About This User’s Guide

This user’s guide shows you how to use and maintain your security
system. It covers basic system funct ions, such as turning the system on
and off.

The functions described in this guide are programmed by your securit y
company. Some of them may not be included in your system. Some of
the functions covered may require you to enter your personal passcode.

Introduction

Your system helps to secure life, property, and investments against fire,
theft, and bodily harm. It consists of a keypad (or keypads), sensors
(such as motion detectors or devices located on doors and windows),
and other sensing devices designed to detect the presence of smoke or
combustion. Each of these devices is connected to a sophisticated
electronic “brain,” which processes all events re g istered by the system.

Control of your security system is achieved through the keypad, which
offers a variety of basic and advanced features. Its function, versatility,
and ease of operation make it ideal for home or office. The keypad is
tailored to meet your individual needs. Moreover, it has been designed
with you, the user, in mind.

Security System Basics

What is a Point?

A “point” is a detection device, or group of devices connected to your
security system. The keypad shows point status through the lights
numbered 1 to 8 on the keypad display. Each point can represent a
single door, window, motion sensor, smoke detec tor, or other detection
device.

What is a “Faulted” Point?

When a point (such as a door or window) is closed, it is said to be
“normal.” When the door or window is open, the point is said to be
“faulted,” or not normal. When you turn your system on, you will
usually want all of the points in your system to be normal. You can turn
your system on with faulted points by using the Bypassing Points (on
page 16) procedure.

The keypad shows faulted points by lighting the point status display
(numbered one through eight).

Are All Points the Same?

No. There are two basic ty pes of points, Controlled and 24-hour.

Controlled Points

Controlled points respond to alarm conditions depending upon whether
the system is turned on or turned off. They are programmed to either
respond instantly to alarm conditions or to provide a delay for you to
reach the keypad and turn the system off. Various controlled points may
be located throughout your house. When you turn your system on, you
can turn on all controlled points (All On) or just some of the controlled
points (Part On).

All On

When you turn your system All On, you are turning on all controlled
points, both interior (motion detectors) and exterior (doors and
windows of the building).

Part On

When you turn your system Part On, you are turning on a portion of the
controlled points. The particular points included in this portion are
determined by your alarm company. Part points may include only the
exterior (doors and windows) of your system, or the points on the first
floor of a two-story house. Check with your security company to learn
which points are Part points.

5

24-Hour Points

24-hour points are always on, even when the system is turned off. There
are two types of 24-hour points: Fire and Non-Fire points.

Fire Points

Fire points only monitor fire detection devices, such as smoke detectors.
They are always on and cannot be turned off.

Non-Fire 24-Hour Points

Non-fire points are always on and cannot be turned off.

Keypad Keys

Your keypad has fifteen keys. These keys perform various functions, as
described below.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0

Each of the numeric keys performs a different function. For a
description of each, refer to the section of this guide that describes the
various system functions.

Keypad Lights

The keypad uses lights to indicate various conditions, such as whether
your system is on or off, the status of protective points, whe ther there is
a system trouble, and whether there is an alarm.

Light Function

On Lights when the system is All or Part On. Flashes during

exit delay and when an alarm occurs

No Delay Lights when the system is All or Part On without entry or

exit delay. Flashes during Step Outside function.

1 to 8 Point lights show the status of each point. When a point

light is on steadily, that point was turned on. When the
point light is blinking, the point is faulted. When the point
light is flashing, an alarm is indicated.

All Lights when the system is All On. When the system is off,

the All light comes on when all points are ready to turn on
(no doors or windows are open). Blinks when turning All
On with door or windows open.

Part Lights when the system is Part On. When the system is off,

lights when Part points are ready to turn on. Flashes when
changing passcodes.

OK Flashes when an alarm occurs. Blinks when there is system

trouble.

7

Keypad Tones

Your keypad emits several distinct tones and flashes keypad lights to
alert you to system events. Additional bells or sirens may also be
connected to your system. Bells or sirens mounted on the exterior of
your premises alert neighbors to emergencies and provide an audible
guide for police and fire fighters.

1. Fire Alarm T one: When a fire point activates, the keypad
repeatedly emits a warble tone that is on for 1 sec., then briefly
off.

2. Burglary Alarm T o ne: When a burglary point activates while
your system is turned on, your keypad emits a continuous
warble tone. The tone sounds for the time set by your security
company .

3. Trouble Tone: When a system comp onent is not functioning
properly, your keypad repeatedly emits a warble tone that is on
briefly, followed by a pause, followed by the warble tone. If the
problem is with a point, the system display indicates which point
is faulted.

4. Keypress Tone: Pressing any key on the keypad sounds a short
pip, indicating that the entry is accepted.

5. Entry Delay Tone: When you enter the premises through a point
programmed for entry delay, the keypad emits a repeating short
beep, long beep tone to remind you to tur n off your system. If
the system is not turned off before the entry delay expires, an
alarm report may be sent to your alarm company.

6. Exit Delay Tone: After you turn your system on, the keypad
emits an intermittent beep tone and counts down the exit delay
time. If you do not exit before the delay time expires, and an exit
delay door is faulted, an alarm occurs.

7. Error Tone: If you press an incorrect key, your ke ypad emits an
error tone to indicate an invalid entry. The error tone is the same
warble tone as the trouble tone, but it is not repeated.

8. OK Tone: Indicates that a keypad entry is accepted; for example,
that a correct passcode was entered. The keypad emits a single,
high-pitched beep tone for 1 second.

9. Watch Tone: The keypad emits a tone to alert you when any
watched point is faulted. The tone varies in duration, depending
upon the watch tone selected (see Selecting Watch Tone on page

8

19).

System Events

Your system responds to four types of events. If more than one event
occurs, your system sorts them into one of four groups. The groups
(highest priority first) are: Fire Alarms, Burglary Alarms, Fire Troubles,
and Non-Fire Troubles.

Fire Alarms

Fire alarms are the highest priority events. When a fire point activates,
your keypad repeatedly emits a warble tone that is on for one second,
then briefly off. Evacuate all occupants and investigate for smoke or fire.
Ensure that all occupants know the difference between the burglary tone
and the fire tone. The tone sounds for the time set by your security
company .

The keypad lights the point lights of the points that go into alarm.

Burglary Alarms

Burglary alarms are the second priority. When a burglary point activates
while your system is turned on, your keypad emits a constant warble
tone. The tone sounds for the time set by your security company.

The keypad lights the point lights of the points that go into alarm.

Fire Trouble Events

When a fire trouble (such as a loose wire) occurs, your keypad repeatedly
emits a trouble tone, which is a warble tone that is on briefly, then
followed by a pause, followed by the warble tone.

The keypad display blinks the OK light to indicate the presence of
system trouble. See Checking System Troubles (on page 21) to determine
the nature of the trouble.

Non-Fire Trouble Events

When a trouble event such as a power failure occurs, your keypad
repeatedly emits a trouble tone, which is a warble tone that is on briefly,
followed by a pause, followed by the warble tone.

The keypad display blinks the OK light to indicate the presence of a
system trouble. See Checking System Troubles (on page 21) to determine
the nature of the trouble.

How Your System Reports Alarms

Your security system may be progr amme d to automatical ly disconnect
your telephones when sending reports to your security company. Once
the report is completed, your security system returns the telephones to
normal operation (check with your security company).

Your system makes repeated attempts to send reports to your security
company. In the event your system fails to report, the keypad signals a
system trouble. Follow the (Chec king Sy ste m Troubles on page 21)
procedure.

Note: If your telephone serv ice is inte rrupted, your security system

cannot send reports to your security c ompany unless it has an
alternate means of transmitting them.

Silencing Alarms

When there is an alarm, the alarm tone sounds and the point or points
in alarm light up. If you enter your passcode before the system dials your
alarm company, the alarm is canceled.

1. When an alarm occurs, the OK light and point lights (1 through

8) flash. For example if point 4 produces the alarm event, then
point 4 flashes:

2. Enter your passcode to silence the alarm. If you enter your
passcode before the system dials your alarm company, the alarm
is canceled and the OK light stops flashing. If the OK light
continues to flash, an alarm report was sent to your alarm
company.

3. Use Viewing Alarm Memory (on page 17) to review the points
that caused the alarm. Use Resetting The System (on page 18) to
reset the OK light and clear alarm memory.

10

Turning the System Off

You turn off your security system by entering your personal passcode.
When the system is on, you must enter through a desig nated entry door
to prevent an instant alarm condition. Opening a designated door starts
entry delay time and the keypad emits a pulsing beep tone to remind
you to turn the system off. Enter your passcode before the delay time
expires to turn the system off.

If you enter through the wrong door or fail to turn the system off before
the entry delay time expires, you may cause an alarm. If this happens,
silence the alarm (by entering your personal passcode) and call your
security company to let them know that it is not an emergency situation.

1. When the system is on, the On light is lit. If the system is All On,

the All light is lit.

If the system is Part On, the On and Part lights are lit.

2. Enter your passcode to turn the system off. The keypad emits the

OK tone.
