About the TouchCenter

Introduction

Congratulations on your ownership of a Honeywell Security System. You've made a wise decision in choosing it, for it represents the latest in security protection technology today.

• This security system offers you burglary protection and may provide fire, carbon monoxide and emergency protection. To realize the full potential of the system, it is important that you feel comfortable operating it. Your system may consist of one or more of the following TouchCenter Keypads:

• 6271V (Black and white display, and Voice feature with white housing)

• 6271C (Color display with white housing)

• 6271CS (Color display with silver / black housing)

• 6271CB (Color display with black housing)

• 6271CV (Color display and Voice feature with white housing) One

or more other keypads for system control

• Various sensors for perimeter and interior burglary protection, plus a selected number of strategically placed smoke, carbon monoxide or combustion detectors

• Lighting/switching devices.

NOTE: Models 6271V and 6271CV are available in English only.

Note: The 6271 Series devices are certified SIA-compliant devices that

meet SIA specifications for False Alarm Reduction.

The home lighting feature has not been evaluated by UL.

The system uses microcomputer technology to monitor all zones, and provides appropriate information for display on the TouchCenter 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.

The TouchCenter Interface

The TouchCenter 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 TouchCenter both easy to learn and easy to use.

About the TouchCenter (cont'd)

As a security and home-automation interface, the TouchCenter may be used for:

• Quick and easy security system operation

• Message storage and retrieval (6271V and 6271CV ONLY)

• Home lighting control

Navigating through the TouchCenter

Navigation through the TouchCenter typically begins from the "Home" screen. This is the TouchCenter’s main default screen (starting screen) and is the first screen you will see when the TouchCenter 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 graphical buttons or icons to perform the function you desire.

About Your Home Screen

Your "Home" screen is the gateway to your TouchCenter Keypad. From this screen you can:

• control your security system, and optionally,

• control your message center (6271V and 6271CV ONLY), and

• control the premises lighting.

Your "Home" screen is displayed most of the time, except when you select another screen option.

• The background and buttons shown on the “Home” screen in this manual are for example only. Your system installer may have changed the actual background and buttons shown on your “Home” screen.

• The Message button applies to the 6271V and 6271CV Only.

System Overview

Introduction to Your System

This system offers you burglary protection and may offer fire, carbon monoxide 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, carbon monoxide 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 in all keypads, and Voice mode in 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.

6271V and 6271CV only, for alerting users to the opening and

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.

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. Additionally if programmed, a rapid beeping may sound during the final 10 seconds of the exit delay period.

Note: 6271V and Voice Status Icon restarts the exit delay. Refer to your control panel User Guide to see if this is applicable on your system.

Entry delay gives you time to disarm the system when you enter 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 TouchCenter (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.

6271CV Only – On some systems, pressing the

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. Note: If you change screens, the alarm in memory can be viewed and cleared by selecting the Display Faults button on the Arming Screen.

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. Note: If a fire or smoke detector develops a low battery, a “Fire Maintenance” message is displayed. To determine which zone is causing the problem, go to “Display Faults” to determine which zone has the low battery indication.

System Overview (cont'd)

Carbon Monoxide Protection

The optional carbon monoxide protection portion of your security system (if used) is always on and will sound an alarm if a carbon monoxide condition is detected. Note: If a carbon monoxide detector develops a low battery, a “Carbon Monoxide Maintenance” message is displayed. To determine which zone is causing the problem, go to “Display Faults” to determine which zone has the low battery indication.

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 the console emulation mode on your TouchCenter touch screen. Refer to your Control Panel User Guide for these features.

Safe Mode

The TouchCenter contains a Safe Mode of operation. In the rare event that the TouchCenter cannot successfully communicate in its graphic mode with the control panel, the Safe Mode is a backup mode that ensures that you can communicate with your system. In this mode, the TouchCenter operates much like a standard non-graphic keypad so that you can control your system until the problem is corrected.

If this situation occurs, the TouchCenter presents you with a message of “Problems detected. Start Keypad in Safe Mode?” and requests a “Yes” or “No” response. If you answer with “Yes”, the TouchCenter will go into the Safe Mode. If you answer with “No”, the TouchCenter will try communicating with the panel again. After 3 consecutive times of receiving no response, the TouchCenter will enter the Safe Mode automatically.

Note: Use care when providing the “Yes” or “No” response. Touching the screen outside the prescribed area may cause the background to come to the front. If this occurs, the Yes/No message that disappeared

System Overview (Cont'd)

will time out in 30 seconds even though it is not visible. Then the keypad will reset into the Normal Mode (or Safe Mode if this is the third time that the warning message appeared).

While in the Safe Mode, the Home screen will display the Security Button, Panic Button, and a message at the bottom of the screen as shown below:

Note that this is a limited mode of operation. While in this mode:

• You can use the Security button to access the Console Emulation Mode of operation to try to clear your faults, disarm the system, or enter additional Alpha Keypad commands specified in your panel User Guide. You can perform almost all functions that you can perform from a standard non-graphic alpha keypad.

• You can press the “Panic” key and generate Emergency Messages as defined in the panel's home partition for this TouchCenter.

• The Armed and Ready LEDs on the front of the TouchCenter will indicate the TouchCenter’s home partition status. The Message (

models with Voice feature

feature) LED is not active in the Safe Mode.

• The Chime mode will function in the Safe Mode: however, you will

not have Voice, Voice Chime, or Message capability if using the 6271V and 6271CV.

• When in Safe Mode, the lock on the Security button on the Home screen will always be shown in the unlocked position. Refer to the Armed LED for the true armed status of your system.

• When an alarm occurs in the Safe Mode, it is displayed on the Console mode screen only. It will not be shown on the Home screen and the lock on the Home screen will not change color – it will appear in the unlock position.
