TEST MODE
• Even though this is a self-monitoring supervised system, the National Burglar and Fire Alarm
Association recommends that all security systems should be tested manually on a regular basis.
• The Console must be in Off Mode before going to Test Mode.
• Switch the Console into Test Mode by entering a user code and pressing [
TEST
].
• When the system is switched to the Test Mode, the Console will sound a “Gong” and four “Beeps”.
• Holding down the [
] button will light all of the Console’s indicators.
TEST
• The sensor status lights will flash for each sensor programmed into the Console.
• Go to each sensor and press its test button or open and close the protected opening.
• To test the wireless keypad, press the [
(A)
] key.
• The Console will make a “bing” sound as each sensor is tested.
• As each sensor is tested, the sensor status light for the sensor will stop flashing and return to showing
the current status of the sensor.
• Continue testing until there are no flashing status lights.
➤ NOTE: If the Console is left unattended in Test Mode, it will automatically switch back to Off
Mode after 3 minutes.

SYSTEM TROUBLE INDICATIONS
• The DVS-2400 Console is a self-monitoring supervised wireless system.
• If the Console detects a problem with any of the supervised system sensors or backup battery, it
will display the appropriate trouble indication and, if monitored, report the trouble to the Central
Station through the communicator (depending on communicator programming).
CONSOLE LOW BATTERY
• The Console constantly charges and monitors the optional backup battery (if installed).
• If the backup battery condition is abnormal, the Console’s POWER light will indicate the
trouble.
• The POWER indicator normally glows when AC power is on.
• With a charged backup battery installed, if the Console looses AC power, the POWER
indicator will dim as the Console runs on the backup battery.
• If the backup battery is low, recharging, or not installed, the POWER indicator blinks when
AC power is present.
• If the AC power is off and no backup battery is installed, the POWER indicator will be off (in
this case the system has no power and is disabled).
• Normal battery life for the type of backup battery used in the Console is 5-7 years. If the
battery does not take a charge in 72 hours, it should be replaced.
SENSOR LOW BATTERIES
• When the BATTERIES indicator on the Console blinks, one or more sensors have a low
battery.
• Press [∗] for one second to view sensor status. Sensor status indicator for any sensor with a
low battery will light along with the BATTERIES indicator. Any trouble indications will follow
during the five second status cycle.
• Replace the sensor’s battery as described in their instructions.
• Switch to Test Mode after replacing the sensor battery and completely test the system (see
Test Mode). Switching to Test Mode clears the low battery indication.
SENSOR RADIO TROUBLE
• When the TROUBLE indicator blinks, one or more sensors have not reported status during
the eight hour status time window.
• Press [∗] for one second to view sensor status. The sensor status indicator for any sensor
that has not reported in will light along with the TROUBLE indicator. Any low battery
indications will follow during the five second status cycle.
• Switch to Test Mode after servicing the sensor and completely test the system (see Test
Mode). Switching to Test Mode clears the trouble indication.

HOME MODE
• Use this mode when sleeping or when anyone is staying inside.
• Home Mode causes an instant alarm when any perimeter sensor is triggered.
• Home Mode causes a delayed alarm when any exit/entry sensor is triggered (except in Home Instant
Mode when they are instant).
• Alarm siren stops automatically after five minutes and the system will remain armed.
• Home Mode ignores all interior sensors (motion detectors, etc.).
• Arm to Home Mode by entering a user code, then press [
• You can “Quick Arm” to Home Mode from Off or Chime Mode by holding down [HOME] for two
seconds.
• When the system is armed to the Home Mode, the Console will sound a “Gong” and two “Beeps”.

siren.
• If an alarm has occurred, multiple beeps will sound after disarming and the sensor light for the
sensor(s) that caused the alarm will flash (switch to Off Mode again to stop flashing alarm m e mory
light).
➤ CAUTION: MULTIPLE BEEPS WHEN DISARMING SIGNAL THAT AN ALARM HAS
OCCURRED. USE CAUTION, AN INTRUDER MAY STILL BE PRESENT.
SECURE EXIT
• If the system is already in the Home Mode and you want to exit the premises while leaving
someone inside with the system still armed in Home Mode, enter a user code and press
[
].
HOME
• A “gong” and two “beeps” will sound and the HOME light will blink for 30 seconds. No exit
delay beeps will sound during the silent Exit Delay.
• You can leave through a door with a delayed perimeter sensor during the 30 second Exit
Delay without causing the Console to begin an Entry Delay.
HOME INSTANT MODE
• If the system is already in the Home Mode and you want to make all exit/entry sensors
instant, press [
• A “gong” and two “beeps” will sound and the HOME light will blink continuously.
• Because all exit/entry sensors will now cause an instant alarm when in Home Mode, the
Console must be disarmed before opening any exit/entry delay door.
MANUAL BYPASSING OF SENSORS
• Manual bypassing of sensors in the Home Mode allows you to arm the system at night with
open windows, while still having perimeter protection with other closed doors and windows.
• The Console will resist arming with open door or window sensors.
• Four high-low beeps will sound to warn you that something is open and the system will
remain in the previous mode.
• Lit sensor status indicators will show which sensors are open.
• To manually bypass the open sensors, arm the system again within 5 seconds.
• A “gong” and two “beeps” will sound, the HOME indicator will light, and the open sensors will
be bypassed.

• When the system is armed to the Away Mode, the Console will sound a “Gong” and three
“Beeps”.
• During the Exit Delay, the Console will sound “beeps” and the AWAY light will blink.
• The Exit Delay gives you time to leave the premises
triggering an alarm.
• When the Exit Delay is over, the Console will sound one “gong” to warn you that the system
is fully armed.
ENTRY DELAY (For Entering the Premises)
• The Entry Delay gives you time to enter the premises
triggering an alarm.
• If an exit/entry sensor is triggered, starting the Entry Delay, the interior sensors will also
become delayed (this allows motion in the premises during the Entry Delay).
• During the Entry Delay, the Console will sound “beeps”.
• When the Entry Delay is over, the Console will go into full alarm and sound the siren if it is
not disarmed to the Off or Chime Mode.
• If an alarm has occurred while you were gone, multiple beeps will sound after disarming and
the sensor light for the sensor(s) that caused the alarm will flash (switch to Off Mode again to
stop flashing alarm memory light).
