WARNING Please Read Carefully
Note to Installers
This warning contains vital information. As the only individual in contact with
system users, it is your responsibility to bring each item in this warning to the
attention of the users of this system.
System Failures
This system has been carefully designed to be as effective as possible. There are
circumstances, however, involving fire, burglary, or other types of emergencies
where it may not provide protection. Any alarm system of any type may be com promised deliberately or may fail to operate as expected for a variety of reasons.
Some but not all of these reasons may be:
Inadequate Installation
■
A security system must be installed properly in order to provide adequate protection. Every i nstallation s hould be eval uated by a se curity profes sional to ensure
that all access points and areas are covered. Lo cks and latches on windows and
doors must be secure and operate as intended. Windows, doors, w alls, ceilings and
other building materials must be of sufficient strength and construction to provide
the level of protection expected. A re evaluation mus t be done during and af ter any
construction activity. An evaluation by the fire and/or police department is highly
recommended if this service is available.
Criminal Knowledge
■
This system contains security features which were known to be effective at the
time of manufacture. It is p ossible for pe rsons with cri minal intent to develop
techniques which reduce the effectiveness of these features. It is important that a
security system be reviewed periodically to ensure that its features remain effective and that it be updated or replaced if it is found that it does not provide the protection expected.
Access by Intruders
■
Intruders may enter through an unprotected access point, circumve nt a sensing
device, evade detection by moving through an area of insufficient coverage, dis connect a warning device, or interf ere with or preven t the proper opera tion of the
system.
Power Failure
■
Control units, intrusion d etectors, smoke detectors and many other security
devices require an adequate power supply for proper operation. If a device operates from batteries, it is possible for the batteries to fail. Even if the batteries have
not failed, th ey must be cha rged, in good condition and installed correctly. If a
device operates only by AC power, any interruption, however brief, will render
that device inoperative while it does not have power. Power interruptions of any
length are often accompanied by voltage fluctuations which may damage electronic equipment such as a security system. Aft er a power inter ruption has
occurred, immed iately conduct a complete system test to ensure that the system
operates as intended.
Failure of Replaceable Batteries
■
This system’s wireless transmitters have been designed to provide several years of
battery life under normal conditions. The expected battery life is a function of the
device environment, usage an d type. Ambient conditions such as high humidity,
high or low temperatures, or large temperature fluctuations may reduce the
expected battery life. While ea ch transmittin g device has a low battery monitor
which identifies when the batteries need to be replaced, this mo nitor may fail t o
operate as expected. Regula r testing and maintenance w ill keep the system in
good operating condition.
Compromise of Radio Frequency (Wireless) Devices
■
Signals may not reach the receiver under all circumstances which could include
metal objects placed on or near the rad io path or de liberate jamm ing or other inadvertent radio signal interference.
System Users
■
A user may not be able to operate a panic or emergency switch possibly due to
permanent or temporary physical disability, inability to reach the device i n time, or
unfamiliarity with the correct operation. It is importan t that all syst em users be
trained in the correct operation of the alarm system and that they know how to
respond when the system indicates an alarm.
Smoke Detectors
■
Smoke detectors that are a part of this system may not properly alert occupants of
a fire for a number of reasons, some of which follow. The smoke detectors may
have been improperly installed or positioned. Smoke may not be able to reach the
smoke detectors, such as when the fi re is in a chimney, walls or roofs, or on the
other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors may no t detect smoke fr om fires on
another level of the residence or building.
Every fire is different in the amount of smoke produced and the rate of burning.
Smoke detectors cannot sense all types of fires equally well. Smok e detectors ma y
not provide timely warning of fires caused by carelessness or safety hazards such
as smoking in bed, violent explos ions, escaping gas, improper sto rage of flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children playin g with match es or
arson.
Even if the smoke detector operates as intended, there may be circumstances when
there is insufficient warning to allow all occupants to escape in time to avoid
injury or death.
Motion Detectors
■
Motion detectors can only detect motion within the designated areas as shown in
their respective installation instructions. They ca nnot discriminat e between intruders and intended occupants. M otion detector s do not provide volumetric ar ea protection. They have multiple beams of detection and motion can only be detected in
unobstructed areas covered by these beams. They cannot detect motion which
occurs behind walls, ceilings, floor, closed doors, glass partitions, glass doors or
windows. Any type of tampering whether intentional or unintentional such as
masking, pain ting, or spraying of any material on the lenses, mirrors , windows or
any other part of the detection system will impair its proper operation.
Passive infrared motion detectors operate by sensing changes in temperature.
However their effectiveness can be reduced when the ambient temperature rises
near or above body temperature or if there are intentional or unintentional sources
of heat in or near the detection area. Some of these heat sources could be heaters,
radiators, stoves, barbeques, fireplaces, sunlight, steam vents, lighting and so on.
Warning Devices
■
Warning devices such as sire ns, bells, horns, or strobes may not war n people or
waken someone sleeping if there is an intervening wall or door. If warning device s
are located on a different level of the residence or premise, then it is less likely that
the occupants will be alerted or awakened. Audible warning devices may be interfered with by other noise sources such as stereos, radios, televisions, a ir conditioners or other appliances, or passing traffic. Audible warning devices, h owever loud,
may not be heard by a hearing-impaired person.
Telephone Lines
■
If telephone lines are used to transmit alarms, they may be out of service or busy
for certain periods of time. Also an intruder may cut the telephone line or defeat its
operation by more sophisticated means which may be difficult to detect.
Insufficient Time
■
There may be circumstances when the system will operate as intended, yet the
occupants will not be protected from the emergency due to their inability to
respond to the warnings in a timely manner. If the system is monit ored, the
response may not occur in time to protect the occupants or their belongings.
Component Failure
■
Although every effort has been made to make this system as reliable as possible,
the system may fail to function as intended due to the failure of a component.
Inadequate Testing
■
Most problems that would prevent an alarm system from operating as intended
can be found by regular testing and maintenance. The com plete system should be
tested weekly and immediately after a break-in, an attempted bre ak-in, a fire, a
storm, an eart hquake, an accident, or any ki nd of construc tion activity inside or
outside the premises. The testing should include all sensing devices, keypads, consoles, alarm indicating devices and any other operational devices that are part of
the system.
Security and Insurance
■
Regardless of its capabilities, an alarm s ystem is not a substitute for property or
life insurance. An alarm system also is not a substitute for property owners, renters, or other occupants to act prudently to prevent o r minimize th e harmful effect s
of an emergency situation.

How Your
System Works
Section 1: Introduction
Your ADT PremisePro security system has been designed to provide you with both flexibility
and convenience. Your installer has set up your system with your business in mind. You may
not need all of the features described in this manual. Your installer will only turn on the features that you need, and should explain all the active features to you. If you have any questions about which features are included on your system, please ask your installer.
NOTE:
tures and is classified with ANSI / SIA CP-01-2000. To comply with this specification,
your installation must have a minimum of two keypads. Please consult your installer
for further information regarding the false alarm reduction features built into your
system as all are not covered in this guide.
Your security system is made up of a ADT PremisePro control panel, one or more PremisePro
keypads, and various sensors and detectors.
The control panel is the “brain” of your security system. It controls and monitors all the keypads and sensors, and communicates with the central station (if remote monitoring is
enabled). The control panel will be mounted out of the way, in a utility closet or in a basement. The metal cabinet contains the system electronics, fuses and stand-by battery. There
is normally no reason for anyone but the installer or service professional to have access to
the control panel.
You will access system functions from your keypad(s), which are described on pages 1 and 2
of this manual. Each keypad has a sounder and five function keys. The LCD5500Z keypad
has a liquid crystal display (LCD) which will show system messages. The LCD5501Z LCD keypad uses fixed messages to display your system’s status. The keypads can send commands
to the system and show the current system status. Your installer will mount the keypad(s)
inside your premises, close to the entry/exit door(s).
The security system has several zones (monitored areas). Each of these zones will be connected to a sensor (motion detectors, glassbreak detectors, door contacts, etc.). If a sensor
goes into alarm, the zone light for that sensor will flash (LCD5501Z keypad), or there will be
a message shown on the LCD5500Z keypad.

NOTICE
Te s ti n g

A security system cannot prevent emergencies. It is only intended to alert you and
– if included – your central station of an emergency situation. Security systems are
generally very reliable but they may not work under all conditions and they are
not a substitute for prudent security practices or life and property insurance. Your
security system should be installed and serviced by qualified security professionals
who should instruct you on the level of protection that has been provided and on
system operations. For important warnings and cautions, please see inside the
back cover.
To make sure your system continues to work as intended, you must test your system weekly.
Please refer to “Testing Your System” on page 16. If your system does not work correctly,
call the service number located on your keypad(s).
Introduction: Remote Monitoring
Remote
Monitoring
Maintenance
This system can send alarms, troubles and emergency messages over telephone lines to a
central station (this must be enabled by your installer). If you accidentally initiate an alarm,
immediately call the central station to prevent an unnecessary response.
By default, an alarm transmission can be cancelled by entering a valid access code within 30
seconds of the alarm.
With normal use, the system requires minimum maintenance. Note the following points:
1. Do not wash the security equipment with a wet cloth. Light dusting with a slightly
moistened cloth should remove normal accumulations of dust.
2. Use the system test described in “Testing Your System” on page 16 to check the battery
condition. We recommend, however, that the standby batteries be replaced every 3 years.
3. For other system devices such as passive infrared, ultrasonic or microwave motion detectors or glassbreak detectors, consult the manufacturer’s literature for testing and maintenance instructions.

Section 2: Arming and Disarming Your System
This section describes how to perform the basic functions of your system: arming and disarming. Read this section carefully.
Getting Ready
to Arm Your
System
Before you arm your system, make sure that the system is Ready. You can tell that the system is ready when the Ready light is ON. If this is the case, you can arm your system - use
one of the arming methods described on pages 7-9.
If the Ready light is ON and the LCD5500Z keypad displays “Secure System or Enter Code”,
you can arm your system. However, some zones on the system are still open. Before arming,
confirm that no zones are left open unintentionally.
If your system is not ready, do the following:
On an LCD5500Z keypad:
1. If the Ready light is OFF, or if the keypad displays “Secure System Before Arming”:
• Close all doors and windows
• Stop motion in all zones with motion detectors
2. If LCD5500Z keypads show “<>”, use the keys to scroll through system messages and check that the system is clear of troubles and that no zones are bypassed
unintentionally. See “Identifying Trouble Conditions” on page 15 and/or“Bypassing Zones” on page 13.
On an LCD5501Z keypad:
1. If the Ready light is OFF, the system is not ready to be armed:
• Close all doors and windows
• Stop motion in all zones with motion detectors
2. If the Trouble light is ON, view and correct any existing troubles. See “Identifying Trouble Conditions” on page 15.
3. If the Bypass indicator is ON, check that no zones are bypassed unintentionally. See
“Bypassing Zones” on page 13.

Arming and Disarming Your System: Arming Your System
Arming Your
System
Away Arming
There are two basic methods for arming your security system.
• Away Arming: Use this method when everyone will be away from the premises. See
below.
• Stay Arming: Use this method when one or more people will stay on the premises. See
page 8.
You can also use any of these methods to arm your system (see pages 10 to 11):
• “No Entry” Arming: Arm your system with no entry delay - use this method when no
one else will be entering the premises.
• Automatic Arming: The system will arm itself at pre-programmed times. This feature
must be turned on by your installer before it will work.
When you arm your system using the Away arming method, both interior zones (e.g.,
motion detectors) and border zones (e.g., door and window contacts) will be active and will
cause an alarm to sound when opened.
1. Check that your system is ready to be armed (Ready light is ON).
2. Press and hold * for 2 seconds.
3. Enter your [access code]. As you enter each digit, the keypad sounder beeps.
If you enter the access code incorrectly, the keypad sounder buzzes steadily for two seconds. Re-enter your access code correctly.
When you enter a valid access code:
• The keypad sounds fast beeps.
• The Armed light turns ON.
• LCD5500Z keypads display “Exit Delay in Progress”.
• The exit delay begins and the keypad beeps once every second until the end of
the exit delay. The keypad beeps quickly for the last 10 seconds of the exit delay.
4. Exit the premises through the entry/exit door.
At the end of the exit delay, all keypad lights, except the Armed light, turn OFF.
LCD5500Z keypads display “System Armed in Away Mode” and “Enter Code to Disarm
System”. The system is now armed.
NOTE:
LCD5501Z keypad Bypass indicator is ON , there are one or more zones bypassed
(i.e., not armed). See “Bypassing Zones” on page 13. If you arm the system with a
zone bypassed or a trouble present, your security protection is reduced.
If LCD5500Z keypads display: “* WARNING * Bypass Active”, or if the

Bell/Siren
Sounds After
Away Arming
Audible Exit Fault
In an attempt to reduce false alarms, the Audible Exit Fault is designed to notify you of an
improper exit when arming the system in the Away mode. In the event that you fail to exit
the premises during the allotted exit delay period, or if you do not securely close the Exit/
Entry door, the system will notify you that it was improperly armed in two ways: the keypad
will emit one continuous beep and the bell or siren will sound.
Your installer will tell you if this feature has been enabled on your system.
If this occurs:
1. Re-enter the premises.
2. Enter your [access code] to disarm the system. You must do this before the entry delay
timer expires.
3. Follow the Away arming procedure again, making sure to close the entry/exit door properly. (See “Away Arming” on page 7.)
Stay Arming
Use the Stay arming method when you want to stay on the premises, but prevent unauthorized entry from outside the premises. The system will arm only the border (e.g., door and
window contacts) zones and will bypass the interior zones (e.g., motion detectors) so that
you will be free to move around inside.
1. Check that your system is ready to be armed (Ready light is ON)
2. Press and hold * for 2 seconds.
3. Enter your [access code]. As you enter each digit, the keypad sounder beeps.
If you entered the access code incorrectly, the keypad sounder buzzes steadily for two
seconds. Re-enter your access code correctly.
When you enter a valid access code:
• The keypad sounds fast beeps.
• The Armed light turns ON.
• LCD5500Z keypads display “Exit Delay in Progress”.
• The exit delay begins and the keypad beeps once every second until the end of
the exit delay. The keypad beeps quickly for the last 10 seconds of the exit delay.
4. At the end of the exit delay, all keypad lights, except the Armed light, turn OFF.
LCD5500Z keypads display “System Armed in Stay Mode” and “Enter Code to Disarm
System”. On LCD5501Z keypads, the Bypass indicator will be ON. The system is now
armed.

NOTE:
When you have re-activated the interior zones, you will not be able to enter
areas protected by motion detectors, or open doors and windows. To access these
areas, you must enter your [access code] and disarm the system.
“No Entry”
Arming
If you want to arm the system, and no one else will be entering, you can remove the entry
delay from zones that normally have one.
An entry through any zone will then create an instant alarm.
1. Check that your system is ready to be armed (Ready light is ON)
2. Press , then your [access code].
• The Armed light flashes as a reminder that the system is armed and has no entry
delay.
• The keypad sounds fast beeps.
• LCD5500Z keypads display “Exit Delay in Progress”.
3. The system is now armed in Stay mode.
9
Automatic
Arming
Your installer may have set up your system to arm at a pre-programmed time. If automatic
arming has been programmed, when the system reaches the programmed auto-arm time,
the keypad buzzers will sound for a programmed number of minutes (Default=5), and
LCD5500Z keypads will display “System Arming in Progress”.
During this warning time, you may be able to cancel or postpone auto-arming by entering
your [access code]. Ask your installer for more information.

time, the system will sound an alarm.
If you entered the access code incorrectly, the keypad sounder buzzes
As soon as the correct code is entered, the Armed light turns OFF and the keypad stops
beeping.
If no alarms occurred while the system was armed and there are no trouble conditions
present, LCD5500Z keypads will display “System Disarmed No Alarm Memory” for a
few seconds, and then “Enter Code to Arm System”. If the system is in alarm and is
silenced by entering the access code, the LCD display may prompt “Communications
Cancelled”. This will notify the user that the alarm has not been sent to the central
monitoring station.
• LCD5501Z keypads will flash the Memory indicator
• LCD5500Z keypads will display “View Memory <> “Zone of Alarm”. See “View-ing Alarms in Memory” on page 11.
If you return and find that an alarm has occurred while you were
away, it is possible that an intruder is still on the premises. Go to a nearby safe
location, and call your central station or the local authorities to investigate.
The alarm memory is cleared each time the panel is armed, so any alarms showing are alarms that occurred only during the last armed period.

Section 4: Using Advanced Functions
This section describes how to perform more specialized functions: bypassing zones, turning the
door chime on or off, viewing the trouble display and testing your system.
NOTE:
your installer.
Your system may have cross zoning enabled. For more information, ask
Bypassing
Zones
Use the zone bypassing feature when you will need access to a protected area while the
system is armed, or when a zone is temporarily out of service, but you need to arm the system. Bypassed zones will not be able to sound an alarm.
Bypassing zones reduces the level of security. If you are bypassing a zone because it is not
working, call a service technician immediately so that the problem can be resolved and your
system returned to proper working order. Make sure that no zones are unintentionally
bypassed when arming your system.
Zones cannot be bypassed once the system is armed. Bypassed zones are automatically cancelled each time the system is disarmed and must be bypassed again, if required, before the
next arming.
NOTE:
prevent you from bypassing certain zones.
Bypassing Zones with an LCD5500Z keypad

Section 6: Glossary
Access codeA 4- or 6-digit code that allows access to arming, disarming and other system functions.
AlarmWhen a zone is violated (e.g., a motion detector senses movement, a door with a contact is
opened), it will trigger an alarm.
Intrusion (burglary) alarm: An alarm triggered by an intrusion detector (e.g., motion
detectors, glassbreak detectors, door/window contacts). Usually occurs when the system is
armed.
Audible exit
fault
A feature that warns you of an improper exit when arming the system in Away mode. Helps
to reduce false alarms (see page 7).
Away armingArming the system so that all the zones (border and interior) are turned on. (Used when
everyone is away from the premises.)
Bypassing
zones
Central
Station
When you bypass a zone, the detector for that zone will no longer monitor activity in the
zone and will not be able to trigger an alarm.
If remote monitoring is enabled, your system will send alarms, troubles and emergency
messages to the central station. The central station will then notify authorities in your area,
if necessary.
DetectorA part of the system that can detect problems and report them to the control panel (e.g., a
motion detector can tell the control panel if there is movement in a zone).
Emergency
Message
A message sent to the central station when one of the pairs of emergency keys () is
pressed and held for two seconds. Your installer must program these keys, or they will not work.
Entry delayA timer programmed by your installer. It starts when you enter an armed area of the system.
You must enter an access code to disarm the system before the timer runs out, or else an
alarm will be triggered.
Entry/exit
doors
Your installer will program the doors you usually use to enter or exit the premises as entry/exit
doors. These doors will be programmed to have entry and exit delays. Keypads will normally
be placed near the entry/exit delay doors for easy access to arming/disarming functions.
Exit delayA timer programmed by your installer. It starts when you arm your system, to allow you a
period of time in which to leave the premises. At the end of the exit delay, the system will
be armed.
19
Master codeThe master code is a 4- or 6- digit access code that is used to program system options, to
arm and disarm the system, and to program other access codes.
Partition A group of zones that can be turned on or off together. Certain access codes may have
access to only some partitions. See Zone.
Stay armingArming the system so that only the border zones are turned on. (Used when one or more
people will stay on the premises.)
Tro u bleThe control panel continuously checks the system for conditions that may reduce its effec-
tiveness. If the control panel finds one of these conditions (trouble), it will indicate this at
the keypad(s) to alert users to the problem. See “Identifying Trouble Conditions” on page 15
for a list of possible trouble conditions.
ZoneA limited area of the premises monitored by a detector (e.g., door/window contact, motion
detector, glassbreak detector, etc.).
Border zone: A zone that detects intrusion from outside the premises (e.g., door contact
on an outside door, glassbreak detector, etc.).
Interior zone: A zone that detects intruders that have already entered (e.g., door contact
on an interior door between rooms, motion detector, etc.).
