Manual

AVIS: L’étiquette de l’Industrie Canada identifie le matériel homologué. Cette étiquette certifie que le matériel est conforme à
certaines normes de protection, d’exploitation et de sécurité des réseaux de télécommunications. Industrie Canada n’assure
toutefois pas que le matériel fonctionnera à la satisfaction de l’utilisateur.

Avant d’installer ce matériel, l’utilisateur doit s’assurer qu’il est permis de le raccorder aux installations de l’entreprise locale de
télécommunication. Le matériel doit également être installé en suivant une méthode acceptée de raccordement. L’abonné ne
doit pas oublier qu’il est possible que la conformité aux conditions énoncées ci-dessus n’empêchent pas la dégradation du
service dans certaines situations.

Les réparations de matériel homologué doivent être effectuées par un centre d’entretien canadien autorisé désigné par le
fournisseur. La compagnie de télécommunications peut demander à l’utilisateur de débrancher un appareil à la suite de
réparations ou de modifications effectuées par l’utilisateur ou à cause de mauvais fonctionnement.

Pour sa propre protection, l’utilisateur doit s’assurer que tous les fils de mise à la terre de la source d’énergie électrique, les lignes
téléphoniques et les canalisations d’eau métalliques, s’il y en a, sont raccordés ensemble. Cette précaution est particulièrement
importante dans les régions rurales.

AVERTISSEMENT: L’utilisateur ne doit pas tenter de faire ces raccordements lui-même; il doit avoir recours à un service
d’inspection des installations électriques, ou à un électricien, selon le cas.

L’indice de charge (IC) assigné a chaque dispositif terminal indique, pour éviter toute surcharge, le pourcentage de la charge
totale qui peut être raccordée à un circuit téléphonique bouclé utilisé par ce dispositif. La terminaison du circuit bouclé peut être
constituée de n’importe quelle combinaison de dispositifs, pourvu que la somme des indices de charge de l’ensemble des
dispositifs ne dépasse pas 100.

L’Indice de charge de ce produit est 2.
NOTICE: The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets certain

telecommunications network protective, operational and safety requirements. Industry Canada does not guarantee the
equipment will operate to the user’s satisfaction.

Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local
telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. The customer
should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations.

Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated by the supplier. Any
repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company

About Your Security System

Your DSC security equipment has been designed to provide you with the greatest possible flexibility
and convenience. Read this manual carefully and have your installer instruct you on your system's
operation and on which features have been implemented in your system. All users of this system
should be equally instructed in its use. Fill out the “System Information” page with all of you zone
information and access codes and store this manual in a safe place for future reference.

Fire Detection

This equipment is capable of monitoring fire detection devices such as smoke detectors and providing
a warning if a fire condition is detected. Good fire detection depends on having adequate number of
detectors placed in appropriate locations. This equipment should be installed in accordance with
N.F.P.A. standard #74. (N.F.P.A., Batterymarch Park, Quincey MA 02269). Carefully review the Family
Escape Planning guidelines in this manual.

NOTE: Your installer must enable the fire detection portion of this equipment before it becomes
functional.

Testing

To insure that your system continues to functions as intended, you must test your system weekly.
Please refer to “Testing Your System” on page 13 of this manual. If your system does not function
properly, call your installing company for service.

Monitoring

This system is capable of transmitting alarms, troubles and emergency information over telephone
lines to a monitoring station. If you inadvertently initiate an alarm, immediately call the monitoring
station to prevent an unnecessary response.

NOTE: The monitoring function must be enabled by the installer before it becomes functional.

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 stand-by battery. There is normally no reason
for anyone but the installer or service professional to 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 zone lights 1 through 6 flashing on a LED keypad or by written messages on
the LCD keypad.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

A security system cannot prevent emergencies. It is only intended to alert you and – if included –
your monitoring station of an emergency situation. Security systems are generally very reliable
but they may not work under all conditions and they are not a substitute for prudent security
practices or life and property insurance. Your security system should be installed and serviced by
qualified security professionals who should instruct you on the level of protection that has been
provided and on system operations.

Access Codes

Access Codes are used to arm and disarm the system. There are six access codes available: one
Master Code and five access codes.

Only the Master Code can be used to program additional security codes and to change other system
features as well as to arm and disarm the security system. The Master Code will be supplied to you by
your installer. All keypad entries are made by pressing one key at a time.

All access codes can be programmed by following the procedure outlined in “Programming Security
Codes” on page 6.

NOTE: An access code can be a four or six digit number depending on how your installer has
programmed your system. Ask your installer for more information regarding access codes.

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 two seconds. 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. The exit delay time can be changed by your installer.

* WARNING *
Bypass Active

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.

When this message appears, use the arrow (< >) keys to verify that the system is
clear of troubles and that no zones are bypassed unintentionally (see “Viewing
Trouble Conditions” on page 11 and “Zone Bypassing” on page 10).

If this display is showing, the system is in the Ready state and may be fully armed.
To arm the system, enter your access code.

Once the correct access code has been entered, the display will be as shown. The
panel will provide an exit delay period, also indicated by keypad beeps, for you to
exit the premises without causing an alarm. Exit through the door indicated by your
installer as the Exit/Entry door.

This message will be displayed once the exit delay expires and the system is fully
armed.

If this message appears, be aware of which zones are bypassed and why (see
“Zone Bypassing” on page 10). NOTE: If you arm the system with a zone

bypassed or with a trouble present, your security protection is reduced.

Alternate Arming Methods

Away Arming

Arming the system in the Away mode will have all interior zones and perimeter zones active. 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 recognise that occupants have left the premises. Once the exit delay
expires, the system will be fully armed.

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.

Stay Arming

This feature, if enabled by your installer, will allow you to arm the perimeter zones while leaving the
interior zones 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
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.

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.

do not

exit the premises through a designated Exit/

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.
