system, it is important that you feel comfortable operating it. Your
system may consist of:
x
6270 Touch Screen Keypad
x
One or more other keypads for system control
x
Various sensors for perimeter and interior burglary protection,
plus a selected number of strategically placed smoke or
combustion detectors
x
Lighting/switching devices.

The system uses microcomputer technology to monitor all zones, and
provides appropriate information for display on the 6270 and/or other
keypads used with the system. Your system may also have been
programmed to automatically transmit alarm or status messages over
the phone lines to a central alarm monitoring station.
feature has not been evaluated by UL.
The 6270 Interface
The 6270 is an intuitive, graphical interface that combines security
and optionally, home lighting control. With clear, simple controls on a
touch-screen interface, the entire family will find the 6270 both easy
to learn and easy to use.

Navigating through the 6270
Navigation through the 6270 typically begins from the "Home"
screen. This is the 6270’s main default screen (starting screen) and is
the first screen you will see when the 6270 is powered up and
initialized. It is from this screen that you will select from the main
menu. Once you have made your selection, you will navigate through
various sub-menus by touching buttons or icons to perform the
function you desire.
About Your Home Screen
Your "Home" screen is the gateway to your 6270 Touch Screen
Keypad. From this screen you can:
x
access messages
x
control your security system, and optionally,
x
control the premises lighting.

Your "Home" screen is displayed at all times, except when the system
is armed or you select another screen option.

System Overview
Introduction to Your System
This system offers you burglary protection and may offer fire and
emergency protection. Monitoring is accomplished with various
contact and motion sensors for perimeter and interior burglary
protection, plus the system may have strategically placed smoke,
heat, or combustion detectors.
Burglary Protection
The burglary protection portion of your system must be turned on or
"armed" before it will sense burglary alarm conditions. Your system
provides three modes of burglary protection: Away, Stay, and Night,
and even allows you to “bypass” selected zones of protection while
leaving the rest of the system armed (e.g. this enables you to arm the
system but leave upper-story windows open.)
The system also provides a Chime mode, for alerting users to the
opening and closing of doors and windows even while the system is
disarmed.
Partitions
This system may be configured to arm and disarm more than one
area, each as if it had its own control. These areas are called
partitions. Partitions are used when the user wants to disarm certain
areas while leaving other areas armed, or to limit access to certain
areas to specific individuals. Each user of the system can be
authorized to operate all or only some partitions, and can be given
different privileges in each. Information about Partitions is
presented later in this document.
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 will appear on the
display, along with an alpha descriptor for that zone (if programmed),
when an alarm or trouble condition occurs.
10
System Overview (Cont'd)
Entry/Exit Delays
Your system has preset time delays, referred to as exit delay and
entry delay. Whenever you arm your system, exit delay gives you
time to leave through the designated exit door without setting off an
alarm. Exit delay begins immediately after entering any arming
command, and applies to all modes of arming protection. If
programmed, a slow beeping will sound throughout the exit delay
period.
Entry delay gives you time to disarm the system when you reenter
through the designated entrance door. But the system must be
disarmed before the entry delay period ends, or an alarm will occur.
The keypad will beep during the entry delay period, reminding you to
disarm the system. Ask your installer about the delay times
programmed into your system.
Alarms
When an alarm occurs, the 6270 (and any other keypads) and
external sounders will sound, and the zone(s) causing the alarm are
displayed. If your system is connected to a central monitoring station,
an alarm message will also be sent. To stop the alarm sounding,
simply disarm the system.
Memory of Alarm
When an alarm condition occurs, the number(s) of the zone(s) that
caused the problem are displayed, along with the type of alarm. These
remain displayed until cleared by disarming the system.
Fire Protection
The optional fire protection portion of your security system (if used) is
always on and will sound an alarm if a fire condition is detected.
11
System Overview (cont'd)
User Codes
Each user must be assigned a name with a corresponding 4-digit user
code in order to gain access to various features and functions. Users
for the system are programmed in a central user setup location that
provides the specific questions for authorization level, partition
assignment, and RF button assignment.
Extended Functionality
Extended functions are advanced functions that can be accessed
through a standard alpha keypad or through emulation mode on your
6270 touch screen. Refer to your Control Panel User Guide for these
features.
