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.
