System Overview

General

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.

A Partitioned System

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.

– 4 –

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 001, sensing devices on windows in the master bedroom to zone 002, 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.

Fire 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 impo rtant information co ncerning fire protection, smoke detectors and planning emergency exit routes from your house.

Burglary Protection

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.

System Overview (cont’d)

The following table lists the four different arming modes and the results of each.

Features For Each Arming Mode Arming Mode

AWAY Yes Yes Yes Yes STAY Yes Yes Yes No INSTANT Yes No Yes No MAXIMUM Yes No Yes Yes

Alarms

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.

Memory of Alarm

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).

Exit Delay

Entry Delay

Perimeter Armed

Interior Armed

Speed Key (Macros)

The system can store a string of up to 32 keystrokes, which can be activated anytime by simply pressing the “A, B, C, or D” keys. 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.

– 6 –

System Overview (cont’d)

Using Schedules

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.

Device Timers

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 32 of these devices can be programmed. Refer to the PROGRAMMING DEVICE TIMERS section for procedures.

To Access Another Partition (GOTO Command)

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.

– 7 –

System Overview (cont’d)

Master Keypad Operation

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

certain partition by simply entering ✴ 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 & Voice Response Capability

Your system may include a 4285 or 4286 VIP module that will permit you to access the system via a Touch-tone phone, either on-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

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

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.

from a nearby safe location.

The Alpha Keypad

Alpha keypads feature a 2-line, 32 character alphanumeric Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) which 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.

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.

– 14 –

General Information

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.

Duress Code

Security Codes & Authority Levels

Quick Arming

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 (authority 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

– 15 –

Security Codes & Authority Levels (cont’d)

system. The security code must always be used to disarm the system, however.

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 1 Master: Can perform all system functions in assigned

partitions, and can add, delete or change Manager and Operator level users. Master codes are added by the Installer.

Level 2 Manager: Can perform system functions in assigned

partitions, and can add, delete or change Operator level users.

Level 3 Operator A: Can perform system functions in assigned

partitions, but cannot add or delete other users.

– 16 –

Level 4 Operator B: Same as Operator A, except Operator B

cannot bypass zones of protection.

Level 5 Operator C: Can arm the system in assigned partitions,

but cannot disarm the system unless the system was armed with this code. This code is typically assigned to someone who has a need to arm/disarm the system only at certain times (such as a baby-sitter).

Level 6 Duress: Can arm and disarm the system, but also

sends a silent panic alarm to the central station, if that service is connected.

Security Codes & Authority Levels (cont’d)

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.

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. Single digit user

numbers must be preceded by a "00" (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.

If yes, that user's code will be removed from all partitions to which it was assigned, and all authorization levels and other information about that user will be deleted. Note that a user can only be deleted from the partition in which it was first assigned, and can only be deleted by a user with a higher authority level. A User's security code cannot be deleted by oneself.

– 21 –

Accessing Other Partitions

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:

1. Enter your security code, then press ✴ + partition number (0-8).

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.

READY

Entering partition number 0 will return the keypad to its original partition.

Accessing Other Partitions (cont’d)

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.

A description of a typical display follows:

The status of each partition is directly below the partition number on the display. Possible status indications include:

A = Armed Away M = Armed Maximum S = Armed Stay I = Armed Instant R = Ready N = Not Ready B = Bypassed/Ready

To obtain more information regarding a particular partition, enter [*] + [Partition No.] (i.e., 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 "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.
