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.
! 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
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:
StepsResponse
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.

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.

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.

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:

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.

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-
16
Advent® Commercial System

Controlling Lights andDevices
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.

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.

Chime and Latchkey Features
Chime Feature
The chime feature will alert you whenever someone enters
or leaves through a perimeter door. This may be used, for
example, during a party to announce arriving guests or
during the day to announce exits and entries.
To turn the chime feature on or off:

FEATURES MENU, CHIME ON (if off) or
CHIME OFF (if on).
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.

Arming Schedules
Besides a schedule type, every schedule also has an arming type. Table 7 defines the valid arming types. To keep
scheduled arming simple, only one arming schedule
should be defined on a given day .
Schedule on- or off-times may be tied to the daily variations in sunrise and sunset. Each midnight, sunrise/sunset
schedules are adjusted based on the change in sunrise or
sunset times. The amplitude of the variations is based on
the programmed latitude. When programmed, each schedule is assigned a daylight type. Table 8 defines the daylight
types.
! Weekly schedules are repeatedly used on certain times
and days of the week. These schedules remain active.
! One-Time schedules are those that are used only once
at a set on- and off-time and then automatically made
inactive by the system.
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. If the off-time is earlier than the
on-time, then the off-time is assumed to be for the next
For example, if a schedule on-time should vary with the
daily sunset time but the scheduled off-time should be
constant,then the scheduledaylight type is 6. Or, if the onand off-times should both track with the sunset and the
panel is in the Southern Hemisphere, the daylight t ype is

Any automatic actions (lights, devices, access codes) set to

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.
Controlling Lights Automatically

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.
