Your Security System
Y our security system includes a number of detection devices, such
as magnetic contacts, glassbreak detectors, smoke detec-
tors, and motion sensors. These devices identify alarm conditions 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 flash.
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 blinks its LEDs. 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.

Understanding the Lights (LEDs)
Zone LEDs
If off
, the zone is normal.
If on
, a sensor in the zone detects a
problem. (The zone is said to be faulted.)
If blinking fast
, a sensor in the zone is
signaling an alarm, or the zone's sensor
has been tampered with.
If blinking slowly
, the zone is bypassed.
If blinking unevenly
, a sensor in the zone
may need service. (This is called a
trouble zone.)
Power LED
If on
, the system's power
supply is normal.
If off
, the keypad is drawing
power from the battery .
If blinking slowly
, the battery is
low (call for service).
Service LED
If on
, a system
component is
malfunctioning and
may need service.
If off
, all system
components are
normal.
Arm LED
If on
, the system is armed.
If off
, the system is disarmed.
If blinking fast,
the system is about
to arm; leave the building.
If blinking slowly
, you have time to
cancel an alarm, before it
sounds.
If blinking unevenly
, system is
armed with instant arming.
Your keypad has a number of LEDs that summarize the status of
your security system. Each LED can convey several different messages by being on, off, or blinking. The illustration shows what
messages the lights communicate.
LED Blink Rates
Slow: light blinks twice every three seconds
Fast: light blinks three times every two seconds
Uneven: light blinks for three seconds, then pauses for two seconds
Ready LED
If on
, the system can
be armed.
If off
, a problem exists
which may prevent
arming.
If all of the
LEDs are
blinking,
enter your
user code.

User Codes
7
About User Codes and User Numbers
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.
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.
A user code is a secret four-digit number, used to arm and dis-
arm the system, and possibly to make other changes. You cannot assign the same user code to more than one user number . It
is important to remember your user code, and to keep it secret.
Every individual who has a user code is also assigned a two-digit
user number. When you change or delete a user code, you are
asked for the user number.
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.

User Codes
8
How to Assign or Change User Codes
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
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 to a different number .
Do not assign the code 5832
to another user.
Y our LED keypad does not display the user code assigned to
a user number. However, if
your system has an alphanumeric or icon keypad, you can
use these keypads to view the
user codes which have been
assigned to the system's users.
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 keep these records
in a safe place.
To Assign or Change
a User Code:
1. Press and hold the
[user prg] key for 2 seconds
until you hear two beeps.
2. Enter the master user
code. Next, enter the 2-digit
user number you wish to
change. To determine the
next available user number,
press the
key.
The zone LEDs light to identify the next available user
number . Compare the pattern
of lit zone LEDs to the chart
on the next page to determine
the user number.
3. Enter the new 4-digit user
code. The display changes to
indicate the next available
user number.
4. To exit, press and hold the
key for 2 seconds.

You will know that you entered
an incorrect 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.
How to Correct a User Code Entry
To Correct a User
Code Entry:
1. Re-enter code.
How to Delete a User Code
You may delete a code by
changing that code to 0000.
Follow the procedure for assigning or changing a user
code.
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 assigned user code.

Selecting the Right User Number
At installation, each user number is assigned rights and privileges. For example, user number 18 may have the right to arm,
disarm, and bypass zones. This is true even if, in this example,
there is no user 18 using the system. Thus, when you 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.
Y our installer should
have provided you with specific information about how your system was configured. Refer to this information to select the proper
user number.

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.
(See Note 1 on page 62.)
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 Delay
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;
if so, it beeps faster during the last ten seconds. If any zones are
faulted (not ready to be armed), the corresponding zone LED
lights and the Ready LED is off.

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 notready 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.
(See Note 1 on page 62.)
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 building
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 .

When you manually bypass a
zone, the security system functions as if that zone does not
exist. Bypassed zones are
not protected.
The master user can bypass
any zone which is programmed
for bypassing. Other users
may have limited rights to bypass zones, depending on your
system's programming.
Restoring bypassed zones. If
you manually bypass a 24-hour
zone, such as a smoke detector, that zone remains bypassed until you restore it.
However, if you manually bypass a zone which is not a 24hour zone, that zone is restored
when you disarm the system.
Bypassing
To Bypass a Zone:
1. When a zone is faulted,
the zone's LED is lit. To
bypass the zone, press the
key. All of the
LEDs are off.
2. Enter the two-digit zone
number. (For zones 1-9,
enter a "0" first.) The
LED of the bypassed zone
blinks. If the zone cannot be bypassed, you hear
a 3-second error tone.
3. Enter your user code. The
zone's LED blinks.
To Restore a Bypassed Zone:
1. Repeat the procedure
above. The zone operates
normally .

To Restore a Bypassed Zone
with Quick Bypassing:
1. Follow the above procedure
to manually bypass a zone.
The zone operates normally.
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. (See Note 1
on page 62.)

Optional Arming Features
Your system offers several optional arming features, described
below. Refer to Section 8 to see which features 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 up to 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 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 until you hear
two beeps. Then, enter your user code, and exit. (Depending
upon 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.

Optional Arming Features (continued)
Automatic Home-Arming. Automatic Home-Arming allows you
to remain inside a building while its perimeter sensors (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).
Any arming command with an
exit delay may be canceled before the system is armed. To
cancel an arming sequence,
enter your user code during the
exit delay.

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 upon 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 buzzes during the last ten seconds.
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.

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
the 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 system malfunction early. 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. Keep pets (and other animals) from motion and infra-
red sensors. If you have obtained a pet since your security
system was installed, your system may need to be modified.
Contact your dealer for more information.

Disarm/Alarms
How to Prevent False Alarms (continued)
8. Bypass trouble zones. If you have one or more trouble
zones (zones with sensors that may need service), bypass
them before arming your system. Have the sensor(s) inspected if the problem continues. Remember that bypassed
zones are not protected.
9. Make sure your system clock and calendar are accu-
rate. 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
Time). Also, check your system's clock and calendar after
a power failure. See Section 5 for more information.
Optional Alarm Features
Your system offers additional optional alarm features, described
below. Refer to Section 8 to see which of 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 the system is programmed.

How to Set the Calendar and Clock
If your system's calendar or clock
is incorrect, it could result in false
alarms. Since many system
functions are time-dependent,
it is important to regularly adjust your system's calendar
and clock.
NOTE: Y our LED keypad does
not display the current date and
time. Therefore, when you set
the date and time, be sure to
enter the numbers carefully.
Reset the calendar and clock
after seasonal time changes,
such as Daylight Savings T ime.
Also, even if your system has
a backup battery, it is best to
check the calendar and clock
following a power failure.
NOTE: your system's clock
uses a 24-hour, or militarystyle, format. For example, in
a 24-hour format, 1:00 p.m. is
expressed as 13:00. When

How to W alk-Test the System
A walk-test allows you to test
your system's functions without
causing an alarm. You should
conduct 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 lights the LED of
the most recently faulted 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. (The
LED of a bypassed zone blinks
slowly.) If the zone is bypassed, remove the bypass
and repeat the walk-test. If
your system still fails to detect
the sensor, contact your service representative.
IMPORTANT: during a walktest, your building is not protected against actual alarms.
To Conduct a Walk-Test:
1. Press and hold the
[walk test] key for 2 seconds
until you hear two beeps.
Enter the master user code.
Y ou see the following pattern
of lit zone LEDs:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
2. Press the key.
3. Test your sensors by opening
protected doors and windows, and by walking in front
of motion sensors. The keypad beeps twice each time
you open and close a protected door or window, or a
motion detector senses your
presence. The affected zone
LED lights.

Common System Messages
Below is an explanation of the common messages your keypad
might display. Beside each message is a discussion of what responses are appropriate. If you find the response is ineffective,
call your local C&K service representative.
You can get more than one error message at a time. For example, you may note the Zone 3 LED is blinking slowly , the Zone
6 LED is steadily lit, and the Ready LED is unlit. This means that
Zone 3 is bypassed, Zone 6 is faulted, and the system is not
ready to arm.
If you notice: That means: What to do:
Power LED is off
Zone LED is on
Zone LED blinks
unevenly
Zone LED blinks
quickly (3 blinks in 2
seconds)
Zone LED

arm.
A sensor may need
service (trouble zone).
The sensor has been
tampered with, or has
signaled an alarm.
A sensor may need
service.
Any one of your
sensors may be
faulted.
The zone is bypassed.
Verify that the rest of the building is
receiving power; then call for service.
Correct the fault (by closing doors and
windows) or bypass the zone.
Bypass the sensor, or arrange for
repair.
Reset the system, as described in
Section 4. If LED continues to blink,
call for service.
Call for service.
Depending upon your arming type,
your system may be able to arm. If

What Areas Do
The S5832 control panel 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 certain areas. Users
can arm and disarm only those
areas to which they have rights.
When a building is divided into
areas, portions of the building
Diagram 1

Areas
7
Diagram 2
Partitioned building
with no common area
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.
2. Keypads may respond differently, depending upon
where they are located and
how they are programmed.
Your LED keypad is limited to
handling information about its
assigned area only.

How Areas Affect User Codes
As described below , some of the user code types function dif ferently
in a partitioned system.
Area
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.
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 pre-assigned
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 hear an error tone.

How Areas Affect the System
If your building is divided into areas, your LED keypad is assigned
to one area only. From the LED keypad, you can only make
changes that affect that area alone. This is described in more
detail below.
Arming and disarming. Your LED keypad can be used to
arm and disarm its assigned area only. You cannot disarm
other areas from the LED keypad.
Bypassing. You can use the LED keypad to bypass only
those zones within the assigned area.
Obtaining other system information. From the LED keypad, you can get information about the zones within the assigned area only.
Canceling alarms. You can only cancel alarms occurring
within the assigned area.

Where to Place Smoke Detectors
One or more of the zones of your security system can be connected
to a smoke detector. When installing smoke detectors, we recommend that you follow the United States' National Fire Protection
Association's guidelines for smoke detector placement.
For the best early warning, smoke detectors should be installed in
every room. At least one smoke detector should be installed in a
central location, near the bedrooms. In new construction, a smoke
detector must be installed in each bedroom.
Smoke detectors should also be installed in living rooms, closets,
utility and storage rooms, basements, and attached garages. One
detector should be placed on every floor.
For more information, contact the National Fire Protection Association at Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269. Ask about

Every household and business should prepare for a fire by
establishing escape routes and regularly practicing escapes. The
National Fire Protection Association recommends you take the
following steps to develop your own emergency plan:
1. Determine at least two means of escape from every room,
especially bedrooms. Remember that normal exits, such as
doors, may be blocked. Plan for family members to meet outside
at a specific location.
2. Sketch your escape plans (like those below). Post copies of the
escape plan in each room. Keep escape routes free from obstructions.
3. Keep all bedroom
doors shut when
sleeping, to prevent
deadly smoke from
entering the rooms.
4. In the event of a
fire, do not open a
warm or hot door.
Even if a door is cool,
open it with your
shoulder, and be
ready to shut it immediately if hot air
rushes in.
5. Move quickly out
of the house. Do not
panic. If the house
