THERE IS NO REASON TO BE IN ANY SECTION OF YOUR SYSTEM UNLESS IT IS

ON THIS QUICK START GUIDE. If you do not see it here, please question if you

Even though your Alexor/Impassa comes factory defaulted; you might want to default the system
just to make sure you have a clean slate to work with. To do this; follow the steps below:

You will have to enroll the keypad to do the following. To enroll the keypad press any button on the
keypad. You will then see a message that states that the keypad needs enrolled and then the keypad
will tell you to hold down the ‘1’ & '*’ keys. The keypad will enroll. Note: You must enroll the
keypad within 3 minutes of plugging in the main control panel.

To default the system you will enter into programming mode by typing:

• *8 5555 on the keypad

• You will then be asked for ‘Section’ .. Enter in 999

• You will then be asked to enter Installer code .. Enter 5555

programming for

should be doing it.

the

Alexo

r and Impassa

• The keypad should beep and then ask you for ‘Section’ again .. Enter 999 again

You system will now be fully defaulted back to factory settings and your keypad will not
respond and will need enrolled again.

Here is a Sample Alarm Kit we will use for an example:

Before beginning you want to place the batteries in all the devices, except motions. Have
all devices laid in front of you in a nice order. You will put the batteries in the motion
sensors at the time you are ready to enroll them. With the door/window contacts, place the
transmitter and magnets side by side, as if they were mounted on a door or window (pay
attention to the arrows or lines on the side of the devices. These indicate where the devices
should line up with the magnets).

Installer

Code by default is 1234

Code by default is 5555 - (Do not ever lose this number, this is your only way

into programming. If you change it, you better remember it.)

You will always enter into programming by pressing *8 and the

installer cod

e (5555).

Taking the Sample Alarm Kit above and using the common Zone Definitions, here is what
we want to do with the system. We will make the Front Door sensor delayed in zone 01,
the Smoke Alarm will be standard 24 hour monitoring in zone 02, the Bedroom Window
Sensor we will have instant arming and disarming in zone 03. The

Living Room

Motion

will be an Interior device that will have a stay/away capabilities in zone 04.

Here is a list of the most common Zone Definitions:

• Definition 01 = Delay 1 (ie: door with a certain time of delay)

• Definition 02 = Delay 2 (ie: door with a different delay time)

• Definition 03 = Instant (ie: window sensors or doors that do not need a delay)

• Definition 05 = Interior Stay/Away (This setting is usually for motions. The

motion is bypassed if a delay zone is triggered, giving you the ability to walk in
front of the motion to get to a keypad. This will also bypass your motion if you are
staying “stay” home.)

• Definition 88 = Standard 24hr Fire (wireless)

• Pr

ess

*6 to set the time, next enter your master code (1234 is default), then press

1. You will enter the four digit time in 24 hour format (military time) then enter
the six digit date example: So if it is 2:30p on October 21, 2008, you would enter 1430

102108, the system will then beep and you would then hit # # # .

Adding Zone Definitions

(Program

Section 001),

We will begin adding our Zone Definitions and will use the above chart for reference and
we will go straight down the list which begins with Zone Number 01. We will only enter
the definitions. After each two-digit definition, the system will beep and automatically want
the definition for the next zone. You will not enter zone numbers here, only definitions, and
those must be entered in order starting with the first definition. By default, the keypad will
display default zone definitions, ignore these numbers and enter you own. Hit # # # to
exit.
