Welcome

Welcome
Thank you for selecting the Advent Commercial security system! This system is designed to detect and respond to various security related conditions such as door/window sensor activation, smoke/heat detector activation, and oth­ers.

The system is simpleand easy to use via touchpad displays and buttons (and telephone touchpads).

The system is designed to tell you what you need to know (when you need to know) and to ask for what it needs by way of simple menu displays and selections. This method of communication simplifies your job as a user and makes the information in themanual complete and easy to follow. Advent is a tremendous, user-friendly system designed to simplify your life while providing the optimum in auto­mated security protection.

System Features

Your security system provides several options for creating the security and control environment you need in your facility. How you use the system is up to you. Regardless of the features you choose, you will find that your security system dramatically enhances your life style.
In addition to the standard intrusion and fire system fea­tures, here are just a few of the ways you can use the spe­cial features of your security system.
Note
Some features of this security system are optional and are availablefrom yoursecurity consultant.

Automatic Lighting Control

You can control lights inside and outside of your building by plugging them into wireless devices called lamp m od­ules. These lights can then be turned on and o ff using either the system touchpads or phones. In addition, the system automatically turns selected lights on during an intrusion or fire. The system automatically turns selected lights on to scare off the intruder or to help you safely enter/exit.

AutomaticD evice (Appliance) Control

You can control the appliances inside and outside by plug­ging them into wireless appliance modules. For example, the system can be programmed to automatically turn your coffee pot or other appliance on and off with a schedule.

Courtesy Features

The buttons on your hardwire touchpads light up when youfirstpushabuttonandstayonfor15secondsafterthe last button is pushed. This makes it easy to operate your system in a dimly lit entrance area. You can adjust the brightness of the display to a level that is comfortable for viewing. You can als o operate your system silently. Using this method, you can arm or disarm your system quietly and without disturbing others.

Partitions

The system can be set up by your security consultant to operate as a multi-partition system. This way the same sys­tem can be used to protect separate areas, with each area
having its own touchpad, sensors, sirens and so forth. Your
system can operate with up to 4 or 8 (depending on model)
separate partitions.

Areas

You can choose whether or not to treat partitions as areas.
If treated as areas:
! Zones, touchpads, schedules, programming options,
etc., belong to areas instead of partitions.
! Users may “jump” from one area to another area using
an alphanumeric touchpad.
! The word “partition” will be changed to “area” wher-
ever it is spoken, displayed, or printed.
! Users can display status for all areas in one operation
(Global Status).

Zone/Sensor Types

The sensors in your system are made up of different
“types,” and various sensor types react differently. Certain
sensors automatically trigger a call to the central monitor-
ing station immediately after being set off, or “tripped.”
Other sensors trigger a call to the central monitoring sta-
tion only after being tripped twice within a certain time
period. Some sensors react silently while others allow you
to set entry and exit delays. There are “local-only” sensors
that sound sirens at your premise but do not send a call for
help. The following are some of the useful ways you can
use various sensor types in your building.
! Monitor “Off-Limits” Areas of the Premises -Many
areas can be hazardous to children. Using local-only sensors, you can monitor certain areas such as swim­ming pools. If the pool gate or door is opened,a siren beeps. The beeping stops when the gate or door is closed. You can also use this sensor type to alert you to cars approaching, to monitor mailboxes so you know when the mail arrives, and as a wireless door­bell.
! Protect Private Business Information - You can con-
trol accessibility to private documents or money drawers. For example, sensors could be set to beep any time the safe door is opened during business hours. You can also assign up to 100 or 250 (depend­ing on model) different system access codes to users. Then, if you choose to receive opening and closing reports from your central monitoring station, you can check employee arming and disarming procedures. If your system is not properly armed, you can be called. If normal opening procedures aren’t followed, addi­tional people can be notified.
If your building has a security gate covering the front door and windows, you may choose to put a sensor on the gate to sound a local siren if someone shakes the gate to scare them away but not to call the central sta­tion. If the intruder continues to break in, other sen­sors protecting the front door and windows would call the central monitoring station.
! Set Doors and Windows for Entry/Exit- Entry and exit
door sensors can be set to one of three delays, depend­ing on how accessible your doors are to your system touchpad or Touch-Tone
®
telephone. The delays are
set to give you enough time to get in and out of your
Advent® Commercial System

System Information

building, but not allow an intruder to sneak in behind you. You may want a short delay on the door leading from the parking garage and a little longer delay on the overhead garage door. You can have an even longer delay on the driveway gate.

What Happens in an Emergency?

Your security system touchpad has three panic alarms— police, fire, and auxiliary or m edical—that call for help immediately. They are activated by pressing the appropri­ate touchpad buttons. Even very young children can learn how to send for emergency help if needed. Police and fire fighters will know the exact location and nature of the emergency.
Your security system can also monitor the normal activity for your premises and call for help automatically if normal activities are not detected. For example, if someone falls and can’t move, the system notices that normal activities, such as placing outgoing calls or opening doors and win­dows, have not occurred for a certain length of time. Your system sounds a low-volume siren for 5 (programmable) minutes to let you know there may be a problem. If all is well, you can stop the siren by disarming your system. If no one disarms the system during the 5 minutes, your sys­tem calls for help. Refer to Appendix A, “Planning for Emergencies” for emergency planning details.

Using the System When You’re Away

Off-siteoperations using any Touch-Tone telephone allow you to control and monitor most of your system features even while you are away. You can turn lights and appli­ances on and off, check for any trouble conditions, and
even bypass the sensor on a door to let in an employee, delivery person, or service person.
System Information
You may have installed this security system simply to pre­vent break-ins and theft and to detect fires. However, your new security system can alert you to many other emergen­cies. Plus, this security system lets you monitor and con­trol conditions in your business even when you are away.

To effectively use your security system, you need to develop a few simple habits:

! Check for open doors and windows before leaving. ! Remember to gather your things and then arm your
system and exit before the exit delay time expires. ! Remember to disarm your system within the entry
delay time when you return. ! Respond to beeps, light indicators,and voice
announcements from your system, which indicate the
status of your system. You soon become aware of the benefits these few si mple
habits bring you and help you incorporate your security system seamlessly into your everyday l ife.

Global Settings

Note
Police and Fire alarm voice messages are optionally at full vol u me. Auxiliary and medical alarms are affected by status voice volume.
Global Settings

Global system settings specify how the entire system behaves.

Global Access Code

There are two types of codes regarding partitions/areas. Global access codes can be used in all partitions/areas. All other access codes belong to the partition/area in which they were added and cannot be used to control other parti­tions/areas. When a touchpad is redirected to a new parti­tion/area, any access code used must be valid in that partition to work.
The partition/area of an access code cannot be changed. However,the same code may be programmed in morethan one partition/area, with each instance of the code repre­senting a unique user number. The panel does not allow the user to add a duplicate code within a partition/area, globally,or a user code which is equal to the installercod e.

Area Jumping

Normally, an Advent panel has partitions and no areas. Your security consultant can turn your partitions into areas which then allows you to jump between areas using the alphanumeric touchpad. Only users with global access codes with primary or full authority can access this.
Every tim e a jump occurs, a 4-minute timer is started. When this timer expires, the touchpad jumps back to its original area automatically. Also, every time the touchpad becomes inactive, (no menu changes) a shorter, program­mable time, (default 10 seconds), starts. When this timer expires, the touchpad jumps back to its original area auto­matically.
To jump between areas:

Steps Response

1. Press 7, 7 (from main
menu).
2. Enter your global ACCESS
.
CODE

3. Enter the area to redirect the touchpad to.

Global Status and History

If partitions have been turned into areas, the user can also check for global status and history. Selecting global status allows the user to view the following:
! Arming status of all enabled areas. ! Whether any alarms are active in any enabled area. ! Whether a battery test, LED test, or download is in
progress.

Access Codes

The system access codes are used to limit certain system operations to authorized personnel. Access codes are pro­grammable and are from four to six digits long. The sys­tem will indicate if and when an access code is required to perform any desired function. When played, enter the access code using the touchpad buttons.
The system automatically has one access code for the pri­mary user in each partition/area. It is the primary access code. You can change the primary access code, but you cannot delete it. In addition to this primary access code, you can create secondary access codes for other users.
Note
If you enter access codes with a partition code, all codes added will work for that partition. If a global code is used, all codes added will automatically be global codes.

Adding an Access Code

Add an access code to the system whenever you want other authorized persons to have use of the system.

Guidelines

1. Do not use sequential numbers (1234, 5678, etc.) that can be easily defeated by unauthorized users.

2. Do not use birthdate/year combinations which others may know.

Authority Levels
Each access code has an authority level which determines the authority the user has to execute certain actions. There are three pre-defined authorities and eight configurable authorities.
Installer Authority - Can enter program mode (if parti­tions/areas are disarmed), gain remote access, do phone test, do installer zone test, initiate a downloader call, review status and event history, control lights and devices, change installer code, change arming level within one hour of exiting program mode. Cannot change schedules or access codes (except own), bypass zones, extend arming levels, change arming levels except as stated above. Installer code is permanent.
Primary Authority - Primary user for that partition/area. There is exactly one primary code per partition/area. This code is permanent and cannot be restricted. Can do every­thing except enter program mode, do ins taller zone test, initiate a downloader call. Primary codes are permanent.
Full Authority -
except add/delete/change/list codes of equal or higher author­ity.
Authority 1 to 8 - Configurable authorities. In general,
authority 1 should be the highest of the configurable authori­ties and authority 8 the lowest.

Authority Level Definitions

The three pre-defined and ei ght configurable authorities allow you to carry out a specific set of actions which require an access code and deny others. Whenever one of these actions is requested from a touchpad, the panel prompts you for an access code and determines whether the entered code has sufficient authority. If not, the panel responds with
Candoeverythingtheprimaryusercando
INVALID AUTHORITY.

Alarms
Emergency alarms notify you and the system monitoring service in case of an emergency.Although alarms are auto­matically activated by the various system sensors, you can also manually activate alarms.
When an alarm is activated, combinations of loud exterior and interior sirens sound and a very realistic voice calls out one of several messages, for example, Fire Alarm or Police Alarm.
Your system has some precautionary features that allow alarms to be validated or canceled before calling the cen­tral station. For example, when an intruder is detected, your system soundsan alarm immediately in an attempt to scare off the intruder. If the alarm verification feature* is on, your system will not initiate a call to the central moni­toring station unless a second sensor is activated within 4 minutes. You can also choose to delay the sounding of exterior sirens for 15 seconds, giving you time to correct an arming mistake or a false alarm before your neighbors are alerted.
* - Not available in UL listed installations.

Preventing Accidental Alarms

This section explains how to avoid the surprise and annoy­ance of accidental alarms.

Tips for Avoiding Accidental Alarms

! Be aware of the system devices and how they operate. ! Always make sure the door is fully closed when enter-
ing and exiting the building.
! Remember to disarmthe system if you are interrupted
during the entry/exit delay time.
! Make sure all doors leading outside have delay times.
If your system is armed to PERIMETER, an alarm will sound immediately if you open a door that is set to instant.
! Motion detectors operate by detecting the change in
temperature when something passes in front of them. If you have pets, you may want to eliminate motion detectors or ask your dealer to install “pet lenses.”
! Check the location of your smoke detectors. Keep in
mind that smoke detectors canbe activated by sources of steam, smoke, or airborne dust that can occur dur­ing normal activities.

Cancelling an Alarm

Cancelling an alarm turns off the sirens and in somecases, also prevents the system from reporting to the monitoring service.
! Police alarm—You must cancel the alarm within 5
(programmable) seconds to prevent the system from reporting to the monitoring service.
! Fire alarm—Even if you cancel the alarm right away,
the system still reports to the monitoring service. When this happens, call your monitoring service and follow their instructions to prevent the firedepartment from being dispatched.
! Auxiliary or medical alarm—You must cancel the
alarm within 5 (programmable) seconds to prevent the system from reporting to the monitoring service.
To cancel an accidental alarm:

Manually Resetting Hardwired Smoke Detectors
Manually resetting a smoke detector following a test or alarm resets tripped detectors. This procedure is rarely needed because smoke detectors are automatically reset when an alarm is acknowledged or canceled.
To manually reset tripped smoke det ectors:

Steps Response

1. Press 8, 9 (from main
menu).
SYSTEM MENU; RESET SMOKE
; ENTERYOURCODE
POWER
2. Enter your ACCESS CODE. SMOKE LOOP RESET
Note
Do not reset smoke detectors until the location of the activated detector is determined and the smoke source removed.

System Tampering

The system will automatically detect and indicate the type of tampering:

! Touchpad access code tampering - If set up by the
installer,four incorrect access code attempts results in
KEYSTROKE VIOLATION/police alarm.
a
! Remote phone access code tampering - Four incorrect
attempts at entering an access code results in a indication and temporarily disables further access.

Turning Security Protection On

Turning security protection on means arming the system against fire, intrusion, or other emergencies. You can arm the system to one of several levels depending on your needs throughout the day. Table 5 shows which sensors are active in the various arming levels.

Using the No Activity Feature

The sy stem can monitor the activity at the premises and automatically call for help if normal activities are not detected within a defined period of time.
For example, if someone falls and can’t move, the system will detect that normal activities, such as placing outgoing calls or opening doors andw indows, havenot occurredfor a predetermined No Activity time.
The system sounds a low-volume auxiliary alarm to let you know there may be a problem. If all is well, you can stop the siren by disarming your system. If the system is not disarmed within 5 minutes, it calls the central monitor-

ing station. The central monitoring station will send emer­gency personnel to the premises to check out the situation.
Note
Contact your security consultant to enable or di sable this feature.

Using Opening and Closing Reports

Opening and Closing Reports allows pagerholders, system printer (if any), and the central station to be notified when­ever the system is armed and/or disarmed.
Opening and closing reports occur without special user input and without regard to any time schedule.
Whenever the system is disarmed, an opening report is paged, printed, or reported to the monitoring service. For example,
CODE
Whenever the system is armed, a closing report is paged, printed, or reported. For example, NORMAL CLOSING,[SOURCE
DEVICE TEXT OR ID
If so programmed, opening and closing reports (as well as all other system event s) are automatically recorded in the system history buffer. See Checking the History Buffer section for details.

The system can also be set up to report if an opening or closing occurs outside a set schedule.

Open/Close Schedules

To define an open/close window in a partition for a given day,exactly two open/close schedules must be valid on that day. When neither schedule is on, the partition/area is expected to be closed. After one schedule turns on the par­tition is expecting an opening. When both schedules are on, the partition/area is expected to be open. When the other schedule is off, the partition/area is expecting a clos­ing. As soon as both schedules are off again, the partition/ area is expected to be closed again.

Opening/Closing Exception Reports

The opening and closing exception reports feature allows programmed pagerholders and/or the central station to be notified when arming or disarming occurs outside of spec­ified time schedules.
When the system d etects an opening or closing arming change that is early, normal, or late, it reports t he arming change as such. If the system cannot classify an abnormal arming change as early or late, it reports a generic excep­tion. If at the end of an opening or closing time window, the partition/area is not open or closed, respectively, the

system reports that the partition/area failed to open or close.
Here are two specific examples o f how opening and clos­ing exception might be used in a business setting:
! Every morning you’d like to be notified if your busi-
ness is disarmed after its normal opening time.
! Every evening you’d like to be notified if your busi-
ness is armed before its normal closing time.
The most typical setup of this feature makes use of both exception opening and exception closing. (However, it is possible to use only exception opening or only exception closing.)
Follow the detailed procedure defining opening and clos­ing schedules located in the Setting Weekly Schedules sec­tion.
Note
Contact your security consultantif you would like to turn the exception reporting on or offfor any particular pager, system printer, or for the central station.

Automating The System Using Schedules

Schedules are used to automatically controlthe system ata predetermined day and time. Schedules can be used for automatically turningsystem controlled lights and devices on or off. They can automatically arm o r disarm the sys­tem and also define time periods during which business type openings, closings, and access codes are valid.
Each system partition/area (separate protected area) can have up to 32 programmed (numbered) schedules. All schedules belong to a partition/area; there are no global schedules.

Each schedule also has an arming type defining what arm­ing actions, if any, are taken at a schedule transition. The daylight type determines whether the schedule is used in type defining whether on or off-times are adjusted daily based on variations in sunrise or sunset. The daylight type also determines whether thepanel is the in the Northern or Southern hemisphere.

Schedule Types

Every schedule is defined to be either valid or invalid dur­ing four different s chedule types in a given partition/area. The types are:
! Type 1 (Normal) is valid whenever it is not a holiday
and the schedule condition is not temporary.
! Type 2 (Holiday A) is valid when the current date
matches a holiday date programmed in the Holiday A list. This list is pre-programmed by the installer. A holiday condition is overridden by a temporary condi­tion.
Advent® Commercial System
Page 21
! Type 4 (Holiday B) is valid when the current date
matches a holiday date programmed in the Holiday B list. This list is also pre-programmed by the installer. A holiday condition is overridden by a temporary con­dition.
! Type 8 (Temporary) is valid during a temporary con-
dition which has been turned on by the user via the Schedule Menu. It will stay there until the temporary condition is canceled by the user. The temporary con­dition overrides all other conditions.
Any schedule can be defined to be valid in any combina­tion of these conditions. When the schedule is defined in the Schedule Menu, the user is prompted for the schedule type. To determine the type, give each condition the numerical value in parentheses above and add up the val­ues. For example, if a schedule should be valid under nor­mal and holiday B conditions, the schedule type is 5 (see Table 6).
Appendix D has a table to list and keep track of all your programmed schedule conditions and options. Refer to Tables 12 and 13 in Appendix D to list all your pro­grammed Holidays.
Note
Only your installer can program the holiday list

Any schedule can be defined to b e a w eekly schedule. For a weekly schedule, the user defines on what days of the week the schedule is valid. A weekly schedule must havea valid on-time and a valid off-time. These times define when the schedule shouldturn on and off and are the same for every day of the week.

Associating Lights, Devices and Access Codes with Schedules

The association of schedules with lights, devices, and access codes are programmed in the Light Menu, Device Menu, and Access Code Menu, respectively.

Lights and De vices

Each valid menu output can be associated with any of the schedules in its partition/area. Whenever a transition of an associated schedule occurs, the state of the output is
Advent® Commercial System
reevaluated. All schedule transitions occur at minute boundaries. The following rules apply:
! If any associated schedules turn on, the output is
turned on.
! If any associated one-time schedule turns off, the out-
put is turned off. This occurs even if other associated schedules are still on.
! If any associated weekly schedule turns off and there
are no associated schedules on, the output is turned off. If any other associated schedules remain on, the output is unchanged.
21
Page 24

System Status

Some general rules are that on-transitions have priority over off-transitions, and one-time schedules have priority over weekly schedules. Also, user-initiated changes (i.e. an output state change via a touchpad) have priority over scheduled changes, so that when an output is turned on or off by a user its state does not change back until the next valid schedule transition.

Access Code Schedules

Each valid access code except those which can never be disabled (installer and primary codes) can be associated with any ofthe schedules in its partition. Global codes, i.e. those valid in all partitions, can only be associated with schedules in partition1. When a transition of an associated schedule occurs, nothing happens to the access code. Rather, the validity of an access code is determined when the code is being used. When a user is prompted for a code, the system checks whether any schedules are tied to the code. If so, the code is valid whenever any of it s asso­ciated schedules is on and invalid if all of its associated schedules are off.

A smoke detector should be located in each room.
NOTE: Ceiling-mounted smoke detectors should be located in the center of the room or hall, or not less than 4 inches from the wall. When the detector is mounted on the wall, the top of the detector should be 4 to 12 inches from the ceiling.
NOTE: Do not install smoke detectors where normal ambient temperatures are above 100°F or below 40°F. Also, do not locate detectors in front of AC/ Heat registers or other locations where normal air circulation will keep smoke from entering the detector.
