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 AND
PRECAUTIONS IN THIS BOOKLET. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN THE
SECURITY SYSTEM NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THIS BOOKLET SHOULD BE KEPT
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. READ THE ENTIRE MANUAL AND, IF POSSIBLE, PRA CTICE
ON THE KEYPAD CONTROL WHILE YOUR PROFESSIONAL INSTALLER IS ON SITE.
The SECURITY CONTROL 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 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 LCD keypad includes 9 lights and a 32-character liquid crystal display
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 sy stem.
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 sy stem is an electronic device and is subject to failure or malfunct ion.
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 A.C. Power removed to verify the battery is
connected and adequately charged.
8. Care should be taken to plug in and restrain the A.C. Transformer after testing.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
BEFORE OPERATING YOUR SECURITY CONTROL SYSTEM. IF YOU DO NOT
UNDERSTAND ANY PORTION OF THIS MANUA L, OR IF YOU HA VE ANY QUESTIONS
ABOUT YOUR SYSTEM, CONTACT THE INSTALLING COMPANY.

UNDERSTANDING THE 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

partition is bypassed. If the bypass light is “off”, no zones are
bypassed.

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.)

rapidly flashing fire light means that a fire zone is in a trouble
condition.

light will flash if the system has a low battery condition.

KEYPAD FUNCTIONS
ARMING YOUR SYSTEM IN THE “AWAY” MODE
AWAY is utilized when the user is going away from the premise and wants the
interior protected. Listed below are the steps to arm in the AWAY Mode:
Step 1 Close all protected doors and windows.
Ready light will be on or
flashing when all protected
zones and sensors are
secure. NOTE: If any zones
are bypassed, a sensor in
that zone can be violated without affecting the ready light.
The security system will not
arm if the ready light is off.
Refer to "Making Your
System Ready to Arm".
If the power light is off, you have no AC power. Restore power if
possible. If not, contact the installing company.
Step 2 Enter your 4 or 6 digit user code to arm the system.
The armed and exit lights will illuminate.
You may now leave the building.
IMPORTANT!
The exit light will flash rapidly for the last 10 seconds of the exit delay as a
warning to the user that the exit time is about to expire. The user may wish
to disarm and rearm the system if more time is needed.
MAKING YOUR SYSTEM READY TO ARM
If the ready light is not on or if it is flashing, a zone is not secure. To identify this
zone, use the scroll keys • – to the right of the display to browse through the
zones that are not normal. If you wish to bypass or unbypass one of these zones,
press the [BYPASS] key while that zone is being displayed. When finished
viewing the zones, press the # key to return to the code entry screen.

ARMING YOUR SYSTEM IN THE “STAY” MODE
STAY is utilized when the user is inside the premise and wants protection around
the perimeter. The steps to arm in the STAY Mode are as follows:
Step 1 Close all protected doors and windows.
Ready light must be on or flashing (force armed) when all protected
zones and sensors are secure. NOTE: If any zones are bypassed,
a sensor in that zone can be violated without affecting the ready
light.
The security system will not arm if the ready light is not on or flashing.
If the power light is off, you have no AC power. Restore power if
possible. If not, contact the installing company for service.
Step 2 Enter your 4 or 6 digit user code. (Optional, if programmed.)
If “Auto Bypass” is enabled, all interior zones will be bypassed if you
do not leave through a designated entry/exit door. If Auto Bypass is
enabled, omit Step 3.
When “Auto Instant” is enabled, if you do not leave through a
designated entry/exit door, the display will read “Instant”, indicating
that the entry/exit doors no longer have an entry delay. If “Auto
Instant” is enabled, omit Step 4.
Step 3 Press the [STAY] key.
The stay light will illuminate indicating that all interior zones are
bypassed. (All interior devices will bypass automatically, giving the
user freedom of movement within the interior area.)
The bypass light will illuminate if any zone(s) are bypassed. If any
zone (s) have been bypassed previously by the user, the light(s)
corresponding to the bypassed zone(s) will illuminate, alerting the
user that a zone(s) may be unprotected and can be faulted without an
alarm.
