Advent® Home Navigator System
Welcome
Thank you for selecting the Advent Hom e Navig ato r secu -
rity system! This system is designed to detect and respon d
to various security related conditions such as door/window
sensor activation, smoke/heat detector activation, and oth-
ers.
The system is simple and 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 us er and makes
the information in the manual complete and easy to follow.
Advent is a tremendous, user-friendly system designed to
simplify your life while providing the optimum in auto-
mated security protection.
System Features
Your security system provides several options for creating
the security and control environment you need in your
home. How you use the system is up to you. Regardle ss 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 fea-
tures, here are just a few of the ways you can use the spe-
cial features of your security system.
1RWH
Some features of this security system are optional and
are available from your security consultant.
Automatic Lighting Control
You can control lights inside and outside of your home by
plugging them into wireless devices called lamp modules.
These lights can then be turned on and off using either the
system touchpads or your home 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.
Automatic Device (Appliance) Control
You can control the appliances inside and outside of your
home by plugging them into wireless appliance modules.
For example, the system can be programmed to automati-
cally turn your coffee pot or other appliance on and off
with a schedule.
Courtesy Features
The buttons on your hardwire touchpads light up when
you first push a button and stay on for 15 second s after the
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 and dim the l i ght to darken a
touchpad in a bedroom while someone is sleeping. You
can also 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 sys-
tem can be used to protect separ ate areas such as duplex or
quad homes, with each area having its own touchpad, sen-
sors, sirens and so forth. Your home system can operate
with up to 4 or 8 (depending on model) separate partitions.
Areas
Choose whether or not to treat partitions as areas. If treated
as areas:
q Zones, touchpads, schedules, programming options,
etc., belong to areas instead of partitions.
q Users may “jump” from one area to another area using
an alphanumeric touchpad.
q The word “partition” will be changed to “area” wher-
ever it is spoken, displayed, or printed.
q 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 d i f f erently. 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 home but do not send a call for
help. The following are some of the useful ways you can
use various sensor types in your home.
q Monitor “Off-Limits” Areas of the Premises - Many
areas in your home can be hazardous to children.
Using local-only sensors, you can monitor certain
areas such as liquor, gun, and medicine cabinets and
even your swimming pool. If the pool gate or moni-
tored cabinet door is opened, a siren beeps. The beep-
ing stops when the gate or door is closed. You can also
use this sensor type to alert you to cars approaching
your home from the driveway, to monitor your mail-
box so you know when the mail arrives, and as a wir e-
less doorbell.
q 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 (depend-
ing 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, addi-
tional people can be notified.
If your home has a security gate covering the front
door and windows, yo u may cho ose to pu t a sen sor on
the gate to sound a local siren if someone shakes the
gate to scare them away but not to call the central sta-
tion. If the intruder continues to break in, other sen-

Advent® Home Navigator System
sors protecting the front doo r and windows woul d call
the central monitoring station.
q 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 house, but not allow an intruder to sneak
in behind you. You may want a short delay on the
door leading from the garage to the house 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 medical—that call for help
immediately. They are activated by pressing the appropri-
ate 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
in your home 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 win-
dows, 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 sys-
tem calls for help. Refer to Appendix A, “Planning for
Emergencies” for emergency planning details.
Using the System When You’re Away
Off-site operations using any T ouch-Tone telephone allow
you to control and monitor most of your system features
even while you are away from your home. If you are on
vacation, for example, 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 a neighbor, delivery
person, or service person.
System Information
You may have ins talled this security system simply to pre-
vent break-ins and theft and t o detect f i res. H owever, your
new security system can alert you to many other emergen-
cies. Plus, this security system lets you monitor and con-
trol conditions in your home or business even when you
are away.
To effectively use your security system, you need to
develop a few simple habits:
q Check for open doors and windows before leaving.
q Remember to gather your things and then arm your
system and exit before the exit delay time expires.
q Remember to disarm your system within the entry
delay time when you return.
q 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 simple
habits bring you and help you incorporate your security
system seamlessly into your everyday life.
Using the Touchpad Buttons
The touchpad is the primary way to manually operate the
system or partition. Table 1 contains a list of the buttons
and what they do.

Advent® Home Navigator System
1RWH
Police and Fire alarm voice messages are optionally at
full volume. Auxiliary and m edical 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 parti-
tions/areas. When a touchpad is redirected to a new parti-
tion/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 cod e may be programmed in mo re than
one partition/area, with each instance of the code repre-
senting a unique user number. The panel does not allo w
the user to add a duplicate code within a partition/area,
globally, or a user code which is equal to the installer code.
Area Jumping
Normally, an Advent panel has partitions and no areas.
Y our 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 time 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, program-
mable time, (default 10 seconds), starts. When this timer
expires, the touchpad jumps back to its original area auto-
matically.
To jump between areas :
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:
q Arming status of all enabled areas.
q Whether any alarms are active in any enabled area.
q Whether a battery test, LED test, or download is in
progress.
q All current system or area troubles.
q Status of main power, main battery, and main phone
line.
To view global status:
Selecting global history allows the user to view the com-
plete contents of the event history buffer, i.e. system
events and events from all areas.
To view global history:
Access Codes
The system access codes are used to limit certain system
operations to authorized personnel. Access codes are pro-
grammable and are from four to six digits long. The sys-
tem will indicate if and when an access code is required to
perform any desired function. When
ENTER YOUR CODE is dis-
played, enter the access code using the touchpad buttons.
The system automatically has one access code for the pri-
mary 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.
1RWH
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 aut om atically 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

Advent® Home Navigator System
To set an authority level for an exis ting access code:
User Text
Each access code can have up to 20 characters of user text
assigned to it. This text is used when listing codes and
when identifying a user during event printing. User text
uses the same display tokens as static display text (see
T able 3) except that special tokens, such as time, date, and
flashing *, are not allowed.
When using user text you need to enter the whole string
before pressing #.
To change user text:
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 parti-
tions/areas are disarmed), gain remote access, do phone
test, do installer zone test, initiate a downloader call,
review status and event his t ory, control lights and de vices,
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 every-
thing except enter program mode, do installer zone test,
initiate a downloader call. Primary codes are permanent.
Full Authority -
Can do everything the primary user can do
except add/delete/change/list codes of equal or higher author-
ity.
Authority 1 to 8 - Configurable authorities. In general,
authority 1 should be the highest of the configurable authori-
ties and authority 8 the lowest.
Authority Level Definitions
The three pre-defined and eight 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
INVALID AUTHORITY.
