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 professi onally
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), or LED keypad.
Since your system may use any of these keypads, the displays of all keypads are
described in this manual.

The OMNI-624 and OMNI-848 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.

Miscellaneous Commands

ON-LINE DOWNLOAD

If enabled by your system installer, an on-line download allows you to initiate a
remote communications session with the Central Station (CS) Downloading
computer from the control panel location. Typically, the CS initiates a remote
communications session. On-line Downloading allows you to call the office
(from the same telephone line as the panel), discuss the action requir ed, and
allow the CS operator to complete the request while on-line; no additional
telephone call is needed. Note that the office number that is dialed should be
the phone line that the downloading computer is attached to. On-line
connection can be made as follows:

1. Uses the home telephone to dial the CS Downloading modem telephone line.

Connection is made with a person at the CS Downloading computer and the
account to be downloaded will be verbally identified.

(cont)

2. Enter

a request for a remote communications session, and to look for the standard
panel-to-CS protocol.

3. Once the standard connection is made, the necessary remote

communications sessions can take place (upload, download, remote
commands).

4. Hang up the telephone to prevent interference that may affect

upload/download data. The downloader software will automatically
terminate the connection after remote communications end.

SYSTEM TEST

It is recommended that you test your system once a week using the
following procedure:

NOTE: If your system is monitored, contact your central station before you
perform this test.

1. Arm your security system.

2. Wait until your e xit time is ove r. Then activate the system by o pening a

protected zone (for example: a window or door).

3. Confirm that the alarm sounding device (bell or siren) sounds. If your

system is connected to a central station, the keypad will sound the
ringback tone to confirm that the signal was received.

4. Disarm the security system.

5. Call the central station to tell them you are finished testing.

BATTERY TE S T

It is recommended that you test your battery once a month. In order to test
your backup/standby battery, the following procedure should be followed:

1. Unplug the transformer from the AC outlet by removing the restraining

screw that sec ures the tran sformer to the w all. (NOTE: The screw is not
present on models sold in Canada.)

2. Observe that the AC indicator light on the keypad goes off.

3. Activate your alarm by performing the abo ve SYSTEM TEST. Remember

to contact your central station if your system is monitored.

4. Plug the tra nsformer into the AC outlet and secure with the restraining

screw. (NOTE: The screw is not present on models sold in Canada.)

Testing the System

IMPORTANT: Use only batteries recommended by your installer as a
replacement.

The National Fire Protection Association publishes a standard for fire wa rning
equipment (NFPA publication #72). Further information can be obtained by

Recommendations On Smoke Detectors

With regard to the number and placement of smoke/heat detectors, we
subscribe to the recommendations contained in the National Fire Protection
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 crawl spaces and unfinished
attics.

In addition, the N FPA rec ommends th at you in stal l heat or smo ke dete ctors 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 Ass ociation:

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 post 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 and 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.

Limitation s of Th i s Al a rm Sy st em

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 alar m w arning dev ice.



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 powered solely by AC will not work if their AC power supply is cut off
for any reason, however briefly.



Signals sent by wireless transmitters may be blocked or reflected by metal before they
reach the alarm re ceiver. Even if the signa l path has been recently checke d during a
weekly test, blockage can occ ur if a metal objec t is moved int o th e pat h.



A user may not be able to reach a panic or emer gency but ton quic k ly enoug h.



While smoke detectors have played a key role in reducing residential 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 first-floor 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 matche s, or arson. De pending on the nature of the fi re 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
decrease.

- 30 -

Limitation s of Th i s Al a rm Sy st em



Al arm warning devices s uch as sirens, bel ls or horns may not alert pe ople 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-imp air ed peop le or w ak en deep sleep er s.



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 tim e to protect themselves from the e mergency situation. In the case
of a monitored alarm system, author ities may not resp ond app r opr iately .



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 protecting 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 t o learn ab out t hese dev e lopment s.
