Introduction and Safety
Safety Planning
Planning for an Emergency
Contact your local police department, fire department, doctor, and alarm dealer for advice on
handling household emergencies. Ensure that
every member of your household or business
knows exactly what to do if an emergency occurs.
Plan in advance how each person should
respond to an alarm.
signals, make sure everyone is familiar with them,
and make a plan for each person. If you have
children, be sure that you instruct them carefully
and that they understand. Establish a meeting
place outside the building, so you can account for
everyone in case of fire or other emergency.
Practice safety procedures so that everyone can
respond quickly in a crisis.
In case of a fire alarm, everybody should leave
the building immediately
escape routes and meet at a planned location.
If You Hear an Audible Alarm When You Return
If you return to an audible alarm, do not enter the
building. You might be walking into a fire or an
intruder might still be inside. Go to a neighbor or
public phone and call the fire department or police.
Testing Your Alarm System Weekly
Test your alarm system every week. Be sure to
use the procedures on page 22, to prevent false
alarms.
Fire Protection
To Reduce the Risk of Fire
Minimize hazards:
Store flammable materials properly. Avoid
cleaning with flammable liquids such as gasoline. If at all possible, prohibit explosive or
burning materials in your building.
Keep all areas clear of debris. A cluttered attic,
basement, or storage area increases the risk of
fire.
Discuss the different alarm
by way of planned
fast-
Do not leave children unattended.
l
Do not overload electrical outlets.
l
If you have installed this system in a building
where children or invalids are present, the fire
department can provide you with window decals
that indicate where to look first in the event of a
fire.
If the Smoke Alarm “Beeps” Repeatedly
The Supervised Smoke Detector beeps once every
14 seconds when the batteries are low. Replace
the batteries immediately (see page 17).
If the Smoke Alarm Is Triggered
Smoke detectors warn you of a fire in its early
stages, so that you can escape the building before
smoke reaches a dangerous concentration level.
When the smoke alarm is triggered, the Supervised Smoke Detector’s internal siren sounds and
the smoke detector transmits the alarm to the
Communication Control Unit (CCU). Also, the On/
Alarm light in the center of the Supervised Smoke
Detector Transmitter glows steadily. (During
normal operation, this On/Alarm light flashes about
once every 7 seconds.) Immediately follow the
evacuation instructions given below. If your
security system is connected to a central monitoring service, an emergency call will be initiated.
Evacuation Procedures
Do not panic-escape may depend upon clear
thinking.
Get out of the building following planned escape
routes, if possible. Do not stop to collect valuables.
Open doors carefully only after feeling them to
see if they are hot. If a door is hot, do not open
it-follow an alternate escape route.
Keep close to the floor-smoke and hot gases
rise.
Keep doors and windows closed unless it is
necessary to open them to escape.
Meet at a pre-established meeting place after
leaving the building.
Never reenter a burning building. Use a
neighbor’s phone or a street fire alarm box to
call the fire department.
How the System Operates
Your AT&T Security System 8300 has been
customized to fit your particular needs. Be sure to
refer to the checklist on page 1 if you are uncertain
whether your system includes a particular component or feature.
Communication Control Unit (CCU)
The Communication Control Unit is the center of
your security system. Using house current, or a
backup battery during a power failure, it powers
your entire wired system. It monitors all sensors,
wired and wireless, and generates all alarms. If
you have a monitoring service, it will use your
phone line to report any alarms.
Display Control Keypad
The Display Control Keypad is the system compo-
nent that you use to program, arm and disarm your
system. With a Level 1 access code (see page
you can arm your system, disarm it, bypass
sensors, generate alarms, cancel alarms, remove
alarms from the display, silence trouble beeps, add
or delete access codes, and more. The Display
Control Keypad can be set up to operate as a
telephone or an intercom. For more information on
the Display Control Keypad, see page 4.
7),
Sensors
The various sensors monitor the conditions in your
building. Depending on your needs, they can be
set up to detect entry and exit from the building,
motion within the building, and smoke or fire
conditions. They can also monitor environmental
conditions, such as water in your cellar, excessive
heat, or a power failure.
When the sensor reports an alarm or trouble
condition, the Display Control Keypad will tell you
what type of problem exists and it will give you a
description of the affected sensor or sensor group.
Each sensor can be set to react differently in each
Level of Protection. For example, if your system is
set to
front door is opened. If it is set to
you might want it to generate an alarm. If your
system is set to Off, you might want nothing to
happen when the door is opened. Your dealer will
set each sensor, according to your needs.
Some sensors can be set to generate delayed
alarms. This is usually the way a front door sensor
is set. This enables you to enter the premises and
enter your access code at a keypad, before an
alarm is triggered. The keypad will beep while the
system is in the delayed alarm state, unless
silenced by your dealer.
The following sections of this book will help you
operate your system correctly, and help you
identify and correct any problems you may encounter.
Monitoring Service

Night,
Most systems have a monitoring service. When an
alarm or other problem occurs, your system will
contact your monitoring service and they will notify
the police, fire department, or anyone else who
may be needed.
Your monitoring service may have the ability to
arm your system or bypass a faulty sensor through
your phone connection.
NOTE: These options are not available in UL
approved installations.
Some services also provide Opening and Closing
Reports. This option provides monitoring of all
activity on your premises, such as someone
changing the Level of Protection, when your
building should not be occupied.
about your monitoring service’s capabilities.
NOTE: If you do not have a monitoring service,
any reference to one in this manual does not
apply to your system.
Ask your dealer
Supervision
Your dealer can program your system to monitor
the phone line and generate a trouble warning
under various conditions. To avoid troublesome
warnings over short-term outages, most warnings
will not occur until the system detects a real (long
term) problem.

System Programming
Display Control Keypad
Model 8345
In order to operate your system correctly, you need
to be familiar with the Display Control Keypad.
Please read this section carefully and keep it
handy as a reference source
There can be up to four levels of access codes
programmed into your system. In order to operate
all the features available, you need a Level 1
access code (see page 7).
NOTE: Do not write your access code in this book
or anywhere that an intruder could find it. With
this Level 1 access code, a person can disarm
your system.
Some of the following features may not be included
in your system. Consult the checklist on page 1 if
you are not sure whether your system includes a
particular feature.
NOTE: In some installations, your dealer may
include the Multi-Try Lockout option. If you have
this option, the system will not accept any
access code for a period of time after a number
of invalid codes are tried. This is to prevent
someone from trying to guess your code. Check
the list on page 1 to determine if your system is
programmed this way.
To Arm The System:
1
Enter your access code. The keypad will beep
each time you press a number.
2
Press the button for the Level of Protection
(Night, Away, or Day) that you want to set the
system to. The keypad will beep, the Arm/Alarm
light will flash for a short time and the display will
show the Level of Protection you have chosen in
the display.
NOTE: In some installations, your dealer may
include the Abbreviated Arming option. This
allows you to arm your system, after entering
just the first number of your access code.
Check the list on page 1 to determine if your
system is programmed this way.
NOTE: In commercial UL applications, each
arming is followed by a momentary sounding of
the alarm bell as an acknowledgment from the
monitoring service and verification of the alarm
sound. If your system has this feature and you
don’t hear the alarm, do not leave the premises.
Call for service immediately.

To Generate An Instant Emergency Alarm:
Simultaneously, press and hold the two buttons
marked EMERGENCY, until the system beeps.
This will sound an instant alarm and send a
message to your monitoring service that an emer-
gency situation exists. The monitoring service will
react according to instructions from you or your
dealer. For example, the monitoring service can
be instructed to call an ambulance and a particular
doctor. Check the list on page 1 to see how your
monitoring service will react when this alarm is
sounded.
NOTE:
To Generate an Ambush Alarm:
The Ambush Feature is designed to protect you in
the event that you must unwillingly cancel an
intrusion alarm or disarm the system. Should an
intruder force you to cancel an alarm or disarm the
system, enter your access code, but add one to the
first digit. For example, if your code is l-2-3-4,
enter 2-2-3-4.
After you press OFF, any audible alarm will immediately go silent and the system will respond
normally, but it will continue to dial your monitoring
service and report a special Ambush Alarm.
During this period, all other system functions, such
as changing Levels of Protection, will operate
normally.
Your dealer can disarm the Police and
Emergency buttons, if you do not want them to
be active.
This will sound an instant alarm and send a signal
to your monitoring service to send the police.
