1.0 System Overview
A security system usually consists of:
•A Control Panel: The control panel is the center
of your intrusion/fire alarm system. It supports
vital functions such as receiving trouble and alarm
signals from detectors, sounding of bells, sirens, or
both, and communicating with your alarm
monitoring company.
monitoring service, you must understand:
• alarms sound only at your location
• no signals are sent when an alarm
occurs
• duress and other silent alarms are
disabled
• emergency alarms sound only at your
location
•Keypads: The keypad is where you interact with
the system. The keypad allows you to initiate
commands, such as arming and disarming, and
displays critical information about the operation of
your alarm system. Your system can have one or
more wired and wireless keypads.
•Protected Zones: Your security system can
contain protected windows and doors (perimeter

3.0 Understanding Areas
(Partitions)
Your alarm system might be partitioned.
A partitioned system is a system that is divided into
two to eight areas that you can arm and disarm
independently. Each keypad and keyfob can be
assigned to arm and disarm individual areas or the
entire system. Only your installing company can
change the areas that a keypad or keyfob controls.
If a keypad is set to arm and disarm the entire system,
you can assign user codes (PINs) to arm and disarm
individual areas. Refer to Section 8.0 Personal Identification Numbers (PINs) on page 23 for more
information.
The following applies in a partitioned system:
•User PIN numbers are always required to perform
operations in a partitioned system.
•If the user PIN has authority in only one area,
using that PIN on any keypad performs arming
and disarming commands only for the area in
which the user has authority.
•If the user PIN has authority in more than one
area, the user can arm or disarm those areas by
entering the commands from any keypad.
•If the user PIN has authority in more than one
area, the user can arm or disarm the first area only by entering the PIN number, [##], and the
arming/disarming command, the second area only by entering the PIN number, [####], and the
arming/disarming command, and so on.
•If custom arming (PIN [#][4]) is used in a
Partitioned system, the following apply:
- Users with access to all areas can custom arm
all zones.
- Users with access to all areas cannot custom
arm a single area.
- Users with access to one area can custom arm
any zones in that area, but cannot arm
common zones or zones in other areas.
•LCD (Text) keypads alternately display (about
every 2 seconds) the current status of each area.
•LED keypads alternately display (about every
2 seconds) the current status of each area using the
LEDs.
Refer to Section 4.0 Understanding the Text and LED Keypads on page 5 for details.
•Only users with access to all areas attached to a
common zone can arm that common zone.

6.1.6 Normal Disarming
Please read Section 7.0 Emergency Procedures on page 19 before you are confronted with an emergency event. If you
entered the building through a perimeter door, you might hear a steady entry alert tone from the wired keypads.
If so, disarm according to the chart below.
If an alarm occurred sometime before your arrival, one or more of these happens:
• The bells and sirens sound.
• The wired keypads issue a pulsed tone during the entry delay instead of the usual steady tone.
• The red Armed LED on any LED keypad flashes.
• The red Armed LED on any text keypad flashes and “Zone Alarm” is displayed.
If the alarm is not yet investigated, do not enter the building unless accompanied by the appropriate
Emergency Services’ personnel.

6.2 Optional Operations
6.2.1 Quick Arming
Quick arming allows you to enter some arming commands without first entering a PIN. If quick arming is not
used, you must enter a PIN at the beginning of all arming command sequences.
Quick arming is not available from a Master keypad or from RF (wireless) keypads.
The following shortcuts are allowed when the system is programmed for quick arming:

Perimeter Arming – entry/exit delay in effect [#][Perimeter Only]
Maximum Security Arming [#][No Entry][On]
6.2.2 Force Arming
When one or more zones are faulted (for example, if a window or door is open), the system can be force armed (if
programmed) by bypassing the faulted zones. When a text keypad displays “Not Ready” and the zone LED(s) on
an LED keypad for the faulted zone(s) are lit, force arming is required to arm the system. Although an RF3341
keypad does not indicate a faulted state on the system, you can force arm the system from an RF3341 keypad.
You can also force arm an area using a master keypad in Single Partition Mode.
Force Arming during an AC power failure: Regular arming of the control panel is not permitted during an
AC power failure. The requirement to force arm serves as a warning that the control panel is operating under
backup battery.
Bypassing or force arming removes some of your building’s protection because it excludes the faulted
zones from arming. Therefore, an intrusion might not be detected or the detection might be delayed.
Always attempt to correct any zone problems (close doors and windows, etc.) before using these
features. If you cannot correct the problem, contact your installing company.

6.2.3 Zone Bypass
There might be occasions when you need to temporarily bypass one or more zones before arming the system.
Bypass commands only work when the control panel is disarmed. For example, an open window can cause the
text keypad to display “Not Ready” followed by the zone number. The LED keypad might have one of its zone
LEDs on steady.
You must be in Single Partition Mode to bypass from a Master keypad. Bypassing without arming is not allowed
from an RF (wireless) keypad. If more than one zone requires bypassing, enter the additional zone numbers.
Refer to Section 6.2.2 Force Arming on page 13 for another method to bypass zones.

6.2.4 Automatic Arming
You can program each area to arm automatically once per day. You cannot program automatic arming from an
RF (wireless) keypad. Programming automatic arming in Master Keypad mode affects all areas you have access to.
If you program automatic arming in single area mode or from a single area keypad, it affects only the area you are
working in.
Do this procedure at a text keypad because no visual clues are provided from an LED keypad.

1:00 am = 0100# 1:00 pm = 1300#
Disabled = 0000#
6.2.5 Delaying Automatic Arming
When automatic arming is set, a pre-arming period begins 15 minutes before the system arms automatically to
inform occupants that the system is about to arm. The keypad sounders, and any outputs programmed to follow
the keypad sounders, pulse five times every minute. During the last five minutes before arming, these sounders are
on steady. Once per minute the keypad (text keypad only) displays “Arm in nn min./PIN OFF - extend.”
To delay automatic arming during the pre-arming period, use the appropriate command sequence from the table.
To extend the automatic arming time at any time, use the delayed arming feature.
An RF3341 keypad gives no indication of the pre-arming period and cannot be used to delay automatic
arming.

6.2.6 Automatic Disarming
You can program each area to disarm automatically once per day. You cannot program automatic disarming from
an RF (wireless) keypad.
If your program automatic disarming in Master Keypad mode, it affects all areas you have access to. If
programmed in single area mode, or from a single area keypad, it affects only the area you are working in.
Do this procedure at a text keypad because no visual clues are provided from an LED keypad.

Disabled = 0000#
6.2.7 Delayed Arming
Delayed arming causes the system to arm after a specified number of hours. Delayed arming is not available from
RF (wireless) keypads. You can use delayed arming even if there are no automatic arming times programmed. If
delayed arming is used in Master Keypad mode, it affects all areas you have access to. If it is used in Single
Partition Mode, or from a single area keypad, it affects only the area you are working in.
Delayed arming overrides the automatic arming time. Delayed arming also provides a 15-minute prearming period like the one provided with automatic arming.

Your system might use a keypad key sequence to activate other electrical devices. Access control is not available
from an RF (wireless) keypad or from the keyfobs. Refer to Access Code on page 24.
This feature can be used in armed or disarmed modes.
The special PIN required to perform this function is known as an Access Control PIN. This PIN can control
devices that are activated for a short period of time (for example, electric locking mechanisms on a door). Access
PIN activations are recorded in the History Buffer.

7.5 Fire Alarms
7.0 Emergency Procedures
7.1 Identifying Alarm Sounds
Your alarm system might be programmed for a steady
alarm sound or a pulsed alarm sound. It is important to
learn the difference between a fire alarm sound and an
intrusion alarm sound before you are confronted with
an actual emergency.
7.2 Silencing Alarms
All alarms can be silenced with a PIN that has disarm
privileges. Enter your [PIN][Off] (or [PIN][#] from an
RF3341 keypad) to silence the alarm and turn off
(disarm) the control panel.
7.3 A Cautionary Note
How you respond to an alarm depends, mostly, on the
type and time of the alarm. You should seek the advice
of your installing company as it installs your system,
not later (that is, after an alarm) to develop a response
plan.
If there is any threat or hint of danger to yourself or
others in the building, such as in the event of a fire
alarm, instruct everyone to leave immediately. Do not
enter the building unless accompanied by the
appropriate Emergency Services' personnel, or after
they have given the OK to enter.
7.4 Caution When Entering a Building
An alarm occurred if one or more of these conditions is
true:
• The bells and sirens are on
• The red Armed LED is flashing and the text
keypad displays “Zone Alarm”
•One or more of the LED keypad’s zone LEDs are
flashing.
The wired keypad also issues a pulsed tone during the
entry delay instead of the usual steady tone.
The RF3341 Keypads do not indicate that
an alarm is occurring or has occurred. With
If the alarm was not investigated, do not enter the
building unless accompanied by the appropriate
Emergency Services’ personnel.
these keypads, you must rely on signals
from other system devices to notify you of
an alarm.
Fire alarms are silenced by entering a [PIN] (with
disarm privileges) the [Off] key. The fire alarm system
is not reset until smoke detectors alarms are cleared by
using the [System Reset] command. The fire alarm
system is not functional until this procedure has been
followed. Refer to Fire Reset below.
7.6 Fire Reset
During a fire alarm, exit the building immediately.
When it is determined there is no fire, you must silence
the bells and sirens before you can initiate the [System
Reset] command.
[PIN][System Reset]
Before using the [System Reset] command, identify
which smoke detector alarmed so the monitoring
company can verify its operation.
Although you can silence alarms from an
RF3341 Keypad, you cannot reset the
system from an RF3341 Keypad.
Enter a [PIN] and press the [System Reset] key to reset
any smoke detectors after a fire alarm occurs.
To use the System Reset command
sequence, your PIN must have disarm
privileges.
The System Reset command performs a fire reset, a
battery test, and clears all system troubles.
7.7 Fire Trouble
A Fire Trouble message with a zone number identifies
a problem with the fire system, such as a break in the
wiring that monitors smoke detectors. If the system is
in Commercial Fire Mode, a fire trouble message with
no zone number indicates a ground fault.
A fire trouble is indicated by a short beep from the
keypad sounders every 10 seconds. The text keypad
displays “Fire Trouble” followed by the zones in a
trouble condition. The LED keypad lights the Fire and
Trouble LEDs steady and lights the corresponding
zone LEDs.
The RF3341 Keypad cannot indicate a Fire
Trouble condition.
Notify your installing company immediately if the fire
trouble message is displayed.

To silence the fire trouble tone, enter any [PIN] and
press the [Off] key (or enter [PIN][#] from an RF3341
Keypad). After the problems are resolved, enter a
[PIN] and press the [Off] key ([PIN][#] from an
RF3341 Keypad) to clear the “Fire Trouble” display.
7.8 Fire Safety
No fire detection device or system is 100%
foolproof.
This fire alarm system can provide early warning of a
developing fire. Such a system, however, does not
ensure protection against property damage or loss of
life resulting from a fire. Any fire alarm system can fail
to warn for any number of reasons (for example,
smoke not reaching a detector behind a closed door).
If Installed in Family Residences
Adherence to these guidelines can lead to reasonable
fire safety when the following items are practiced:
•Minimize hazards: Avoid smoking in bed, leaving
children home alone, and cleaning with flammable
liquids.
•Providing a fire warning system: Most fire
deaths occur in the home, with the majority during
sleeping hours. The minimum level of protection
requires smoke detectors to be installed outside of
each separate sleeping area and on each additional
story of the dwelling.
For added early warning protection, install detectors in
all separated areas including the basement, bedrooms,
dining room, utility room, furnace room, and hallways.
Create and Practice an Escape Plan
A fire warning is wasted unless the family plans in
advance for a rapid and safe exit from the building.
•Draw a floor plan of the entire house showing two
exits from each bedroom and two from the house.
Since stairwells and hallways might be blocked
during a fire, the plan must provide exits from
bedroom windows.
Make copies of the plan and practice it with all
family members.
• Pre-arrange a meeting place outside and away
from the residence. Once out of the building, all
occupants should immediately go to the preselected location to be accounted for.
Figure 3: Escape Plan
1 – Bedroom
2 – Hall
3 – Dining Room
Install a smoke detector on each story including
basements, but excluding crawl spaces and unfinished
attics.
•Provide a barricade between family members and
fire, smoke, and toxic gases (for example, close all
bedroom doors before retiring).
•Instruct children to open their bedroom windows
and exit safely from the building. If exiting is not
possible, teach them to stay at the open window
and shout for help until it arrives.
•In the event of a fire alarm after retiring, wake the
children by shouting to them from behind your
closed door. Tell them to keep their bedroom
doors closed.
•If the top of your bedroom door is
uncomfortably hot, do not open it. Most likely,
there is fire, intolerable heat, or smoke on the other
side. Shout to all family members to keep their
bedroom doors closed and to exit the building by
alternate routes.
•If the top of the door is not uncomfortably hot,
brace the bottom of the door with your foot, and
the top with one hand, then open the door about
one inch. Be prepared to slam the door shut if
there is any pressure against the door or if any hot
air rushes in.
•If there is no evidence of excessive heat or
pressure, leave the room and close the door behind you. Shout appropriate instructions to all
family members and immediately leave the
building by the pre-planned routes. If heavy smoke
is present, drop to your hands and knees, or crawl
to remain below the smoke level.

Installation Considerations
Proper location of detection devices is one of the most
7.9 Emergency Keypad Alarms/
Silencing Alarms
critical factors in a fire alarm system.
Here are some general considerations:
•Do not install smoke detectors in “dead air” spaces
or close to ventilating or air-conditioning outlets
because smoke might be circulated away from the
detector. Locations near air inlets are favored.
•Avoid areas subject to normal smoke
concentrations such as kitchens, garages, or near
fireplaces.
•Do not install smoke detectors where normal area
temperatures are above 38 °C (100 °F) or below 0
°C (32 °F).
•Avoid areas of high humidity and dust
concentrations.
•Install ceiling-mounted detectors so the edge is no
closer than 10 cm (4 inches) from any wall.
•Place the top edge of wall mounted detectors from
10 to 30 cm (4 to 12 inches) from the ceiling.
The Emergency Alarm Keys [], [], and [] can
generate Fire, Special Emergency, and Panic Alarms if
programmed by the installer. Ask your installing
company to explain the function of these keys. To use
an Emergency Key, you must press the button for
two seconds to generate an alarm. Use the
Disarming Command Sequence to cancel or silence
these alarms.
If the Emergency Alarm Keys are to be used, label the
keys to signify their functions.
Label the left-most key as the Fire key. This is the only
key that can be designated as the Fire key.
Label the middle key as the Special Emergency key.
Label the right-most key as the Panic key.
On RF keyfobs, the Panic signal is sent to your security
system when two keys are held down simultaneously
for at least three seconds.

7.10 Turning OFF (Disarming) Your System under Duress
A Duress PIN (refer to Section 8.0 Personal Identification Numbers (PINs) on page 23 and Section 8.4 PIN Authority
Levels on page 24) is used when someone demands, by threatening your life or well-being, that you turn the system
off. When used, the Duress PIN turns off the system and reports a silent Duress alarm if the system is connected to
a monitoring service. When disarming the system normally, use extreme care when entering your PIN to turn off
the system, so you do not inadvertently enter a Duress PIN.
You can enter the Duress PIN at any keypad, but you cannot disarm the system under duress from a keyfob. In a
duress situation, avoid using a keyfob to disarm the system since this prevents you from notifying the monitoring
service of your need for assistance.

8.0 Personal Identification Numbers (PINs)
8.1 General Information
When programming personal identification numbers, it is helpful to know these terms:
•PIN: Personal Identification Number. Users enter this four- or six-digit code at the keypad to gain access to
the system. You can assign a PIN to each User Number 001 through 200.
•User Number: This number identifies each person using the system. There are 200 possible user numbers
available (001 through 200).
•Authority Level: This number determines the functions each user can perform.
Your system can assign up to 200 PINs, each four or six digits long. You can only assign a PIN to one user
number. Attempting to assign the same PIN to multiple user numbers results in the three-beep error tone, and the
entry is not made.
User Number 001 is designated as a Master code. It can be used to add, delete, or change other PINs. It always
has access to all areas regardless of how it is programmed.
User Number 001 is shipped from the factory with the PIN of 1 2 3 4. Change this PIN to one of your personal preference and program it as a Master code.
Never program PINs with common sequences such as 1 2 3 4, 1 1 1 1, or 2 4 6 8 because they are easily triggered.
8.2 Removing a PIN
To disable (remove) a PIN:
1. Enter a [Master code] and press [#][0][0].
2. Enter the user number of the PIN to be cancelled and press [#].
You cannot disable User Number 001 using this method.
8.3 Changing a PIN
Since you can only change PINs in Master Programming Mode, they are not programmable from an RF
(wireless) keypad. Change PINs at a text keypad because no visual clues are provided by an LED keypad.
Record your entries so they are available before you enter Master Programming Mode. Enter the
parameters promptly. If a delay of 15 seconds or more occurs between entries, the 3-beep error tone

8.4 PIN Authority Levels
0 = Master
Can enter all commands, add or change PINs in assigned areas, change the time and date, bypass, arm, disarm,
perform system tests, system reset, and view history. User Number 001 must have the Master authority level. Any
or all PINs can behave as a Master code. The Master code always has authority in all partitions.
1 = Unlimited
Can enter all commands, bypass, arm, disarm, system reset, and perform system tests. It cannot change PINs.
2 = General
Can bypass, arm, and disarm. It cannot change PINs, system reset, enter [#][7], or any of the [#][8] functions.
3 = Arm Only
Can arm the system with [PIN][ON] arming sequence only. Cannot perform other functions, including disarming.
4 = Temporary
Valid only for a specified time (the PIN expires on a pre-determined date). It can arm and disarm the system, but
cannot perform any other functions. The code can be used from a Master keypad, but only in Single Partition
Mode. If access is assigned to more than one area, you must enter a Temporary PIN expiration date for all
assigned areas (refer to Section 8.5 Changing the Expiration Date for Temporary PINs).
5 = Duress
When the system is disarmed using the duress code, a silent report is sent to your monitoring service. The duress
code is intended to be used when the user is forced to disarm the system. Refer to Section 7.10 Turning OFF (Disarming) Your System under Duress on page 22.
6 = Access Code
When a PIN with an access code is entered, any output programmed for access output (for example, door strikes)
pulse on for 10 seconds (works when the system is armed or disarmed).
8.5 Changing the Expiration Date for Temporary PINs
Since you can only change the expiration date for temporary PINs in Master Programming Mode, they are not
programmable from an RF (wireless) keypad. Do this procedure at a text keypad because no visual clues are
provided by an LED keypad.

10.0 Testing Your System
10.1 Zone Test
The zone test confirms that detectors report alarms to the keypad. A zone test works on all zones, except 24-hour
zones and fire zones. While the keypad is in a zone test, no control panel alarms activate an alarm, except 24-hour
zone alarms and fire alarms; these alarms override the zone test function.
This test requires you to manually alarm each zone.
At the start of the test, if programmed, a report is sent to the central station followed by reports on the individual
zones as they are tested. When the zone test is complete, a test restoral report is sent to the central station.
If you perform this test from a Master Keypad, the keypad must be in Single Partition Mode. Zone tests are not
available from RF (wireless) keypads.
Test the system weekly.

10.2 Battery Tests
If a power failure occurs, your control panel has a backup battery that continues to power the control panel for
many hours. The control panel automatically recharges the battery when power is restored.
In addition to the automatic battery test performed every 2 minutes, you can also test the battery manually. This
test also uses the battery to manually activate all the system sounders for 2 seconds ([PIN][#][8][5] only). If the
battery voltage is low, a battery fault occurs (refer to Section 9.0 Error Displays on page 25).
If you perform this test from a Master keypad, the keypad must be in Single Partition Mode. System Tests are not
available from RF (wireless) keypads.

• The control panel reports a Low Battery
or a Low Battery Restoral is necessary.
• If the sounder fails to operate
or if the battery fails, contact
your installing company.
• Contact your installing
company if a low or missing
battery is reported.
10.3 Communicator Test
This test is available only if your system sends alarms and system information to a monitoring service, and is
programmed by the installing company to permit communicator tests. You can perform this test from a Master
Keypad. The account code for Area #1 is used. System tests are not available from RF (wireless) keypads.
A long beep initially sounds to acknowledge the start of the test. If the test is successful, the sounder again sounds
one long beep. If the test fails, the keypad sounder turns ON continuously. To silence the sounder, enter your
[PIN] and press the [#] key or the [*] key.

10.4 Fire Walk Test
This test confirms that smoke detectors report alarms to the keypads. The Fire Walk Test tests all fire zones,
including verified fire and waterflow.
This test requires you to manually alarm each zone.
If programmed, a Fire Walt Test report is sent to the central station at the start of a Fire Walk Test. Fire alarm
reports are not sent to the central station during the Fire Walk Test. A Fire Walk Test restoral is sent upon
completion of the Fire Walk Test.
The Fire Walk Test runs for 20 minutes once it is started. The test time is extended to 20 minutes every time you
test another zone.
When you test a fire zone, any output programmed to follow that zone is activated for 5 seconds.

DS7400XiV4-EXP | User Guide | 11.0 The Master Keypad (Text Keypad Only) EN | 31
11.0 The Master Keypad (Text Keypad Only)
11.1 General Information
Your system can include a Master Keypad. A Master Keypad is a text keypad programmed to provide access to
all areas assigned to you, not just the area in which the Master Keypad is located. This is different from a standard
keypad because standard keypads provide access only to the single area in which they are located. Commands
entered at the Master Keypad affect all the areas to which you have access. If this is not desirable, the Master
Keypad can control each area individually using Single Partition Mode. Single Partition Mode allows you to
control any or all of the areas to which you have access on an individual (one by one) basis (refer to Section 11.3 Single Partition Mode).
To use the Master Keypad, your PIN must be assigned to the area in which the Master Keypad is
located.
11.2 Master Keypad Displays
Master keypad displays differ slightly from standard keypads. The Master Keypad display scrolls the status of each
area, followed by the area number. For example, if all areas are armed, the Master Keypad scrolls through the
following displays:
Armed
area 1
If only areas 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 are armed, the Master Keypad scrolls through the following displays:
Armed
area 1
Areas that are not ready display as “Not Ready.”

Access Control PIN
An Access Control PIN is a special code to turn
electric door locks or other mechanisms connected to
the control panel on or off.
Area (Partition)
An area exists when the system is divided up into 2, 3,
4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 areas or partitions. Keypads within an
area can interact with only that area.
Armed/Disarmed
Arming the system (burglar zones) turns it on.
Disarming the system turns it off. Remember, fire
protection (if installed) is always Armed/on.
Central Station/Monitoring Service
A Central Station/Monitoring Service is a facility used
to continuously monitor phone signals from your
system. Personnel are trained to dispatch the proper
authorities when necessary.
Common Area
A Common Area is an area that is connected to
another area or all the areas. It may be used as a
common entry way to separate areas. A Master keypad
would normally be found in the Common Area. A
Common Area is only armed when all the areas it is
connected to are armed. It is disarmed when at least
one of the areas it is connected to is disarmed.
Custom Arming
Custom Arming is a type of arming that uses the [#][4]
sequence. It is only a valid sequence if programmed by
the installing company. It is a specific type of arming
designed for your individual installation needs. Ask
your installing company to explain Custom Arming
further.
Disarming Command Sequence
The Disarming Command Sequence is the sequence of
keys you press at the keypad to disarm the system
and/or silence alarms. It consists of your PIN followed
by the command (#) button.
Door Strike
A mechanism connected to the control panel to limit
access through a door to those users with an Access
Control PIN.
Entry Delay
An Entry Delay is a predetermined amount of time
that allows entry into an armed area.
An Exit Delay is a predetermined amount of time that
allows you to exit an area just after you arm it.
Faulted Zone
A Faulted Zone is a zone that is not ready to arm (for
example, an open door or window). It can also be
described as being triggered.
Force Arming
Force Arming is a way of arming the system by
bypassing zones that are not ready to arm. You should
avoid Force Arming because it reduces the level of
security.
Installing Company
The Installing Company is the company that physically
installed the system. It may or may not be the same
company who monitors the system.
Local System
A Local System is a system that has a control panel
that is not programmed to call a monitoring service. It
sounds only local (on site) bells or sirens when an
intrusion or fire alarm is detected.
Monitored System
A Monitored System is a system that uses phone lines
to notify a monitoring service of programmed
abnormal events such as burglar or fire alarms.
Partitioning
Partitioning is to divide the system into 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,
or 8 areas or partitions. This allows the system to act as
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 separate systems.
Zone
A Zone is an input to the control panel. There are eight
hard-wired zones on the control panel and additional
zones may be added. A zone is usually some type of
detection device designed for burglar or fire.
Zone Bypassing
Zone Bypassing is a way of arming the system by
deliberately eliminating zones to be armed.
Zone Function
A Zone Function is the description of how a zone
behaves in the system. Zone Functions usually define
how a zone responds when armed or when it detects an
alarm.
Test the system weekly to ensure it is functioning properly. If problems are detected in testing or changes are
noticed in normal operation, call your installing company for service. The manufacturer recommends replacing
the system battery every 3 to 5 years (contact your installing company).
Monitoring Service Phone No.
Monitoring Service System No.
Use the chart below to list your protected areas. For example, if Zone 1 is your front door, the installer should
write "Front Door" on the line provided for Zone 1.
