INTRODUCTION

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 in this booklet and, if possible, practice on the keypad control while your professional installer is on site. Failure to do so could result in the security system not working properly. Please keep this booklet 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 PANEL 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 panel has been so programmed, you may be able to turn on (ARM) your system by simply pressing the [STAY] or [EXIT] key. The system must always be disarmed using a 4 or 6 digit code.

The LED keypad includes up to 35 lights and a built-in electronic sounder. These provide specific information relating to the status of the security system which is described in the booklet. Understanding what the lights and sounds mean will help you to easily operate your system.

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:

1. 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.

2. Your system should be tested weekly.

3. Your system will not work without power.

4. Warning devices will need to be loud enough, wired correctly, and properly placed to provide notification of an alarm event.

5. Smoke and heat detectors may not detect heat and smoke in all situations.

6. Use qualified security professionals to install and maintain your security system.

7. It may be possible to arm the security system without the backup battery connected. Your periodic test should be done with AC Power removed to verify the battery is connected and adequately charged.

8. Care should be taken to plug in and restrain the AC transformer after testing.

Please read the following information and instructions carefully before operating your security control system.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS

An option that allows a delay in reporting to the central station. The level of access an individual has when using an alarm panel. The location where alarm data is sent during an alarm report. An option that allows the keypad to sound a ding-dong whenever an entry/exit

door is opened.

Can be either User Codes (relating to a person) or Function Codes (a toggle

switch to turn specific functions on/off). NOTE: A system may have either fourdigit codes or six-digit codes, but not a mixture of the two.

An option that allows a special code to be sent to the central station that

indicates the alarm system is being operated under duress.

An option that allows the system to be turned on (ARMED) with one or more

zones open. A system that is ready to be “force armed” will flash the ready icon. (Note: Those zones that are not ready will not create an alarm.)

A Function Code is either a four (4) or six (6) digit code that has been

programmed by the installer to operate a device. An option that allows the user to bypass multiple zones with a single operation. An option that allows an instant alarm condition for Entry/Exit doors, or grants a

delay to allow someone to enter/exit the building without an alarm, or before

entering a user code to disarm. A master arm/disarm code that can program other user codes. A system divided into multiple areas in which its own user or users control each

area. The outer edge of the protected area. An option that allows you to turn on (ARM) the security system by pressing

either the [STAY] or [EXIT] key on the keypad control (for ARMING only) as

programmed by the installing company. A four (4) or six (6) digit entry code used to arm or disarm the system.

Zone 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. If the bypass

light is “off”, no zones are bypassed.

Cancel Light The cancel light will flash during an abort delay time. Entering a code followed by the

[CANCEL] key during or after an alarm report to the central station will cause the cancel light to come on. It will stay on until the central station has received the cancel report.

NOTE: The cancel feature must be enabled. (See "Cancel/Abort Feature") Chime Light The chime light is “on” when the chime feature is “on”; “off” otherwise. Exit Light The exit light is “on” during the exit delay. Please note that the light will flash during the last

10 seconds of the exit delay as a warning that the time is running out. (The user may want

to disarm the system if the exit light is flashing in order to prevent an alarm. The user may

then re-arm the system and exit before the delay expires.) 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.
