Sensors

Indoor Motion Sensors detect motion in a protected indoor area. When motion is detected the panel may respond by sounding chimes or an alarm.

Outdoor Motion Sensors detect motion in a protected outdoor area. When motion is detected, the system may respond by sounding chimes or turning on outside lights. These sensors are not used for intrusion detection.

Door/Window Sensors detect the opening of a door or window.

Smoke Sensors detect smoke and a significant rise in temperature. They have a built in siren that sounds when smoke or a significant rise in temperature is detected.

Freeze Sensors detect furnace failure. If the insi de temperature drops below 41

°F, the sensor will notif y the

panel. The sensor will s end a restore signal to the p anel when the temperature rises to 50°F.

Carbon Monoxide Sensors detect carbon monoxide. They have a built in siren that sounds when carbon monoxide is detected.

Modules

Appliance Modules can be programmed to turn appliances or fluorescent lights on and off.

Lamp Modules can be programmed to turn non-fluorescent lights on and off.

Universal Modules are primarily used for controlling devices other than appliances and lamps. Check with your installer for other applications.

Security System Components

The security system uses devices called sensors that use radio waves to communicate alarms to the Control Panel (panel).

The system is supervised, meaning that the panel checks the status of each sensor to detect problems. If the panel detects trouble it will notify you with beeps and indicator lights on the panel itself.

Your security system installation may include any of the following devices:

Control Panel

The Control Panel is used to operate and program your security system. It communicates to you through voice messages, beeps, and by lighting or flashing buttons. The panel can communicate to a central monitoring station, numeric pager, or both.

Touchpads

Remote Handheld Touchpads are used to control the security system primarily from within the home.

Keychain Touchpads are used to control the security system from within or near the outside of your home.

Audio Verification Module (AVM) is primarily used by the central monitoring station to monitor sounds and verbally communicate with a person inside the home. This feature is similar to a speaker phone feature on a phone.

How You Communicate to Your System

Sending commands or instructing your security system is done through key presses on the panel, touchpads, or through the use of a remote telephone.

Control Panel

You can enter commands for your security system thro ugh simple key presses on the panel. Depending on how your system is programmed, you may need to enter an access code for certain commands. An access code is a numeric code that allows authorization to operate your security system.

Note

The Master Access Code default is 1-2-3-4 when the security system is shipped from the factory. You should change your code after your system is installed (see “Programming Your System”).

This touchpad gives you the option to enter commands from any room in your house. You can enter commands through simple key presses on the touchpad.

Keychain Touchpad

Keychain Touchpads are handy for simple arming and disarming functions. They are portabl e and can be carried offsite in a purse or pocket

Telephone

Touchtone telephones can be used to communicate with your system while you are off-site. Ask your installer if you have this feature.

How to Use Your Control Panel

The panel interface consists of four rows of buttons.

❑ HOME SECURITY ❑ CODE ❑ HOME CONTROL ❑ EMERGENCY

Note

It may be necessary to enter an access code to arm your system. Check with your installer to see if this feature is enabled.

HOME SECURITY

Exit Delay

Exit Delay is the amount of time the system gives you to exit the home before the system is armed (between 5 and 254 seconds). This is programmed by the installer. When you arm you will hear beeps during the exit delay (see the table “Status Beeps” of this manual to determine the meaning of panel/system beeps).

Your Exit Delay is set for ___ seconds.

Entry Delay

Entry Delay is the amount of time the system gives you to disarm the system after entering the home. This is programmed by the installer. When you enter your home you will hear beeps during the entry delay (see the table “Sta- tus Beeps” of this manual to determine the meaning of panel/system beeps).

Your Entry Delay is set for ___ seconds.

Quick Exit

The Quick Exit feature is used when someone wants to briefly leave while the home is still armed (i.e. get the newspaper). This feature needs to be enabled by your installer. When you press the Disarm button the panel will announce exit time on. This will allow a designated exit door to be open for up to 2 minutes without triggering an alarm.

Note

The designated door may be opened and closed once. If you close the designated door behind you when you exit, you will have to disarm the system upon reentering. Leave the designated door open while using the Quick Exit feature.

The Home Security buttons are used to arm and disarm doors, windows and motion sensors in your system. The System Status button is used to give informati on on system activity.

Arm

Turn on i ntrusion/bu rglary p rotection for y our system. You can arm door/window sensors, motion sensors or both depending on the buttons you press.

Disarm

Turn off intrusion/burglary protection for your system. Only intrusion/burglary sensors such as doors/windows and motion are disarmed. Environmental sensors, such as smoke and carbon monoxide stay armed at all times.

System S tatus

Press to hear information about your system. If the button is lit, there is a problem with the system. If the button is blinking, an alarm has occurred. Press the button to hear what is wrong with the system. (See “Status Beeps”.)

Latchkey

Latchkey is used to notify parents, via a numeric pager, if children do not arrive home at a predetermined time and disarm the system. For example, you set the La tchkey time for 3:00 pm. If the system isn’t disarmed by that time a message is sent to your numeric pager (see “Numeric Pager”).

Subdisarm

If your syste m includes 24-hour protect ion sensors on items such as gun or jewelry cases, you must subdisarm the panel before accessing these areas to avoid causing an alarm.

Arming Your System with Doors & Windows Closed
