Introduction
Congratulations
on your purchase of an advanced NAPCO EXPRESS XP-400 Security System. Meticulously developed by a leading manufacturer of state-of-the-art security products, this system will provide you with unprecedented peace-of-mind & incorporates some of the mos t sophisticated features available today. Above all, it has been des igned an extra s tep, to provide all those operating it with very easy, intuitive use. Please carefully review the information contained in this manual, so that you and all potential users of the system familiarize yourselves with its operation, and can therefore take full advantage of EXPRESS’ many convenience features and amenities.
Your system
consists of a control panel (a computer housed within a white metal panel enclosure), one or m or e EX PRESS Decorator Keypads for controlling the system, and various security detection devices. These detection devices are divided among separate areas known as “zones”, set up throughout your premises. Each zone number corresponds to a Zone light on your Keypad’s gray display area.
When a zone’s red light is ON (or lit), it indic ates that one or m or e detec tion devic e(s ) ass igned to that area are ac tive or open. For example, if Zone 1 is the front door, and it is open, the Zone 1 light will be on. If zone 2 is a motion detec tor, and there is movement in that area, Zone light 2 will turn ON. Depending upon the ac tual layout your security professional has chosen to properly protect your premises, each zone may function a little differently: The zone protecting your front door may be programmed as an Exit/Entry zone to allow you time to enter the premises disarm the system , without inadvertently sounding the alarm. Alternatively, a zone protecting a window could be designated as an “instant” zone, so that if it is entered or opened while the system is on/armed, there will be an immediate alarm.
Your easy
NAPCO EXPRESS Keypad
puts super-simple system control at your fingertips.
Most keypad commands involve entering your four digit User Code. This includes Arming (or activating) and Dis arming (or deactivating) the system. Simply put, ARMED means the system is ON; DISARMED means the system is OFF. If the system is OFF and you want to turn it ON, just enter your Code. To turn the system back OFF, enter your code again.
It’s easy, just always remember, in the
event of an alarm, entering your User Code will silence all Sirens.
Your keypad is your command and status center, it keeps you informed visibly, using its zone and status lights (in the gray display area) and audibly, using its built-in k eypad sounder. For more information, please see Keypad Controls and Indicators on page 5.
