Features

General Information

This system offers you three forms of protection: burglary, fire, and emergency, depending on the configuration of your system. The system consists of a master keypad for controlling system operation, various wireless sensors that provide perimeter and interior burglary protection, and optional smoke or combustion detectors to provide early fire warning. In addition, optional wireless keypads may have been installed to allow you to control the system away from the master keypad. The system may also be controlled from a remote telephone and can be used as a speaker phone.

The system uses microcomputer technology to monitor all protection zones and system status, display appropriate information on the keypad display, and initiate appropriate alarms. Your system may also have been programmed to automatically send alarm or status messages over the phone lines to a central alarm monitoring station, and may also be capable of two-way voice communication with the central station.

The user features of this security system are listed below. Ask your installer which features have been programmed for your system.

•

STAY and AWAY arming modes: By using these modes you can protect either the perimeter only, or

the entire premises.

•

3 pa nic key functions: Designated keys allow you to manually activate fire, personal emergency, or

silent alarms. Refer to the PANIC KEYS section for detailed information.

•

Paging feature: Alerts you to certain system conditions by displaying code numbers that indicate the

type of condition that has occurred. In addition, pressing the AUX key can send a predefined message to your pager, if programmed to do so (see AUX key function below). Refer to the PAGING FEATURE section for detailed information.

•

Real-time clock: Keypad displays current time. Refer to the CLOCK/CALENDAR section for

procedures for setting the time.

•

Voice announcement of system status: The master keypad’s built-in speaker announces system status at

the press of a key. Refer to the CHECKING SYSTEM STATUS section for detailed information.

•

Message center: The system allows recording and play back of brief messages. Refer to the

RECORDING/PLAYBACK MESSAGES section for procedures.

•

Device activation: Designated keys allow you to turn lights and/or other devices on and off. In addition,

some devices (e.g., a light) may be programmed to activate automatically as a result of a system event such as an alarm or trouble condition. Refer to the USING POWERLINE CARRIER DEVICE COMMANDS section for detailed information.

•

AUX key function: Designated key lets you activate a predefined series of keystrokes with a single press

of the FUNCTION section for detailed information.

•

Scheduling feature: Allows you to schedule the automatic activation or deactivation of X-10 devices or

program events (e.g. alarm clock, reminder, and latch key).

General Operation

Zones

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 numbers appear on the display when an alarm or trouble condition occurs.

Fire Protection

The fire protection portion of your security system (if used) is always active 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 the premises.

Burglary Protection

Your system provides two modes of burglary protection: STAY and AWAY. STAY mode protects the perimeter only, allowing you to freely move within inside the premises. AWAY mode protects the entire system. Both modes provide an entry delay time that allows you to reenter the premises without setting off an alarm. Fo r additional security, you can turn the entry delay off when arming the system by using the

NO DELAY

zones before arming the system, if desired. Refer to the BYPASSING PROTECTION ZONES section. The system also provides a CHIME mode, for alerting users to the opening of protected doors and windows while the system is disarmed.

You must turn on ("arm") the burglary protection portio n of your system before it will sense burglary alarms. To arm the system, enter your user code then press the desired arming key (AWAY or STAY). Refer to the ARMING THE SYSTEM section for detailed procedures and information.

ReadyGuard-REN is not intended for UL985 Household Fire applications unless a 24-hour

key in combination with the desired arming key. The system also allows you to bypass selected

Security Codes

At the time of installation, you were assigned a personal 4-digit security or “master user” code. You must enter the user code when arming and disarming the system, and when performing other system functions. As an additional security feature, other users who do not need to know your code can be assigned up to 6 different security codes. Refer to the SECURITY CODES section for procedures on adding security codes to the system.

Alarms

When an alarm o ccurs, the keypad and external sounders will sound for about 15-seconds, and the keypad will display the zone(s) causing the alarm. After 15-seconds, the siren stops temporarily and voice

– 5 –

6<67(029(59,(:

General Operation

announcements of the zones in alarm begins. When these zones have been announced, the siren sounds again

and the cycle repeats itself, until the system is disarmed (code + OFF) or until alarm bell timeout occurs. If your system is co nnected to a central monitoring station, an alarm message will be sent. To stop the alarm sounding, simply disarm the system. The zone(s) causing the alarm remain displayed indicating memory of alarm. Refer to the DISARMING THE SYSTEM section for information about clearing the memory of alarm display

Two-Way Voice Feature

The ReadyGuard-REN supports voice dialog between an operator at the central station and an individual at the premises. This feature allows the central station to listen, talk to or conduct a two-way conversation with an individual(s) at the premises and allows the operator to gather information about the nature and location of the alarm that may be helpful in responding to fire, police or rescue departments. If the Two-way Voice Feature has been programmed and an alarm condition is detected the system sends an alarm message to the central station. After acknowledgement is received, a “listen in to follow” message is sent to the central station. By responding to this message the central station operator can enter commands that allow him to initiate a 5-minute voice session. The options allow the operator to enter the following modes:

•

Talk: Allows the operator to speak to individuals at the premises through the system speaker.

•

VOX (2-way voice): Allows the operator to hold a two-way (speak and listen) conversation with individuals at the premises.

•

Listen: Allows the operator to listen to any activity at the premises through the system microphone.

If a subsequent zone is violated during a voice session, the system will terminate the session and process the alarm. During the voice session, the ARMED (red) and READY (green) LEDs will alternately blink in the Talk and VOX Modes but not during Listen Mode.

STAY

The keypad beeps three times and displays the armed STAY message. The red ARMED indicator lights and the system announces “armed STAY–exit now.”

When armed in STAY mode, the system will sound an alarm if a protected door or window is opened, but you may otherwise move freely throughout the premises. Late arrivals can enter through the entrance door without causing an alarm, but they must disarm the system within the entry delay period or an alarm will occur.

Restarting Exit Delay While System Armed

Ask your installer if this feature is active for your system. If active, you can restart the exit delay at any time after arming in STAY mode. This is useful if you wish to open the entry/exit door to let someone in after arming the system, and avoids having to disarm the system and then re-arm it again.

To restart exit delay while system is armed in STAY mode: Press STAY

AWAY

The keypad beeps twice, or beeps continuously if exit warning has been programmed for your system, and displays the armed AWAY message. The red ARMED indicator lights and the system announces “armed AWAY–exit now.”

When armed in AWAY mode, the system will sound an alarm if a protected door or window is opened, or if any movement is detected inside the premises. You may leave through the entrance door during the exit delay period without causing an alarm. You may also re-enter through the entrance door, but you must disarm the system within the entry delay period or an alarm will occur.

Entry/Exit Delays

Exit Delay

Exit delay begins immediately after arming the system, and gives you time to leave through the designated exit door without setting off an alarm. A slow beeping will sound throughout the exit delay period, if programmed.

Exit Alarms Exit Alarm Active To minimize false alarms sent to the alarm monitoring company, your system may have been programmed

for this feature. Ask your installer if Exit Alarm is active for your system. Whenever you arm the system, the exit delay begins. If an entry/exit door or interior zone is faulted when

the exit delay ends (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 "CA" is displayed on the keypad, along with a zone number indicating the faulted zone. No message is sent to the alarm monitoring company. To clear the exit alarm condition, the open zone must be made re-secured; to clear the display, enter your code plus OFF.

If you do not disarm the system before the entry delay ends, and an entry/exit door or interior zone is still open, the alarm sound continues and an "exit alarm" message is sent to the alarm monitoring company. The message "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.

Entry Delay

Entry Delays give you time to disarm the system when you re-enter through the designated entrance door. 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. 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 can also arm the system with no entry delay at all by using the provide greater security while on the premises or while away for extended periods of time. See ARMING

bypasses are removed when an OFF sequence (security co de plus OFF) is perfo rmed. Bypasses are also removed if the arming procedure that follows the bypass command is not successful.

The system will not allow fire zones to be bypassed. The system must be disarmed first.

To bypass a zone(s):

Important! All single-digit numbers must be preceded by a zero (for example, enter 01 for zone 1).

The keypad will provide a confirmation beep and display the word “BYPASS” along with each bypassed zone number. Wait for these zones to be displayed, to be sure that intended zones are bypassed.

Arm the system as usual when the keypad displays the READY LED on steady.

Paging Feature

Automatic Paging

If the Paging feature has been programmed for your system, your pager will respond to certain conditions as they occur in your system by displaying a message that indicates the type of condition that has occurred. The message appears in a 7-digit format explained below. The system can also be programmed to send up to 16 additional digits that will appear in front of the 7-digit message. These 16 digits may consist of a PIN number or special digits needed by the pager, account number, pauses, or any other special characters you may choose (for example, you may want to use a special character code to distinguish between security system messages and usual pager messages). See your installer if these additional characters are desired.

Code Format

The Pager Code takes the following form: (AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA) EEE-00NN

AAA… = Optional 16 digits, programmed by your installer. EEE = 3-digit number describing the event that has occurred, as follows: 911 = Alarm (00NN following indicates the zone that caused the alarm) 101 = Open, system disarmed (00NN following indicates user number) 102 = Close, system armed (00NN following indicates user number) 811 = Trouble (00NN following indicates the zone that caused the trouble) 00NN = First two digits are always 00, followed by 2-digit user or zone number, depending on

Examples:

Pager displays: 911–0004 This indicates your system is reporting an alarm (911) due to a fault on zone 4 (0004). Pager displays: 101–0005 This indicates that your system is reporting an open/disarm (101) by user 5 (0005).

the type of event that occurred. If NN = 00, it can mean an AC loss has occurred, the system battery is low, or a 5827 wireless keypad battery is low. The Master Keypad will indicate the specific condition.

Manual Paging

In addition, your system may have been programmed to send a unique pager message when the pressed (see AUX FUNCTION section for alternate function of this key). The actual message sent is 999-

9999 (the hyphen may not appear, depending on your pager service). This code can be used to alert the person with the pager to whatever meaning you pre-arrange (e.g., “call home”). Ask your installer if this has been done for your system.

General Information

General

Your fire alarm system (if installed) is active 24 hours a day, providing continuous protection. In the event of an emergency, the installed smoke and heat detectors will automatically activate your security system, triggering a loud, intermittent sound from the keypad. An intermittent sound will also be produced by optional exterior sounders, and interlaced with the voice descriptor, sounding every 15 seconds. A “FIRE” message will appear at your keypad and remain on until you silence and clear the alarm display.

With regard to the number and placement of smoke and heat detectors, we subscribe to the recommendations contained in the National Fire Protection Association's (NFPA) 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 household. The equipment should be installed 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 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.

Security Codes

General Information

For additional security you (the Master User Code) can assign secondary user codes to individual users enabling them to perform specific system functions. These secondary users are identified by "user numbers" when their codes are assigned. You can assign up to 6 user codes (2-digit user numbers 03-08). Note that the master user is the only one who can assign codes to secondary users, and is designated user no. 02; user no. 01 is the Installer’s code.

All codes can be used interchangeably when performing system functions (a system armed with one user's code can be disarmed by another user's code), with the exception of the Babysitter Code described below.

Babysitter Code (User 07): This code can be used to arm the system, but cannot disarm the system unless the system was armed with this code. This code is typically assigned to someone (such as a babysitter) who needs to arm/disarm the system only at certain times. The Babysitter Code is assigned to User 07.

Duress Code (User 08): This feature is intended for use when you are forced to disarm or arm the system under threat. When used, the system will act normally, but can silently notify the alarm monitoring company of your situation, if that service has been provided. Duress Code is assigned to User 08.

The Duress Code is useful only when the system is connected to an alarm monitoring company.

To Add/Delete a User or Change a User's Code

Follow the procedure for changing a user's code, but enter User No. 02 and enter the new code twice.

IMPORTANT:

Walk in front of any interior motion detectors (if used) and listen for three beeps and/or voice descriptors, if programmed. The identification of the detector should appear on the display when it is activated, and its voice descriptor will be announced (if programmed). The display will clear when no motion is detected. Note that if wireless motion detectors are used, there is a 3-minute delay between activations. This is to conserve battery life. To test all smoke detectors, follow the manufacturer's instructions. The identification of each detector should appear on the display when each is activated. If a problem is experienced with any protection point (no confirming sounds, no display), notify your service company. When all protection points have been checked and are intact (closed), there should be no zone identification numbers displayed on the keypad.

Maintaining your system

The components of your security system are designed to be as maintenance-free as possible. To make sure that your system is in working condition, do the following:

1. Test your system weekly.

2. Test your system after any alarm occurs (see the TESTING THE SYSTEM section).

Low Battery Conditions in Wireless Sensors

Each wireless sensor in your system has a 9-volt or 3-volt battery. The system detects low battery conditions in wireless sensors, including smoke detectors, personal emergency transmitter, and the portable wireless keypad, and displays a “LOW BAT” message on the master keypad, which also beeps. A low battery in a wireless keypad is detected as soon as one of its keys is pressed, and the master keypad (e.g. Ademco 5827) will display “00”. In addition, a wireless smoke detector with a low battery also emits a "chirp" sound approximately once every 20–30 seconds, identifying itself as the smoke detector with the weak battery.

NOTE: A low battery message means that battery replacement in the indicated sensor(s) is due within 30

To silence Low Battery Warning Tones at the Keypad: Press the The low battery message display will remain on as a reminder. When you replace the weak battery with a

fresh one, the sensor will send a "good battery" signal to the control when the sensor is activated (opening/closing of door, window, etc.).

To clear the “LOW BAT” message enter:

Your user code

Alkaline batteries provide a minimum of 1 year of operation, and in most units and applications, provide 2–4 years of service. 3-volt lithium batteries may provide from 4-7 years of operation. Actual battery life will depend on the environment in which the sensor is used, the number of signals that the transmitter in the sensor has had to send, and the specific type of sensor. Factors such as humidity, high or low temperatures, and large swings in temperature may all lead to the reduction of actual battery life in an installation.

Changing the ReadyGuard-REN System Battery

In the event of an AC power loss, the ReadyGuard-REN is powered by a rechargeable, nickel-metal hydride battery pack. The battery pack should be replaced when a “LOW BAT” message with no zone number is displayed.

NOTE: The battery pack (P/N LYNXRCHKIT-SC or LYNXRCHKIT-HC) should be changed every

Following battery pack replacement, rechargeable batteries may take up to 48 hours to charge. The “LOW BAT” message may be displayed after one minute, however it should clear within 4 hours or by entering Test Mode.

WARNING!

THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS ALARM SYSTEM

While this system is an advanced design security system, it does not offer guaranteed protection against burglary or 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 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.

• Signals sent by wireless transmitters may be blocked or reflected by metal before they reach the alarm receiver. Even if the signal path has been recently 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 detectors have played a key role in reducing residential fire deaths in the United States, they may not activate or provide 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 in conjunction with this System may not work are as follows. Smoke detectors may have been improperly installed and positioned. 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 sen s ing limitations. No smoke detector ca n 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 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 all occupants to escape in time to prevent injury or death.

• 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 intrusion can only be detected in unobstructed areas covered by those 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 protected area approaches the temperature range of 90° to 105°F, the detection performance can decrease.

• Alarm warning devices such as sirens, bells or horns may not alert people or wake up sleepers if they 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 from a stereo, radio, air conditioner or other appliance, 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.

• Even if the system responds to the emergency as intended, however, occupants may have insufficient time to protect themselves from the emergency situation. 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 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 and transmitters 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 to learn about these developments.
