Introduction
Congratulations on your decision to protect your home or business with the
OMNI security system. You have chosen a reliable, state-of-the-art security
system that is remarkably easy to operate. Your system has been professionally
installed by your local Security Company, whose representative can explain the
specifics of your system.
The keypad is the input and display device for your security system. Your
Security Company representative will suggest the model most appropriate for
your premises and your needs. There are three types of keypads that can be used
with this system:
LCD keypad (alpha display), fixed-word keypad (2-digit display), LED keypad.
Since your system may use any of these keypads, the displays of all keypads are
described in this manual.
The OMNI-400 and OMNI-600 are listed by Underwriters Laboratories for
Household Fire and Burglary applications.
Throughout this manual, the following conventions are used to represent the
keystrokes required to perform the following functions.

IS THE SYSTEM READY?
You can arm and disarm the burglar portion of your security system. Before
you can arm the system, it must be “ready.” If you have a protected door
open, or someone is mo ving in view of a motion detecto r, the system will not
display the “READY” message.
The system is ready if the READY light and the display show:
LCD Keypad:
SYSTEM READY
NOTE: If programmed by your installer, you may arm the system if a delay
or interior zone is faulted. However, faulted zones must be restored before
your exit time expires or an alarm or zone bypass will result. Ask your
installer if your system has this feature and if so, if it causes an alarm or
zone bypass.
TO ARM THE SYSTEM AND LEAVE
Enter your user code.
The System ARMED light will go on and the display will show:

WHEN THE SYSTEM IS NOT READY
If the system is not ready to be armed, the READY light will be off and the
display will show which z on e or zones are not re ady. Th e follo wing cond itions
will be indicated by the zone lights (LED keypad) or described on the display:
Fast Blink .................................Alarm or tamper condition
Slow Blink/Low Intensity .....Bypass
Slow Pulse ................................ Trouble or low battery
Solid On .................................... Zone faulted
Example: If the READY light is not lit and the Zo ne 1 lig ht is solid on, an
alarm sensor on Zone 1 is faulted. This might mean that a door is open or
someone is walking in view of a motion sensor. Check all sensors on Zone 1
and resolve the problem. In this example, the display shows the following:
NOT READY
When all sensors are resto red, the READY light will come on and the zone
light will go out.
Determine which zone or zones are not ready, resolve the problem, and arm
the system normally. If the problem cannot be resolved, you may bypass the
zone that is not ready. B ypassing should only be done if the problem on the
zone cannot be resolved, OR if you intentionally wish to leave the zone
disarmed. For example, you would leave the zone disarmed if you plan to
keep the window open for ventilation. Zonesthat are bypassed are not protected when the system is armed. See To Bypass A Zone on the

Disarming the System
When you disarm the system, you disarm only the burglar portion of your
system; any smoke or heat detectors and panic keys will remain armed. You
must enter through a designated entry door and disarm the system within
the time allowed. You can have different amounts of time for different entry
points. See your system reference sheet for the times established for your
system.
To disarm your system:
Enter your user code.
If no alarms have taken place, the ARMED light will go off, or the display
shows:
LCD Keypad:
SYSTEM READY
If alarms occurred when the system was armed or if a trouble condition
exists, the display shows:

Association’s (NFPA) Standard #72 noted below.
Early-warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire
detection equipment in all rooms and areas of the household as follows: A
smoke detector installed outside of each separate sleeping area, in the
immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on each additional story of the family
living unit, including basements and excluding cra wl spaces and unfinished
attics.
In addition, the NFPA recommends that you install heat or smoke detectors
in the living room, dining room, bedroom(s), kitchen, hallway(s), attic,
furnace room, utility and storage rooms, basements, and attached garages.

Emergency Evacuation
Establish and regularly practice a plan of escape in the
event of fire. The following steps are recommended by the
National Fire Protection Association:
1. Position your detector or your interior and/or exterior
sounders so that they can be heard by all occupants.
2. Determine two means of escape from each room. One
path of escape should lead to the door that permits
normal exit from the building. The other is an
alternative route, such as through a window, should
your normal escape path be unpassable. Station an
escape ladder at such windows if there is a long drop to
the ground.
3. Sketch a floor plan of the building. Show windows,
doors, stairs, and rooftops that can be used to escape.
Indicate escape routes for each room. Keep these
routes free from obstruction and pos t copies of the
escape routes in every room.
4. Assure that all bedroom doors are shut while you are
asleep. This will prevent deadly smoke from entering
while you escape.
5. Try the door. If the door is hot, check your alternate
escape route. If the door is cool, open it cautiously. Be
prepared to slam the door shut if smoke or heat rushes
in.
6. When smoke is present, crawl on the ground. Do not
walk upright, since smoke rises and may overcome you.
Clearer air is near the floor.
7. Escape quickly; don’t panic.
8. Establish a common meeting place outdoors, away from
your house, where everyone can meet an d then take
steps to contact the authorities and account for those
missing. Choose someone to assure that nobody
returns to the house — many die going back.

PERIMETER ZONE:
SENSOR:
SILENT CONDITION:
SYSTEM:
A perimeter zone is a group of points that protect the exterior of your
premises. Your outside doors and windows would be programmed as
a perimeter zone.
The actual alarm sensor, detector, or device installed to detect an
intrusion, fire, or environmental problem. Examples include: door
contacts, window contacts, motion sensors, glassbreak sensors, smoke
detectors, rate-of-rise heat detectors, temperature sensors,
flood/water sensors, and carbon monoxide gas detectors.
Most types of alarms and troubles alert you with the keypad sounder
and the sirens, horns, or speakers l ocated in your premises. The
intent is to advise you of the alarm or trouble and allow you to
respond promptly. The audible sounds also let an intruder know that
he has been detected and will hopefully scare him away. In some
circumstances, an audible alarm might put your life in danger. For
that reason, those alar ms are programmed as silent conditions. For
an example, see DURESS.
Your security system is composed of three main parts: 1) the control
panel, which functions as the system br ain and the link to the
monitoring agency (central station); 2) the keypad(s), which provide
you with system status and allow you to input commands; 3) security
sensors such as door and window contacts, motion sensors, smoke
detectors and other sensors as required to detect intrusion, fire, and
other conditions for your premises.
USER CODE:
ZONE:
A user code is a 4- or 6-digit code that is required to operate the
system. The system supports up to 15 separate user codes. The
system supports one master user who can a dd/delete other user
codes. Two of the user codes may be dedicated to special functions as
defined by your alarm company at the time of installation. (See User Code Assignments in this manual)
A zone is a collection of sensors with common characteristics grouped
together for your operating convenience. The system will support 6
zones or groupings.

Limitations of This Alarm System
While this system is an advanced design security system, it does not offer guaranteed
protection against burglary, fire, or other emergency. Any alarm system, whether
commercial or residential, is subject to compromise or failure to warn for a variety of
reasons. For example:
Intruders may gain access through unprotected openings or have the technical
sophistication to bypass an alarm sensor or disconnect an alarm warning device.
Intrusion detectors (e.g., passive infrared detectors), smoke detectors, and many other
sensing devices will not work without batteries, or if the batteries are not put in
properly. Devices powe red solely by AC will not work if their AC power supply is cut
off for any reason, however briefly.
Signals sent by wireless tra nsm itte rs may b e blo cked or re fle cted b y metal before the y
reach the alarm receive r. Even if the signal path has been re cently checked during a
weekly test, blockage can occur if a metal object is moved into the path.
A user may not be able to reach a panic or emergency button quickly enough.
While smoke detecto rs have pla yed a ke y role i n reducing re siden tial fire deaths , they
may not activate or provide early warning for a variety of reasons in as many as 35%
of all fires. Some of the reasons smoke detectors used in conjunction with the System
may not work are as follows: Smoke detectors may not sense fires that start where
smoke cannot reach the detectors, such as in chimneys, in walls, or roofs, or on the
other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors also may not sense a fire on another level
of a residence or building. A second-floor detector, for example, may not sense a firstfloor or basement fire. Moreover, smoke detectors have sensing limitations. No smoke
detector can sense every kind of fire every time. In general, detectors may not always
warn about fires caused by carelessness and safety hazards like smoking in bed,
violent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded
electrical circuits, children playing with matches, or arson. Depending on the nature
of the fire and/or the location of the smoke detectors, the detector, even if it operates
as anticipated, may not provide sufficient warning to allow all occupants to escape in
time to prevent injury or death.
Passive Infrared Motion Detectors can detect intrusion only within the designed
ranges as diagrammed in their Installation Manual. Passive Infrared Detectors do not
provide volumetric area protection. They do create multiple beams of protection, and
intrusion can only be detected in unobstructed areas covered by the beams. They
cannot detect motion or intrusion that takes place behind walls, ceilings, floors, closed
doors, glass partitions, glass doors or windows. Mechanical tampering, masking,
painting or spraying, of any material on the mirrors, windows or any part of the
optical system can reduce their detection ability. Passive Infrared Detectors sense
changes in temperature; however, as the ambient temperature of the protected area
approaches the temperature range of 90º to 104º Fahrenheit (32º to 40º Celsius), the
detection performance can decrea se.

Limitations of This Alarm System
Alarm warning devi ces such as sire ns, bells or horn s may not ale rt people or wake up
sleepers who are located on the other side of closed or partly open doors. If warning
devices sound on a different level of the residence from the bedrooms, then they are
less likely to waken or alert people inside the bedrooms. Even persons who are awake
may not hear the warning if the alarm is muffled by noise from a stereo, radio, air
conditioner, other appliances, or by passing traffic. Finally, alarm warning devices,
however loud, may not warn hearing-impaired people or waken deep sleepers.
Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premises to a central
monitoring station may be out of service or temporarily out of service. Telephone lines
are also subject to compromise by sophisticated intruders.
However, even if the system responds to the emergency as intended, occupants may
have insufficient time to pro tect themselves from the emerge ncy situati on. In the case
of a monitored alarm system, authorities may not respond appropriately.
This equipment, like other electrical devices, is subject to component failure. Even
though this equipment is designed to last as long as 20 years, the electronic
components could fail at any time.
The most common cause of an alarm system not functioning when an intrusion or fire
occurs is inadequate maintenance. This alarm system should be tested weekly to make
sure all sensors are working properly.
Installing an alarm system may make one eligible for lower insurance rates, but an alarm
system is not a substitute for insurance. Homeowners, property owners and renters
should continue to act prudently in pro tecting themselves and continue to insure their
lives and property.
We continue to develop new and improved protection devices. Users of alarm systems owe
it to themselves and their loved ones to learn about these developments.
