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.

Smoke Alarm 24 hour Std, wireless 02 88
Bedroom Window Sensor

Living Room Motion Interior Stay/Away 04 05
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)

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.
So for our sample kit we would enter everything in order of what we are working with.

to exit.
Shutting Off Unused Zones
Since we are using only four (4) zones, we will need to shut off the remaining zones that
are not being used. Each wireless device is a zone, with the exception of sirens and key
fobs.
•
If you are using less than eight (8) zones use programming section 202
•
If you are using nine (9) or more, but less than 16 zones, use programming section
203 (add eight to each numbered zone to get that zone. Example: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
would be zones 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
•
If you are using 17 or more, but less than 24 zones, use programming section 204
(add 16 to each numbered zone to get that zone. Example: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 would be
zones 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
In our Sample Alarm, we are only using four (4) zones. This means we will enter into
Programming Section 202 and turn off zones 5, 6, 7, and 8. We do this simply by
pressing each number that needs to be turned off.
Here is what we would enter using the sample kit:
*8-5555-202-5-6-7-8 and then # # to
Wir
eless Enrollment
Mode
Enter Programming *8-5555- Enter section 898.
Each wireless device needs to be recognized by the control panel. We call this
Enrollment. For this Section we will be triggering (open/close or tamper) each device. If
the devices are in front of you, you will take the magnet (small piece) away from the
transmitter (bigger piece) and put back together. The system will beep and the display
panel will ask you to Confirm the ESN number by pressing the (*) button.
So to begin lets start with zone 01 which is the Front Door. We will open the front door.
The panel will ask to confirm the ESN number. We will then hit (*). The system will
now ask for the Zone # and we will refer to our chart and enter (01) and confirm by
hitting (*). The system will then ask for the Zone Type (definition) and we will refer to
our chart and enter (01) and confirm by hitting (*).
The display will then be ready to enroll the next device. You continue to enroll each
device by opening each sensor or tampering with the device (this will vary depending on
your device) and you will need to enter the correct zone #’s and zone Type (definitions).
When you are ready to enroll your motion sensors, you will then put the battery in the
sensor. The light on the sensor will flash for one minute. Once the light finishes
flashing, then you want to move the motion around or wave your hand in front of it to
trigger it. This will send the ESN number to the panel. After enrolling the motion
sensor, place it face down so it cannot be accidentally triggered again during enrollment.
and at the end of the zone definitions we will hit # # #

Section 202, 203,
or
204)

arm and disarm buttons until the control panel asks you to verify the ESN Number. After
confirming the ESN number by pressing (*), the display will then ask for a key fob number
and you will just enter 01 for the first key fob and if you have another key fob that will be
02, the display panel will be ready to enroll another device. I f y o u h a v e s i r e n s ,

hit (# # #) to exit.
Entry/Exit
Delays
(Program
Section 005)
Most doors use an exit/entry delay. This will give you time to exit your premises before
the system arms and will also give you an entry delay when you enter (You must enter
through a door that is on a delayed entry). You will enter into programming by pressing
*8 and then enter the Installer Code which is 5555. Programming Section 005 will allow
us to change the delay times. We want our Sample Alarm for demonstration purposes to
have 30 second delays for entry and exit.
So here is what we will enter on our Sample Alarm: *8-5555-005-01-030-000-030
The numbers you just entered are *8 for programming-5555 for installer code-005 is the
section # for the entry/exit delays-01 is indicating partition 1 (if you were programming
partition 2 you would enter 002)-030 is entry delay1 for 30 seconds- 000 is entry delay2
(which we do not have a 2
nd
door delay time) – and the last 030 is the number of seconds
for your exit delay.
When entering programming, you always hit *8 5555. Below are additional sections
you need to go into:
Press
006 to change your installer code from the default setting of 5555. Enter the
section and just enter 4 new digits, after the 4th digit you should hear a triple beep, that
will bring you back to the “enter section” menu. This code is only used to get into
programming and nothing else. DO NOT LOSE OR FORGET THIS NUMBER AS
THIS IS YOUR ONLY WAY INTO PROGRAMMING.
Press
007 to change your master code from the default setting of 1234 and just enter 4
new digits, after the 4th digit you should hear a triple beep, that will bring you back to
the “enter section” menu. This code is what you use to arm and disarm the system
with. You can also create additional user codes with this code.
Press
015 - Then hit 2 (makes panic audible) and hit 7 to turn off TLM. Do not pay
attention to any other numbers displayed.
Now press # - 3 times to take you out of programming and to return to the main screen.
You should have a Green check mark.
And as far as basic programming you are done.

You select the letter you want by continuously pressing the same button until your
desired letter or number appears. Then you can you the left and right arrows to move
to the next location or simply press the next number which corresponds to your next
character.
Making a DSC Alexor/Impassa call your phone
You will want to enter programming by entering:
* 8 5 5 5 5, enter program section 301 and then enter the telephone number for the system
to call (Make sure the “D” remains and make sure to include the area code, if needed from
that number). (Note: The panel should read D1234567890EEEEEEEE..), hit # one time.
Enter Section 320 and enter (11 sixteen times) 11 11 11 11 11 11 11 11 11 11 11 11 11 11
11 11 and then the system will beep 3 times.
Enter section 350 and enter 06 06 06 06, system will beep 3 times
Enter section 310 and enter 1 2 3 4 * 6 6 (the 6's will be F's), system will beep 3 times
Now hit # # #
NOTE: When the system calls your phone, you must give it a handshake. This is simply
done by pressing a: 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 0, * or #. When the noise on the phone turns into an
alarm tone, and then it accepted the handshake.
