What your alarm system is...

Your alarm system is made up of a control panel and several detection devices like motion sensors, magnetic contacts, and so on. Specific areas of detection are called zones. Zones can be programmed to have different characteristics. Some zones may be 24-hour zones, that is, they remain armed even when the alarm system is off. Zones used for fire detection, for example, are always 24-hour zones. In addition, some zones can be programmed to allow bypassing. When you bypass a zone, you temporarily remove it from the alarm system. Always remember, however, that bypassed zones are not protected.

How your alarm system works...

When a detection device is triggered, the status of its zone goes from normal to FAULTED. If armed, the control panel responds by reporting an alarm condition on site --- flashing keypad lights, sounding bells -

-- and if programmed, by transmitting an alarm signal over the telephone wires to a central monitoring station. The monitoring station then dispatches the appropriate authorities.

Some of your system's operations require you to enter your personal identification number (PIN) on the keypad. These include ARMING and DISARMING.

Along with its many other features, your system can be programmed to ARM INSTANTLY or to ARM WITH TIME DELAY (i.e., allowing you time to leave the premises). The ENTRY TIME DELAY allows you time upon entering the premises to enter your code and disarm the system without causing an alarm.

Each alarm system in the 2300 family is designed to meet the specific needs of a variety of applications. The System 236E is designed for applications requiring protection of six zones.

Some of the available features of your alarm system are also optional, and will only be installed if appropriate for your installation. In addition, some system features will require you to enter your personal identification number (PIN).

As you read through this manual, watch for boxes like these:

If an optional feature has been installed in your system, its

OPTION INSTALLED box will be checked.

. .

If a feature of your system requires you to enter your personal identification number, its PIN REQUIRED box will be checked.

SOUND MEANING

3 pulse temporal pattern (½ second on / ½ second off / ½ second on / ½ second off / ½ second on / 1½ second off repeating) *

zone programmed for 3 pulse temporal pattern is in alarm (This is the audible signal which UL has designated for fire-protection zones.)

trouble chirp (2 second chirp once every minute) * low battery conditon has been detected (this will be accompanied

by the Service light on steady and the Power light flashing slowly, as described on page 6.)

* Only used with System 236E or later control panels.

Make sure all the ZONE lights are off.

Faulted zones must be cleared or bypassed before the system can be armed. For more information, refer to the sections Bypassing Zones and After An Alarm Occurs.

TO ARM THE SYSTEM / AUTO HOME ARMING:

If programmed, the red ZONE lights will automatically turn off after five minutes (as a security measure). Pressing any key on the keypad will turn the ZONE lights back on.

OPTION

INSTALLED

Your PIN number is four digits long. Don't pause for more than 5 seconds while entering the digits or the control panel will

reject your PIN number.

Enter your PIN and push the # key.

. .

REQUIRED

If you make a mistake while entering your PIN number, the keypad will beep five times. After the fifth beep, enter your PIN number again.

Make sure the red ARM light comes on.

The keypad will beep twice to confirm that the system is armed.

Exit through any TIME DELAY DOOR within seconds.

The exit delay time can be programmed from 10 seconds to 150 seconds.

Once the exit delay time has expired, the keypad will beep twice to confirm that the system is armed.

If the EXIT PRE-ALARM option is installed, the keypad will beep slowly until 10 seconds before the delay time expires, then rapidly for the last 10 seconds.

OPTION

INSTALLED

The rest of the ARMING THE SYSTEM section explains how to bypass zones before arming the system, as well as certain arming options our installer can install. However, it's important for you to remember that no matter how your system is programmed, you will always disarm it in the same way: enter your PIN, then push the # key.

OPTION

INSTALLED

The AUTO HOME ARMING option enables the system to automatically bypass interior zones if you arm the system but do not leave the premises. The perimeter zones will be armed and the entry delay will remain intact.

With this option installed, arm the system (enter your PIN and push the # key).

If you do not exit before the exit delay time expires, the system will automatically arm perimeter zones and bypass interior zones.

If you exit through an exit delay door, the system will automatically arm interior and perimeter zones.

INSTANT ARMING

Instant arming converts all time delayed zones to INSTANT zones.

Make sure all the ZONE lights are off.

REQUIRED

. .

OPTION

INSTALLED

Exit Delay Disable (see page 17).

Home Arming or bypassing interior zones will allow you to move about freely inside the premises while the system is armed. Refer to the next three sections: HOME ARMING, INSTANT HOME ARMING, and BYPASSING ZONES.

CAUTION: When the system is instant armed, you will not be able to enter through any

perimeter door or walk through any protected area without setting off an alarm.

Enter your PIN (if required), push the key, enter the digit "7", then push the # key.

The red ARM light will flash while the system is instant armed.

The keypad will beep twice to confirm that the system is armed.
