User’s Manual 3
Your Digiplex Security System is an advanced technology security system that will provide you with reliable security
protection and powerful features that are easy to use. The elegant and user-friendly LCD keypad will allow you easy
access to your security system's functions and information at the touch of a button. The 32-character LCD screen
will display messages and menus to guide you through the system’s operations. Your Installer can even customize
the messages for your home or business.
Since you will communicate your instructions to your system through the keypad, please read this manual carefully
and have your Installer explain basic system operation.
If you have the InTouch Voice Assisted Arm/Disarm Module (APR3-ADM2) connected to your Digiplex security
system, please refer to page 19 for operating instructions.

2.2CONFIDENTIAL MODE
Your Installer can program keypads to not display the status of your system automatically by changing the LCD
screen to Confidential Mode. In Confidential Mode:
• The zones and status messages will NOT be displayed
• The indicator lights will NOT illuminate
• Depending on how your keypad was programmed by your installer, you must either press a button or enter your User
Access Code to illuminate the indicator lights and activate Normal Mode.
2.3PARTITIONED SYSTEM
A separated system is called a Partitioned System, which can be useful in situations where shared security systems
are more practical. Your installer can design your system to recognize up to four separate protected areas. For
example, a company that has both an office area and a warehouse area can arm and disarm each area separately
and control the access to each area.
If you have access to more than one area, and you need to select a specific area(s) when prompted by your LCD
keypad, follow either one of the following three methods to make your selection:
• Press the keypad button corresponding to the area you wish to select (i.e. 1, 2,...4).
• Press the [0] button for all areas.
• Use the [pp] and [qq] buttons, and press [ENTER] when the area you want to select appears on the screen.
2.4AREA STATUS DISPLAY
The Area Status Display
allows you to view the status
of the selected areas in a
Partitioned System (Refer to
section 2.3 on page 5).
How do I see the status of the areas?

• “Trouble(s)”: (section 7.0 on page 14) if a trouble has occurred.
• “Alarms in Memory”: (section 4.3 on page 8) if an alarm has occurred.
• “Armed” ; “Force Armed” ; “Instant Armed” ; “Stay Armed”: displays the arming status of the selected area.
When your system is armed, it can respond to any breach in the protected zones by causing an alarm and sending
a report to your Central Monitoring Station.
3.1EXIT DELAY TIMER
When you arm your system, it will trigger the Exit Delay Timer to provide you with enough time to exit the protected
area before the system is armed.
3.2REGULAR ARMING

5.3PROGRAMMING USER ACCESS CODES
The System Master and Users with the Master feature can program User Access Codes with User Options and
Area Assignments. Figure 5.1 on page 9 describes the steps you would follow to program User Access Codes.
If the keypad emits a Rejection Beep at any point during the programming procedure, you may have chosen an
existing User Code or you do not have access to certain User Options (section 5.4) and Area Assignments (step 7
in Figure 5.1 on page 9). User’s with the Master feature can only assign User Options and Area Assignments that
they are assigned to. For example, if a User with the Master feature is assigned User Option 1 and Area 2, they can
only assign Options 1 and Area 2 to a User Access Code.

Buttons to be pressed and held
simultaneously
9.2FIRE ALARM TESTING
Do NOT use an open flame or burning materials to test your fire detection devices. Your Installer will provide details
on the best way to test your system.
16 User’s Manual
9.3SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
Under normal use your system requires no maintenance other than regular testing. We recommend that your
Installer change the battery every three years.
9.4SYSTEM TEST
Speak to your Installer before
conducting a System Test
since the system must be
programmed to respond to
the test instructions. It is
normally recommended that
you conduct the system test
once a week, but contact your
Installer for instructions
concerning your particular
system.
10.0 FIRE AND BURGLAR ALARMS
10.1STANDARD FIRE ZONE
During a fire alarm, the bell/
siren emits an intermittent
sound (BEEP-BEEP-BEEP) until
silenced or reset. If the zone
is a Standard Fire Zone, your
system can immediately send
an alert to your Central
Monitoring Station.
How do I conduct the system test?
1) Call your Central Monitoring Station to advise them that you are testing your
system.
2) Enter your [ACCESSCODE].
3) Press the [8] button.
The system will test all its connections and can send a report to your Central
Monitoring Station. If the system detects a problem, the Trouble Display will
show on the LCD screen (Refer to section 7.0 on page 14). Call your
Installer for repairs if any Troubles occur.
How do I disarm a false alarm?
1) Enter your [ACCESSCODE] on the keypad.
2) Call your Central Monitoring Station quickly to advise them of the false
alarm.
The Fire Zone may reset itself once the problem has cleared. If it does not, simultaneously
press and hold the [CLEAR] and [ENTER] buttons for two seconds.
10.2DELAYED FIRE ZONE
If the zone is a Delayed Fire
Zone, there is an automatic
delay before your system
contacts your Central
Monitoring Station. Refer to
Figure 10.1 on page 18 to
prevent unnecessary
reporting of false alarms.
If you are unable to cancel the false alarm, your system will send an alert. Call your Central
Monitoring Station to advise them of the false alarm.
The Fire Zone may reset itself once the smoke has cleared. If it does not, simultaneously
press and hold the [CLEAR] and [ENTER] buttons for two seconds or speak to your installer.
What do I do if the fire alarm is accidentally triggered?
1) Press the [CLEAR] button within 30 seconds of the alarm.
2) Clear the problem from the area (i.e. clear the smoke from around the smoke
detector).
3) If the problem remains after 90 seconds, the alarm will sound again. Press
[CLEAR] again.
The system will delay reporting the alert for another 30 seconds.

10.3FIRE SAFETY TIPS
How should you prepare in case of a fire in your home or business?
• Remind everyone to escape first, then call for help.
• Develop a fire escape plan and designate a meeting place outside.
• Practice the escape plan frequently.
• Plan two ways to escape from every room, if possible.
• Practice feeling the way out with eyes closed.
• Instruct everyone never to stand up during a fire, always crawl under the smoke and keep mouths covered.
• Instruct everyone never to return to a burning building for any reason; it may cost them their life.
• Check smoke alarms regularly. Working smoke alarms dramatically increase everyone's chances of surviving a fire.
Figure 10.1: Delayed Fire Zone
10.4MINIMIZING HOME FIRE HAZARDS
How can you avoid the three most common causes of fires at home?
• Never leave cooking food unattended. It is the leading cause of fire injuries. Cooking fires often result from unattended
cooking and human error, rather than mechanical failure.
• Stay alert when smoking. Careless smoking is the leading cause of fire deaths. Smoke detectors and smolder-resistant
bedding and upholstered furniture are significant fire deterrents.
• Maintain your heating system. Faulty heating systems are the second leading cause of residential fires.
10.5HOME FIRE WARNING SYSTEM
Household fires are especially dangerous at night. Fires produce smoke and deadly gases that can overcome
occupants while they sleep. To warn against fire, smoke detectors should be installed outside each separate
sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on each additional story of the family living unit,
including basements.
10.6BURGLAR ALARM
If your armed system is breached, the burglar alarm devices specific to your system will be triggered. If your keypad
is in Normal Mode:
• The Status Light may flash red
• “In Alarm” will appear on LCD screen.
• Bell or siren may be activated
In case of a burglar alarm, leave the premises and call the police station from a safe place.

Voice-Assisted Arm/Disarm Module
Operating Instructions
11.0 INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on choosing the Paradox InTouch Voice-Assisted Arm/Disarm Module (APR3-ADM2). InTouch
turns any touch-tone telephone into a keypad. With InTouch, you can now arm or disarm your Digiplex security
system as well as activate or deactivate your InTouch’s output all from your telephone. Using detailed voice prompts
to guide your way, the InTouch is as simple as picking up your telephone.
12.0 ACCESS CODES
InTouch uses your Digiplex User Access Code to grant you access to your Digiplex Security System. The User
Access Code entered on your Digiplex system keypad is the same you would use to enter on your telephone.
13.0 HOW DO I USE IT?
STEP 1:Pick up your telephone and dial the telephone number of the line that your InTouch is connected to. The
InTouch will now ask you to enter your Digiplex User Access Code.
STEP 2:Enter your Digiplex User Access Code.
If your Digiplex Security System is programmed to accept variable code lengths, you must
press the [#] key after entering your User Access Code.
STEP 3:Keys [1] to [4] on your telephone represent areas 1 to 4. To arm or disarm your Digiplex Security System,
press the desired area’s number on your telephone. This will toggle the area’s arming state from armed to
disarmed and vice versa (refer to section 16.0 on page 20).
STEP 4:To activate or deactivate the InTouch’s output, press the [#] key and then the [0] key (refer to section 16.0
on page 20).
14.0 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
14.1WHEN ACCESSING YOUR INTOUCH...
• If you are using an answering machine or service, call the InTouch, hang up after one ring, wait between 10 and 255
seconds (depending on how Intouch was programmed by your Installer), and then call the InTouch again to access it.
14.2WHEN ARMING OR DISARMING...
• You will only be able to arm or disarm areas that your User Code has access to.
• If you were to arm an area with an open zone, Digiplex will Force arm the area. This will only happen with User Access
Codes that have the Force arming feature enabled.
14.3WHEN ACTIVATING OR DEACTIVATING A PGM...
• Your InTouch’s output can be used to turn on lights, open or close a garage door and much more. Ask your installer
about this useful feature.
• If the InTouch’s output is not operational, you will not be able to activate or deactivate the output.
LCD Keypad 19
• Your installer can program the output to deactivate either manually or follow a timer. If programmed to be deactivated
manually, the output will remain activated until you deactivate it. If programmed to follow a timer, the output will
deactivate after the timer has elapsed.
14.4WHEN USING YOUR INTOUCH...
• In some cases, your telephone’s tone may not be powerful enough to interrupt the InTouch’s voice prompt. If this is the
case, simply wait for the InTouch’s voice prompt to finish before entering your action.
• If your Digiplex Security System and InTouch share the same telephone number, you may be interrupted at times when
using your InTouch.
