Emergency Evacuation Plans
The National Fire Protection Association recommends that you
establish an emergency evacuation plan to safeguard lives in the
event of a fire or other emergency. Use the following steps as a
guide.
Draw a floorplan 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 a window that can be easily opened.
If the window is high off the ground, an escape ladder should be
provided.
Draw arrows on the floorplan 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 the 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.
Practice your escape plans
Devising an escape plan is only the beginning, before the plan can
be effective everyone should practice the escape routes from each
room.
Early detection
The best way to survive a fire or other emergency is to get out early.
The installation of a fire alarm system, with smoke and carbon
monoxide detectors in each room, can greatly decrease your risk of
injury or loss.

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 fire
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’d like to
encourage you to read this guide thoroughly. All the information
contained here can help you quickly, and comfortably, learn the
operation of the Security Command system. If you have any
additional questions, or feel that you need more training, please
don’t hesitate to contact us.
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 fire protection, call the service department to
find 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.

Special Security Command T ones
Your keypad also contains a small speaker that allows it to alert you
to events as they occur on your system. Below are brief descriptions
of the different tones you'll hear from the keypad:
Fire alert: Your keypad may sound a fire tone to alert persons in the
vicinity to the alarm condition. This is in addition to the bell output
from the alarm panel.
Burglary alert: Your keypad may sound a burglary tone to alert
persons in the vicinity to the alarm condition. This is in addition to the
bell output from the alarm panel.
Key press tone: A short beep as you press a key on the keypad.
Prewarn tone: A continuous pulsed tone that sounds when you
open an entry delay door on a system that is armed (turned on)
reminding you to disarm the burglary protection.
Exit delay alert: When your entire system has been armed and an
exit delay is occurring, the keypad will sound warning tones that
indicate the exit delay is about to expire. Two pulsed tones indicate
20 seconds until the exit delay expires. One pulsed tone indicates 10
seconds until the exit delay expires.
Monitor tone: A pulsed tone for one second, one pulse only that
sounds whenever a door or window is opened while you’re using the
zone monitor function from the User Menu. See Zone Monitor.
Trouble tone: A steady tone indicating a trouble condition on your
system. Press a SELECT key to silence the trouble tone.
Zone Activity Check tone: A steady tone indicating no zone activity
has occurred on your system within the programmed period of time.
Press
any
key to silence the tone.
Introduction
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, you
must enter a valid user code to disarm the system or an alarm will
occur.
Instant Zone
Exterior windows and non entry doors, or interior protection devices,
are typically not programmed with delay times. If these zones are
faulted while the system is armed, an alarm occurs instantly.
24 Hour Zone
A 24 hour zone is never assigned to an area and is not turned on or
off by arming or disarming your system. Some examples of 24 hour
zones are: fire zones, panic zones, and temperature control zones.
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.
5
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 more than one alarm or trouble condition occurs at
the same time, the keypad sequences this information on its display.
If your system contains any Panic zones, these are
not
displayed on
the keypad for security reasons.
If an alarm occurs on a non-fire 24 hour zone or a system monitor,
it remains in the Status List until it restores. 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's cleared by disarming the system.
Exit Error
This is an automatic function of the panel that prevents an alarm from
occurring if an exit door doesn't close all the way after the system has
been armed. Here's how it works:
You close all doors and windows, arm the system, and then leave by
the front door. You close the door but it doesn't latch and opens
slightly causing the front door zone to show as an open to the
system. After the exit delay time expires the system attempts to arm
the front door zone but recognizes the open condition and, instead
of sending an alarm report to the central station, sends an Exit Error
report and force arms the door. (If the door closes at a later time it
will be included back into the system.) The system sounds the alarm
sirens for two seconds to alert you of the condition and provide an
opportunity for you to close the door.
The Exit Error feature allows the central station to acknowledge the
arming error without dispatching the police on a false alarm.
Introduction
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, you might see the keypad display FRONT DOOR
BAD *. The asterisk next to BAD means that the zone is a priority
zone, which cannot be bypassed. The problem on the zone must be
corrected before the system can be armed.
Armed Message: After all bypassing is completed or zone faults
corrected, the areas you selected are armed. The keypad briefly
displays ALL SYSTEM ON if all areas in the system are arming and
HOME MODE ON or SLEEP MODE ON if only selected areas are
arming. The keypad then displays the exit delay as it counts down.
Zones are not armed until the exit delay time expires.
If your system uses a keyswitch to arm an area, the exit delay time
is NOT shown on the keypad display.
DIALING . . . Message: If your system is monitored, it may be
programmed to wait for the arming report to be sent to the central
station before displaying the armed message. See Arming Report
below. This is to verify your phone lines are working properly. While
the system is waiting, the display reads DIALING.... If the report is
received, the keypad buzzes for one second and displays the armed
message. If the report is not received, the keypad displays
LOCAL ALARM ONLY before displaying the armed message.
Arming Report: Your system can be programmed to send arming
or zone bypassing reports to a central station. This feature is optional
and can be programmed for you at any time.

Note: You can also just press the area numbers you want to arm
while at the ALL? NO YES display. This changes the display
to AREAS:. The numbers you select appear in the display. For
example: AREAS: 2 4. Press COMMAND when done.
6. The system displays any zones that have been bypassed prior
to arming and any bad 24 hour zones. No action is required.
7. At this point you can force arm or bypass any bad zones. A
zone that is force armed will be restored into the system if it later
returns to normal. A zone that is bypassed will remain bypassed
until the system is disarmed. See steps 7a through 7d.
7a. If a problem exists on any zones, the zone name and
problem are shown followed by: OKAY BYPASS STOP.
7b. Select OKAY to force arm the zone(s) before arming.
7c. Select BYPASS to bypass the zone(s) before arming.
7d. Select STOP to stop the system from arming. Correct the
zone problem(s) and return to step 1.
8. The display reads SYSTEM ON if at least one area in the system
is armed, and ALL SYSTEM ON if all areas in the system are
armed.
9. The keypad then displays the exit time in seconds and counts
down the remaining time: EXIT: # # (# # = seconds remaining).
The keypad will sound the exit delay alert when 20 seconds
remain, and when the delay expires, all zones are armed.
