BurglatyProtection
Congratulationson your ownershipof an AdemcoSecuritySystem. You’ve
made a wise decisionin choosingit, for it representsthe latest in security
protection technologytoday, including microcomputertechnology to monitor all
system status. Ademco is the world’s largest manufacturerof security systems
and millions of premises are protected by Ademco systems.
Basically, this system offers you three forms of protection:burglary,fire and
emergency. Your system may consist of at least one console which provides full
control of system operation, various sensors such as motion detectors and door
and window sensing devices,plus a selected number of strategicallyplaced
smoke or combustiondetectorsdesignedto provide early warning in case of
fire. Your system may also have been programmedto automaticallytransmit
alarm or status messages over the phone lines to a central alarm monitoring
station.
All system functions are controlled by your console(s),which are describedin
the next section, ABOUT THE CONSOLES.
Your system’s sensing deviceshave been assignedto various “zones”.For
example, the sensing device on your Entry/Exit door may have been assigned
to zone 06, sensing devices on windows in the master bedroom to zone 10, and
so on. These zone numbers will appear on the display when an alarm or trouble
condition occurs.
The burglaryprotectionportion of your system must be turned on or “armed”
before it will sense burglary alarm conditions and sound an alarm. Your system
can be armed in one of four modes: STAY, AWAY, INSTANT and MAXIMUM.
Refer to the ARMINGTHE SYSTEM sections for instructionsin using these
modes of operation.
Your system also provides a CHIME mode for alerting you to the opening and
closing of doors and windows while the system is disarmed.

Fire ProtectionThe fire protection portion of your security system (if used) is always on and will
sound an alarm if a fire conditionis detected.Refer to the F/REALARM
SYSTEMsection for importantinformationconcerningfire protection,smoke
detectors and planning emergency exit routes from your house.
Alarmswhen an alarmoccurs,boththe
a message at the console will identify the zone(s) causing the alarm. In addition,
if your system is connected to a central monitoringstation, an alarm message
will be sent. To stop the alarm sounding, you simply disarm the system.
Memory Of AlarmWhen an alarm or trouble condition occurs, the console displays the number(s)
of the zone(s) that caused the problem, and displays the type of alarm or trouble
(ex. FIRE, ALARM, CHECK). The display remains until it is cleared by entering
the OFF sequence (security code + OFF key) twice.

ABOUTTHECONSOLES
General
Console Styles
Console Displays
Your consoles allow you to control all system functions. The consoles feature a
telephonestyle (digital)keypad and a Liquid CrystalDisplay(LCD) which
shows the nature and location of all occurrences.
The consoles feature a built-in sounder which emits alarm sounds during alarm
conditionsand produceswarningtonesduringentry(andexit,if soprogrammable)delay periods. The sounderalso providesacknowledgement
tones when keys are pressed, and confirmationtones for successful command
entries.
There are two basic styles of consoles, A and B, either of which may have been
used in your system (see page 7). Although different in appearance,both styles
are functionally the same. The keypads on style B consoles are located behind
a flip-down cover which can be removed, if desired,
There are two basic types of console displays, Alpha and Fixed-Word, either of
which may have been used in your system.

SECURITY CODES
General
Duress Code
Quick Arming
At the time of installation, your installer programmed a personal four-digit Master
code, known only to you and yours. This code is used to perform most system
functions, including arming and disarming of the system. As an additional safety
feature, temporary user codes can be assigned (see next page) for use by those
not having a need to know the Master code. Note that the Master code remains
in effect even when other user codes are assigned.
This feature is intended for use when you are forced to disarm or arm the system
under threat. When used, the system will act normally, but can silently notify the
central station of your situation, if that service has been provided.
The Duress code is the same as vour user code. except that the last digit is
increased bv one.
For example: If the normal security code is “1 2 3
4”,
the Duress security code is “1 2 3 5”.
Important: l This code is useful only when connected to a central station.
l
User codes that end in “9” (ex. 6349) cannot activate a duress
alarm (i.e., 6350 is not a duress alarm code).
If your system supports “Quick Arming”, the
“#”
key can be pressed in place of
the security code when arming the system. The security code is
required, however, when disarming the system.
always
SECUR1l’YCODES
To Assign, Change,
or Delete
User Codes
Voice Module
1. Enter your Master code and press the CODE key,
2. Enter single-digit User Number for whom a code is to be assigned, changed,
or deleted.
3. If assigningor changinga user’s code, enter the desired 4-digit code
for use by that User Number. The console will beep once.
/f deleting a user’s code, perform steps 1 and 2 and then stop. In a few
moments the console will beep once, indicatingthat the existing code has
been deleted.
Important:
● Instructother users to enter their codes carefullyto avoid accidentally
entering the Duress code. If desired, other userscan be assigned a code
ending in “9”, to prevent accidental Duress code entry.
. Temporaryusers should not be shown how to use any system function they
do not need to know (e.g., bypassing protection zones).
● Be sure user codes do not conflict with any Duress code.
If your system includes a voice module it will permit you to access the system via
a Touch-tone phone, either on-premisesor by call-in when away. You can:
● Receive voice messages over the phone regarding system status.
. Arm and disarm the system and perform most function commands.
Complete information regarding the use of this feature is provided in a separate
manual: Phone AccessUser’s Guide that accompaniesthe voice module.
Notes:
. To turn off an alarm (with any system), enter: Security Code + [l/OFF] key.
● The “CALL-IN TAMPER” (“Cl”) console display and logic described in the
guide is not present in your system.
● The Relay Command Mode described in the guide is not active with your
system, but output relay actions may stillbe controlled if installer-programmed.

ENTRY/EXITDELAYS
GeneralInformation
Exit Delay
AlertingSound
Your system has preset time delays, known as exit delay and entry delay. When
you arm your system, exit delay gives you time to leave through the entry/exit
door without setting off an alarm. Entrydelaygives you time to disarm the
system when you reenter throughthe entry/exitdoor. The system must be
disarmed,however, before the entry delay period ends, or an alarm will occur.
The console will beep slowly during the entry delay period, reminding you to
disarm the system,
You can also arm the system with no entry delay at all by using either INSTANT
or MAXIMUM arming modes. These
you are sleeping or while
you are away for extended periods of time.
modes can provide greater security while
If availablefor your system,and if so-programmedby your installer,when
arming AWAY (see page 18) or MAXIMUM(see page 19), slow beeps will
sound from the console during exit delay, turning to fast beeps during the final
five seconds of the delay time. -

1. Enter your security code and press the BYPASS key.
2. Enter zone number(s) for the zone(s) to be bypassed (e.g., 06, 10, 13, etc.).
Single digit zone numbers must be preceded by a zero (e.g. 05, 06).
3. When finished, the console will momentarily display a “Bypass” message for
each bypassedzone number. Wait for these zones to be displayed,to
confirm their bypass.
If your system supports “Quick Bypass”, it allows you to easily bypass all open
(faulted) zones without having to enter zone numbers individually.This feature
is useful if, for example, you routinely leave certain windows open when arming
at night.
To use this feature, enter your security code, press the BYPASS key, then stop.
In a few moments,all open zones will be displayedalong with a “Bypass”

WARNING!
THE LIMITATIONSOF THIS ALARMSYSTEM
While this system is an advanced design security system, it does not offer guaranteedprotection against burglary or fire or other
emergency. Any alarm system, whether commercial or residential, is subject to compromise or failure to warn for a variety of reasons.
For examde:
●
Intruders may gain access through unprotectedopenings or have the technical sophisticationto bypass an alarm sensor or
disconnect an alarm warning device.
●
Intrusion detectors (e.g. passive infrared detectors), smoke detectors, and many other sensing devices will not work without power.
Battery operated devices will not work without batteries, with dead batteries, or if the batteries are not put in properly. Devices
powered solely by AC will not work if their AC power supply is cut off for any reason, however briefly.
✎
Signals sent by wireless transmitters may be blocked or reflected by metal before they reach the alarm receiver. Even if the signal
path has been recently checked during a weekly test, blockage can occur if a metal object is moved into the path.
D
A user may not be able to reach a panic or emergency button quickly enough.
.
While smoke detectors have played a key role in reducing residential fire deaths in the United States, they may not activate or
provide early warning for a variety of reasons in as many as 35% of all fires, according to data published by the Federal Emergency
ManagementAgency. Some of the reasons smoke detectors used in conjunction with this System may not work are as follows.
Smoke detectors may have been improperly installed and positioned. Smoke detectors may not sense fires that start where smoke
cannot reach the detectors, such
not sense a fire on another level of a residence or building. A second floor detector, for example, may not sense a first floor or
basement fire. Moreover, smoke detectors have sensing limitations. No smoke detector can sense every kind of fire every time. In
general, detectors may not always warn about fires caused by carelessnessand safety hazards like smoking in bed, violent
explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing with matches, or
arson. Dependingupon the nature of the fire and/or the locations of the smoke detectors, the detector, even if it operates as
anticipated, may not provide sufficient warning to allow all occupants to escape in time to prevent injury or death.
●
Passive Infrared Motion Detectors can only detect intrusion within the designed ranges as diagramedin their installation maflUal.
Passive Infrared Detectors do not provide ~olumetric area protection, They
only be detected in unobstructed areas covered by those beams, They cannot detect motion or intrusion that takes place behind
walls, ceilings, floors, closed doors! glass partitions, glass doors, or windows. Mechanical tampering, masking, painting or spraying

(continued) WARNING! THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS ALARM SYSTEM
l
Alarm warning devices such as sirens, bells or horns may not alert people or wake up sleepers if they are located on the other side of
closed or partly open doors. If warning devices sound on a different level of the residence from the bedrooms, then they are less
likely to waken or alert people inside the bedrooms. Even persons who are awake may not hear the warning if the alarm is muffled
from a stereo! radio, air conditioner or other appliance, or by passing traffic. Finally, alarm warning devices, however loud, may not
warn hearing-Impaired people or waken deep sleepers.
l
Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premises to a central monitoring station may be out of service or temporarily
out of service. Telephone lines are also subject to compromise by sophisticated intruders.
l
Even if the system responds to the emergency as intended, however, occupants may have insufficient time to protect themselves
from the situation. In the case of a monitored alarm system, authorities may not respond appropriately.
l
This equipment, like other electrical devices, is subject to component failure. Even though this equipment is designed to last as long
as 10 years, the electronic components could fail at any time.
The most common cause of an alarm system not functioning when an intrusion or fire occurs is inadequate maintenance.
system
should be tested weekly to make sure all sensors and transmitters are working properly.
This alarm
Wireless transmitters (used with some systems) are designed to provide long battery life under normal operating conditions. Longevity
of batteries may be as much as 4 to 7 years, depending on the environment, usage, and the specific wireless device being used.
External factors such as humidity, high or low temperatures, as well as large swings in temperature, may all reduce the actual battery
life in a given installation. This wireless system, however, can identify a true low battery situation, thus allowing time to arrange a
change of battery to maintain protection for that given point within the system.
Installing an alarm system may make one eligible for lower insurance rates, but an alarm system is not a substitute for insurance.
Homeowners, property owners and renters should continue to act prudently in protecting themselves and continue to insure their lives
and property.
We continue to develop new and improved protection devices. Users of alarm systems owe it to themselves and their loved ones to
learn about these developments.
