INTRODUCTION

The Command Center is a “smart” user-friendly, menu-driven keypad designed for your Security control panel. The keypad is interactive, its alphanumeric screen will not only display the status of your system, but will also give you stepby-step instructions to guide you through all operations.

This booklet contains important information about the operation of your system with this Command Center Keypad. Read it carefully and keep it

handy for future reference. Check the Glossary for an explanation of terms that may be unfamiliar to you.

You'll probably find subjects mentioned in this booklet that do not apply to your system. Napco control panels have such a wide variety of features that few security systems, if any, will ever need them all. Your alarm professional has chosen appropriate features for your particular needs.

IMPORTANT - TEST YOUR SYSTEM WEEKLY

Regardless of how your system has been configured, rest assured that it has been carefully designed and engineered to the highest industry standards. To assure optimum safety and security, familiarize yourself with this equipment. Periodically check its condition and state of readiness by testing it at least once a week in both the ac/battery and battery-only modes (ask your alarm professional how to make these tests).

Automatic Interior Bypass

Your system may have been programmed for Automatic Interior Bypass, which allows it to recognize that you have armed the system and remained in the house, prompting it to automatically adjust the interior protection accordingly.

If you arm the system and remain in the house, all Interior Zones are automatically bypassed. The keypad will display “BYPASSED” indicating that it is safe to move about.

Easy Exit

Your system may have been programmed for Easy Exit, which allows a user to exit the premises while the system is armed. By activating Easy Exit while the system is armed, the Exit Delay countdown will take place, during which time you are permitted to leave through the exit door. The Easy Exit Delay time will be identical to the Exit Delay time the system gives you each time it is armed. This will allow, for example, an early morning commuter to exit the house, without having to disarm and rearm the system, awaking the family.

If a fire is in progress, evacuate the premises immediately! If necessary, call the

Fire Department from an outside phone. Press the C button to silence the keypad sounder.

If there is no evidence of a fire, enter your User Code and press D to turn off the

FIRE PROTECTION

Preparing a Fire Escape Plan

Even with the most advanced fire alarm system, adequate protection requires an escape plan.

To prepare your plan, draw floor plans of your building. (Space is provided on the next page). Show two exits - a front or back door and a window from each room. (Make sure the window works. You may need a special fire-escape ladder if the window is high up). Write down your outside meeting place.

Family Rehearsal. Rehearse each of the following activities:

1. Everyone in his room with the doors closed.

2. One person sounds the alarm.

3. Each person tests his door.

4. Pretend the door is hot and use the alternate escape exit.

5. Everyone meets outdoors at the assigned spot.

Important! - Read Carefully

Discuss these escape procedures with all

those who use the building:

1. In a residence, sleep with the bedroom door closed. A closed door will hold back deadly smoke while you escape.

2. When the fire alarm signals, escape quickly. Do not stop to pack.

3. Test the door. If it is hot, use your alternate route through the window. If the door is cool, brace your shoulder

against it and open it cautiously. Be ready to slam the door if smoke or heat rushes in. Crawl through smoke, holding your breath. Close the doors again on leaving to help prevent the fire from spreading.

4. Go to your specific outdoor meeting place so you can see that everyone is safe.

5. Assign someone to make sure nobody returns to the burning building.

6. Call the Fire Department from a neighbor's telephone.
