Your Security System
Your security system includes a number of detection devices, such
as magnetic contacts, glassbreak detectors, smoke detec-
tors, and motion sensors. These devices identify alarm condi-
tions and report them to the control panel. If programmed, the
control panel sounds an alarm. The control panel also communicates with you (through the keypad) and with a monitoring sta-
tion (through a telephone hook-up).
Each region monitored by a sensor (or group of sensors) is known
as a zone. Most zones will trigger an alarm only when the system is armed. Other sensors, such as smoke detectors, can trigger an alarm at any time. Your system's zones are identified on a
label placed inside the door of your keypad.
Monitoring station personnel respond to system messages, and
notify emergency personnel as needed. A monitoring service is
an optional part of a security system.

How Your Security System Works
When an intruder enters the building, a detection device is triggered. The device sends a message to the control panel. The
device may have LEDs (lights) that blink.
The control panel responds by sounding the alarm. (Alarm sounds
vary. If your system is programmed for silent alarms, no bells
sound.) A message is sent to the keypad and, if connected, to the
monitoring station.
The keypad displays a warning message. Personnel at the monitoring station confirm the alarm and respond accordingly.
Some alarms can be canceled before the siren sounds and the
monitoring station is notified. See Section 4 for more information.

Your System's Programming
Your Sierra security system has been customized to suit your
needs. Besides selecting the best equipment for your building,
your installer has programmed your system to operate in a way
that reflects your lifestyle. For example, your system may be programmed to recognize special user codes, to arm and disarm
automatically, or to report to a monitoring station.
Throughout this manual, you will find descriptions of features that
may have been programmed into your system. To see how your
system was programmed, refer to the checklist in Section 8.
Getting Used to Your System
Your security system can be programmed for a learning period
that can last from one to 31 days. With this option, you can practice using your system without causing any false alarms. Refer to
Section 8 to see if this learning period was programmed into your
system.
During the learning period, your system does two things differently. First, during an alarm, you do not hear any sirens or bells.
Second, if you have a monitoring station hook-up, your system
does not notify the station of an alarm.
After the learning period is over, your system automatically begins to function normally. If programmed, sirens and bells sound
during an alarm, and the monitoring station receives information
over the telephone hook-up.
IMPORTANT: Your building is not fully protected from actual
alarms during the learning period.

Emergency Keys
Your keypad is equipped with
three emergency keys. The
keys do not function unless
your installer activated them. If
activated, these keys are a
one-button way to inform your
monitoring station of a medical
emergency, a fire, or a crime in
progress.
Depending upon how your system is programmed, an alarm
may sound when an emergency key is pressed. To can-
cel the alarm, press the
key and enter your
user code.
After you press an emergency
key, your keypad's display
shows that an emergency
alarm occurred. To clear the
display, press and hold the

System Status Messages
Your keypad's display gives you information about the status of
your system. If there is more than one condition to report, your
keypad displays each message in turn.
Below is a list of the types of messages you may see. On your
display, the # symbol is replaced with the number of the zone, or
zones, in question. For more information about many of these
messages, see Section 6.
ALARM (ZN#) A zone (ZN) is, or recently has been, in alarm.
ARMED-HOM The system is armed using home-arming.
ARMED-INS The system is armed using instant home-arming.
BYPASSED (ZN#) A zone has been bypassed, meaning the zone is no
longer protected.
FAULTED (ZN#) The sensor in the zone has detected a condition
which, if the system were armed, would cause an
alarm. (For example, a door may be ajar.)
READY The system is ready to be armed.
NOT READY The system is not ready to be armed because a zone
is faulted.
PRESS SERVICE Your system may need to be repaired.
TAMPER (ZN#) A sensor may have been vandalized.
TROUBLE (ZN#) A sensor may not be functioning properly.
No system status messages are displayed while you arm the system, or make other changes, like assign user codes.

User Codes
7
User Codes and User Numbers
A user code is a secret four-digit number, used to arm and dis-
arm the system, and possibly to make other changes. Every individual who has a user code is also assigned a two-digit user num-
ber. You cannot assign the same user code to more than one
user number.
You can assign a different user code and user number to each
person who operates the system. Your security system supports
up to 60 users (user numbers 1 through 60).
If you prefer, you can assign only one user code and user number
to a group of users. This is not recommended, since it will then
be impossible to determine which individual gave a specific command.
How to Enter a User Code
To enter a user code, simply press the four numbers in succession. Do not pause for more than five seconds between numbers.
For security reasons, the code you enter is not displayed.

How to Assign or Change User Codes
To Assign or Change
a User Code:
1. Press and hold the
[user prg] key for 2 seconds
until you hear two beeps.
You see:
ENTER MASTER
USER CODE
2. Enter the master user code.
You see:
ENTER
USER NUMBER ##
If a user number is available,
the number is displayed.
3. Enter the two-digit user number . You see:
USER ## = ####
NEW CODE =
4. Enter the new four-digit user
code. You see:
ENGLISH?
Byp=NO Home=YES
(continued)
User codes can be created or
changed as often as you like.
Any code you select must be
four digits long.
You cannot use 0000, or assign
the same user code to more
than one user number. Avoid
codes that are easy to guess,
like 1234. The default master
user code (user number 1) is
5832. For security reasons, be
sure to change this code. Do
not assign the code 5832 to another user.
If you make a mistake while
assigning a user code, you may
correct it by repeating the procedure.
Be sure to record the user
codes, and to keep these
records in a safe place.

Important Note. At installation, each user number is assigned rights and privileges.
For example, user number 18
may have the rights to arm, disarm, and bypass zones. This
is true even if, in this example,
there is no user 18 using the
system.
Thus, if you want to assign a
user code to a new user, be
sure that you select a user
number with the privileges you
want that user to have. Your
installer should have provided
you with specific information
about how your system was
configured. Refer to this information to select the proper user
number.
To Assign or Change
a User Code (continued):
5. If the user's language is English, press the
key.
6. If the user's language is not
English, press the
key until the appropriate language is displayed, then press
the

You will know that you entered
an incorrect user code when
the system does not complete
your command. As a security
feature, your keypad does not
beep when you enter an incorrect user code.
If you make a mistake entering
the user code, simply re-enter
the code.
Correcting a User Code Entry
To Correct a User
Code Entry:
1. Re-enter your user code.
How to Delete a User Code
You may delete a user code by
changing that code to 0000.
Follow the procedure for assigning or changing a user
code, described on the previous page.
To Delete a User Code:
1. Change the user code to
0000, following the procedure for assigning or changing a user code.
Some security systems include wireless keyfobs and remotes, used to
arm and disarm the system. If a
keyfob or remote is lost, you can protect your building by deleting its user
code.

How the Arming Modes Differ
Your security system can be armed in a number of ways, to suit
different situations. These modes are summarized below:
Full Arming. You cannot be inside the building when it is
armed with full-arming. If sensors detect movement within a
building, or at the building's perimeter, an alarm sounds.
Home Arming (optional): You can be inside the building
when it is armed with home-arming. If someone enters the
building through a protected door, you must enter a user code,
or an alarm sounds.
Instant Home-Arming (optional). You can be inside the
building when it is armed with instant home-arming. If someone enters the building through a protected door, an alarm
sounds instantly.
Automatic Arming (optional). Your system can be pre-programmed to arm and disarm at preset times and days. You
cannot be inside the building when it is automatically armed.
Quick Arming Modes
If your system is programmed for quick arming, you do not need
to enter your user code before arming begins. Refer to Section 8
to determine if your system was programmed for quick arming.
Quick arming does not affect how your system behaves once it is
armed. For example, there is no difference in the way a system
armed with home-arming or quick home-arming protects you.

Exit Delays
An exit delay is the amount of time you have to exit and secure
the building, once your security system begins to arm. These
delays last from 20 to 255 seconds, depending upon how your
system was programmed.
During the exit delay, the Arm LED blinks. The keypad may beep
during the delay; if so, it beeps
faster during the last ten seconds. As shown to the right, a
bar appears at the base of the
display. This bar represents the
amount of time you have to exit
and secure the building.
When half of the time has expired, the bar will be half its
original length.

With home arming, you can remain inside a building while its
perimeter zones (such as doors
and windows) are armed. No
alarm sounds if a sensor detects movement within the
building.
Your system might be programmed for a home arming
exit delay option (see
Section 8.) This means that one
or more individuals can leave
the building during the exit delay.
At the end of the exit delay, only
the perimeter zones are armed.

With instant home-arming, an
alarm sounds the instant a sensor on the building's perimeter
detects a problem. The interior
sensors are not armed.
Before anyone can open a protected door or window, the system must first be disarmed.
To prevent false alarms, use instant arming only when you are
sure no system user will open
a protected door or window.

Arming With Not-Ready Zones
The zones in your system are not always ready to arm. For example, a zone would not be ready to arm if one of its sensors has
been vandalized, needs service, or detects a potential alarm condition. Zones which are not ready to arm are referred to as not-ready
zones.
Your system has been programmed to automatically handle not-ready
zones in one of three ways described below. Refer to Section 8 to
see how your system was programmed.
Force Arming. With Force Arming, your system arms, even if
some not-ready zones exist. All not-ready zones are ignored
(bypassed), and therefore, not protected. Exception: Not-ready
Day Buzzer or Day Bell zones must be manually bypassed before arming can occur. These are zones that cause a buzzer or
bell to sound if they are faulted while the system is disarmed.
Chirp-Alert Arming. With Chirp Alert Arming, your system does
not arm if a not-ready zone exists. At the end of the exit delay,
your system's sounders chirp. You must re-enter the bulding
and enter a user code, or an alarm sounds. Then, you must
either correct or manually bypass these zones before the system can be armed.
Goof-Proof Arming. With Goof-Proof Arming, the system does
not arm if there are any not-ready exit zones (doors). Instead,
an alarm sounds at the end of the exit delay. You must re-enter
the building and correct the not-ready zones before arming can
occur.

Arm/ Bypass
25
When you manually bypass a
zone, your security system
functions as if that zone does
not exist. Bypassed zones
are not protected.
The master user can bypass
any zone. Other users may
have limited rights to bypass
zones, depending on your
system's programming.
If your system is programmed
for quick bypassing, you do not
need to enter a user code to bypass zones. Follow the instructions for quick bypassing on the
next page.
Restoring bypassed zones.
If you manually bypass a 24hour zone, such as a
glassbreak detector, that zone
remains bypassed until you restore it. However, if you manually bypass a zone that is not a
24-hour zone, it is restored
when you disarm the system.
Bypassing
To Bypass a Zone:
1. When a zone is faulted, the
display reads:

2. To bypass the zone, press the
key. You see:

Quick
Bypassing
Quick bypassing allows you to
bypass zones without entering
a user code. This option must
be programmed into your system by the installer. With quick
bypassing, any user can bypass any bypassable zone.
IMPORTANT: If your system
is programmed for quick bypassing, anyone can bypass
your system's zones. Since
bypassed zones are not protected, this feature increases
the likelihood that your system
may be defeated.

Optional Arming Features
Your system offers the optional arming features described below.
Refer to Section 8 to see which are installed on your system.
Extended Exit Delay. This feature automatically resets the exit
delay if you re-enter the building while the system is being armed.
You may re-enter four times; each time, the exit delay is reset to
its full value.
Keypad Lockout. Designed to prevent an intruder from guessing a user code, this option causes the system to slow down if a
series of invalid user codes are entered. Before a new user code
can be entered, the user must wait through a delay. The delay
lengthens as more invalid codes are entered. Depending upon
your system's programming, the keypad lockout may not affect
arming.
Keyswitch Arming. This accessory (Sierra S5051 or equivalent) allows you to arm and/or disarm the system with a key. Follow the instructions provided with the switch.
Quick Exit. This option allows you to exit a home-armed building
without disarming and re-arming. To start the exit delay, press
and hold the
[quick exit] key for 2 seconds, enter your
user code, then exit. (Depending on your system's programming,
you may not need to enter your user code.)
Exit Termination. This option allows you to shorten the exit delay to the last five seconds by pressing a button connected to
your keypad.

Arm/ Bypass
28
Optional Arming Features (continued)
Automatic Home-Arming. Automatic Home-Arming allows you
to remain inside a building while its perimeter zones (such as
doors and windows) are armed. Arming begins by entering your
user code. If you exit the building during the exit delay, the system arms both the interior and perimeter zones (full arming). However, if you do not exit the building, the system automatically arms
the perimeter zones only (home-arming).
4
29
Disarm/Alarms
Entry Delays
Similar to an exit delay, an entry delay is the time you are allowed
to enter the building, walk to the keypad, and enter a user code
before an alarm sounds. This delay lasts from 10 to 255 seconds, depending on your system's programming. The length of
the delay may differ, depending on which door you use.
During the entry delay, the Arm LED blinks. The keypad may
beep during the delay. If so, it beeps faster during the last ten
seconds. As shown to the right, a bar appears at the base of the
display. This bar represents the
amount of time you have to enter
the building and disarm the system.
When half of the time has expired,
the bar is half its original length.
Disarming
To Disarm the System:
1. Enter through a door programmed with an entry delay.
2. Enter your user code.
Regardless of which method
was used to arm your system,
the disarming sequence is always the same.
Be sure that the door you use
to enter the building has been
programmed with an entry delay.

Disarm/Alarms
How to Prevent False Alarms
False alarms are more than a nuisance—they reduce the reliability of your security system. Here are a few steps you can take to
prevent the annoyance and expense of false alarms.
1. Know your system. Make sure all system users under-
stand how to arm and disarm, and what special functions
they can and cannot do.
2. Remember your user code. Forgotten user codes are
the most common cause of false alarms.
3. If you have an optional keyswitch, be sure you know
where your keys are.
4. Shut doors and windows completely. Before arming
your system, be sure all protected windows and doors are
closed. As you leave the building, shut the exit door completely.
5. Regularly test and maintain your system. Routine
testing and maintenance will help you detect a service condition. See Section 6 for more information.
6. Be selective when arming the system for instant
alarms. This setting should not be used when a user might
open a door or window.
7. Make sure your system's clock and calendar are ac-
curate. Many system functions, such as Kidwatch and Automatic Arming, are time-related. Be sure to adjust your clock
to reflect seasonal time changes (such as Daylight Savings
4
33
Disarm/Alarms
Time). Also, check your clock after a power failure. See
Section 5.
8. Keep pets (and other animals) from motion detectors.
If you have obtained a pet since your system was installed,
your system may need to be modified. Contact your dealer
for more information.
9. Bypass trouble zones. If your system has one or more
trouble zones, bypass them before arming. Have the
sensor(s) inspected if the problem continues. Remember
that bypassed zones are not protected.
Optional Alarm Features
Your system offers the optional alarm features described below.
Refer to Section 8 to see if these options are installed on your
system.
Alarm Lockout. The system automatically ignores a sensor that
repeatedly sends alarm signals.
Silent alarm. With this option, no bells or sirens sound during an
alarm, but the monitoring station is notified. If the phone lines are
down, or the monitoring station cannot be reached for some other
reason, the on-site bells or sirens may be reactivated, depending
upon how your system is programmed.

How to Walk-Test the System
A walk-test allows you to test
your system's functions without
causing an alarm. You can be
sure your security system is
functioning properly by conducting a walk-test once a
week.
The first step of a walk-test is
to place your system in walktest mode. Then, walk in front
of motion sensors, and open
protected doors and windows.
Each time a sensor detects
your presence, the keypad
beeps, and names the zone in
its display.
If your system fails to detect a
sensor, exit the walk-test mode
and make sure the sensor's
zone is not bypassed. If it is
bypassed, remove the bypass
and repeat the walk- test. If this
does not correct the problem,
contact your service representative.
Important: during a walk-test,
your building is not protected
against actual alarms.

What Areas Do
Your security system allows
you to divide (or "partition") a
building into as many as eight
areas, regions that can be
armed and disarmed individually. Designed primarily for
commercial settings, areas can
limit an individual's access to
portions of a building.
A building that is divided into
areas may include a common
area, an area most system users can arm and disarm. The
first diagram shows how a
building could be divided to include a common area.
Buildings may also be partitioned without a common area.
As the second diagram shows,
this setup works well for structures with tenant spaces, but no
lobby or shared hallway.
Each system user is assigned
rights to one or more areas.
Users can arm and disarm only
those areas to which they have
rights.
When a building is divided into
Figure 1
Partitioned building
with a common area
Areas
7
50
Figure 2
Partitioned building
with no common area
areas, portions of the building
can be independently armed
and disarmed. In the case of
the first building illustrated, an
employee can work in the repair shop while the showroom,
offices, and warehouse are
armed. Similarly, in the case
of the second illustration, the
restaurant can remain open after the other shops are closed
and armed.
Dividing a building into areas
changes the following system
functions:
1. Users have restricted access to system functions. A
user with access to only one
area cannot issue commands
affecting other areas, or obtain
information about the other areas.
2. Keypads may respond differently, depending upon
where they are located and
how they are programmed. A
keypad assigned to one area
is limited to handling information about that area only.

Grand Master User Code. The grand master user
can assign and change user codes, and may be able
to arm and disarm the entire system. Only the grand
master user and your installer can view and change
the grand master user code.
Area Master User Code. Each area has its own
master user. The area master user can make any
user-controlled changes within a given area.
Area Basic User Code. Area basic users can disarm and may be able to arm, bypass, or make other
changes within an area. Users can have rights to
more than one area.
Area Maid Code. Maid Days are assigned to each
area, so if you need to change the Maid Days, you
must make the changes for each area individually.
Kidwatch Code. Your system recognizes only one
Kidwatch Code, regardless of how many areas are
present. The Kidwatch Code is assigned to area 1.
Area Duress Code. One duress code can be assigned to each area.
Area Relay Code. One relay code can be assigned
to each area.

If your building is divided into areas, your system may also recognize
one or more of these optional user code types:

Pre-Assigned Area User Numbers
As the table below shows, some user numbers are reserved for
specific user types. For example, User 11 is the preassigned
Kidwatch user number. If programmed, your system automatically restricts User 11 to the limited Kidwatch privileges.
When your system does not recognize a given user type, the user
number functions like other non-reserved user numbers. If your
building is not divided into areas, user codes reserved for areas
do not apply. Also, if your building is divided into only two or three
areas, codes reserved for the remaining areas do not apply.

Changing Area User Codes
In a system with multiple areas, an Area Master User can
only change the codes of the users assigned to that area. If
you attempt to change the code of a user when you do not
have the right to do so, you see:

Understanding the Area Status Menu
The Area Status Menu summarizes the conditions of your system's
areas. The menu only appears on keypads assigned to the common area of a partitioned system. To display the menu, enter
your user code. You see something like this:
AREA 12345678
STATUS RNAHIRAH
The numbers on the right-hand side of the display represent the
areas of your system. The letter under the number indicates the
status of the area. If you do not have rights to all of the areas in
your system, your keypad may be programmed to blacken a portion of the menu's display (see below).
The table on the following page explains the abbreviations used
in the Area Status menu. Thus, in the example above, area 1 is
ready to be armed, while area 3 is armed.
To get more information about any given area, press and hold the
[quick view] key for two seconds until you hear two beeps.
Then, press the area number. This takes you to the Quick View
display, described later in this section. To exit this menu, press
the
key. If you do not press any keys, the keypad auto-
matically exits the Area Status Menu.
AREA 12345678
STATUS RNAHIRAH
AREA 12345678
STATUS RNAH■■■
If you do not have rights to all
of the areas of your system,
your keypad may be programmed to blacken out portions of the Area Status Menu,
as the lower example shows.

Areas

From the Area Status Menu,
you can arm individual areas of
your system. Each partition can
be armed with full arming, home
arming or instant home-arming.
If an area is not ready to be
armed, your command to arm
this area causes one of two
things to happen. If your system is programmed for Force
Arming (see Section 8), the
area is armed, but any trouble/
faulted zones are automatically
bypassed. If your system is not
programmed for Force Arming,
the Zone Status Menu appears.
In that case, you must correct
or bypass any trouble or faulted
zones before arming can take
place.
To Arm One Area:
1. Enter your user code. You see
something like this:
AREA 12345678
STATUS RNAHIRAH
2. To arm an area using full arming, press that area number.
3. To arm an area using home
arming, press the
key
followed by the area number.
4. To arm an area using instant
home-arming, press and hold
the
[instant] key for
2 seconds until you hear two
beeps. Then, enter the area
number.
Arming Individual Areas
Using Multiple Keypads in an Area
In any area, only one keypad can be used at a time. If you try to
use another keypad while one is in use, you see the following:
ANOTHER KEYPAD
IS IN USE
Areas

56
From the Area Status Menu,
you can enter one command
which instructs your system to
arm all of the areas to which you
have rights.
NOTE: If any of the areas are
not ready to be armed, none of
your assigned areas will be
armed when you enter this
command. Instead, your keypad displays the Zone Status
Menu of the first area which is
not ready to be armed. You
must correct or bypass any
trouble or faulted zones before
arming can take place.
NOTE: If an area is already
armed, it will not be affected by
a command to arm all areas.
Thus, for example, if Area 4 is
armed with home-arming, and
a command is issued to arm all
areas with full arming, Area 4
will remain armed with homearming.
Arming Multiple Areas
To Arm All Areas:
1. Enter your user code. You see
something like this:
AREA 12345678
STATUS RNAHIRAH
2. To arm all of your assigned
areas using full arming, press
.
3. To arm all of your assigned
areas using home arming,
press the
key fol-
lowed by the key.
4. To arm all of your assigned
areas using instant home-arming, press and hold the
[instant] key for 2
seconds until you hear two
beeps. Then, press the
key.

From the Area Status Menu,
you can disarm the individual
areas of your system.
You can only disarm an area
that is armed. In the Area Status Menu, an "A," "H," or "I" is
shown under the number of an
armed area.
To Disarm One Area:
1. Enter your user code. You see
something like this:
AREA 12345678
STATUS RNAHIRAH
2. To disarm an armed area,
press that area number.
Disarming Individual Areas
Disarming Multiple Areas
From the Area Status Menu,
you can enter one command
which instructs your system to
disarm all of the areas to which
you have rights.
To Disarm All Areas:
1. Enter your user code. You see
something like this:
AREA 12345678
STATUS RNAHIRAH
2. To disarm all of the areas to
which you have rights, press

Using the Zone Status Menu
How To Use the
Zone Status Menu:
1. From the Area Status Menu,
press and hold the
[quick view] key for 2 seconds
until you hear two beeps.
Then, press the area number.
You see something like this:
.F.F.B■■■■■■■■■■
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
The display identifies each
zone's status, using the abbreviations to the left. Zones outside of the area are blacked out.
2. To bypass a faulted zone,
press the
key followed by the two-digit zone
number.
3. To remove the bypass on a
zone, press the
key
followed by the zone number.
4. To exit, press the
key twice.
The Zone Status Menu tells you
if the zones of an areas are normal, faulted or bypassed. Depending on your system's programming, you may only be
able to view the Zone Status
Menu for those areas to which
you have rights.
The Zone Status Menu uses the
following abbreviations to summarize a zone's status:
. = Normal. The zone is
ready to be armed.
B = Bypassed. The zone
was bypassed.
F = Faulted. The zone's sensor is faulted.

Resetting After an Alarm:
1. Enter your user code. You see
something like this:
AREA 123456678
STATUS RNAHIRAH
In this example, the "6" is
blinking.
2. To clear the system's alarm
memory, press and hold the
[clear mem] key for
2 seconds until you hear two
beeps. Then, press the area
number (or
, to clear
all areas).
Resetting After an Alarm
When an alarm has occurred in
a given area, that area number
in the Area Status Menu blinks.
You can reset the display by
following the instructions to the
right.
Canceling Alarms
In a partitioned system, you can have simultaneous alarms in
several areas. For example, at the same time, alarms may occur
in areas 2, 3, and 5.
To cancel an alarm in an area, press the
key and enter
your user code. You must have rights to an area to cancel an
alarm in that area. If more than one area is in alarm, the keypad
prompts you to repeat the cancellation command for each of the
areas in alarm.
