THIS MANUAL IS FURNISHED TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND YOUR SECURITY
SYSTEM AND BECOME PROFICIENT IN ITS OPERATION. ALL USERS OF
YOUR SECURITY SYSTEM SHOULD READ AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS
AND PRECAUTIONS IN THIS BOOKLET. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT
IN THE SECURITY SYSTEM NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THIS BOOKLET
SHOULD BE KEPT IN AN ACCESSIBLE LOCATION FOR THE LIFE OF THE
SECURITY SYSTEM. IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND ANY PART OF THIS
MANUAL YOU SHOULD NOTIFY YOUR INSTALLING COMPANY.
The SECURITY CONTROL can be turned on (ARMED) and off (DISARMED) by
entering a 4 or 6 digit code into the Keypad Control, which is similar to a telephone
keypad. If your Security Control has been so programmed, you may be able to turn on
(ARM) your System by simply pressing the [STAY] or [EXIT] key. The system must
always be disarmed using a 4 or 6 digit code. The LED keypad includes up to 35
lights and a built-in electronic sounder. These provide specific information relating to
the status of the security system which is described in the booklet. Understanding
what the lights and sounds mean will help you to easily operate your system.
READ THE ENTIRE MANUAL AND, IF POSSIBLE, PRACTICE ON THE KEYPAD
CONTROL WHILE YOUR PROFESSIONAL INSTALLER IS ON SITE.
KEEP IN MIND, THE LEVEL OF SECURITY YOU WILL OBTAIN WITH THIS
SYSTEM RELATES SPECIFICALLY WITH TWO MAJOR FACTORS:
1.The quantity, quality, and placement of security devices attached to this
system.
2.The knowledge you have of the security system and how that knowledge is
utilized in a weekly test of the complete system.
YOU SHOULD BE AWARE OF THE FOLLOWING FACTS WHEN PREPARING A
SAFETY/SECURITY PLAN FOR YOUR HOME/BUSINESS.
Your security system is an electronic device and is subject to failure or
malfunction. Do not rely on it as your single source of security.
Your system should be tested weekly.
Your system will not work without power.
Warning devices will need to be loud enough, wired correctly, and properly
placed to provide notification of an alarm event.
Smoke and heat detectors may not detect heat and smoke in all situations.
Use qualified security professionals to install and maintain your security system.
It may be possible to arm the security system without the backup battery
connected. Your periodic test should be done with A.C. Power removed to verify
the battery is connected and adequately charged.
Care should be taken to plug in and restrain the A.C. Transformer after testing.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS
CAREFULLY BEFORE OPERATING YOUR SECURITY CONTROL SYSTEM. IF
YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND ANY PORTION OF THIS MANUAL, OR IF YOU
HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR SYSTEM, CONTACT THE INSTALLING
COMPANY LISTED ON PAGE 1 OF THIS BOOKLET.

Sounds a continuous tone during the Entry delay time.
Pulses when a day zone is violated while the system is disarmed.
Pulses when a FIRE zone has a trouble condition.
Beeps 3 times for trying to arm with the “Ready” light off, if “Force Arming”
has not been selected.
Beeps for 1 second or emits a “ding-dong” sound for the “Chime” feature.
Beeps during an exit delay; beeps rapidly for the last 10 seconds of an exit
delay; and beeps 1 second at the end of the exit delay.
Pulses when the armed status changes and the AC power is off.
Pulses when the armed status changes and any zone(s) are bypassed.
Pulses when the armed status changes and a low battery is detected.
Pulses when the armed status changes and a Tamper condition is detected.
Beeps to indicate Telephone Line Cut, if selected.
Pulses when one or more of the following conditions are detected: Zone or
Box Tamper, Low Battery, AC Power Fail, or Expander trouble.
Beeps 3 times every minute indicating a low battery or missing transmitter is
detected (if wireless device is in system). Entering code will suppress the
sounder for 12 hours.
Entering a valid code will silence the keypad sounder when it is pulsing. The

EMERGENCY EVACUATION PLANS
An emergency evacuation plan should be established for an actual fire alarm
condition. For example, the following steps are recommended by the National
Fire Protection Association and can be used as a guide in establishing an
evacuation plan for your building.
Draw up a floor plan of your home. Show windows, doors, stairs, and rooftops
that can be used for escape. Indicate each occupant's escape routes. Always
keep these routes free from obstruction. Determine two means of escape from
each room. One will be the normal exit from the building. The other may be a
window that opens easily. An escape ladder may have to be located near the
window if there is a long drop to the ground below. Set a meeting place outdoors
for a headcount of the building occupants. Practice escape procedures. In a
home, sleep with bedroom door closed; this will increase your escape time. If
you suspect fire, test the door for heat. If you think it is safe, brace your shoulder
against the door and open it cautiously. Be ready to slam the door if smoke or
heat rush in. Practice escaping to the outdoors and meeting in an assigned spot.
Call the Fire Department from a neighbor's phone.
NOTE: After the installation of your Security System has been completed, notify
your local Fire and Police Departments to give them your name and address for
their records. Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of
fire detection equipment in all rooms. This equipment should be installed in
accordance with the National Fire Protection Association's Standard 72. For
additional information write the National Fire Protection Association,
Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
The following are examples of evacuation plans. A plan unique to your home or
business should be drawn and memorized by each occupant.
