ACTA Part 68

This equipment comp lies with Part 68 of the FCC Rules. Located on this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, the FCC registration number and the ringer equivale nc e number (REN) for this equipmen t. If requ ested, this information must be provide d to t he tel ep hone company.

FCC Part 68 Registration No. B4ZUSA- 27621-AL-E REN: 0.2B The REN is used to determine the maximum number of devices that may be connected to your telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in

devices not ringing in response to an inc o m in g ca ll . In mo st are as, the sum of all device RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone company. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part of the product identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label.

Getting to Know Your Security System

This manual describes how to operate your system. It describes basic arming and disarming commands as well as how to program system features.

The dealer or installer may have already discussed the details of your system with you. Record your system details in the User Sheets located in Appendix A.

Overview

Your security system is made up of different parts. Each plays a special role in the system’s operation:

The panel is at the heart of your system. It stores the intelligence to monitor all the sensors and devices in the system. The panel is the piece of equipment that activates sirens and initiates a call to the central station in an alarm situation.

Touchpads are used to arm, disarm, and program your system.

Your system may also use wireless, handheld touchpads that can be carried from room to room.

Keychain touchpads are also wireless and are handy for simple arming and disarming functions. Keychain touchpads can be carried off-site.

The installer can program the keychain touchpad to send a Police or Auxiliary panic alarm.

Wireless panic button touchpads are dedicated to sending one signal only— usually a Police or Auxiliary panic alarm. Panic button touchpads are usually kept near the user.

Door and window sensors protect the perimeter of your home by alerting the panel when a door or window is opened.

Motion detectors in hallways or rooms detect a person moving across the field of detection.

Your system may use a wall-mounted touchpad that looks like one of these:

The first touchpad is called a fixed display touchpad. It communicates by using indicator lights, lighted text, and an 11-character display. The second touchpad is called an alphanumeric touchpad and communicates by displaying text on a two-line display.

Environmental sensors such as gas, smoke, and heat detectors remain alert for the presence of fire or carbon monoxide 24 hours a day.

Communicating with the Panel

Your system can be set up to communicate with you through:

Instructing the Panel

Not just anyone can walk up to a touchpad and operate your security system. Before the system will process most commands, users are required to enter a pre-programmed 4-digit access code. See “Access Codes” for detailed information.

Keychain touchpads that are enrolled as part of the system do not require an access code, but are usually kept in an individual’s pocket or purse.

If you would rather use an actual key to arm and disarm the system, your security dealer can install a special key and keyswitch in your home.

How Your System Communicates with You

Touchpads and interior sirens produce a variety of operating beeps to inform you of different system states and operations. The fixed display to uchp ad also uses indicator lights.

Key Beeps

Pager Notification

Your system can dial the phone numbers of three different pagers to notify users of events they may want to b e aware of. Some of the events include:

 when the system is disarmed,  when the system is armed,  trouble conditions in the system, and  alarm conditions.

For more information, see “Notification by Pager.”

Indicator Lights

The fixed display touchpad used with Concord™ Express Systems includes ARMED and READY indicator LEDs (light emitting diodes) that provide instant feedback.

ARMED

The red LED is the ARMED indicator. It will flash during the exit delay when you are arming the system to level 2 (STAY) or level 3 (AWAY). It will also flash during the entry delay, before you disarm your system.

The arming indicator will stop flashing

—but will remain

on—when the exit delay expires and the system is armed.

A Key beep is the tone you hear when you press a button on a touchpad. The sound confirms that the button was pressed adequately. Key beeps can be turned on or off by the installer.

Status Beeps

Status beeps from touch pads or s irens sou nd when there is a change in the current status of the system. Status beeps are not alarms, but they do warrant your attention.

There is more than one type of Status beep:  Exit Delay beeps indicate that an arming command

has been entered and the countdown to arming has begun.

 Entry Delay beeps indicate that you’ve entered the

building and the countdown to an alarm has begun. (So disarm the system as soon as you get in!)

 Trouble beeps tell you that there is a prob lem with the

system or one of its components.

 Chime feature beeps tell you that a door was opened.  Protest beeps inform yo u that yo u’re trying to arm th e

system while there is an open door or window.

 Sensor test beeps are the sound the system makes dur-

ing a sensor test to indicate that a sensor was tested properly.

Status beeps are described in more detail throughout the manual.

The arming indicator will be off when the system is disarmed.

READY

The green LED is the READY indicator. It will be on whenever the system is functioning normally. The ready indicator shuts off if the system detects a trouble condition.

Ìi

Any time you n otice that the re ady l ight is not o n, yo u should press the STATUS button to find out what the trouble condition is.

Fire and Smoke Alarms

If your system contains smoke and fi re sensors, it mon itors the premises for smoke and f ire alarm s 24 hours a day and in all arming levels.

These alarms cannot be cancelled or aborted and are always reported to the central s tation. Since many communities charge for dispatching the fire department in error, your dealer may give you s pecific inst ructio ns to fo llow i n the event of an accidental smoke or fire alarm. Record these instructions in the Appendix A User Sheets under “Accidental Smoke and Fire Alarms.”

Page 7

Arming Your System

Clearing Smoke Sensors

Once a smoke sensor has been in alarm, it is considered “Open” or in “Trouble” until it is reset:

 Press

1 + Code once to silence the alarm, then press

+ Code again to reset the smoke sensor.

What Happens When There is an Alarm

In the event of an alarm, several things happen at once:  Sirens and hardwired touchpads emit emergency

tones

 Panel notifies the central station for help.*  Message appears on fixed display or alphanumeric

touchpads.

* Your system may or may not be monitore d. If it is no t

monitored, no call will be made.

Arming Your System

Since your security needs may vary throughout the day, the system was designed with three arming levels. By arming your system to a particular level, only those sensors programmed to detect in that arming level will report alarms.

To disarm to Level 1—OFF using a touchpad:

1. Press

2. Enter your access code. Touchpads display date and

time or programmed text.

Arming Level 2—STAY

There are times when you want intrusion protection, but still want the freedom to move around within your house without setting off an alarm. For example, in the evening when your family is inside for the night. In this and similar situations, arm your system to 2—STAY.

To arm to Level 2—STAY using a touchpad:

1. Close all protected perimeter doors and windows.

2. Press

3. Enter your access code. Touchpads display, “Armed

delay door immediately.

Arming Level 3—AWAY

Level 1—OFF

Use Level 1 when intrusion detection is n ot neces sary. For example, on an active Saturday morning—kids playing inside and out; someone working in the garage; various house projects going on.

Even though Level 1 disarms the sys tem, your sy stem con tinues to monitor fo r fire, s moke, carbon m onoxide, and/ or panic alarms if your system has these devices installed.

Here are some other situations in which you’d set the system to Level 1—OFF:

 Upon entering your armed home or business. When

entering the armed premises through a designated delay door, the entry delay time begins. Entry Delay beeps remind you to disarm the system.

 Before opening a door or window while inside or out-

side the armed home or business. When you wake up

in the morning and want to get your newspaper, you must disarm the system before opening the door to prevent an accidental alarm. (See the section on “Preventing Accidental Alarms” if you would like to be able to leave quickly when the system is armed.)

 To stop sirens and cancel an alarm. When an alarm

condition occurs, disarming the system turns off any sirens.

At other times, you want every sensor to be alert: When the family is away from home, or, in a business, after closing time.

In this and similar situations, set your system to 3—A WAY for maximu m protection. All sensors are active—perimeter door and window sensors, and interior motion detectors.

To arm to Level 3—AWAY using a touchpad:

1. Close all perimeter doors and windows.

2. Press

3. Enter your access code. Touchpads display, “Armed

Keychain Touchpad Arming

To disarm your system with a keychain touchpad, press the Unlock button.

Your installer can set up your keychain touchpad to arm the system in one of two ways:

1. Press the Lock button to arm the system directly to Level 3 with no Exit delay. Using this method, you would not be able to arm to Level 2.

2. Press the Lock button to increase the arming level each time it is pressed (Level 1 to Level 2, or Level 2 to Level 3). The Exit delay time would be applied.

When the system is armed again, Chime becomes deactivated.

Chime-On-Close

The Chime-On-Close feature works like the regular Chime feature, but in addition to the double beeps heard upon opening a protected door or window, the system sounds one long beep when the door or window is closed again.

You can turn the Chime-On-Close feature on or off from the programming menu. Refer to Appendix C, “Programming Menus” for information on programming your system.

If you step outs ide a nd are planni ng to c ome b ack in, do not close the door behind you!

To use Quick Exit:

1. When the system is armed to 2—STAY, press D at any touchpad. You will begin to hear one beep every five seconds. These beeps will continue throughout the 2 minute Quick Exit interval.

Opening the door without pressing D will cause the entry delay to begin.

2. Open the door and go outside. Leave the door open if you are planning to come back in!

3. Come back in within two minutes and close the door. The system will rearm to 2—STAY.

Preventing Accidental Alarms

Your security system is engineered with advanced technology that reduces the chance of an accidental alarm caused by a technical problem. In wireless systems, this technology prevents other devices, such as garage door openers, ham radios, television remote controls, and cellular phones, from interfering with your security system.

Most accidental alarms occur when leaving the hous e after arming the system, or upon returning, before disarming the system.

If, for example, you arm the system, then run upstairs for something you forgot, the Exit Delay time may expire. Once the Exit Delay expires, opening an armed door or moving in front of a motion detector will cause an alarm.

Aborting Accidental Alarms

Your system can be set up with the opportunity to abort an accidental intrusion, Police or Auxiliary alarm.

If the Dialer Abort feature is turned on, disarming the system within a specified time period will silence the siren and prevent the alarm from being reported to the central monitoring station (thus aborting the alarm). See “Alarm Information” in Appendix A to determine if this feature is enabled for your system.

Fire alarms caused by smoke sensors, fire panic alarms, and heat sensors cannot be ab orted. Dis arming a fire alarm will silence the siren, but fire alarms are always reported. If an accidental fire alarm has sounded, follow the procedures of your central monitoring station to prevent a false dispatch.

To cancel an alarm:

 Press

1 + Code.

Guidelines for Preventing Accidental Alarms

Following these guidelines will go a long way toward preventing accidental alarms.

 Close doors and windows before you leave your

house.

 When getting ready to leave the house, gather the

things you want to take with you so you can exit immediately after arming the system.

 Always enter and exit within the programmed delay

times.

 Make sure you leave through a door that has a delay

time set for it. If you arm your system, then leave through a door without a delay time, an alarm will immediately sound.

 When you return, immediately disarm your system.  Be aware of the devices in your security system and

learn how each one operates.

 Listen to system beeps. Take note of any touchpad

messages or lights that indicate the current system status.

 If you have pets, ask your installer if you need pet

lenses in your motion detectors. Pets climb higher than you may guess, causing alarms when you are away.

 Check the location of your smoke detectors. Smoke

detectors near bathrooms can be tripped by steam from a shower. Smoke detectors near the kitchen can be tripped by cooking smoke.

Refer to the User Sheet in Appendix A to determine what the specific settings are for your system.

Exit and Entry Delay Times

After arming your system, you need time to exit the building so you won’t set off an alarm. Likewise, upon returning to your hom e or business, you’ll need enough time to open the door and get to a touchpad to disarm the system.

 The Exit Delay is a period of time long enough to let

you leave through a designated delay door after arming the system.

 The Entry Delay is a period o f time lo ng e nough to let

you unlock a designated del ay door and get to a to uchpad to disarm the system.

Exit Delay Example

Y o u’re about to go on an er rand. You are inside your house and have just armed the system to Level 3—AWAY.

The interior sirens and touchpads sound three quick status beeps, telling you that the system accepted the command and has started the Exit Delay time.

During the Exit Delay time, the system sounds one short beep every 4 seconds. The red ARMED indicator light on fixed display touchpads will flash. During the last seconds of the delay time, the beeps will accelerate to one per second. Exit the premises immediately.

At the end of the Exit Delay, you’ll hear three more quick status beeps. These beeps indicate that the Exit Delay has ended. The ARMED indicator light on fixed display touchpads will stop flashing and remain on. Opening an armed door or window after the Exit Delay has expired will cause an alarm.

Entry Delay Example

You are returning to your house that is armed to Level 3— AWAY. When you unlock and enter the designated delay door, the interior sirens and touchpads sound two short beeps every two seconds. The red ARMED indicator light on fixed display touchpads will flash. This tells you that the Entry Delay time has begun and reminds you to disar m the system to avoid setting off an alarm.

During the last 10 seconds of Entry Delay, you’ll hear two short beeps every second.

Yo ur in staller will work with you to decide which door(s) should be delay door(s), and determine the delay times that will work best for you and your family. Then, the installer will program the Exit and Entry Delay times into your system.

Extended Delay

In some situations, additional time is needed to arm or disarm the system from, for example, a protected outside gate or door. In these instances, the installer can program an extended delay, giving as much as 16 minutes to exit or disarm the system before setting off an alarm.

Refer to the Appendix A User Sheets, “Delay Doors and Delay Time Settings,” for a list of actual exit delay times.

Exit Extension

In UL Listed systems, this feature is disabled.

Your system may be set up so that the exit delay time is restarted if you reopen the delay door during the initial exit delay time.

This is useful if, after arming the system, you walk out the door, then rememb er something you forgot in side. You can reenter and exit through the delay door without disarming and rearming the system.

Arming to Level 2 or 3 with No Delay:

1. Close all perimeter doors and windows.

2. Exit the premises if arming to Level 3—AWAY.

3. Enter:

2 + Code or 3 + Code.

The system sounds two or three short beeps.

4. Immediately after hearing the beeps, press

4 for No

Delay. Touchpads display an arming message, such as

“Armed to STAY No Delay” or “AR MED TO AWAY NO DELAY,” for example. The ARMED indicator light on fixed display touchpads will light.

Changing the arming level will restore delay doors to their normal Exit and Entry Delay times.

Auto STAY Arming Feature

The Auto STAY Arming feature helps cut down on false alarms in the event that you arm the system to 3—AWAY, but fail to leave during the exit delay time. Here’s how it works:

If you arm the system to Level 3—AWAY, and do not leave the premises within the exit delay time—

If feature

turned on

The system can tell that no one opened and closed a delay door within the delay time. It assumes that someone is still inside and the panel will arm to 2—STAY to avoid a false alarm.

The Exit Extension will work on the first re-entry only.

If your system is not using this feature, you must disarm the system when you reenter the armed premises to avoid setting off an alarm.

No Delay—Fo r Ins tant Alarm

You can choose to turn off the Entry and Exit Delays, causing the delay doors to arm immediately. Anyo ne enterin g the hou se throug h the delay door when the system is set to No Delay

would immediately cause an alarm. No Delay is normally used:  When you’re staying at home, after you’v e armed t he

system.

 When you’re arming and disarming your house from

the outside. (You must have a wireless touchpad in order to do this.)

If feature

turned off

The system arms to Level 3—AWAY regardless of whether or not a delay door has been opened and closed.

Your movement in side the premises co uld activate a motion detector, causing an alarm.

Your dealer can turn this feature on or off for you. See the “Arming Information” secti on of Appendi x A to find out i f this feature is currently enabled in your system.

Arming While a Door or Window is Open

It is possible to arm your system while leaving a door or window open. This is useful if, for example, you like to sleep at night with the window open.

If the door or window has a sensor installed on it, the system must be told to ignore, or bypass, that sensor when it’s open. All other sensors will remain active.

There are two methods for bypassing a sensor:

 Directly — After arming the system, bypass door/

window sensors before you open them. You must

Checking the Status of Your System

know the sensor number of the door or window you wish to bypass. To bypass directly, the u ser code mu st have been given the Direct Bypassing attribute. See “Assigning the Direct Bypassing Attribute” for more information.

 Indirectly — As you are arming, bypass sensors on

already-open doors and window. This method should not be used in UL-listed installations.

Ìi

When a sensor is bypassed, you are allowing that door or window to be unprotected.

Bypassing a Sensor Directly

Use this method if the system is armed and you would like to open a window without disarming.

Refer to the Appendix A User Sheets to determine what the sensor number is for the sensor you wish to bypass.

To bypass sensors directly:

Testing the System

The system contains a test mode that allows you to test sensors and panic signals without creating false alarms. Test your system weekly, by following the instructions in this section carefully.

Automatic Test Features

Your security system conducts routine tests, checking for problems like power failures, low batteries, sensors that aren’t working, and communication trouble with the central monitoring station.

When your system detects a pro ble m, t rou ble b eeps s oun d to alert you. See “Troubleshooting” for an explanation of the causes of trouble beeps and what you can do to fix the problem.

Manual Test s

The automatic tests your system performs provide continuing reassurance that it is working properly. There are also weekly system tests you can do yourself as an added safeguard. Taking time to do these tests will familiarize you with your system and alert you to anything unusual, such as cut phone lines or sensors that have been tampered with.

The ability to conduct sensor and phone tests is a code attribute given per User code. Check the App endix A Us er Sheets to see which access codes have the ability to conduct these tests.

Sensor Test

This test verifies that the sensors in your system are operating correctly.

Phone Communication Test

The purpose of this weekly test is to verify that the connection between the central monitoring station and your system is working properly.

Most phone tests take only a few minutes, however, your system will try for up to 15 minutes to establish a connection.

After the test has started, the arming level can be changed to Level 2—Stay or Level 3—AWAY.

To perform a phone communication test:

1. Contact the central monitoring station to inform them that you want to test the phone communication of your system.

2. Disarm the system.

3. Press

If a phone test is unsuccessful, check to see if you hear a dial tone from phones in the house. Call you r dealer if you hear a dial tone, but your phone test is unsuccessful.

Troubleshooting

Your security system uses a variety of different alarm sirens, status beeps, and trouble beeps to communicate with you. The next few pages describe the dif ferent sounds and what they mean. Try to familiarize yourself with the differences. You will hear some sounds each time you tell your security system to do something, like arm or disarm. Some sounds you will hear only when there is a problem with the system, like a low battery. Other sounds you will only hear in an emergency. Getting to know your system sounds allows you to react quickly and appropriately.

Trouble Beeps and Trouble Messages

Trouble beeps are a series of five short beeps, once a minute. When your system detects a problem, it lets you know by sounding trouble beeps from touchpads and sirens, and by trouble messages on touchpad displays.

T able 2 lis ts the causes o f tr oub le beeps , the vis ual display you can expect to see, and possible solutions for the trouble condition.

Silencing Trouble Beeps

If possible, correct the situation which is causing the trouble beeps. If this is not possible, call for service. If the problem is not corrected, trouble beeps an d messages start again 4 to 10 hours later.

To stop trouble beeps:

 Perform a system status check by pressing

touchpad,  Change the arming level. Table 2 describes the conditions under which trouble

beeps occur and when they begin. (These soun ds are heard from interior sirens and touchpads if available.)

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. I can’t arm my system. A. Try the following:

q If arming to Level 2—STA Y or Level 3—AW AY,

make sure all monitored perimeter doors and windows are closed.

q Press ‚ for a system status and for clues to the

problem.

q Call your security dealer.

Q. I cannot bypass a sensor: my a lphanumeric touchpad

displays “INVALID” and my fixed display touchpad sounds a single, long beep.

A. Possib le exp lanations include:

q The sensor you’re trying to bypass may not be

active in the current arming level. For example, an interior motion detector will not be active in Level 2—STAY.

q Some sensors can be bypassed only in certain

levels. For example, motion sensors in Level 3— AWAY.

q You may be trying to bypass a 24-hour sensor

than cannot be bypassed, such as a smoke detector.

Q. I can’t arm my system to Level 3—AWAY. A. If a delay door is open while you’re trying to arm the

system to Level 3, the system will arm to Level 2 instead. Close the delay door, arm the system to Level 3, then exit through a delay door.

Trouble Co nditi on

AC POWER FAILURE The panel power transformer may be unplugged or there may be an AC power outage. If the

transformer is plugged in, check the circuit breaker or fuse that controls that outlet. The backup battery will take over, but if AC power is not restored within 15 minutes, the system

will alert you and the central monitoring station (if your system is monitored). It reports again when power is restored.

LOW BA TT The power in the emergency backup battery is low and must be recharged or replaced. If AC power

is out, the security system may shut down once the battery is below the operating level. When AC power is restored, the panel will recharge the battery. If the trouble condition exists more than 24 hours after AC power is restored, call your security dealer for service.

SENSOR SUPERVISORY There is a problem with how the sensor is communicating with the panel.

1. Test the sensor as described in “Sensor Test.”

2. If the sensor does not test OK, call your security dealer for service.

SENSOR TROUBLE A sensor may have an internal problem or a fire/smoke sensor may not have properly reset after

activation, or the sensing chamber may be dirty or partially obstructed.

1. Test the sensor as described in “Sensor Test.”

2. If testing the sensor does not clear the trouble condition, call your security dealer for service.

SENSOR XX LOW BATTERY

A sensor has a low battery.

1. Disarm the system.

2. Remove the sensor cover. If the battery is an Alkaline AAA or AA, change the battery(s). If the battery is any other type , call yo ur sec ur it y de al e r fo r service.

SENSOR XX TAMPER A sensor cover is off or open. Secure the cover and trip the sensor to clear the tamper condition. PHONE FAILURE

TROUBLE

The system can’t communicate with the central monitoring station. The system tries to report to the central station three times before indicating Phone Failure Trouble, then makes five more reporting attempts.

1. Make sure the panel is connected to the special phone jack installed by your security dealer.

2. Disconnect the panel from the special phone jack and check phones for dial tone. If you hear a dial tone, ca ll yo ur security dea le r for service. If you don’t he a r dial from any ph one s, telephone service in your area may be out.

Phone Failure Trouble takes precedence over other system problems, so you must clear the Phone Failure message (by disarming th e panel) before you’re a ble to see other system messages.

 If smoke does not reach a smoke sensor. For example,

smoke sensors cannot detect smoke in chimneys, walls, roofs, or smoke blocked by a closed door. Sensors may not detect smoke on building levels different from their installed l ocati on . S ens ors may not warn in time when fires are caused by smoking in bed, explosions, improper storage of flammables, overloaded electrical circuits, or other hazardous conditions.

 If telephone lines are out of service. Telephone lines

are also vulnerable to compromise by any of several means.

Inadequate maintenance is the most common cause of alarm failure. Therefore, test your system once each week to verify sensors, sirens, and phone communications are all working correctly.

Although having an alarm system can make you eligible for reduced insura nc e prem iu ms , the sy st em is no substitute for insurance.

Security systems and devices cannot compensate you for life or property losses.

Appendix C: Programming Your System

You can program the following items on your system:

 System time and date  User codes  Downloading feature  Silent Arming feature  Brightness of touchpads  Chime feature

Two Methods to Program Your System

There are 2 methods for programming your system:  Programming menus, which offer visual text cues

from your touchpad.

 Programming shortcuts, which allow you to type in a

sequence of numbers for a spec ific p rog rammin g task.

Either method requires a valid System Master code. You cannot program the system using a regular user code.

Using Programming Menus

The programming menus are arranged much like a computer software program: menus containing multiple options.

To navigate through the menus:
