Introduction to Your Security
System

Your security system uses wireless technology to warn
your family about intrusion, carbon monoxide and fire. It
may also be used to control l ights and appliances within
your home. The system has the capabilities of communi­cating with a central monitoring station and sendi ng mes­sages to a numeric pager.

This manual describes how to operate your system. It will
guide you through programming instructions for system
features as well as basic arming and disarming commands
for the system.

Security System Components

The security system uses devices called sensors that use
radio waves to communicate alarms to the Control Panel
(panel).

The system is supervised, meaning that the panel checks
the status of each sensor to detect problems. If the panel
detects trouble it will notify you with beeps and indicator
lights on the panel itself.

Your security system installation may include any of the
following devices:

Control Panel

The Control Panel is used to operate and program your
security system. It communicates to you through voice
messages, beeps, and by lighting or flashing buttons. The
panel can communicate to a central monitoring station,
numeric pager, or both.

Touchpads

Remote Handheld Touchpads are used to control the
security system primarily from within the home.

Keychain Touchpads are used to control the security sys­tem from within or near the outside of your home.

Sensors

Indoor Motion Sensors detect motion in a protected
indoor area. When motion is detected the panel may
respond by sounding chimes or an alarm.

Outdoor Motion Sensors detect motion in a protected
outdoor area. When motion is detected, the system may
respond by sounding chimes or turning on outside lights.
These sensors are not used for intrusion detection.

Door/Window Sensors detect the opening of a door or
window.

Smoke Sensors detect smoke and a significant rise in tem­perature. They have a built in siren that sounds when
smoke or a significant rise in temperature is detected.

Freeze Sensors detect furnace failure. If the insi de tem­perature drops below 41

°F, the sensor will notif y the

panel. The sensor will s end a restore signal to the panel
when the temperature rises to 50°F.

Carbon Monoxide Sensors detect carbon monoxide.
They have a built in siren that sounds when carbon mon­oxide is detected.

Modules

Appliance Modules can be programmed to turn appli­ances or fluorescent lights on and off.

Lamp Modules can be programmed to turn non-fluores­cent lights on and off.

Universal Modules are primarily used for controlling
devices other than appliances and lamps. Check with your
installer for other applications.

Audio Verification Module (AVM) is primarily used by
the central monitoring station to monitor sounds and ver­bally communicate with a person inside the home. This
feature is similar to a speaker phone feature on a phone.

How You Communicate to Your
System

Sending commands or instructing your security system is
done through key presses on the panel, touchpads, or
through the use of a remote telephone.

Control Panel

You can enter commands for your security system thro ugh
simple key presses on the panel. Depending on how your
system is programmed, you may need to enter an access
code for certain commands. An access code is a numeric
code that allows authorization to operate your security sys­tem.

Note

The Master Access Code default is 1-2-3-4 when the
security system is shipped from the factory. You
should change your code after your system is
installed (see “Programming Your System”).

2

Remote Handheld Touchpad

This touchpad gives you the option to enter commands
from any room in your house. You can enter commands
through simple key presses on the touchpad.

Keychain Touchpad

Keychain Touchpads are handy for simple arming and dis­arming functions. They are portabl e and can be carried off­site in a purse or pocket

Telephone

Touchtone telephones can be used to communicate with
your system while you are off-site. Ask your installer if
you have this feature.

How to Use Your Control Panel

The panel interface consists of four rows of buttons.

❑ HOME SECURITY
❑ CODE
❑ HOME CONTROL
❑ EMERGENCY

Note

It may be necessary to enter an access code to arm
your system. Check with your installer to see if this
feature is enabled.

HOME SECURITY

The Home Security buttons are used to arm and disarm
doors, windows and motion sensors in your system. The
System Status button is used to give informati on on sys­tem activity.

Arm

Turn on i ntrusion/bu rglary p rotection for y our system. You
can arm door/window sensors, motion sensors or both
depending on the buttons you press.

Disarm

Turn off intrusion/burglary protection for your system.
Only intrusion/burglary sensors such as doors/windows
and motion are disarmed. Environmental sensors, such as
smoke and carbon monoxide stay armed at all times.

System S tatus

Press to hear information about your system. If the button
is lit, there is a problem with the system. If the button is
blinking, an alarm has occurred. Press the button to hear
what is wrong with the system. (See “Status Beeps”.)

Exit Delay

Exit Delay is the amount of time the system gives you to
exit the home before the system is armed (between 5 and
254 seconds). This is programmed by the installer. When
you arm you will hear beeps during the exit delay (see the
table “Status Beeps” of this manual to determine the mean­ing of panel/system beeps).

Your Exit Delay is set for ___ seconds.

Entry Delay

Entry Delay is the amount of time the system gives you to
disarm the system after entering the home. This is pro­grammed by the installer. When you enter your home you
will hear beeps during the entry delay (see the table “Sta-
tus Beeps” of this manual to determine the meaning of
panel/system beeps).

Your Entry Delay is set for ___ seconds.

Quick Exit

The Quick Exit feature is used when someone wants to
briefly leave while the home is still armed (i.e. get the
newspaper). This feature needs to be enabled by your
installer. When you press the Disarm button the panel will
announce exit time on. This will allow a designated exit
door to be open for up to 2 minutes without triggering an
alarm.

Note

The designated door may be opened and closed
once. If you close the designated door behind you
when you exit, you will have to disarm the system
upon reentering. Leave the designated door open
while using the Quick Exit feature.

Latchkey

Latchkey is used to notify parents, via a numeric pager, if
children do not arrive home at a predetermined time and
disarm the system. For example, you set the La tchkey time
for 3:00 pm. If the system isn’t disarmed by that time a
message is sent to your numeric pager (see “Numeric
Pager”).

Subdisarm

If your syste m includes 24-hour protect ion sensors on
items such as gun or jewelry cases, you must subdisarm
the panel before accessing these areas to avoid causing an
alarm.
