instructions.
General System Operation
Your security system is made up of a DSC control panel, one or more keypads and various sensors
and detectors. The control panel will be mounted out of the way in a utility closet or in a basement.
The metal cabinet contains the system electronics, fuses and standby battery.
NOTE: Do NOT open the enclosure of this equipment. Only the installer or service professional
should have access to the control panel.
All the keypads have an audible indicator and command entry keys. The LED keypads have a group
of zone and system status lights. The LCD keypad has an alphanumeric liquid crystal display (LCD).
The keypad is used to send commands to the system and to display the current system status. The
keypad(s) will be mounted in a convenient location inside the protected premises close to the entry/
exit door(s).
The security system has several zones of area protection and each of these zones will be connected
to one or more sensors (motion detectors, glassbreak detectors, door contacts, etc.). A sensor in
alarm will be indicated by the corresponding zone lights flashing on an LED keypad or by written
messages on the LCD keypad.

Arming and Disarming the System
Arming the System
Arming from an LED Keypad:
If the Ready light is ON, the system is ready for arming. If the Ready light is OFF, check to see that all
doors and windows are closed and that motion is stopped in areas covered by motion detectors. The
system cannot be armed unless the Ready light is ON, indicating that all zones are closed and the
system is in the Ready state.
Enter your access code. As each digit is entered, the keypad sounder will beep. If the access code
was entered incorrectly, the keypad buzzer will sound steadily for one second. If this occurs, press
the [#] key and re-enter your access code. If the correct access code is entered, the keypad sounder
will beep quickly and the Armed light will come ON. Exit the premises through the door indicated by
your installer as the Exit/Entry door.
The panel will provide an exit delay period, indicated by keypad beeps, for you to exit the premises
without causing an alarm. At the end of the exit delay period, all keypad lights except the Armed
light will turn OFF and the system will be armed. You can restart the exit delay once by pressing the
Away button before the exit delay expires. The exit delay time can be changed by your installer.
Arming from an LCD Alphanumeric Keypad:
When this message appears, one or more zones are not secured.
To secure the system, close all doors and windows and cease all
motion in areas covered by motion detectors.

Arming from an LCD Fixed Message/Icon Keypad
Before you can arm your system, all the zones must be closed. If some zones are open, the keypad
will display, and the Ready light will be off.
To see the numbers of the open zones, press. Before you try to arm your system, go to the open
zones and close all doors and windows. Make sure no one is present in zones with motion detectors.
If the green Ready lightis ON, the system is ready for arming.
To arm the system, enter your access code and leave through the entry/exit door, or pressand
hold for 2 seconds (if enabled). If the red Armed lightis ON, the system has been armed
successfully.
Alternate Arming Methods
Away Arming
Arming the system in the Away mode activates all interior and perimeter zones. If motion is detected
in the interior zones, or if one of the perimeter zones is violated, the alarm sequence will begin.
To arm in the Away mode, enter your access code and exit the premises through a designated Exit/
Entry door. The system will recognize that occupants have left the premises. Once the exit delay
expires, the system will be fully armed.
You can restart the exit delay once by pressing the Away button before the exit delay expires.
Audible Exit Fault
In an attempt to reduce false alarms, the Audible Exit Fault is designed to notify you of an
improper exit when arming the system in the Away mode. In the event that you fail to exit
the premises during the allotted exit delay period, or if you do not securely close the Exit/
Entry door, the system will notify you that it was improperly armed in two ways: the
keypad will emit one continuous beep and the bell or siren will sound. If this occurs, you
must re-enter the premises, enter your access code to disarm the system, and then follow
the arming procedure again, making sure to exit the premises in the proper fashion. Your
installer will inform you if the Audible Exit Fault feature has been enabled on your system.
Stay Arming
This feature, if enabled by your installer, will allow you to arm the perimeter zones (i.e., doors and
windows) while leaving the interior zones (i.e., motion sensors) inactive so that you can remain on
the premises while the system is armed. When you enter your security code to arm the system and
do not exit the premises through a designated Exit/Entry door, the system will arm in the Stay mode,
automatically bypassing the interior zones.
The interior zones can be reactivated at any time by entering [][1] at any keypad. If you reactivate
the interior zones, be sure to only inhabit areas not covered by motion detectors. To access areas
protected by motion sensors, you must enter your security code and disarm the system.
5
Night Arming
To fully arm the system when it has been armed in Stay Mode, press [][1] at any keypad, or press
the night arming function key if it has been configured by your installer. All interior zones will now
be armed except for devices programmed as Night Zones.
Night zones are only armed in Away mode. This permits limited movement within the premises
when the system is fully armed. Ensure that your installer has provided you with a list identifying
zones programmed as night zones.
When the interior zones have been activated (i.e., [][1]), you must enter your access code to disarm
the system to gain access to interior areas that have not been programmed as night zones.
Arming Without Entry Delay
If you wish to arm your system without the entry delay, enter [][9] then your access code. The
Armed light will flash as a reminder that the system is armed and has no entry delay. An entry
through any zone programmed as a delay zone will create an instant alarm.
Quick Arm
When the Quick Arm feature is enabled, the system may be armed by simply pressing [][0] instead
of your access code. Please note that pressing [][0] will only allow you to arm the system; to
disarm, you must enter a valid access code. Your installer will inform you if the Quick Arm feature
has been enabled on your system.
Auto Arming
Your system can be programmed to automatically arm itself according to a programmed schedule.
To program the auto arm time, enter [][6] followed by your master code. Press [3]. Enter the time
using the 24 Hr format (00:00 - 23:59).
To enable or disable the auto arm feature, enter [][6] followed by your master code. Press [2] to
either enable or disable the feature. The keypad will beep 3 times if the feature is ON and once if it
is OFF.
NOTE: The correct system time and date must be programmed in order for the auto arm feature
to function properly. Please see "Setting the System Date and Time” on page 14 for instructions.
Quick Exit
When the Quick Exit feature is enabled, pressing [][0] while the system is armed will provide a two
minute window for you to exit the premises. During this time, you may open and close thedesignated Entry/Exit door only once. Once the door is closed, the panel will end the two minute
quick exit delay. If the door is opened again, if the door is not closed after two minutes, or if another
zone is opened, the panel will begin the entry delay. Your installer will inform you if the Quick Exit
feature has been enabled on your system.
Disarming the System
Disarming from an LED Keypad:
Enter the premises through a designated Exit/Entry door; entering by any other door will sound an
immediate alarm. As soon as the Exit/Entry door is opened, the keypad will beep to indicate that the
system should be disarmed. Go to the keypad and enter your access code. If an error is madeentering the code, enter your code again. As soon as the correct code is entered, the Armed light
will go out and the keypad will stop beeping.
The correct access code must be entered before the entry delay period expires. If a valid access code
is not entered during this time, the system will go into alarm. The entry time delay may be changed
by your installer.
If an alarm occurred while the system was armed, the Memory light and the zone light
corresponding to the zone that caused the alarm will flash for 30 seconds. After the 30-second
period, the Memory light and zone light will stop flashing and the panel will return to the Ready
state. Pressing the [#] key during the 30-second period will cancel the alarm memory display. To view
other alarms, press [][3].
If a trouble was detected when the panel is disarmed, the Trouble light will turn ON. (See "Viewing
Trouble Conditions” on page 14 to determine the source of the trouble.) Please note that troubles
will not display while the system is in the Alarm Memory Display mode.
