IMPORTANT!

PROPER INTRUSION PROTECTION

For proper intrusion coverage, sensors should be located at

entry

to a home or commercial premises. This would include any skylights that may be

present, and the upper windows in a multi-level building.

In addition, we recommend that radio backup be used in a security system so that alarm signals can still be sent to the Central Monitoring Station in the event that the telephone lines are out of order (alarm signals are normally sent over the phone lines).

every possible point of

EARLY WARNING FIRE DETECTION

Early warning fire detection is important in a home. Smoke and heat detectors have played a key role in reducing fire deaths in the United States. With regard to the number and placement of smoke/heat detectors, we subscribe to the recommendations contained in the National Fire Protection Association's National Fire Alarm Code (NFPA 72). These recommendations can be found on page 45 of this manual.

Introduction

IntroductionIntroduction

Congratulations on your ownership of a First Alert Professional Security System. You've made a wise decision in choosing it, for it represents the latest in security protection technology today. This system provides:

• Three forms of protection: burglary, fire* and emergency

• At least one keypad which provides control of system and displays system status

• Various sensors for perimeter and interior burglary protection

• Smoke or combustion detectors* designed to provide early warning in case of fire. Your system may also have been programmed to automatically send alarm or status messages over the phone lines to a Central Monitoring Station.

* Commercial installations and some residential systems may not include fire protection – check with your installer.

NOTE: The features and procedures described in this manual apply to the FA168CPS/FA168CPSSIA (referred to as FA168CPS) and FA148CP/FA148CPSIA (referred to as FA148CP) security systems. Differences are noted where applicable.

System Basics

System BasicsSystem Basics

Burglary Protection

• Several modes of burglary protection: Stay, Night-Stay, Away, Instant, Maximum. STAY: arms perimeter zones only and entry delay is on INSTANT: same as STAY, except entry delay is off NIGHT-STAY: arms perimeter zones and selected interior zones; entry delay on AWAY: arms perimeter and all interior zones, entry delay is on MAXIMUM: same as AWAY, except entry delay is off

• You can BYPASS selected zones while leaving the rest of the system armed.

• CHIME mode alerts you to the opening of protected doors and windows while the

system is disarmed.

Fire Protection

• Fire protection is always active (if installed) and an alarm sounds if a fire

condition is detected

• If programmed, you can manually initiate a fire alarm using the keypad.

• Refer to the Fire Alarm System section for information regarding fire protection,

smoke detectors and planning emergency exit routes.

Security Codes

• You were assigned a 4-digit security code (master code) during installation.

• Use your security code when arming and disarming the system, and when

performing other system functions.

• Other users can be assigned different security codes, each with different

authority levels, which define the system functions a particular user can perform.

System Overview

System Overview System Overview

Zones and Partitions

• The system sensing devices have been assigned to various “zones,” which are

specific areas of protection (e.g., front door, kitchen window, etc.).

• Zone numbers are displayed at the keypad when an alarm or trouble condition

occurs on a sensor.

• Partitions (FA168CPS) provide two independent areas of protection, with each

partition containing a group of zones that can be armed and disarmed without affecting other zones or users.

• Partitioned systems (FA168CPS) can include a common zone area, which is an

area shared by users of both partitions (such as a lobby in a building).

Arming, Step-Arming and Disarming Burglary Protection

• The system must be armed before the burglary protection can sense intrusions.

• To arm your system, enter your user code followed by the desired arming key.

• If programmed, you can press the [#] key in place of your security code when

arming the system (e.g., instead of entering your 4-digit security code + [3-STAY] to arm the system in STAY mode, you can press [#] + [3-STAY]).

• You can use the step-arming key, if programmed, to arm the system, which lets

you arm the system in one of three modes by simply pressing the key repeatedly.

• To disarm the system, enter your security code then press the [OFF] key.

Alarms

• When an alarm occurs, both the keypad and external sounders will sound, and

the keypad will display the zone(s) causing the alarm.

• If your system is connected to a Central Monitoring Station, an alarm message is

also sent. (Delayed Reporting Note: Message reporting is delayed 30 seconds by default to reduce false alarms. If desired, this delay can be removed or can be increased to 45 seconds. See your installer if you want the delay time changed.)

• To stop the alarm sounding, simply disarm the system.

Memory of Alarm

• When an alarm condition occurs, the keypad displays the number(s) of the

zone(s) that caused the problem, and displays the type of alarm (e.g., “FIRE”).

• The message remains displayed even after disarming the system, but can be

cleared with another “off” sequence.

Function Keys

• The “A”, “B”, “C”, and “D” keys on the keypad can be programmed to perform

various functions.

• Functions include: activate a Panic alarm; arm the system; provide step arming;

switch lights on/off; send a message to a pager; display Time/Date; start a Macro.

Scheduling

• Your system can be programmed to automatically perform certain functions (e.g.,

arm the system) at a predetermined time each day.

Phone Access

• If included, a Phone Module permits you to access the system via a touch-tone

phone, either on-premises or by calling-in when away.

• You can receive synthesized voice messages over the telephone regarding the

status of the security system.

• You can arm and disarm the system and perform most function commands

remotely via the telephone, with voice confirmation provided after each command.

• Refer to the Phone Access User's Guide supplied with the Phone Module for

information regarding the use of this feature.

Paging Feature

• If programmed, the system can automatically send certain system condition

messages to up to four (FA168CPS) or two (FA148CP) pagers.

• The system can also automatically alert a pager if the system has not been

disarmed by a certain time (e.g., can let you know a child has not arrived home).

• You can also manually send a message to designated pagers.

General Information

General InformationGeneral Information

Your keypads allow you to control all system functions. The keypads feature the following:

• A telephone style (digital) keypad

• Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) which shows the nature and location of all

occurrences

• Built-in sounder which will sound during alarms and troubles. The sounder also

"beeps" during certain system functions and when depressing any of the keys (to acknowledge the key press).

• Backlighting of the LCD display windows. Backlighting turns on when any key is

pressed, and when opening an entry/exit door while the system is armed. This feature is helpful when a keypad is located in a dimly lit area.

IMPORTANT: If the keypad beeps rapidly upon entering the premises, it indicates that an alarm has occurred during your absence and an intruder may still be on the premises. LEAVE IMMEDIATELY and CONTACT THE POLICE from a nearby safe location.

Your keypads are functionally the same, but may have different types of displays, depending on the type installed with your system.

Entry/Exit Delays

Entry/Exit DelaysEntry/Exit Delays

Exit Delay

Exit DelayExit Delay

Exit delay gives you time to leave through the designated exit door(s) without setting off an alarm. Exit delay begins immediately after arming your system in any arming mode and Alpha Display keypads display the message “You May Exit Now.” When “You may exit now” disappears, the system is fully armed. If programmed, a slow beeping will sound during the exit delay period until the last 10 seconds, which then changes to fast beeping (alerting you to the end of exit delay). If you cannot leave by this time, you should stop, disarm the system, and start over to avoid a false alarm.

Exit Delay Restart. If you wish to open the entry/exit door to let someone in after arming STAY, you can re-start the exit delay at any time – simply press the [✱] key, then let that person in. The system automatically re-arms when exit delay

expires, which avoids having to disarm the system and then re-arm it again. In addition, when the system is armed AWAY, reopening and closing the entry/exit door before exit delay time expires (e.g., reentering to get a forgotten item) will reset the exit delay time once.

Entry Delay

Entry DelayEntry Delay

Entry Delays give you time to disarm the system when you re-enter through the designated entrance door. There are two entry delays (if programmed). The first is for your primary entrance and the second can be used for a secondary entrance, where a longer delay is required to walk to the keypad to disarm the system.

You must disarm the system before the entry delay period ends, or an alarm will occur. The keypad beeps during the entry delay period, reminding you to disarm the system. The beeps stop when a code is entered, but will restart after about 15 seconds if an invalid code is entered.

You can also arm the system with no entry delay at all by using the INSTANT or MAXIMUM arming modes. These modes provide greater security while on the premises or while away for extended periods of time.

You can also arm the system with no entry delay at all by using the INSTANT or MAXIMUM arming mode. This mode provides greater security while on the premises or while away for extended periods of time.

Exit Error Conditions

Whenever you arm the system, the exit delay begins. If an entry/exit door or interior zone is faulted before exit delay expires and remains faulted (e.g., exit door left open), the system sounds an alarm and starts the entry delay timer. If you disarm the system before the entry delay ends, the alarm sound stops and the message "ALARM CANCELED " or "CA" is displayed on the keypad, along with a zone number indicating the faulted zone. No message is sent to the Central Monitoring Station.

To clear the exit error condition, the open zone must be made intact; to clear the display, enter your code plus OFF.

If you do not disarm the system before the entry delay ends and the faulted zone remains open, the alarm sound continues and an "exit alarm" message is sent to the Central Monitoring Station (after the installer-programmed dial delay expires). The message "EXIT ALARM" or "EA" is displayed on the keypad, along with a zone number indicating the faulted zone. To stop the alarm, the system must be disarmed (your code plus OFF); to clear the display, enter your code plus OFF a second time.

An “exit alarm” also results if an entry/exit door or interior zone is faulted within two minutes after the end of the exit delay.

Your system may have been programmed for this feature to minimize false alarms sent to the Central Monitoring

Station. Ask your installer if "Exit Alarm" is active in your system. If so, check this box.

FA168CPSSIA/FA148CPSIA: The Exit Error condition works the same as described above, except that in addition to the “EXIT ALARM” message, a “zone alarm” message is also sent to the Central Monitoring Station. In addition, if an entry/exit door or interior zone is faulted within two minutes after the end of the exit delay, a “Recent Closing” condition occurs instead of the “exit alarm.” Refer to the next paragraph for details.

“Recent Closing” Condition (FA168CPSSIA/FA148CPSIA)

A Recent Closing condition is similar to the Exit Error condition described above, but occurs if an entry/exit door or interior zone is faulted within two minutes after the initial exit delay expires. If you disarm the system within the two minutes, the alarm sound stops and the message "ALARM CANCELED " or "CA" is displayed on the keypad, along with a zone number indicating the faulted zone. No message is sent to the Central Monitoring Station.

If you do not disarm the system within two minutes and the faulted zone remains open, the alarm sound continues and a “recent closing” and a “zone alarm” message are sent to the Central Monitoring Station (after the installer-programmed dial delay expires). The alarm message along with a faulted zone number is displayed on the keypad. To stop the alarm, the system must be disarmed (your code plus OFF); to clear the display, enter your code plus OFF a second time.

alarm if anyone enters those areas (e.g., waking in the middle of the night). To avoid sounding an alarm, you must disarm the system before any activity takes place in those interior zones.

• Used when staying inside and do not expect anyone to use an entry/exit door.

• Arms same as Stay mode.

• An alarm sounds immediately if any protected perimeter window or any door is

opened, including entry/exit doors.

• IMPORTANT: Arming in this mode greatly increases the chance of false alarms. Use extreme

care in selecting this mode of arming.

• Used when nobody will be staying inside (including pets).

• The entire system (interior and perimeter) is armed.

• Exit delay begins letting you leave through the entry/exit door.

• An alarm sounds if a protected window or any door is opened, or if any movement

is detected inside your premises.

• You can reenter through an entry/exit door, but you must disarm the system within

the entry delay period to avoid sounding an alarm.

• Used when leaving the premises for extended periods (e.g., vacation).

• Arms same as Away mode, but entry delay is off.

• An alarm sounds same as Away mode, and sounds upon opening entry/exit doors.

† Arming Ding: In addition to the keypad beeps, the external sounder emits a short “ding” sound after arming, if

programmed to do so. The ding confirms that the system is armed, and may occur immediately after the command or be delayed (until arm/disarm report is sent or exit delay expires). Ask your installer about how this feature is set for your system.

Quick Arming

If "Quick Arming" was programmed by the installer, the of the security code when arming the system in any of its arming modes (except NightStay). However, the security code must always be used when manually

disarming the system.

Function Key Arming

For any arming command, a function key may have also been programmed for your system. If so, you can press and hold the appropriate function key for 2 seconds to arm the system. See your installer for the designated functions (see Single Button Arming section).

Refer to the Accessing Other Partitions section for information on multi-partition arming (FA168CPS).

Single Button Arming

Single Button ArmingSingle Button Arming

The “A”, “B”, “C”, and/or “D” keys on your keypad may have been programmed for single-button arming. Note that while it is not necessary to use a security code for arming (by using the Quick Arm method described previously), a security code must always be used when manually disarming the system.

If Single-Button Arming is programmed:

• A function key has been assigned to a specific type of arming: STAY mode,

Night-STAY mode, AWAY mode, or STEP-ARMING (see Step-Arming paragraph).

• You DO NOT need to enter your security code before pressing the function key (but you always need your security code to DISARM the system).

Before arming, close all perimeter doors and windows.

1. Press and hold the assigned function key for 2 seconds (no code is required). Function keys are shown below.

2. The keypad begins beeping and displays the armed message. The red ARMED indicator also lights.

Step Arming Feature

Single-Button “Step” arming may have been programmed into one of the lettered keys (A, B, C, or D). Check with your installer to see if this has been done in your system.

If Step-Arming is programmed:

• The assigned key provides a choice of three levels of security.

• The selected key can be pressed once, twice, or three times, increasing the level

of security with each press, as follows

Using the Keyswitch

Using the KeyswitchUsing the Keyswitch

Your system may be equipped with a keyswitch for use when arming and disarming. Red and green lights on the keyswitch plate indicate the status of your system as follows: Green Light: Lights when the system is disarmed and ready to be armed (no

open zones). If the system is disarmed and the green light is off, it indicates the system is not ready (one or more zones are open).

Red Light: Lights or flashes when system is armed in AWAY or STAY mode.

See your installer for the meanings of the lit red light:

Lit Steady = system armed AWAY or

system armed STAY and exit delay has expired

Flashing = system armed STAY and exit delay timer active

Rapid flashing = an alarm has occurred (memory of alarm).

Before arming, close all perimeter doors and windows.

To arm in the AWAY mode:

Turn the key to the right for 1/2 second and release.

Keypads beep twice and the red indicator lights or flashes.

To arm in the STAY mode:

Turn the key to the right and hold for longer than 1

second, then release. Keypads beep three times and the red indicator lights or flashes.

To disarm the system:

Turn the key to the right and release. The red light

turns off

the BYPASS Key

the BYPASS Key the BYPASS Key

Use this key when you want to arm your system with one or more zones intentionally

unprotected.

Vent Zones: Your system may have certain windows set as “vent” zones, which are automatically bypassed if left open when arming the system (you do not need to manually bypass them). However, if a vent zone window is closed after arming, it becomes protected and will cause an alarm if opened again while the system is armed.

When bypassing zones:

• The system must be disarmed before you can bypass zones.

• Bypassed zones are unprotected and will not cause an alarm if violated.

• The system will not allow fire zones to be bypassed.

• Zones are automatically unbypassed when the system is disarmed.

+ 6 + zone numbers (see below)

Alpha Display:

(Security Code) BYPASS

Enter the 2-digit zone number(s) for the zone(s) to be

bypassed (e.g., 06, 10, 13, etc.). Single digit zone numbers must be preceded by a zero (e.g. 05, 06).

2. When finished, the keypad will momentarily display a "Bypass" message for each bypassed zone number. Wait for all bypassed zones to be displayed.

Arm the system as usual. When armed, the arming

message is displayed with “ZONE BYPASSED.”

To display bypassed zones prior to arming, enter

your security code and press the [6] BYPASS key.
