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 AND ASK FOR THAT
SECTION OF THE MANUAL TO BE EXPLAINED FULLY.

The SECURITY CONTROL CENTER is turned on (ARMED) and off (DISARMED) by entering
a 4 digit code into the Keypad Control, which is similar to a telephone keypad. The Keypad
Control includes 10 indicator lights and a built-in electronic sounder. These provide specific
information relating to the status of the security system which is described in this booklet.
Understanding what the lights and sounds mean will help you easily operate your system.

SO REMEMBER, READ THE ENTIRE MANUAL AND, IF POSSIBLE, PRACTICE ON THE
KEYPAD CONTROL WHILE YOUR PROFESSIONAL INSTALLER IS AT YOUR BUILDING. IF
YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, ASK YOUR INSTALLING COMPANY.

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT 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 AND USE THEM 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 select, 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 properly restrain the A.C. Transformer after testing.

PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE BOOKLET 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.

HOW TO ARM YOUR SECURITY SYSTEM

To Arm the security system, close all of the protected doors and windows. The green "READY"
light on the keypad control will be illuminated when all of the protected zones and sensors are
secure. If any of the zones are bypassed, a sensor in that zone can be violated without affecting
the "READY" light. The security system will not arm if the "READY" light is not illuminated. With
the "READY" light on, you may arm the security system with your Master Code or one of the
Auxiliary codes.

Each time a key is pressed on the keypad control, a short tone (beep) will sound. If the keypad
beeps three times after a code entry, or it does not arm, it is an indication that the code has not
been accepted. Press the [#] key to reset, and re-enter a valid code. If an error is made during
code entry, press [#] key and re-enter the code.

If the keypad control beeps continuously after code entry, it is an indication that; (1) the
"POWER" light is off, meaning there is no AC power to your system; or (2) a faulted fire zone.
The keypad sounder can be silenced by re-entering your four digit code. If the "POWER" light
is off, you should restore power to the system if possible. If you are unable to correct the above
conditions, you should contact the installing company listed on page 1 of this booklet for
service.

When the security system has accepted a valid code, the red "ARMED" light will illuminate
indicating that the system has been turned on. If you choose to leave the protected area, you
must exit through a designated exit door within the exit delay time noted on page 1. If you
choose to stay within the protected area, insure that all interior zones which may be tripped by
your movement are bypassed.

HOW TO DISARM YOUR SECURITY SYSTEM

When you enter the protected area through one of the designated entry/exit doors, the keypad
control will sound a continuous tone (beep) for the duration of the entry delay time, or until you
enter a valid code. After a valid code has been entered, the red "ARMED" light will turn off, and
the tone will stop. The security system is now DISARMED. If a valid code is not entered before
the end of the entry delay time, an alarm will occur. (NOTE: IF THE RED "ARMED" LIGHT IS
FLASHING DURING THE ENTRY DELAY, THE ALARM SYSTEM HAS BEEN ACTIVATED IN
YOUR ABSENCE. LEAVE THE BUILDING IMMEDIATELY AND CALL YOUR ALARM
COMPANY AND/OR THE POLICE FROM A SAFE LOCATION.)

HOW TO BYPASS ZONES

When zones are open or unsecured, their corresponding LEDs will flash. To bypass any of the
zones, press [r], zone number(s) to be bypassed, and [r]. When bypassed, corresponding zone
LEDs will be on steady. Zones cannot be bypassed or unbypassed while the control is in the
armed state. Upon disarming, all bypassed zones will be unbypassed. As bypassed zones are
not protected, the bypass procedure should only be given to authorized persons.

QUICK-ARM FEATURE
If checked, your security system has a "QUICK ARM" code programmed. This feature will allow

you to arm the security system by pressing one, pre-designated key on the keypad control. This
"QUICK ARM" code is for ARMING ONLY, and will not disarm the Security System. This makes
it ideal for a maid code, babysitter code, etc. This code can only be programmed and/or
changed by your installing company.
