IMPORTANT!

PROPER INTRUSION PROTECTION

For proper intrusion coverage, sensors should be located at every possible point of 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).

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.

Burglary Protection

Chime Feature

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, ABOUT THE TOUCHPADS.

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 ARMING THE SYSTEM sections 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.

	SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Alarms	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.
Memory of Alarm	The touchpad displays the zone number and type of alarm for any zone that has an alarm
	condition. These messages will remain displayed even after disarming until cleared by a
	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.

Phone Access & Voice Response Capability (Optional)

Paging Feature

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.

For detailed information, refer to PAGING FEATURE on page 25.

	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.

General

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

SECURITY CODES

At the time of installation, your installer programmed a personal four-digit Master code, 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 assign a User code to user number 3, key the following:

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

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.

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 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.

SECURITY CODES (Continued)

Duress Code (Con’d)

CAUTION:

Use of a Duress code may inadvertently cause a Duress signal to be sent to the Customer Monitoring Center.

Extreme caution must be used in using this feature to prevent false alarms.

To Change Your Master

Code

To program a Duress code:

Enter your Master Code + 8 + 8 + [desired 4-digit duress code]. The touchpad will beep once, indicating acceptance.

Important: The Duress code must differ from the Master Code or any other User’s Code!

To change the Duress code:

Enter Master Code + 8 + 8 + [new 4-digit duress code].

To delete the Duress code:

Enter your Master Code + 8 + 8, and then stop.

When the touchpad beeps once it signifies that the code has been deleted.

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

2.Enter “2”.

3.Enter your new Master code.

4.Enter your new Master code again. The touchpad will beep 3 times, indicating acceptance.

Example: MASTER CODE + 8 + 2 + NEW MASTER CODE + NEW MASTER CODE again

“Quick Arming”				If your system supports "Quick Arming", the [#] key can be pressed in place of the security
Using the				code when arming the system. The security code is always required, however, when
	#	Key
				disarming the system. Ask your installer if "Quick Arming" is active for your system; if so,
			== check here.

Smartphone

PHONE ACCESS CODE (if applicable)

If your system includes a Smartphone module, your installer will have programmed a 2-digit phone access code for your system, which you should record in the boxes on the left.

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

– 11 –

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:	6 0	seconds	Main Entry Delay:	4 5	seconds
				Secondary Entry Delay:
					1 0	seconds
				Remember, there will be no entry delay when
				arming INSTANT.
Exit Delay	When arming AWAY (see page 18), slow beeps will sound from the touchpad during the
Alert Sound	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.

CHECKING FOR OPEN ZONES

Using the

READY Key

Before arming your system, all protected doors, windows and other protection zones must be closed or bypassed (see BYPASSING PROTECTION ZONES section), otherwise the touchpad will display a "Not Ready" message, and the READY indicator light on your touchpad will not be lit. The READY key can be used to display all faulted zones, making it easier for you to secure any open zone.

To display faulted zones, simply press and release the READY [ ] key (do not enter code first).

Secure or bypass the zones displayed before arming the system.

A "Ready" message will be displayed when all protection zones have been either closed or bypassed and the touchpad's READY indicator light will be lit. The system can then be

armed if desired.
