THIS MANUAL IS FURNISHED TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND YOUR SECURITY SYSTEM AND BECOME PROFICIENT IN ITS OPERATION. ALL USERS OF YOUR SECURITY SYSTEM SHOULD READ AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS IN THIS BOOKLET. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN THE SECURITY SYSTEM NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THIS BOOKLET SHOULD BE KEPT IN AN ACCESSIBLE LOCATION FOR THE LIFE OF THE SECURITY SYSTEM. IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND ANY PART OF THIS MANUAL YOU SHOULD NOTIFY YOUR INSTALLING COMPANY.
The SECURITY CONTROL can be turned on (armed) and off (disarmed) by entering a 4- or 6-digit code into the Keypad Control, which is similar to a telephone keypad. If your Security Control has been so programmed, you may be able to turn on (arm) your System by simply pressing the STAY or AWAY key. The system must always be disarmed using a 4- or 6-digit code. The LED keypad includes lights and a built-in electronic sounder. These provide specific information relating to the status of the security system, as described in the booklet. Understanding what the lights and sounds mean will help you to easily operate your system.
READ THE ENTIRE MANUAL AND, IF POSSIBLE, PRACTICE ON THE KEYPAD CONTROL WHILE YOUR PROFESSIONAL INSTALLER IS ON SITE.
KEEP IN MIND, THE LEVEL OF SECURITY YOU WILL OBTAIN WITH THIS SYSTEM RELATES SPECIFICALLY WITH TWO MAJOR FACTORS:
1. The quantity, quality, and placement of security devices attached to this system.
2. The knowledge you have of the security system and how that knowledge is utilized in a weekly test of the complete system.
YOU SHOULD BE AWARE OF THE FOLLOWING FACTS WHEN PREPARING A SAFETY/SECURITY PLAN FOR YOUR HOME/BUSINESS.
Your security system is an electronic device and is subject to failure or
malfunction. Do not rely on it as your single source of security.
Your system should be tested weekly. Your system will not work without power. Warning devices will need to be loud enough, wired correctly, and properly
placed to provide notification of an alarm event.
Smoke and heat detectors may not detect heat and smoke in all situations. Use qualified security professionals to install and maintain your security system. It may be possible to arm the security system without the backup battery
connected. Your periodic test should be done with A.C. Power removed to verify the battery is connected and adequately charged.
Care should be taken to plug in and restrain the A.C. Transformer after testing.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE OPERATING YOUR SECURITY CONTROL SYSTEM. IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND ANY PORTION OF THIS MANUAL, OR IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR SYSTEM, CONTACT THE INSTALLING COMPANY LISTED IN THE FRONT OF THIS BOOKLET.

UNDERSTANDING THE LIGHTS
ARMED LIGHT
The armed light is “on” when the system is armed. The armed light is “off” when it is disarmed. The armed light will flash when there has been an alarm during the previous arm cycle.
BYPASS LIGHT
The bypass light is “on” when any zone in this keypad’s partition is bypassed. The zone(s) that is bypassed will also be illuminated. If the bypass light is “off”, no zones are bypassed.
FIRE LIGHT
A steady fire light means a fire zone has been faulted. A rapidly flashing fire light means that a fire zone is in a trouble condition.
POWER LIGHT
The power light is on if the primary power is on. The power light will flash if the system has a low battery condition.
READY LIGHT
The ready light is “on” when the system is ready to arm and “flashes” if ready to force arm. The ready light is off when the system is not ready to arm because of a zone(s) being faulted.
SERVICE LIGHT
The service light is “on” to indicate a trouble condition with your system.
ZONE LIGHTS
The zone lights are “off” when everything is normal. A zone light will be “on” if the zone has been bypassed. If a zone light is “flashing”, that zone is in alarm or has been faulted. If a zone light is “flashing” rapidly, it means that the zone is in a trouble condition. Trouble conditions are:

KEYPAD CONTROL TONES (BEEPS)
A sounder is built into the keypad. If programmed, your system keypad may sound for any of the following reasons:
Beeps for all key presses. Sounds a continuous tone during the Entry delay time. Pulses when a day zone is violated while the system is disarmed. Pulses when a FIRE zone has a trouble condition. Beeps 3 times for trying to arm with the “Ready” light off, if “Force Arming”
has not been selected.
Beeps for 1 second or emits a “ding-dong” sound for the “Chime” feature. Beeps during an exit delay; beeps rapidly for the last 10 seconds of an exit
delay; and beeps 1 second at the end of the exit delay.
Pulses when the armed status changes and the AC power are off. Pulses when the armed status changes and any zone(s) are bypassed. Pulses when the armed status changes and a low battery are detected. Pulses when the armed status changes and a tamper condition is detected. Beeps to indicate Telephone Line Cut, if selected. Pulses when one or more of the following conditions are detected: Zone or
Box Tamper, Low Battery, AC Power Fail, or Expander trouble.
Beeps 3 times every minute indicating a low battery or missing transmitter is
detected (if wireless device is in system). Entering code will suppress the sounder for 12 hours.
Entering a valid code will silence the keypad sounder when it is pulsing. The arm/disarm state of your system will not change when entering a code to silence a pulsing keypad sounder. Please contact your installer if a trouble condition exists.

EMERGENCY EVACUATION PLANS
An emergency evacuation plan should be established for an actual fire alarm condition. For example, the following steps are recommended by the National Fire Protection Association and can be used as a guide in establishing an evacuation plan for your building.
Draw up a floor plan of your home. Show windows, doors, stairs, and rooftops that can be used for escape. Indicate each occupant's esc ape routes. Always keep these routes free from obstruction. Determine two means of escape from each room. One will be the normal exit from the building. The other may be a window that opens easily. An escape ladder may have to be located near the window if there is a long drop to the ground below. Set a meeting place outdoors for a headcount of the building occupants. Practice escape procedures. In a home, sleep with bedroom door closed; this will increase your escape time. If you suspect fire, test the door for heat. If you think it is safe, brace your s houlder against the door and open it cautiously. Be ready to slam the door if smoke or heat rush in. Practice escaping to the outdoors and meeting in an assigned spot. Call the Fire Department from a neighbor's phone.
NOTE: After the installation of your Security System has been completed, notify your local Fire and Police Departments to give them your name and address for their records. Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection equipment in all rooms. This equipment should be installed in accordance with the National Fire Protection Association's Standard 72. For additional information write the National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
The following are examples of evacuation plans. A plan unique to your home or business should be drawn and memorized by each occupant.
