1: Introduction

Congratulations on purchasing the Penta Plus security system. You have taken a major
step in protecting your home or business. In addition to the explanation you will receive
from your installer, we urge you to read this manual. This will help you familiarize yourself
with the system, so that you can take advantage of its many advanced features. This
booklet should be kept in an accessible location and the system reference guide, located
in the rear portion of this manual, should be filled out. If you do not understand any part
of this manual, contact your installer.

Note: Remember that no security system can prevent emergencies. This system is
only intended to alert you in case of an emergency and should not take the place
of prudent security practices or life and property insurance.

2: Overview

Your security system is made up of a control panel, keypads, and various detection
devices and sensors. The metal cabinet contains the control panel and the stand-by
battery. There is normally no reason for anyone but the installer to have access to the
control panel.

Keypads

Keypads are mounted in areas close to the exit/entrance areas of your home or business
to allow for convenient arming and disarming. The keypad is used to send commands to
the control panel and to display system status.

Zones

The Penta Plus security system comprises eight security zones. A zone can be defined
as a protected area in your security system. Each zone can be protected by one or more
detection devices such as motion sensors, magnetic contacts, glassbreak detectors
shock sensors and fire sensors. When one of these detection devices is activated, it
“opens” the zone to which it is connected.

System Monitoring

Your security system can be monitored either by a monitoring service or by using the
Follow-me feature. When using a monitoring service, the Penta Plus sends a message to
a central station when an event occurs within your system. When the Follow-me feature
is programmed, the panel contacts you when an event occurs.
