partitions (such as a lobby in a building).
• Some users may be given the authority to view status and arm/disarm other partitions.
• See Accessing Other Partitions section for details.
• When a zone is faulted, its zone number is displayed on the keypad for easy identification.
• Each keypad is assigned a default partition for display purposes, and will show only that partition's
information.
• When entering codes and commands, sequential key depressions must be made within 4-5 seconds of
one another. If 4-5 seconds elapse without a key depression, the entry will be aborted and must be
repeated from its beginning.
• If you make a mistake while entering a security code, stop, press the [∗] key, and then start over. If you
stop in the middle while entering a code, and then immediately start the entry over, an erroneous code
might be entered.
Keypad Lockout: The system may have been programmed to lockout the keypads for 15 minutes if
more than 30 keystrokes (within a 15 minute period) are made without a valid user code plus
command being entered. The message “Code Sabotage” is displayed during the lockout period.

Before Arming (Ready [∗∗∗∗] Key)
Not Ready •••• Before arming the system, you should close or bypass all protected doors, windows and
(using [∗∗∗∗] key) other protection zones.
•••• Press [∗∗∗∗] to display open zones (do not enter code first).
•••• To bypass zones, see the Bypassing Zones section below.
• Some systems, if programmed, may allow arming even if selected zones in the exit route are faulted.
Depending on the programming, these zones, if left faulted when exit delay expires, will either be
automatically bypassed or cause an alarm. See your installer.
Voice Status: • Voice Keypads (if installed), can announce system status and faulted zones (up to 3 zone descriptors) if
Voice Status is on.

automatically bypassed or will cause an alarm. See your installer for your system’s programming.
Bypassing Zones
Bypass Notes •••• You can bypass zones before arming the system or while the system is already armed.

To Bypass •••• Security code + [6] BYPASS + zone numbers
Zones • Use 2-digit zone number(s) for the zone(s) to be bypassed.
• Single digit zone numbers must be preceded by a zero (e.g. 05, 06).

window is closed after arming, it becomes protected and will cause an alarm if opened again while the
system is armed.
those zones that you wish to leave unprotected are bypassed, and that there are no other zones
unintentionally left open.
This feature is useful if, for example, you routinely leave certain windows open when arming at night.

Basic Arming Modes
Stay • Security code + [3] (STAY)
• Causes: three beeps, armed STAY displayed, ARMED indicator lights
• Arms perimeter sensors, but interior sensors are left disarmed.
• Use when you want to arm the system with persons staying inside (or if you have pets that are moving
throughout the premises).
• Alarm sounds if any protected window or non-entry/exit door is opened.
• Persons entering later can enter through an entry/exit door, but they must disarm the system within the
entry delay period to avoid sounding an alarm.
Night-Stay • Security code + [3] + [3]
(Internal) • Causes: three beeps, NIGHT-STAY displayed, ARMED indicator lights
• Same as Stay mode, plus pre-selected interior sensors, while other interior sensors are left disarmed.
• Use Night-Stay (internal) mode to provide increased security while staying inside.
• Persons entering later can use an entry/exit door but they must disarm the system and must not violate
any of the programmed interior zones to avoid sounding an alarm.
• IMPORTANT: When Night-Stay mode is on, the selected interior zones are armed and cause an alarm if
anyone enters those areas (e.g., waking in the middle of the night). To avoid sounding an alarm, you
must disarm the system before any activity takes place in those zones.
Instant • Security code + [7] (INSTANT)
• Causes: three beeps, armed INSTANT displayed, ARMED indicator lights
• Arms same as Stay mode but with entry delay off.
• Use when staying inside and do not expect anyone to use an entry/exit door.
• An alarm sounds immediately if any protected perimeter window or any door is opened, including
entry/exit doors.
• IMPORTANT: Arming in this mode greatly increases the chance of false alarms. Use extreme care in
selecting this mode of arming.
Away • Security code + [2] (AWAY)
• Causes: beeping during exit delay, armed AWAY displayed, ARMED indicator lights
• Arms entire system (interior and perimeter).
• Use when nobody will be staying inside (including pets).
• An alarm sounds if a protected window or any door is opened, or if any movement is detected inside your
premises.
• When reentering through an entry/exit door, you must disarm the system within the entry delay period to
avoid sounding an alarm.
Maximum • Security code + [4] (MAXIMUM)
• Causes: same as Away mode; arms same as Away mode, but entry delay is off.
• Use when arming/disarming is being done from the outside (e.g. RF keyfob)
Step Arming • Press designated key A, B, C, or D, if programmed, once, twice or three times depending on the
arming mode desired. Each key press increases the level of security.
• First press: arm STAY; second press: arm Night-STAY; third press: arm AWAY
Quick Arm • Press [#] + arming command key, if programmed.
• This feature lets you press [#] in place of the security code when arming the system.
• The security code must always be used to disarm the system.
Function Key • Press and hold the assigned function key for 2 seconds, if programmed.
Arming • You do not need to enter your security code before pressing the arming key.
• Arms in designated arming mode. See your installer for the designated functions.

Follow-Me Feature (audio beeps)
About FollowMe/Beeps
To enter a
follow-me
phone number
• This feature lets users enter up to three phone numbers (system-wide) that the system will call in the
event of an alarm in any partition at the protected premises, thus alerting the user to the alarm. The
follow-me feature works as follows:
• When an alarm occurs, the system reports the alarm to the central station (and pre-determined pagers, if
programmed), then dials the first follow-me phone number.
• After dialing, the system waits a short time (about one ring plus any programmed pauses; see “To enter a
follow-me number” below for programming pauses) then begins sending message tones (regardless of
whether the call is answered).
• When answered, the user will hear the message tones (a series of eight tones or “beeps”) followed by a
pause of about four seconds, then the tones are repeated. The cycle of tones and pauses continues for
about one minute.
• The user should press the [∗∗∗∗] key on the telephone to acknowledge hearing the tones, then wait for
the control to disconnect the line before hanging up. IMPORTANT: Press the [∗] during a pause between
tone cycles. Otherwise, the control may not “hear” the [∗] key if pressed while the tones are being sent.
• If the user does not press the [∗] key, the control hangs up when the 1-minute tone cycle is complete, then
dials the second follow-me phone number. The control sends the tones as described above.
• If the second number is not acknowledged by the user pressing the [∗] key, the control dials the third
number. If the [∗] key is not pressed during the third call, the control redials the first number and the
cycle repeats up to three times or until a user presses the [∗] key on the telephone.
• If the follow-me number is for a pager, the message displayed on the pager is as follows: 104 P ZZZ
where “P” is the partition number, “ZZZ” is the 3-digit zone number of the zone in alarm.
• User code + [#] + [6] [1]
• The first follow-me phone number (if one exists) is displayed:
• To display follow-me phone number 2, press [2]. To display follow-me phone number 3, press [3].
• To modify the displayed number, do the following:
1. Press [∗], which clears the number.
2. Enter the desired phone number.
To include a 2-second pause in the number, press [#] at the point in the entry the pause is desired (it
displays as “–“). Pauses entered at the end of the number will allow dialing but will delay the
message tones by the amount of pause programmed.
3. Press [∗] to save the new number.
The next follow-me phone number in sequential order (1-2-3-1 etc.) is displayed. Press [∗] to program
that number, or press [1], [2], or [3] to select the desired follow-me number to be programmed.
