System Overview
Introduction to Your System
This system offers you three forms of protection: burglary, fire and emergency. Monitoring is accomplished with various contact and motion sensors for perimeter and interior burglary protection, plus strategically placed smoke, heat, or combustion detectors.
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 three modes of burglary protection: Away, Stay, and Night, and even allows you to “bypass” selected zones of protection while leaving the rest of the system armed (e.g. this enables you to arm the system but leave upper-story windows open.)
The system also provides a Chime mode, for alerting users to the opening and closing of doors and windows even while the system is disarmed.
Partitions
This system provides the ability to arm and disarm up to eight different areas, each as if it had its own control. These areas are called partitions. Partitions are used when the user wants to disarm certain areas while leaving other areas armed, or to limit access to certain areas to specific individuals. Each user of the system can be authorized to operate all or only some partitions, and can be given different privileges in each. Information about Partitions is presented later in this document.
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 a Custom English descriptor for that zone (if programmed), when an alarm or trouble condition occurs.
Entry/Exit Delays
Your system has preset time delays, referred to 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 Touchpad will beep during the entry delay period, reminding you to disarm the system. Ask your installer about the delay times programmed into your system.
11
System Overview (cont'd)
Alarms
When an alarm occurs, iCenter/iCenter-i (and any other Touchpads) and external sounders will sound, and the zone(s) causing the alarm are displayed. 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 number(s) of the zone(s) that caused the problem are displayed, along with the type of alarm (e. g. FIRE, ALARM). These remains displayed until cleared by disarming the system.
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.
User Codes
Each user must be assigned a name with a corresponding 4-digit user code in order to gain access to various features and functions. Through iCenter/iCenter-i, you may program users to access any and all of the following systems:
•Fire/Burglary
•Internet
Users for the systems are programmed in a central user setup location that provides the specific questions for the user pertaining to each system. You may want these users to be the same, but there are situations in which you may want a user to have access to one system (e.g., Message Center) without having access to another (e.g., the Fire/Burglary system).
Internet Features
As a household Internet appliance, ICenter/iCenter-i provides access to a wealth of information, including:
•News
•Sports
•Weather
•E-mail, and
•Updates of user-selectable content such as your horoscope.
Additionally, you may control all of iCenter/iCenter-i’s functions from any personal computer or laptop that has Internet capabilities, including security system functions (arming, disarming, etc.) and to check to see if you have a voice message.

SCREEN |
ACTION |
NOTE: Once the system is disarmed, iCenter/iCenter-i will return to the "Home" screen after the selected “To Home Page After” time has expired. This time is selected on the “Setup” screen.
How to Disarm Using a Keyswitch
To disarm the partition, turn the key to the right and release. If an alarm has occurred, the red light will be flashing rapidly (memory of alarm).
How to Check the Status of Other Partitions
This system supports between one and eight Partitions (as configured by your installer.) Partitioning enables a single physical alarm system to control up to eight areas of protection (partitions). Each iCenter/iCenter-i and Touchpad is assigned a default partition for display purposes, and will show only that partition's information.
For example, if your physical site is a four-apartment housing unit, this alarm system would be configured with four partitions. Each apartment’s zones (door, windows, smoke detectors, etc.) are assigned to separate partitions, giving each apartment independent arming/disarming control of its own partition (area). A landlord or manager may be granted access to all partitions, so he/she can control the entire system.
If a user is so authorized, an iCenter/iCenter-i or Touchpad in one partition can be used to perform system functions in another partition. (Note that only those partitions authorized and programmed by the installer can be accessed in this manner.)
