SYSTEM OVERVIEW

General

A Partitioned

System

Zones

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.

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.

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).

SYSTEM OVERVIEW (cont'd)

Speed Key

(Macros)

Using Schedules

Device Timers

The system can store a string of up to 16 keystrokes, which can be activated anytime by simply pressing the "D" key. This feature can be used to make it easy to perform a complicated procedure (such as going to another partition to bypass a zone), or it can be used to simplify an everyday, repeated procedure. Refer to the SPEED KEY section for procedures for using this feature.

Your system may have been programmed with schedules for automatically arming, disarming and activating various devices 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 section at the end of this manual for scheduling related procedures.

The system provides up to 20 "timers" which can be used to 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.

To Access Each keypad is assigned a default partition for display purposes, Another Partition and will show only that partition's information. But, if the user is (GOTO Command) authorized, a keypad in one partition can be used to perform system functions in another partition by using the G O T O 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.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW (cont'd)

Master Keypad A "Master" keypad is one on which the status of all 8 partitions is Operation displayed simultaneously. A user can get more information about

a certain partition by simply entering + the desired partition

number (1-8). To log on to the "Master" partition (9) using the GOTO command, a user must have access to all partitions.

Self-Help Feature 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.

To view the abbreviated instructions:

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.

Phone Access & Your system may include a 4285 VIP module that will permit you Voice Response to access the system via a Touch-tone phone, either on- Capability premises 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.

Complete information regarding the use of this feature is provided in a separate manual entitled PHONE ACCESS USER'S GUIDE, which accompanies the 4285 VIP module.

ABOUT THE KEYPADS

General

IMPORTANT: If the keypad beeps rapidly upon entering the premises, it indicates that an alarm has occurred during your absence. LEAVE IMMEDIATELY and CONTACT THE POLICE from a nearby safe location.

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.

The Keypad This system uses alpha keypads, which feature a 2-line, 32 character alphanumeric Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). These keypads can display system messages in friendly English. Abbreviated user's instructions can also be displayed (see Self Help paragraph in the SYSTEM OVERVIEW section). These keypads can also be programmed with custom zone descriptors.

– 7 –

FUNCTIONS OF THE KEYPAD

1.ALPHA DISPLAY WINDOW: A 2-line, 32character Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). Displays protection point identification and system status, messages, and user instructions.

2.OFF KEY: Disarms the burglary portion of

the system, silences alarms and audible trouble indicators, and clears visual alarm trouble after the problem has been corrected.

3.AWAY KEY: Completely arms both

perimeter and interior burglary protection by sensing an intruder's movements through protected interior areas as well as guarding protected doors, windows, etc. Late arrivals can enter through an entry delay zone without causing an alarm if the system is disarmed before the entry delay time expires.

4.STAY KEY: Arms the perimeter burglary

protection, guarding protected doors, windows and other perimeter protection points, and sounds an alarm if one is opened. Interior protection is not armed, which allows movement within your house without causing an alarm. Late arrivals can enter through an entry delay zone without causing an alarm if the system is disarmed before the entry delay time expires.

5.MAXIMUM KEY: Arms in manner similar

to AWAY mode, but eliminates the entry delay period, thus providing maximum protection. An alarm will occur immediately upon opening any protection point, including entry delay zones.

6.TEST KEY: Tests the system and alarm sounder if disarmed.

7.BYPASS KEY: Removes individual

protection zones from being monitored by the system. Displays previously bypassed protection zones.

8.INSTANT KEY: Arms in manner similar to

STAY mode, but turns off the entry delay period, offering greater security while inside and not expecting any late arrivals. An alarm will occur immediately upon opening any perimeter protection point, including entry delay zones.

9.CODE KEY: Allows the entry of additional

user codes that can be given to other users of the system.

10.CHIME KEY: Turns on & off the CHIME

mode. When on, any entry through a protected delay or perimeter zone while the system is disarmed will cause a tone to sound at the Keypad(s).

11.READY KEY: When depressed prior to

arming the system, the keypad will display all open protection zones within the keypad's home partition. This key is also used to display all zone descriptors that have been programmed for your system, by holding the key down for at least 5 seconds.

12.# KEY: Permits ARMING of the system

without use of a security code ("Quick Arm", if programmed).

13.KEYS 0-9: Used to enter your individual security access code(s).

14.POWER/READY INDICATOR: (GREEN) On some keypads, this lights when primary power is on. If off, system is operating on its backup battery power. CALL YOUR INSTALLER IMMEDIATELY. On other types of keypads, lit indicates system is ready to be armed, while unlit indicates system not ready.

15.ARMED INDICATOR: (RED) Lit when the system has been armed (STAY, AWAY, INSTANT or MAXIMUM).

16.INTERNAL SOUNDER: Source of audible internal warning and confirmation sounds, as well as alarms (see "Summary of Audible Notifications").

17.A-B-C PANIC KEYS: Refer to the PANIC KEYS section for descriptions of these keys.

IMPORTANT!: When using the keypad to enter codes and commands, sequential key depressions must be made within 3 seconds of one another. If 3 seconds elapses without a key depression, the entry is aborted and must be repeated from its beginning.

– 9 –

ENTRY/EXIT DELAYS

General Your system has preset time delays, known as exit delay and Information 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.

– 10 –

SECURITY CODES & AUTHORITY LEVELS

General

Information

Duress Code

Quick Arming

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.

This feature is intended for use when you are forced to disarm or 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.

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.

– 11 –

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. In summary, there are six authority levels, each having certain system restrictions as shown below.

Level/Title	Arm/Disarm	Silence	Add/Change	Bypass	Activate Test
	Burglary	Alarms, Supv	Security	Zones	Modes
	System	& Trouble	Codes
1-Master	yes	yes	yes, levels 2-	yes, burg	yes, burg.
			6 only	zones (and	walk test, fire
				fire zones if	drill
				enabled)
2-Manager	yes	yes	yes, levels 3-	yes, burg	yes, burg.
			6 only	zones only	walk test
3-Operator A	yes	yes	no	yes, burglary	no
				zones only
4-Operator B	yes	yes	no	no	no
5-Operator C	yes, can disarm	yes	no	no	no
	only if used to
	arm
6-Duress	yes, sends	yes	no	no	no
	silent panic
	report

To view your authority level and system capabilities:

1. Enter your code + + .

2.The keypad will display the partition(s) that you are authorized to operate, and your user number and authority level in each partition.

SECURITY CODES

& AUTHORITY LEVELS (cont'd)

General Rules on Authority Levels and Changes

•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. Oneor twodigit 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 – 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 Exit User Edit You can exit any of the user edit modes described on the Mode following pages at any time by doing the following:

1. Press either or # , or don't press any key for 10 seconds.

2. System returns to normal mode.

If you as a user have access to other partitions, the keypad will prompt for ability of this new user to access (GOTO) those partitions. Press 0 (NO) or 1 (YES). If no, the system activates this user code and exits “Add a User” mode. If yes, the keypad prompts for the Global Arm option for this user.

Press 1 (YES) if this user will be allowed to try to arm more than one partition at the same time. Press 0 if this user will arm only his assigned partition.

The keypad now prompts for the user’s access to the next partition (see GOTO command). Again press 0 or 1. If yes, the system will automatically assign a user number for use in that partition and will prompt for the authority level and global arm option for this user within the partition (see previous steps).

When all partitions have been displayed, the keypad will scroll through the partition(s) to which access has been assigned, and will display the user number, authority level and global arm option for each. The “G” after the authority level indicates that the global arm feature is active for this user in the displayed partition. The " " indicates the partition from which this user can be changed or deleted. The "." at the end of the second line indicates that this user sends open/close reports. Open/close reporting is automatically active for any users added by you, if you have open/close reporting active.

A User's security code cannot be deleted by oneself.

– 16 –

ACCESSING OTHER PARTITIONS

(GOTO Command and Global Arming)

To Access	Each keypad is assigned a default partition for display purposes,
Another Partition	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 G O T O
	command. Note that only those partitions authorized and
	programmed by the installer can be accessed in this manner.

To GOTO another partition:

READY

1.	Enter your security code, then press			+ partition
	number (0-9).
	Entering partition number 0 will return the keypad to its original
	partition.
2.		The keypad will remain in the new partition
	LOG-ON TO
	AAAA	until directed to go to another partition, or
	PART. X	until 2 minutes has elapsed with no
	COMPLETE	keypad activity.
		AAAA = alpha descriptor programmed by
		the installer
		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 A "Master" keypad is one that reflects the status of the entire Operation 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.

A description of a typical display follows:

S Y S T E M 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

S T A T U S R R N N A B

– 17 –

ACCESSING OTHER PARTITIONS (cont'd)

Master Keypad	The status of each partition is directly below the partition number
Operation	on the display. Possible status indications include:
(continued)	A = Armed Away		M = Armed Maximum
	S = Armed Stay		I = Armed Instant
	R = Ready		N = Not Ready
	B = Bypassed/Ready		T = Alarm Memory/Trouble present
	To obtain more information regarding a particular partition, enter
	+ [Partition No.] (i.e., 4). This will allow viewing only of that
	partition. In order to affect that partition, the user must log on with
	a code that has access to that partition. Also, in order for a user
	of any partition to log onto the "Master" partition (Partition 9) to
	view the status of all partitions, that user must have access to all
	partitions. Otherwise, access will be denied.
	The following is an example of what would be displayed for a
	fault condition on Zone 2 (Loading Dock Window) on Partition 1
	(Warehouse) when logging on from a keypad on Partition 9:
		WHSE DISARMED
		HIT FOR FAULTS
	This is the normal display that appears at Partition 1's keypad(s).
	Pressing will display:

F A U L T 0 2 L O A D I N G

D O C K W I NDOW

Additional zone faults will be displayed one at a time. To display a new partition's status, press + [Partition No.]. This will display the status of the new partition.

The "Armed" LED on a Master keypad will be lit only if all partitions have been armed successfully. The "Ready" LED will be lit only if all partitions are "ready to arm."

The sounder on a Master keypad will reflect the sound of the most critical condition on all of the partitions. The priority of the sounds is as follows:

A.Pulsing fire alarm sounds

B.Steady burglar alarm sounds

C.Trouble sounds

The sounder may be silenced by pressing any key on the

Master keypad.

ACCESSING OTHER PARTITIONS (cont'd)

Common Lobby	When an installation consists of a partition shared by users
	of other partitions in a building, that shared partition may be
Operation	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 affect the lobby will cause the following to
	occur:
	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 will not
		automatically attempt to arm the lobby.
	Partitions set to arm the lobby will cause the following to
	occur:
	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 is programmed to arm the
		lobby will automatically attempt to arm the lobby. If any
		faults exist in the lobby partition, or another partition that
		affects the lobby is disarmed, the lobby cannot be
		armed, and the message "UNABLE TO ARM LOBBY
		PARTITION" will be displayed.

– 19 –

ACCESSING OTHER PARTITIONS (cont'd)

The following chart sums up how the common lobby partition will operate.

	Partition	Partition		Disarms when	Attempts to arm when	Can be armed if
	Affects Lobby	Arms Lobby		partition disarms?	partition arms?	other partitions
				disarmed?
	NO	NO		NO	NO	YES
	YES	NO		YES	NO	NO
	YES	YES		YES	YES	NO
	NO	YES		---ENTRY NOT ALLOWED---
How User Codes		Codes with "Global" Arming
Affect the Common		If your code is given "global arming" when it is defined the
Lobby		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

When arming or disarming a partition that affects and/or arms the common lobby in one of the following manners, lobby logic remains active:

•Quick-Arm

•Keyswitch

•Wireless Button

•Wireless Keypad
