1: Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing the Penta 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 through 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
Zones
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 security system comprises four 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 detectors, magnetic contacts, glassbreak detectors
and shock 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 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.
