Introduction

About Your Security System

Your system is designed with your safety and comfort in mind.
It uses the latest in computer technology to create the most

advanced,user friendly,security, re, andaccess control system

available.

The system combines ease of use with a simple to understand
keypad display to offer the full range of features requested by
today’s security system owners. Your security system can protect
both the interior and perimeter of your home or business while you
are away or just the perimeter when you are inside, giving you a
wall of security and peace of mind.

You can turn portions of your protection on or off at any time by
pressing a few keys. You can add, delete, and change personal user
codes at any time or check the status of all protection devices in
the system.

DMP Keypads

This is the device we have placed at certain locations throughout
the premises that allows you to turn the system protection on and
off using your personal user code.

Keypad User Menu

The keypad provides a simple User Menu containing all of the
functions you need to fully operate your system such as changing
the time of day or a personal user code.

A Note About False Alarms

One of the most important concerns facing the security industry
today is false alarms. The accidental dispatching of police and

re agencies places others in jeopardy by limiting the response

capability of those emergency service units.

As part of our commitment to reducing false alarms, we would like
to encourage you to read this guide thoroughly. All the information
contained here can help you quickly, and comfortably, learn the
Security Command™ system operation.

Note: There may be a 30-second alarm communication delay
pre-programmed at installation to allow disarming if a false alarm
occurs. This delay is optional and can be removed or increased to
45 seconds by your alarm dealer.

Test Your System Weekly

It is recommended that you test the burglary portion of your system
at least once each week. Testing should involve an active test of all
doors, windows, and motion detectors connected to your system.

Ifyoursystemalsohasreprotection,calltheservicedepartment
tondouthowthisportionofyoursystemshouldbetested.

Refer to the System Test section of this guide for instructions on
testing the burglary portion of your system.

2 XR20 User’s Guide Introduction

Practice your escape plans

Devising an escape plan is only the beginning. For the plan to be
effective everyone should practice escape routes from each room.

Second Floor

Building Front

Building Back

First Floor

Fire Escape

Window Ladder

Figure 1: Sample Escape Route Map

Early detection

The best way tosurvive a re or other emergency is to get out
early.  A re alarm system installation, with smoke and carbon

monoxide detectors in each room, can greatly decrease your risk
of loss or injury.

Emergency Evacuation Plans

Overview

The National Fire Protection Association recommends that you
establish an emergency evacuation plan to safeguard lives in the

eventofareorotheremergency.

Draw a floor plan of your home or business

On a clean sheet of paper, draw the walls, windows, doors, and
stairs. Also draw any obstacles that a person may encounter while
exiting the building such as large furniture or appliances.

Develop escape routes

Determine at least two routes the occupants in each room can
take to safely escape. One route can be the most obvious such
as the door. Another can be through an easily opened window.
If the window is high off the ground, an escape ladder should be
provided.

Draw arrows on theoor plan to show escaperoutes from each

room.

Decide where to meet

Prearrange a meeting place outside and away from where
emergency personnel are likely to be working. A neighbor’s house
or across the street in front of the house are good locations. Always
perform a head count to make sure all occupants safely exited.
NEVER ENTER A BURNING BUILDING. If the head count shows one
or more persons missing, give this information immediately to the
authorities. Never enter a building to look for someone.

ALARM NOT SENT

The alarm signal was aborted and was not sent to the central
station because a user code was entered to disarm the system
before the alarm signal was sent to the central station. Also, your
system may be pre-programmed at installation to send an Abort
signal to the Central Station. Refer to the Introduction section of
this guide.

ALARM VERIFIED

Avalidburglaralarmhasoccurredandhasbeenmanuallyveried

by the user. The alarm system also transmits a VERIFY message to
the Central Station.

ALARM CANCELLED

An Alarm signal just sent to the central station was cancelled
because a user code was entered after the alarm was sent. Also,
an Alarm Cancel signal is sent to the Central Station.

ENTER CODE

The system requires you to enter a personal user code. User codes
can be used for turning your system on (arming), turning your
system off (disarming), and other system options.

As you enter your user code, the keypad display shows an asterisk
(*) in place of each digit pressed. This prevents others from seeing
your user code on the display as you enter it.

TRY AGAIN

The user code you entered is not recognized by the system. Check
the user code and try again.

INVALID CODE

The user code you entered is considered invalid by the system.

Special Wireless Displays

Your system may use wireless transmitters to send alarm and
trouble information from the protection devices to the panel.
Wireless systems have a few unique keypad displays.

BACK DOOR -LOBAT - (Low Battery) The battery in a wireless
transmitter is low. (BACK DOOR is used as an example only.)

BACK DOOR -MISNG - (Missing) The panel is not receiving the
wireless transmitter periodic test report.

WIRELESS -TRBL - (Trouble) Some part of your wireless system is
operating improperly. Call the service department for assistance.

WIRELESS RECEIVER JAMMED -ALARM - Your system may be
programmed for wireless interference detection and, if displayed,
your wireless receiver has detected an interfering signal while the
system is armed.

WIRELESS RECEIVER JAMMED -TRBL - (Trouble) Your system may be
programmed for wireless interference detection and, if displayed,
your wireless receiver has detected an interfering signal while the
system is disarmed.

Special Keypad Displays

As you use your system, you may occasionally see a keypad display
that asks you to enter a user code or describes a condition on the
system. Below are some examples of the displays you may see.

ALARM

A24-hourzone,suchasareorpaniczone,oranarmedburglary

zone is faulted. Your system may sound bells or sirens.

Introduction XR20 User’s Guide 9

TRBL (TROUBLE)

There is a problem with a protection device or system component.
This display is accompanied by a description of the problem.

SYSTEM TROUBLE or SERVICE REQUIRED

There is an electronic failure in your system. Contact the service
department as soon as possible.

TEST IN PROGRESS

The system is currently being tested by an installation or service
technician.

Understanding Security System Terms

Throughout this guide, and in some displays on your keypad, you
may see certain words or phrases that might be unfamiliar. Although
every effort has been made to use terms that are commonly known,
there are some for which there was no acceptable substitute.

Below are some terms you may see here and on the keypad
display.

Arming

This is the term used for turning on the burglary protection in one
or more areas of the system. Your system may require you to enter
a user code. When armed, the system can sound alarm bells or
sirens and, if monitored, send alarm reports to a central station
when a burglary zone is faulted.

Fire, panic, and other 24-hour devices are always turned on and do
not need to be armed.

Disarming

This means turning off one or more areas of the system. When
disarmed, the system does NOT sound alarms or send alarm reports
to a central station when a burglary zone faults.

Zone

A zone refers to one or more protected openings or pro tection
devices assigned the same zone number. Each door or window,
motion detec tor, smoke detector, or other device has a zone
number and a name.

Often, similar devices in the same general area share the same
zone. For example, the windows on the east side of the premises
can all be grouped together in a zone named E. WINDOWS.

Entry or Exit Zone

Almost all systems have one or more doors through which you can
enter or exit the premises. These doors are programmed with a
delay time to allow you to enter or exit while the system is armed
without setting off the alarm.

When you arm the system, activity on all burglary zones is ignored
until the programmed exit delay time expires. Once that time has
expired and the system is fully armed, opening the door causes the
panel to start the entry delay time. During the entry delay time,
enter a valid user code to disarm the system or an alarm occurs.

Instant Zone

Exterior windows and non-entry doors, or interior protection
devices, are typically not programmed with delay times. If these
zones fault while the system is armed, an alarm occurs instantly.

24-Hour Zone

A 24-hour zone is not turned on or off by arming or disarm ing your

system.  Some examples of 24-hour zones are re zones, panic

zones, and temperature control zones.

10 XR20 User’s Guide Introduction

Areas

An area is made up of burglary zones that can be armed or
disarmed together. The Perimeter area, for example, consists of
all the doors and windows on the outside of the building. When you
arm the Perimeter, these zones sound an alarm if tripped.

Central Station Monitoring

Your system can also be programmed to automatically send alarm,
trouble, and arming and disarming reports to a central station.
Operators at the central station can then dispatch the appropriate

authoritiesorcontactyouwiththespeciceventinformation.

Status

Status is a feature that automatically displays the system armed
or dis armed status on the keypads. Alarm or trouble con ditions
on a zone or a system monitor such as AC or battery trouble can
also display. There are two types of status information available:
Status List and Armed Status.

Status List

The keypad Status List displays any alarm or trouble condition on
a zone and any trouble condition that occurs with the AC power or
battery power. If your system contains any Panic zones, these do
not display on the keypad for security reasons.

Ifanalarmoccursonanon-re,24-hourzoneorasystemmonitor,

it remains in the Sta tus List until it re stores. If one or more armed
burglary zones trips, the last one to trip remains in the Status List.
The burglary zone alarm remains in the Status List for several
minutes or until it is cleared by disarming the system.

Armed Status

With Armed Status, the keypad displays the current armed condition
of areas within your security system.

The keypad displays When
HOME MODE ON The perimeter areas is armed in a

Home/Away system.

PERIMETER ON The perimeter is armed in an All/

Perimeter system.

ALL SYSTEM ON All areas are on.

SLEEP MODE ON The perimeter and interior areas are on

but the bedroom area is off.

Also, for keypads that include an Armed LED, the Armed LED is ON
steady anytime a burglary protection area is armed and OFF when
ALL areas are disarmed.

Zone Status

To display the status of a particular zone, enter the zone number
followed by the COMMAND key when the keypad displays the Status
List.

Exit Error

This is an automatic panel function that prevents an alarm from
occurring if an exit door does not close all the way after the system
is armed.

For example, if the front door is left ajar upon exit and the exit
delay time expires, the system attempts to arm the front door zone
but recognizes the open condition. The system sounds the alarm
sirens for two seconds to alert you of the condition.

If the open condition is not corrected, the system sends an Exit
Error report to the central station and force arms the door. If the
door closes at a later time, it is included back into the system.

The Exit Error feature allows the central station to acknowledge
the arming error without dispatching the police on a false alarm.

Arming and Disarming XR20 User’s Guide 11

How Your System Operates

Your system has been programmed to operate in one of three
modes: Area, All/Perimeter or Home/Sleep/Away.

• Area — Your burglary protection is divided into up to four

areas. Each area can have a custom name, be turned on or
off independently of other areas, and limit access to only those
users with proper authority.

• All/Perimeter — Your burglary protection is divided into two

areas: Interior and Perimeter.

Perimeter arming is for when you are staying inside but want

the comfort of knowing the exterior doors and windows are
armed. Perimeter arming allows you to move freely about
inside without setting off any interior alarms.

All arms both the Perimeter and the Interior of the system. You

want to arm both of these areas when leaving the building and
no one is left inside.

• Home/Sleep/Away — Your burglary protection is divided into

two or three areas: Perimeter, Interior, and Bedrooms.

Home (Perimeter) arming is for when you are staying inside but

want the comfort of knowing the exterior doors and windows are
armed.

Sleep (Perimeter and Interior) arms all areas except those near

bedrooms and nighttime areas.

Away (Perimeter, Interior, and Bedrooms) arms all three areas

for when you leave the building and no one is left inside.

Regardless of which mode is programmed, much of the operation
is similar. Throughout this guide, any differences between the
systems are noted for your convenience.

Arming Functions

Arming:Duringarming,thesystemveriesthatalldoors,windows,

and other protection devices to be armed are in normal condition.
If everything is normal, the system arms. If there is a problem on
one or more burglary zones, the keypad displays the problem and
allows you to correct the problem or bypass those zones.

If the problem can be corrected by closing a door or window, do
not bypass the zone. Instead, correct the problem and try arming
again. If the problem cannot be corrected, you can bypass the zone
or wait until the zone can be repaired by a service technician. A
bypassed zone is ignored by the system during the armed period.

In some cases the keypad might display FRONT DOOR - FAULT.
The keypad may then display PRIORITY ZONE, which is a zone that
cannot be bypassed. The problem on the zone must be corrected
before the system can be armed.

After making your arming selection, the keypad displays any zones
that are currently bypassed. These zones remain bypassed until
the system is armed and then disarmed. Any 24-hour zones in a
faulted condition also display.

Exit Delay: The keypad then displays the exit delay time as it
counts down. Your system may be pre-programmed at installation
to beep the exit delay tone at eight-second intervals until the
last 10 seconds when the keypad beeps at three-second intervals.
After exiting the building, if you re-enter during the countdown the
exit countdown restarts, allowing additional time to then disarm
or again exit the building during the countdown. This restart
can occur only one time. When the exit delay time ex pires, all
disarmed zones are armed. If your system uses a keyswitch to arm
an area, the exit delay time does NOT count down on the keypad
display.

When you arm both the Perimeter and Interior to leave the building
but then you do not exit by the time the exit delay ends, the
system automatically arms but the interior area(s) will remain
disarmed because you have not exited.

Should you exit the building and the door does not close properly,
your system may be programmed so that when the exit delay
countdown ends, then the entry delay starts and the bell will sound
to alert you to the situation. Enter your user code to stop the bell
and disarm the system. Rearm the system, exit the building, and
make sure the door is securely closed.

DIALING . . . Message: If your system is monitored, it may be
programmed to wait for the arming report to be sent to the central

Bypass Zones

User Code Level: Master or Standard.

Function: Allows you to bypass a zone prior to arming the system.

Bypassing is usually done when a zone cannot be restored to normal
and you want to arm the system. Once bypassed, the system does
not respond to any activity on the zone.

A zone can be bypassed only while it is disarmed. Since Fire, Panic,
Emergency, and Supervisory zones are always armed, they can
never be bypassed.

The Bypass Zones function can also be used to restore a bypassed
zone back into the system. This can only be done while the zone
is disarmed.

Your system may be pre-programmed at installation to send a bypass
report to your central station when Bypass Zones is selected.

Using the Bypass Zones Function

1. Access the User Menu.

2. Press the COMMAND key until BYPASS ZONES? displays.

3. Press any Select key. The keypad displays ZONE - RST

(doors, windows, or motion detectors). When a monitored zone
trips, the keypad sounds a tone and displays the zone name. This
is an ideal feature for monitoring door zones to tell when someone
comes in or goes out and for system testing.

You can place any combination of disarmed zones in Zone Monitor
but only the most recently tripped zone displays. The displayed
zone name clears automatically after a short time or when the
zone is armed. Zone Monitor does not function while the system
is armed but a zone placed into the Zone Monitor is still monitored
when the system is disarmed.

Pager Direct™ User’s Guide

For your reference a Pager Direct™ pocket guide is provided on the
last page of this User’s Guide.

Pager Direct uses your security system reporting capability to dial
your pager number and send reports in much the same way as
someone sending you a pager message would do. You can receive
reports of alarms, troubles, or system armings and disarmings and
know at a glance your system status.

The PagerDirect™ numeric message provides the account number,
type of message, the zone affected, and the user.

Whenever the system sends a message to your pager, it will always

sendtheaccountnumberrsttoidentifyitself.Aftertheaccount,

PhoneAccess™ User’s Guide

For your reference a PhoneAccess™ pocket guide is provided on the
last page of this User’s Guide.

This exciting feature allows you to call your XR20 system from any
outside touch-tone phone to arm and disarm protection areas or
turn panel relay outputs on or off. Faulted zones force arm when
the area arms.

How it works

Note: If your telephone system shares the phone line with a fax
machine or answering machine, call and let the phone ring once,
then hang up, and redial. The panel seizes the phone line so you
can check system status and arm or disarm the system.

1. From a touch tone phone, call the system phone number.
The XR20 answers and sounds a short ready tone.

2. You now have eight seconds to enter a valid Master user
code. If the panel accepts the user code, you hear one or
more beeps indicating the system current armed status.

 The following table identies the beeps and what they

represent.

If You will hear

All areas are armed 3 short beeps
Area 1 (Perimeter) is armed 1 short beep
Any area is armed 2 short beeps
All areas are disarmed 1 long beep

Note:Youcanalsondoutthesystemarmedstatusbypressing

the * key at any time.

3. If the user code is not accepted by the panel, you hear four
short beeps. Check the user code and try again. After three
unsuccessful attempts to enter the code, the panel locks
out PhoneAccess™ until a valid user code is entered at a
keypad.

4. Once the user code is accepted by the panel and the
armed status is given, you can enter arming and disarming
commands.
