and off using your personal user code number.
Keypad User Menu
The keypad also provides a User Menu containing all of the
functions you need to fully operate your system, such as the
ability to change a personal user code number.
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 would
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 do not 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.
XRSuper6 Introduction1
Understanding Security System Terms
Throughout this guide and in some displays on your keypad, you
will 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 is no acceptable
substitute. Some common terms are discussed below.
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 is able to 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 is faulted.
Zone
A zone refers to a group of one or more protected openings or
protection devices assigned the same zone number. Each door
or window, motion detector, smoke detector, or other device
has a zone number and a name.
Often, similar devices in the same general area will 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, 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 24hour 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.
2XRSuper6 Introduction
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 event information.
Status
There are two types of status information available: Status List
and Armed Status.
Status List
The keypad Status List displays any alarm or trouble conditions
on a zone and any trouble condition that occurs with the AC
power or battery power. 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 is cleared by disarming the system.
Zone Status
To display the status of a particular zone, enter the zone number
followed by the COMMAND key when the keypad is displaying the
Status List.
Armed Status
With Armed Status, the keypad displays the current armed
condition of areas within your security system.
The keypad displaysWhen
HOME MODE ONThe perimeter area is on in a Home/
Away system
PERIMETER ONThe perimeter is armed in an All/
Perimeter system
ALL SYSTEM ONAll areas are on
SLEEP MODE ONThe 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.
Exit Error
An automatic function of the panel that prevents an alarm from
occurring if an exit door does not close all the way after the
system has been armed. For example, if the front door is left
ajar upon exit and the exit delay time has expired, 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 15 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.

Special Security Command Messages
Below are a few examples of the displays you will see on your
keypad.
ALARM
A 24-hour zone, such as a fire or panic zone, or an armed burglary
zone has been faulted. Your system may sound bells or sirens.
ALARM CANCELLED
This message displays when an authorized user cancels an alarm
condition by entering a valid user code and an “Alarm Cancelled”
report was sent to the central station.
TROUBLE
There is a problem with a protection device or component. This
display is accompanied by a description of the problem.
ENTER CODE
The system requires you to enter a personal user code. User
codes can be required 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.

The system does not recognize the user code that was entered.
Check the user code and try again.
INVALID CODE
The system does not recognize the user code you entered.
SYSTEM TROUBLE or SERVICE REQUIRED
There is an electronic failure in your system. Contact the service
department as soon as possible.
Special Security Command Tones
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 will 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.
Monitor tone: A short tone that sounds for one second whenever
a door or window is opened while you are 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.
What to do when the trouble tone is sounding
You can silence the trouble tone by pressing any one
of the top row Select keys. This only silences the
keypad and does not correct the condition that
originally caused the problem.
XRSuper6 Introduction5
How your System Operates
Your system has been programmed to operate in one of two
modes: All/Perimeter, or Home/Sleep/Away.
• All/Perimeter - Your burglary protection is divided into two
areas: Interior and Perimeter. You can turn on the just the
Perimeter protection while inside for security or turn on both as
you leave.
• Home/Sleep/Away - Your burglary protection is divided into
three areas: Interior, Perimeter, and Bedrooms. You can turn on
the Perimeter, Perimeter and Interior, or all three areas separately .
Regardless of which mode has been programmed, much of the
operation is similar. Throughout this guide, any differences
between the systems are noted for your convenience.
Arming Functions
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 are also displayed.
During arming, the system verifies that all doors, windows, and
other protection devices to be armed are in normal condition.
If everything is alright (normal), the system arms. If there is a
problem on one or more burglary zones the keypad displays the
problem and allows you to 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.
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 bypass reports to a central station. This feature is
optional and can be programmed for you at any time.
6XRSuper6 Introduction
Arming and Disarming
All/Perimeter System Arming
Area Assignment: Y our security system is divided into two separate
areas. Motion detectors, inside doors, and other interior
protection devices are assigned to the Interior area while windows
and exterior doors are assigned to the Perimeter area.
Perimeter or All: When arming an All/Perimeter system, the keypad
displays PERIM ALL. If you select ALL, you arm both the
Perimeter and the Interior of the system. You will want to arm
both of these areas when leaving with nobody left inside.
Selecting PERIM arms only the Perimeter of the system. Perimeter
arming is for when you are staying inside but want the comfort of
knowing the exterior doors and windows are armed.
System Ready/System Not Ready Keypad
Displays
When all zones in the system are in a normal condition, the keypad
displays SYSTEM READY. If there are one or more zones that are
not in a normal condition, the keypad displays SYSTEM NOT READY.
Pressing any top row Select key during this display shows the
zone name allowing you to investigate the problem.
Instant Arming
Instant: During the exit delay time, you can cancel the exit and
entry delays and cause all zones to be instant zones. Press the
far right select key under INSTNT while the exit delay is displayed.
This immediately arms the exit zones. However, no entry delay is
provided and an alarm will occur should an entry door be opened.

down the number of seconds remaining for you to exit. When
the delay expires, all zones are armed.
4. You can select INSTNT while EXIT: ## INSTNT is displayed to
immediately arm all zones and make them instant. The keypad
displays INSTANT.
5. When the system is fully armed, the keypad displays PERIMETERON for perimeter arming and ALL SYSTEM ON for perimeter
and interior arming.
All/Perimeter System Disarming
Disarming: While the system is armed, you can only enter the
premises through an entry/exit delay door without causing an
alarm. After opening the door, the Security Command keypad
sounds a prewarn tone to remind you to disarm the system. You
must disarm the system before the prewarn tone expires or an
alarm on the door zone will occur.
During the prewarn tone, the keypad displays ENTER CODE:. Enter
your user code to disarm the system.
Alarm Display: After disarming, the keypad displays any zones
that tripped or any transmission problems that occurred during
the armed period. All burglary zones are then disarmed and any
bypassed zones are automatically reset.
Disarmed Message: The keypad displays ALL SYSTEM OFF after
the system disarms.
Central Station Report: A report of the system disarming can be
transmitted to the central station. This is optional and can be
programmed for you at any time.
Disarming an All/Perimeter System
1. During the entry delay time, the keypad displays ENTER
CODE:. Enter your user code.
2. The keypad then displays any zones that went into alarm or any
communication problems that occurred during the armed
period.
3. The keypad next displays ALL SYSTEM OFF to confirm the
system is disarmed.
Disarming During an Alarm
1. While the alarm bell or siren is sounding, enter your user
