This manual describes how to operate your system. It describes basic arming and disarming commands as well as how to program system features.
The dealer or installer may have already discussed the details of your system with you. Record your system details in the User Sheets located in Appendix A.

Overview

Your security system is made up of different parts. Each plays a spe­cial role in the system operation.
3
Your system may also use wireless, handheld touchpads that can be carried from room to room.
Keychain touchpads are also wireless and are handy for simple arming and disarming functions. Keychain touchpads can be carried off-site.
The installer can program the keychain touchpad to send a Police or Auxiliary panic alarm.
The panel is at the heart of your system. It stores the intelligence to monitor all the sensors and devices in the system. The panel acti­vates sirens and initiates a call to the central station in an alarm situ­ation. Your panel will have either a steel or plastic enclosure.

This touchpad is called an alphanumeric touchpad and communi­cates by displaying text on a two-line display.
Wireless panic button touchpads are dedicated to sending one signal only—usually a Police or Auxil­iary panic alarm. Panic button touchpads are usually kept near the user.
Door and window sensors protect the perimeter of your home by alerting the panel when a door or window is opened.
Motion detectors in hallways or rooms detect a person moving across the field of detection.
Environmental sensors such as smoke and heat detectors remain alert for the presence of fire 24 hours a day.

COMMUNICATING WITH THE PANEL

Your system can be set up to communicate with you through
• Status beeps
•Alarm sirens
•Touchpad text

Instructing the Panel

Not just anyone can walk up to a touchpad and operate your secu­rity system. Before the system will process most commands, users are required to enter a pre-programmed 5-digit access code. Access codes are discussed in detail on page 10.
Keychain touchpads that are enrolled as part of the system do not require an access code, but are usually kept in an individual’s pocket or purse.
If you would rather use an actual key to arm and disarm the system, your security dealer can install a special key and keyswitch in your home.

How Your System Communicates with You

Touchpads and interior sirens produce a variety of operating beeps to inform you of different system states and operations.

Key Beeps

A “key beep” is the tone you hear when you press a button on a touchpad. The sound confirms that the button was pressed ade­quately. Key beeps can be turned on or off by the installer.

What Happens When There is an Alarm

In the event of an alarm, several things happen at once:
• Sirens and hardwired touchpads emit emergency tones.
• The panel notifies the central station for help (if your system is monitored).
• A message appears on fixed text or alphanumeric touchpads.

OPENING AND CLOSING REPORTS

The Opening and Closing Reports feature notifies the central sta­tion whenever the system is armed or disarmed.
The Opening and Closing Reports feature can be enabled only by the installer.
If the feature is on, the central station will receive the following reports:
• an Opening Report every time the system is disarmed.
•a Closing Report every time a user arms the system.

NO ACTIVITY FEATURE

The system can monitor the activity in your home and automati­cally call for help if normal activities are not detected within a defined period of time.

Status Beeps

Status beeps from touchpads or sirens sound when there is a change in the current status of the system. Status beeps are not alarms, but they do warrant your attention.
There is more than one type of Status beep:
• Exit Delay beeps indicate that an arming command has been entered and the countdown to arming has begun.
• Entry Delay beeps indicate that you’ve entered the building and the countdown to an alarm has begun. (So disarm the system as soon as you get in!)
• Trouble beeps tell you that there is a problem with the system or one of its components.
• Chime feature beeps tell you that a door or window was opened.
• Protest beeps inform you that you’re trying to arm the system while there is an open door or window.
• Sensor test beeps are the sound the system makes during a sen­sor test to indicate that a sensor was tested properly.
Status beeps are described in more detail throughout the manual.

FIRE AND SMOKE ALARMS

If your system contains smoke and fire sensors, it monitors the premises for smoke and fire alarms 24 hours a day and in all arm­ing levels.
These alarms cannot be cancelled or aborted and are always reported to the central station. Since many communities charge for dispatching the fire department in error, your dealer may give you specific instructions to follow in the event of an accidental
Note: This feature is not active in Level 3—AWAY.
For example, if someone falls and can’t move, the system will detect that normal activities, such as opening doors and windows, have not occurred for a predetermined No Activity time.
The system sounds an 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 no one disarms the system for 5 minutes, your system calls the central monitoring station. The central monitoring station will send emergency personnel to the premises to check out the sit­uation.
Refer to the Appendix A User Sheets to see if the No Activity fea­ture is currently avai lable to you and the duration of the No Activit y setting. If the feature is not currently available to you, contact your installer.
smoke or fire alarm. Record these instructions in the Appendix A User Sheets under “Accidental Smoke and Fire Alarms.”

Clearing Smoke Sensors

Once a smoke sensor is in alarm, it is considered “Open” or in “Trouble” until it is reset. For hard­wired smoke detectors:
•Press
•Press
1 + Code once to silence the alarm. 1 + Code again to reset the smoke alarm.

ARMING YOUR SYSTEM

Since your security needs may vary throughout the day, the system was designed with three arming levels. By arming your system to a particular level, only those sensors programmed to detect in that arming level will report alarms.
Level 1—OFF (DISARMED)
Use Level 1 when intrusion detection is not necessary. For exam­ple, on an active Saturday morning—kids playing inside and out, someone working in the garage, various house projects going on.
Even though Level 1 disarms the system, your system continues to monitor for fire, smoke, carbon monoxide, and panic alarms (if your system has these devices installed).

The Touchpad Tamper Feature

The installer can program your system to send a Police alarm in the case of possible touchpad tampering.
If more than 40 keys are pressed when the system asks for a code, and those keystrokes are not part of a valid access code, a siren will sound.
Here are some other situations in which you would set the system to Level 1—OFF (DISARMED):
Upon entering your armed home or business. When entering the armed premises through a designated delay door, the entry delay time begins. Entry Delay beeps remind you to disarm the system.
Before opening a door or window while inside or outside the armed home or business. When you wake up in the morning and want to get your newspaper, you must disarm the system before opening the door to prevent an accidental alarm.
(See the section on “Preventing Accidental Alarms” on page 6 if you would like to be able to leave quickly when the system is armed.)

QUICK ARM

Your system may be set up so that you’re able to arm the system without using an access code.
To use Quick Arm:
Increase the arming level by simply pressing at any touchpad.
Decreasing the arming level requires that the user enter a code.
2 or 3
To stop sirens and cancel an alarm. When an alarm condition occurs, disarming the system turns off any sirens.
To disarm to Level 1—OFF (DISARMED) using a touchpad:
1. Press

2. Enter your access code. Touchpads display date and time.

3. The system sounds one long beep.

1. Touchpads display “ENTER CODE.”

KEYCHAIN TOUCHPAD ARMING

To disarm your system with a keychain touchpad, press the Unlock button.
Your installer can set up your keychain touchpad to arm the system in one of two ways:

1. Press the Lock button to arm the system directly to Level 3 with no Entry or Exit delays. When using this method, you would not be able to arm to Level 2.

2. Press the Lock button to increase the arming level each time it is pressed (Level 1 to Level 2, or Level 2 to Level 3). The delay times would be applied.

Arming Level 2—HOME
There are times when you want intrusion protection but still want the freedom to move around within your house without setting off an alarm — for example, in the evening when your family is inside for the night. In this and similar situations, arm your system to 2—
HOME.

QUICK EXIT

Your system may be set up so that when your system is armed to Level 2—HOME, you’re able to press and simply walk out of the door without having to disarm and rearm the system. This is useful, for example, when your sys­tem is armed and you want to pop outside to pick up the newspaper without disarming your system. IMPORTANT: If you step outside and are planning to come back in, do not close the door behind you!
To use Quick Exit :
1. When the system is armed to 2—HOME, press touchpad. Opening the door without pressing will cause an alarm.
2. Open the door and go outside.
Leave the door open if you are planning to come back in!
3. Come back in within two minutes and close the door. The system will rearm to 2—HOME.

Arming Level 3—AWAY
At other times, you want every sensor to be alert: When the family is away from home, or, in a business, after closing time.
In this and similar situations, set your system to 3—AWAY for maxi­mum protection. All sensors are active—perimeter door and win­dow sensors, and interior motion detectors.
To arm to Level 3—AWAY using a touchpad:

1. Close all protected doors and windows.

USING THE CHIME FEATURE

Turning on the Chime feature is like having bells on every protected door and window. When this feature is on, sirens and speakers sound 2 beeps whenever anyone opens a protected door or win­dow.
The Chime feature works only in Level 1—OFF (DISARMED).
To t urn Ch ime on/off:
While in Level 1—OFF (DISARMED), from any touchpad, press
7 + 1.
While the Chime feature is on, the touchpad display alter­nates between “CHIME IS ON” and the time and date. When the Chime feature is off, only the time and date are displayed.
When the system is armed again, Chime becomes deactivated.
protected door or window. Refer to Appendix C, “Programming Menus” for information on programming your system.

PREVENTING ACCIDENTAL ALARMS

Your security system is engineered with advanced technology that reduces the chance of an accidental alarm caused by a technical problem. In wireless systems, this technology prevents other devices (such as garage door openers, ham radios, television remote controls, and cellular phones) from interfering with your security system.
Most accidental alarms occur when leaving the house after arming the system, or upon returning, before disarming the system.
If, for example, you arm the system then run upstairs for something you forgot, the Exit Delay time may expire. Once the Exit Delay expires, opening an armed door or moving in front of a motion detector will cause an alarm.

Aborting Accidental Alarms

Your system can be set up with the opportunity to abort an acci­dental intrusion, Police, or Auxiliary alarm. (Fire alarms caused by smoke sensors, fire panic alarms, and heat sensors cannot be aborted.)
If the Dialer Abort feature is turned on, disarming the system (thus aborting the alarm) within a specified time period will silence the siren and prevent the alarm from being reported to the central monitoring station.
Aborting a fire alarm will silence the siren; however, fire alarms are always reported. If an accidental fire alarm has sounded, follow the procedures of your central monitoring station to prevent a false dis­patch.
To cancel an alarm:
•Press
1 + Code.

Chime-On-Close

The Chime-On-Close feature works like the regular Chime feature, but in addition to the double beeps heard upon opening a pro­tected door or window, the system sounds one long beep when the door or window is closed again.
You can turn the Chime-On-Close feature on or off from the pro­gramming menu. Refer to Appendix C, “Programming Menus” for information on programming your system.

Using the Voice Chime Feature

If you have a Phone Interface/Voice module and the installer wired speakers to the module outputs, you can program your system to speak the programmed sensor text whenever someone opens a
Guidelines for Preventing Accidental Alarms
A y 3 s

7
The interior sirens and touchpads sound three quick status beeps, telling you that the system accepted the command and has started the Exit Delay time.
Following these guidelines will go a long way toward pre­venting accidental alarms.
3 Close doors and windows before you leave your
house.
3 When getting ready to leave the house, gather the
things you want to take with you so you can exit imme­diately after arming the system.
3 Always enter and exit within the programmed delay
times.
3 Make sure you leave through a door that has a delay
time set for it. If you arm your system then leave through a door without a delay time, an alarm will immediately sound.
3 When you return, immediately disarm your system.
3 Be aware of the devices in your security system and
learn how each one operates.
3 Listen to system beeps. Take note of any touchpad
messages which indicate the current system status.
3 If you have pets, ask your installer if you need pet
lenses in your motion detectors. Pets climb higher than you may guess, causing alarms when you are away.
3 Check the location of your smoke detectors. Smoke
detectors near bathrooms can be tripped by steam from a shower. Smoke detectors near the kitchen can be tripped by cooking smoke.
Refer to the User Sheet in Appendix A to determine what the specific settings are for your system.
During the Exit Delay time, the system sounds one short beep every 4 seconds. During the last seconds of the delay time, the beeps will accelerate to one per second. Exit the premises immedi­ately.
At the end of the Exit Delay, you’ll hear three more quick status beeps. These beeps indicate that the Exit Delay has ended.
Important!
When the Exit Delay expires, the system is armed. Opening a door at this point will cause the entry delay to start. If the Exit Delay time expires before you can exit, you must disarm and re-arm the system before exiting.

Entry Delay Example

You are returning to your house that is armed to Level 3—AWAY. When you unlock and enter the designated delay door, the interior sirens and touchpads sound two short beeps every two seconds. This tells you that the Entry Delay time has begun and reminds you to disarm the system to avoid setting off an alarm.
During the last 10 seconds of Entry Delay, you’ll hear the double­beeps every second. If the system is not disarmed before the Entry Delay time expires, the panel will trigger an alarm.
Your installer will work with you to decide which door(s) should be a delay door(s) and determine the delay times that will work best for you and your family. Then, the installer will program the Exit and Entry Delay times into your system.

building so you won’t set off an alarm. Likewise, upon returning to your home or business, you’ll need enough time to open the door and get to a touchpad to disarm the system.
•The Exit Delay is a period of time long enough to let you leave through a designated delay door after arming the system.
•The Entry Delay is a period of time long enough to let you unlock a designated delay door and get to a touchpad to disarm the sys­tem.

Extended Delay

In some situations, additional time is needed to arm or disarm the system from, for example, a protected out­side gate or door. In these instances, the installer can program an extended delay, giving as much as 16 minutes to exit or disarm the system before setting off an alarm.
Refer to the Appendix A User Sheets “Delay Doors and Delay Time Settings” for a list of actual exit delay times.

Exit Delay Example

You’re about to go on an errand. You are inside your house and have just armed the system to Level 3—AWAY.

Exit Extension

Your system may be set up so that the delay time is restarted if you re-open the delay door during the initial delay time.
8
This is useful if, after arming the system, you walk out the door, then remember something you forgot inside. You can re-enter and exit through the delay door without disarming and re-arming the sys­tem.
Note: The Exit Extension will work on the first re-entry only.
If your system is not using this feature, you must disarm the system when you re-enter the armed premises to avoid setting off an alarm.
No Delay—For Instant Alarm
You can choose to turn off the Entry and Exit Delays, causing the delay doors to arm immediately. Anyone entering the house through the delay door when the system is set to No Delay would immediately cause an alarm.
No Delay is normally used...
• When you’re not planning to leave after you’ve armed the sys­tem (such as when you arm the system to Level 2).
• When you’re arming and disarming your house from the outside. (You must have a wireless touchpad in order to do this.)
Arming to Level 2 or 3 with No Delay:

1. Close all perimeter doors and windows.

2. Exit the premises if arming to Level 3—AWAY.
3. Enter:
4. Immediately after hearing the beeps, press
Changing the arming level will restore delay doors to their normal Exit and Entry Delay times.

Auto HOME Arming Feature

The Auto HOME Arming feature helps cut down on false alarms in the event that you arm the system to 3—AWAY, but fail to leave during the exit delay time. Here’s how it works.

closed a delay door within the delay time. It assumes that someone is still inside and the panel will arm to 2—HOME to avoid a false alarm.
The system arms to Level 3—AWAY regardless of whether or not a delay door has been opened and closed.
Your movement inside the premises could acti­vate a motion detector, causing an alarm.
ARMING WHILE A DOOR OR W
INDOW IS OPEN
It is possible to arm your system while leaving a door or window open, but your user code must have the Direct Bypassing attribute. (See “Assign­ing the Direct Bypassing Attribute” on page 11.)
This is useful if, for example, you like to sleep at night with the window open.
If the door or window has a sensor installed on it, the system must be told to ignore, or bypass, that sensor when it’s open. All other sensors will remain active.
There are two methods for bypassing a sensor:
Directly — After arming the system, bypass door/window sensors
before you open them. You must know the sensor number of the door or window you wish to bypass.
Indirectly — As you are arming, bypass sensors on already-open
doors and windows by pressing the BYPASS button and entering your 5-digit code.
REMEMBER:
When a sensor is bypassed, you are allowing that door or window to be unprotected.

Bypassing a Sensor Directly

Use this method if the system is armed and you would like to open a window without disarming.
Note: You cannot bypass sensors directly using a
keychain touchpad.
Refer to the Appendix A User Sheets to determine what the sensor number is for the sensor you wish to bypass.
To bypass sensors directly:

1. Close all doors and windows.

2. Arm your system to the desired level.

3. At any touchpad, press (
ƒ is labeled Bypass)

4. Touchpads display “SENSOR 01 BYPASSED,” for example.

Note: If the touchpad displays “INVALID,” or if the touchpad
sounds one long beep, make sure that you entered the sen­sor number of a door or window sensor. Heat and smoke sensors cannot be bypassed, so entering a heat or smoke sensor number would cause the “invalid” message and beep.

5. Bypass other sensors, if necessary, by repeating Step 3.

6. The bypassed door or window can now be opened.

ƒ + Code + sensor number.

Bypassing a Sensor Indirectly

Use this method if you are arming the system and would like to bypass doors and windows already open.

To bypass sensors indirectly:

1. Leave open only those doors and windows that are to remain open. Close all others.

2. Arm your system to the desired level. The touchpad emits protest beeps and displays “PROTEST” because of the open sensor(s).

3. At any touchpad press BYPASS. Touchpads with d ispl ays show, “ENTER CODE.” Enter the code and the display shows “SENSOR NN BYPASSED” (nn is the sensor number).

4. The system sounds arming level beeps to indicate that the system is armed and open sensors have been successfully bypassed.

To bypass sensors indirectly using a keychain touchpad:
Press the Lock button once to arm the system and again to bypass open sensors.

is labeled Status.)
Touchpads with displays list bypassed sensors or zones.
For system lights to respond to basic and advanced light com­mands, the light switches must be turned on.

BASIC OUTPUT CONTROL

Panel output points control the hardware installed on your system. These outputs are usually configured to turn on automatically in response to certain events.
Your installer may have configured your system so that you can control some output points from your touchpad. Have the installer list and explain any outputs that are programmed for your control (see “Output Control” on page 23). Use the following procedure to turn an output on or off.
To turn the output on or off:
From any touchpad, press output was activated, it will shut off. If the output was off, it will activate.

CHECKING THE STATUS OF YOUR SYSTEM

Checking the system status means finding out about the current condition of your system. This includes finding out if any sensors are open or currently bypassed, whether or not the AC power and backup battery are okay, the nature of the most recent alarm, and more depending on the features in use and the equipment in your system.
Check the system status if

BASIC LIGHT CONTROL

There are two kinds of light control:
Basic light control, offering instant light control at any touchpad.
Advanced light control, in which lights turn on and off automati­cally according to specific situations. See “Advanced Light Con­trol” on page 14.
To t urn all lights on or off:
From any touchpad
Press
0 + 0.
From a 4-button keychain touchpad
Press (the LIGHTS button).
To t urn a specific light on or off*:
From any touchpad, press 0 + light number.
You cannot turn on a specific light using a keychain touchpad.
* Refer to the User Sheets in Appendix A to determine which light
number is associated with which lamp.
• Your system sounds trouble beeps (five short beeps every minute).
• Your touchpads display a blinking .

Short System Status

A Short Status indicates the current arming level, sensor status (whether open or bypassed), low battery, supervisory, AC power or backup battery failures.
To get a Short System Status:
•Press
If an alarm or system trouble condition has occurred, it is displayed on a touchpad the first time you perform a Short or Full Status check. Performing a system status check a second time displays the system status including any trouble conditions.
If any alarm or system trouble is active, it continues to show up in every status check until the system is disarmed.
. ( is labeled Status.)
The system sounds beeps according to the current arming level. (One for Level 1, two for Level 2, three for Level 3.) Touchpads display the status information. For example, “SYSTEM IS OK,” or “SENSOR 02 OPEN.”

current arming level. Touchpads display the status informa­tion, such as “SENSOR 03 BYPASSED,” “SYSTEM BATTERY IS OK,” “AC POWER IS OK.”

System Alarm Sounds

The sirens and touchpads in your system emit alarm sounds when­ever an alarm occurs, either by a sensor or panic button activation. Each type of alarm sounds and reacts differently when activated, as described in the following table.
Type of Alarm Alarm Sound
Fire
Police
Auxiliary
Repeating series of three beeps
Continuous tone
Rapid beeps
Press and hold the Lock and Unlock buttons at the same time for 2 seconds.
* The installer must configure the Police panic alarm to
work this way.

Auxiliary Panic Alarm

The Auxiliary panic alarm sounds from interior sirens only. It is typi­cally set up by your security dealer, based on your specific needs. On monitored systems, the central station responds by calling the service or agency you specified through your dealer.
To activate an Auxiliary panic alarm from a touchpad:
Press and hold the Auxiliary button(s) for 2 seconds.
To send an Auxiliary panic alarm from a keychain touchpad:
Press and hold the Light and Star buttons at
the same time for 2 seconds.

Siren Time-out

If the system is not disarmed after an alarm, the sirens will continue to sound until the time-out period is reached. The time-out period can be programmed only by your installer or dealer.

PANIC ALARMS

Panic alarms are easily activated from any touchpad to quickly alert the central monitoring station to a Fire, Police, or Auxiliary emer­gency. A panic alarm can be activated at any time, regardless of the current arming level: 1—OFF (DISARMED), 2—HOME, or 3—AWAY.
This system is designed to inform a central monitoring station of the nature of the emergency so the correct personnel can be dis­patched immediately.

Fire Panic

The Fire panic alarm sounds from all interior and exterior sirens. On monitored systems, the central monitoring station responds by call­ing the fire department.
To activate a Fire panic alarm from a touchpad:
Press and hold the Fire button for 2 seconds.

Police Panic Alarm

The Police panic alarm sounds from all interior and exterior sirens, scaring off any intruder and alerting neighbors to the trouble. On monitored systems, the central monitoring station responds by call­ing the police.
To activate a Police panic alarm using a touchpad:
Press and hold the Police button(s) for 2 seconds.
To activate a Police panic alarm from a keychain touchpad*:
Note: I f yo ur s ystem is mon ito red , th e central station will consider
the alarm in progress until the system is manually disarmed, whether the sirens have timed out or not.

ACCESS CODES

The system requires a valid access code before it will process most commands. The Appendix A User Sheets provide a location for you to record the System Master and User codes.

System Master Code

There is one System Master code. The System Master code is used to enter the programming menus for your system. The default Sys­tem Master code is default code and record the new code in the Appendix A User Sheets.

Partition Master Codes

There are two Partition Master codes, one for each partition, that allow access to system operations for that partition.

Regular User Codes

There are 43 Regular User codes that act like keys to arm and dis­arm one partition of the system. If necessary, they can be assigned to neighbors, baby-sitters, or repair persons for temporary use. Reg­ular user codes can be changed in the programming menus and are easily deleted from the system when no longer necessary.
Note: Any user who is assigned the Partition Jump attribute will
