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.
8
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.

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(029(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.

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
