keypad and external 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 also be sent. To stop the alarm sounding,
simply disarm the system.
When an alarm condition occurs, the keypad displays the
number(s) of the zone(s) that caused the problem, and displays
the type of alarm (ex. FIRE, ALARM). It remains displayed until it
is cleared by disarming the system (see DISARMING THE
SYSTEM section).

and/or performing other system functions at predetermined times.
Users can modify some of these schedules by manually delaying
a closing time, using temporary schedules, or by programming
special user schedules. Refer to the USING SCHEDULES

procedures.
control various devices, such as lights or appliances. These
timers are similar in concept to the individual appliance timers that
might be purchased at a department store. The devices that can
be controlled are programmed into the system by the installer.
Up to 16 of these devices can be programmed. Refer to the
PROGRAMMING DEVICE TIMERS section for procedures.
Each keypad is assigned a default partition for display purposes,
and will show only that partition's information. But, if the user is
authorized, a keypad in one partition can be used to perform
system functions in another partition by using the GOTO
command. Note that only those partitions authorized and
programmed by the installer can be accessed in this manner.
To GOTO another partition, enter your security code, then press
✱
followed by the desired partition number (1-8).
The keypad will remain in the new partition until directed to go to
another partition, or until 120 seconds has elapsed with no
keypad activity. Entering partition number 0 will return the keypad
to its original partition.

GOTO command, a user must have access to all partitions.
Abbreviated user's instructions are built into the system that can
be easily viewed on the alpha keypad's message display
screen. This feature will prove particularly useful if this manual is
not conveniently accessible when you need to perform a system
procedure with which you are not familiar.

Simply press and hold down the function key of interest until
the description starts to appear (about 5 seconds) and then
release it.
Refer to the FUNCTIONS OF THE KEYPAD section for
descriptions of each key function.
Your system may include a 4285 VIP module that will permit you
to access the system via a Touch-tone phone, either onpremises or by call-in when away. The phone access feature will
enable you to do the following:
¥ Receive synthesized voice messages over the telephone
regarding the status of the security system.
¥ Arm and disarm the system and perform most function
commands via the telephone, with voice confirmation provided
after each command entry.
¥ Control 4204 relays through the #70 Manual Relay Activation
mode.

The Keypad This system uses alpha keypads, which feature a 2-line, 32
Your keypads allow you to control all system functions. The
keypads feature a telephone style (digital) keypad and a Liquid
Crystal Display (LCD) which shows the nature and location of all
occurrences. Keypad display back lighting is programmable to
always stay on or to light only when a key is pressed, then turn
off a few minutes later.
The keypads also feature a built-in sounder which will sound
during alarms and troubles. It will also "beep" during certain
system functions, such as during entry/exit delay times, during
CHIME mode, and when depressing keys to arm and disarm the
system (to acknowledge the key press). These sounds can be
optionally suppressed in some of your keypads (so as not to
disturb other users of the system). Ask your installer if this has
been done.

ENTRY/EXIT DELAYS
General
Information
Your 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 begins immediately after entering any
arming command, and applies to all modes of arming protection. If
programmed, a slow beeping will sound throughout the exit delay
period.
Entry Delay gives you time to disarm the system when you
reenter through the designated entrance door. But the system
must be disarmed before the entry delay period ends, or an alarm
will occur. The keypad will beep during the entry delay period,
reminding you to disarm the system. You can also arm the system
with no entry delay at all by using either INSTANT or MAXIMUM
arming modes. These modes provide greater security while on
the premises or while away for extended periods of time. See
your installer for your delay times.
Ð 10 Ð
SECURITY CODES
& AUTHORITY LEVELS
General
Information
Duress Code This feature is intended for use when you are forced to disarm or
At the time of installation, you were assigned an authority level
and a personal four-digit security code, known only to you and
yours. The security code must be entered when arming and
disarming the system. The authority level defines the system
functions that you can perform.
As an additional safety feature, other users that do not have a
need to know your code can be assigned different security
codes, and each user can be given a different authority level.
Users are identified by "user numbers", which are assigned when
assigning a user's security code.
All codes can be used interchangeably when performing system
functions within the limits of each code's authority level (a system
armed with one user's code can be disarmed by another user's
code), with the exception of the Operator Level C code. See
AUTHORITY LEVELS section on the following page for detailed
information regarding user authority levels.
arm the system under threat. When used, the system will act
normally, but can silently notify the central station of your
situation, if that service has been provided. The duress code is
pre-assigned by the installer during installation (auth. level 6).
Important: This code is useful only when the system is
connected to a central station.
Quick Arming Note that if "Quick Arming" was programmed by the installer, the
# key can be pressed in place of the security code when arming
the system. The security code must always be used to disarm
the system, however.

SECURITY CODES
& AUTHORITY LEVELS (cont'd)
Authority Levels
Authority levels define the system functions a particular user can
perform. Depending on the authority assigned to you, there are
certain system functions you may be prohibited from performing.

and Changes
To Exit User Edit
Mode
¥ A user may not delete or change the user code of the SAME or
HIGHER authority than which he is assigned.
¥ A user may only ADD users to a LOWER authority level.
¥ A user may assign access codes only to those partitions to
which the user adding the code has access. (ex. a user with
access to only partition 1 cannot assign codes in partition 2.)
¥ The only way to assign a user's authority level is by using the
"Add A User" procedure. To change a user's authority level,
that user must first be deleted, then added again.
¥ A user can only be DELETED or CHANGED from within the
partition he is assigned.
¥ User numbers must be entered as 3-digit entries. One- or two-
digit user numbers must be preceded by a "0" (example, 003,
004, etc.). Security codes are entered as 4-digit numbers.
¥ Before assigning a security code, be sure it does not conflict
with any DURESS code.
Note: When adding, changing or deleting users, all other alpha
keypads in that partition will display "User Edit Mode Ð Please
Stand By", and key depressions (except Panic) at those
keypads will be ignored. Panic key depressions will cause an
alarm and terminate user entry.

To Access
Another Partition
Each keypad is assigned a default partition for display purposes,
and will show only that partition's information. But, if the user is
authorized, a keypad in one partition can be used to perform
system functions in other partitions by using the GOTO
command. Note that only those partitions authorized and
programmed by the installer can be accessed in this manner.
To GOTO another partition:

X = partition number
Global Arming The Global Arming option may have been programmed for use
by some users. If Global Arming was enabled for use with your
security code, a keypad prompt (message) will appear after
pressing one of the arming function keys (STAY, INSTANT,
AWAY, MAXIMUM, OFF). Follow the keypad prompts to continue
arming the system. See your installer for detailed instructions on
the use of this feature.
If global arming does not apply to your security code, use the
procedures described in the following pages.
Master Keypad
Operation
A "Master" keypad is one that reflects the status of the entire
system (Partitions 1-8) on its display. This is useful because it
eliminates the need for a security officer in a building to have to
"log-on" to various partitions from one partition's keypad to find
out where an alarm has occurred.

Operation
of other partitions in a building, that shared partition may be
assigned as the "common lobby" partition for the system.
An example of this might be in a medical building where
there are two doctor's offices and a common entrance area .
This option employs logic for automatic arming and
disarming of the common lobby . Partitions may be set to
affect and/or attempt to arm the common lobby. This will
affect the way the lobby will react when arming or disarming
activity occurs in another partition.
Partitions set to

a. When the first partition that affects the lobby is
disarmed, the lobby will also be disarmed.
b. The common lobby cannot be armed unless every
partition selected to affect the lobby is armed.
c. Arming the last partition that affects the lobby

disarmed, the lobby will also be disarmed.
b. The common lobby cannot be armed unless every

How User Codes
Affect the Common
Lobby
Codes with "Global" Arming
If your code is given "global arming" when it is defined the
keypad will ask "Arm all?" or "Disarm all?" whenever you
try to arm or disarm the partitions you have access to from
an alpha keypad. This allows you to pick and choose the
partitions to be armed or disarmed, and so eliminates the
"automatic" operation of the lobby. Keep in mind, however,
that if attempting to arm all, and another "affecting" partition
is disarmed, you will not be able to arm the lobby, and the
message "UNABLE TO ARM LOBBY PARTITION" will be
displayed.
Codes with "Non-Global" Arming
If arming with a non-global code, or if arming with a global
code from a non-alpha keypad, the lobby partition
operation will be automatic, as described in the previous
table.
Other Methods of Arming/Disarming

the common lobby in one of the following manners, lobby
