This manual is a step-by-step guide that will aquaint you with the system’s features and benefll. It defines the
components and their funotions, describes their operation, and instructs you wfth normal and emergency prooedures.
Keep this manual in a convenient place so that you can refer to ft as necessary.
General Congratulations on your ownership of a First Alert Professionat Security
System. You’ve made a wise decision in choosing it, for it represents the
latest in security protection technology today, including miCrOCOmpUter
technology to monitor all system status,
Basically, this system offers you three forms of protection: burglary, fire
and emergency. Your system may consist of at least one keypad which
provides full control of system operation, plus various devices such as
door and window sensors and motion detectors. It may also include a
selected number of smoke or combustion detectors designed to provide
early warning in case of fire. Your system may also have been
programmed to automatically transmit alarm or status messages over the
phone lines to a central alarm monitoring station.
Keypads
Zones
Your keypads allow you to control all system functions and feature a
telephone style (digital) keypad and a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) that
shows the nature and location of all occurrences and a built-in sounder
which sounds during alarms and troubles.
For additional information, see the following section: ABOUT THE
KEYPADS.
Your system’s sensing devices have been assigned to various “zones”.
For example, the sensing device on your Entry/Exit door may have been
assigned to zone 01, sensing devices on windows in the master bedroom
to zone 02, and so on. These zone numbers will appear on the display
when an alarm or trouble condiion occurs.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Alarms When an alarm occurs, both the keypad and external sounders will sound,
and a message at the keypad will identify the zone(s) causing the alarm. In
addition, if your system is connected to a central monitoring station, an
alarm message will be sent. To stop the alarm sounding, you simply disarm
the system.
The fire protection portion of your security system (ii.used) is always on
and will sound an alarm if a fire condition is detected. Refer to the FIRE
ALARM SYSTEM section for important information concerning fire .protection, smoke detectors and planning emergency exit routes from your
premises.
The burglary protection portion of your system must be turned on or
“armed” before it will sense burglary alarm conditions and sound an alarm.
Your system can be armed in one of four modes: STAY, AWAY, INSTANT
and MAXIMUM. Refer to the ARM/h/G THE SYSTEM sections for
instructions in using these modes of operation.
Your system also provides a CHIME mode for alerting you to the opening
and closing of doors and windows while the system is disarmed.
When an alarm or trouble condition occurs, the keypad displays the
number(s) of the zone(s) that caused the problem, and displays the type
of alarm or trouble (ex. FIRE, ALARM, CHECK). The display remains until it
is cleared by entering the OFF sequence (security code +
If you have chosen to be notified of alarms or other system conditions by

All commands and procedures described herein are illustrated for FixedWord Display keypads, however, an Alpha Display keypad (with a e-line
LCD display for more detailed protection point identification and system
status, but with similar commands and procedures) is available and might
have been used instead.
Faed-Word keypads are available in two display styfes, A and B, either of
which may have been used in your system. Although different in
appearance, both styles are functionally similar. The style B keypads
have a fliiwn door which can be removed, if desired. Words displayed
on all Fuced-Word keypads are the same, except that their location in the
display window diiers slightly with each style.
Note: Some keypads are equipped with a READY indicator in place of a
POWER rndrcator . The READY indicator is lii when the system is ready for
arming (no protection zones open). While the system is disarmed, this
indicator will go on and off as protection zones are opened and closed.

USING THE KEYSWITCH
General Your system may be equipped with a keyswitch for use when arming and
disarming. A single red light on the keyswitch plate indicates the status of
your system as follows:
OFF = Disarmed, Not Ready for Arming
SLOW FLASHING =
RAPID FLASHING =
Arming To arm in the AWAY mode, turn key to right for 112 second.
To arm in the STAY mode, hold key turned to right for more than one
second.
The keypads will beep twice (AWAY mode) or 3 times (STAY mode) and
the keyswitch light will flash rapidly.
Disarming To disarm the system turn the key to the right and release.
If an alarm has occurred during the armed period, the keyswitch’s light will
not flash on disarming (thus indicating memory of an alarm). Turning the
keyswitch key to the right a second time after disarming can clear the alarm
from memory, but it is advisable, instead, to refer to a keypad to diagnose
and clear any problem, and to subsequently clear alarm memory. See the
previous page for more about a/am, memory.

FIRE ALARM SYSTEM
IF INSTALLED
General
In Case Of Fire Alarm
Your fire alarm system (if installed) is on 24 hours a day, for continuous
protection. In the event of an emergency, the strategically located smoke
and heat detectors will automatically send signals to your system, triggering
a loud, interrupted sound from the keypad. An interrupted sound will also
be produced by optional exterior sounders. A FIRE message will appear at
your keypad and remain on until you silence the alarm.
1.

NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOClATlON
RECOMMENDATIONS ON SMOKE DETECTORS
General With regard to the number and placement of smoke/heat detectors, we
subs&e to the recommendations contained in the National Fire Protection
‘Association’s Standard #74 noted below.
Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire
detection equipment in all rooms and areas of the premises 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, induding basements and excluding crawl spaces and
unfinished attics.
In addition, it is recommended that the owner consider the use of 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.

Establish and regularly practice a plan of escape in the event of fire. The
following .steps are recommended by the National Fire Protection AssoCiZltiOn:
1.
Plan on your detector or your interior and/or exterior sounders warning
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 may be a window! should your 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 if smoke
or heat rushes in.
6.
In smoky areas, crawl close to floor, hold your breath, and/or cover
mouth and nose with a wet cloth.
Escape quickly; don’t panic.
7.
6.
Establish a common meeting place outdoors, away from your premises,
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 premises - many die going back.
One or more sensing devices may have been assigned by the installer of your alarm system to the various
protection zones in your system
sensing device on your Entry/Exit door may have been assigned to zone 06, sensing devices on windows in the
master bedroom to zone 04, and so on.
Zone numbers 07,95, and 96 represent keypad “Panic’ alarm functions as assigned
Zone numbers 06 and 09 are reserved for Duress and Tamper signal reporting to the central station.

l
Intrusion detectors (e.g. passive infrared detectors), smoke detectors, and many other sensing devices will not work with
out power. Battery operated devices will not work without batteries, with dead 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.
l
A user may not be able to reach a panic or emergency button quickly enough.
l
While smoke detectors have played a key role in reducing residential fire deaths in the United States, they may not activate
or provkfe early warning for a variety of reasons in as many as 35% of all fires, according to data published by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency. Some of the reasons smoke detectors used n conjunction with this System may not work

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 buildng. 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 mater&
overloaded ehxhtcal circuits, children playing with matches, or arson. Depending upon the nature of the fire and(or the locations of the smoke detectors, the detector, even if it operates as anticipated, may not provide sufficient warning to allow
afl occupants to escape in time to prevent injury or death.
l
Passive Infrared Motion Detectors can only detect intrusion 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 intmsion can only be detected in unobstructed areas covered by those beams. They cannot detect motron.or intrusron

(continued) WARNING! THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS ALARM SYSTEM
l
Alarm warning devices such as sirens, bells or horns may not alert paople or wake up sleepers if they are located on the
other side of dosed or partly open doors. If warning devices sound on a different level of tha residence from the bedrooms.
then they are less likely to waken or alert people inside the bedrooms. Even persons who
irg if the alarm is muffled from a stereo, radio, air condiioner or other appliance, or by passing traffic. Finally, alarm warning
devices, however loud, may not warn hearing-impaired people or waken deep sleepers.
l
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.
l
Even if the system responds to the emergency as intended, however, occupants may have insufficient time to protect
themselves from the situation. In the case of a monitored alarm system, authorities may not respond appropriately.
l
This equipment, like other electrical devices, is subject to component failure. Even though this equipment is designed to
last as long as 10 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 incurante. Homeowners, property owners and renters should continue to act prudently in protecting themselves and continue to
insure their lies and property.
We continue to develop new and improved protection devices. Users of alarm systems owe it to themselves and their
ones to learn about these developments.
