IMPORTANT!

PROPER INTRUSION PROTECTION

For proper intrusion coverage, sensors should be located at

entry

to a home or commercial premises. This would include any skylights that may be

present, and the upper windows in a multi-level building. In addition, we recommend that radio backup be used in a security system so that alarm

signals can still be sent to the alarm monitoring center in the event that the telephone lines are out of order (alarm signals are normally sent over the phone lines).

every possible point of

EARLY WARNING FIRE DETECTION

Early warning fire detection is important in a home. Smoke and heat detectors have played a key role in reducing fire deaths in the United States. With regard to the number and placement of smoke/heat detectors, we subscribe to the recommendations contained in the National Fire Protection Association's National Fire Alarm Code (NFPA

72). These recommendations can be found on page 31 of this manual.

About This Manual

This manual is a step-by-step guide that will acquaint you with the system's features and benefits. It defines the components and their functions, describes their operation, and provides clear step-by-step instructions for normal and emergency procedures. Keep this manual in a convenient place so that you can refer to it as necessary.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

Congratulations on the installation of an ADT Security System. You've made a wise decision in choosing it, for it represents the latest in security protection technology today, including microcomputer technology to monitor all system status.

Basically, this system offers you two forms of protection: burglary, fire and emergency. Your system may consist of at least one touchpad which provides full control of system operation, various sensors such as motion detectors and door and window sensing devices. Your system may also have been programmed to automatically transmit alarm or status messages over the phone lines to an ADT Customer Care Center.

All system functions are controlled by your touchpad(s), which are described in the next section,

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 04, and so on. These zone numbers will appear on the display when an alarm or trouble condition occurs.

To initiate burglary protection in your system, it must be turned on or "armed" before it will sense burglary alarm conditions and sound an alarm. Your system can be armed in one of three modes: STAY, AWAY, and INSTANT. Refer to the for instructions in using these modes of operation.

When disarmed, your system can be set to alert you to the opening of a door or window by using the CHIME mode. In this mode, three tones will sound at the Touchpad(s) whenever a door or window is opened.

When an alarm occurs, both the touchpad and external sounders will sound, and a message at the touchpad will identify the zone(s) causing the alarm. In addition, an alarm message will be sent to the ADT Customer Care Center. To stop the alarm sounding, you simply disarm the system.

The touchpad displays the zone number and type of alarm for any zone that has an alarm condition. These messages will remain displayed

user.

Note the zone number displayed on the touchpad and perform a second OFF sequence to clear the "Memory of Alarm" and restore the “Ready” message display. If the Ready message will not display, go to the displayed zone and remedy the fault (close windows, etc.). If the fault cannot be remedied, notify the ADT Customer Care Center.

Your system may include a phone 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 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.

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

If the paging feature has been programmed for your system, a pager will respond to certain conditions as they occur in your system, and display code numbers indicating the type of condition that has occurred.

ABOUT THE TOUCHPADS

General Your touchpads allow you to control all system functions. The touchpads feature a

telephone style (digital) touchpad and a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) which shows the nature and location of all occurrences.

The touchpads feature a built-in sounder which emits alarm sounds during alarm and trouble conditions, and produces warning tones during entry and exit delay periods. The sounder also provides acknowledgment tones when keys are pressed, and confirmation tones for successful command entries.

Touchpad Styles There are two styles of touchpads, Custom Display Touchpads and English Display

Touchpads, either of which may have been used in your system (see page 9). Although different in appearance, both styles are functionally the same, except for their display windows. The keys on these touchpads are located behind a flip-down cover, which can be removed if desired.

• Custom Display Touchpads These feature a 2-line, 32 character alphanumeric Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) which can

display the nature and location of all occurrences in friendly English.

• English Display Touchpads These are functionally similar to the Custom Display touchpads, except that their LCD

display uses pre-designated (fixed) words to identify the nature and location of occurrences.

Unless stated otherwise, all commands and procedures described herein apply equally to both styles of touchpads.

Typical displays that would appear on both Custom Display touchpads and English Display touchpads are depicted throughout this manual.

To Assign, Change, or

Delete User Codes

It is recommended that obvious codes such as 1-1-1-1 or 1-2-3-4 not be assigned.

Temporary users should not be shown how to use any system function that they do not need to know (e.g., how to bypass protection zones).

Duress Code This feature is intended for use when you are forced to disarm or arm the system under

SECURITY CODES

known only to you and yours. This code is used to perform most system functions, including arming and disarming of the system. As an additional safety feature, temporary User Codes can be assigned for use by those not having a need to know the Master code.

Note: The Master code remains in effect even when other user codes are assigned.

IMPORTANT! When performing any of the procedures that follow, do not allow more than 10 seconds to elapse between steps, otherwise the entry will be aborted, and the procedure must be repeated from its beginning.

The Master security code can be used to assign up to 5 secondary User codes. It can also be used to change any User code or to remove (delete) any User code from the system.

To Assign or Change a User Code:

1. Enter your Master code and press the CODE [8] key.

2. Enter the single-digit User Number for whom a code is to be assigned or changed. (User Nos. 3 to 7 may be assigned.)

3. Enter the desired 4-digit code for use by that User Number. The touchpad will beep once when a User code has been successfully entered.

Example:

To Delete a User Code:

Perform steps 1 and 2 above and then stop. In a few moments, the touchpad will beep once, indicating that the existing code has been deleted.

threat. When used, the system will act normally, but can silently notify the Customer Care Center of your situation, if that service has been provided.

The Duress code may be any unused 4-digit code assigned to User Number 8.

To assign a User code to user number 3, key the following:

MASTER CODE + 8 + 3 + DESIRED 4-DIGIT USER CODE.

ENTRY/EXIT DELAYS

General Information Your system has preset time delays, known as exit delay and entry delay. When you arm

your system, the exit delay gives you time to leave through the designated entry/exit door(s) without setting off an alarm.

The Main entry delay gives you time to disarm the system when you re-enter through the designated main entry/exit door. The Secondary entry delay will have been assigned to another type of entry (check with your installer). The system must be disarmed before an entry delay period ends, or an alarm will occur. The touchpad will beep slowly 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 the INSTANT arming mode. This mode can provide greater security while you are sleeping, but should be used with care since an alarm will result if any entry/exit or perimeter protection point is violated (door, window, etc., is opened).

Your Exit and Entry Delay times are as follows:

Exit Delay: 60 seconds Main Entry Delay: 45 seconds

Secondary Entry Delay: 10 seconds

Remember, there will be no entry delay when arming INSTANT.

Exit Delay

Alert Sound

When arming AWAY (see page 18), slow beeps will sound from the touchpad during the exit delay, reminding you to exit. These turn to fast beeps during the final five seconds of the exit time.

These beeps may be silenced by pressing any key on the touchpad after arming.
