The GO!control Security System
Congratulations on your ownership of an APX Security System! This wireless
system offers protection for your property against burglary, protection for
yourself and family with 24-hour emergency monitoring, and optionally fi re
and carbon monoxide detection for your home.
The heart of the system is the Control Panel. It receives the wireless radio
signals from remote system “sensors” that monitor doors, windows, motion
detectors, smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and panic buttons.
The Control Panel processes these signals and controls the alarm siren. The
system can communicate to an alarm monitoring “Central Station” over the
regular telephone network and optionally over the cellular telephone network
to report violations, alarms, and system status.
The Control Panel is operated using its color touch screen display that shows
easy to identity buttons and icons. The system can be armed or disarmed
directly at the Control Panel, or by using optional key fob remote controls, or
remotely over the telephone. The Control Panel displays helpful information
regarding the system and sensor status, system and alarm history, and
trouble alerts.
Being fully “supervised”, the APX Security System continuously monitors
itself and its sensors. If an issue occurs, such as a low sensor battery, the
trouble alert will be displayed and logged by the Control Panel and optionally
reported to the Central Monitoring Station. This way, the trouble can be
addressed and corrected promptly, maintaining the integrity of the system.
With the system’s built-in Z-Wave home automation capability, you can
control your Z-Wave enabled household appliances from the Control Panel
or remotely from a PC and the Internet from anywhere in the world... even
through your cell phone! (This is an optional feature, check with your security
professional for availability with your system.)
Many insurance companies offer discounts on homeowners and renters
policies when a security system is installed. Discount credits vary with
different companies and generally increase in savings with an increase in the
level of protection. Ask your insurance agent about savings available to you.

System Overview
General Information
This system provides three forms of protection: burglary, fi re, and emergency,
depending on the options set by the installer. The system consists of the
Control Panel with a color touch screen, wireless sensors that provide
perimeter and interior burglary protection, and wireless smoke and carbon
monoxide detectors. In addition, optional remote control key fobs, wireless
panic pendants, and wireless keypads may have been provided or installed.
The system monitors all protection “zones” and the system’s status. It will
display monitoring information and control the alarm siren. Your system may
also have been setup to send alarm and status reports to a Central Monitoring
Station and has the capability for 2-way voice communications with the alarm
monitoring operator.
Features
Following is a list of standard features and options that can be included in
your system. Ask your installer which options are available to you and check
the boxes that apply.
STAY and AWAY arming modes. Stay Mode arms the system perimeter only and ✓
is used typically at night when the premises are occupied. Away Mode arms the
system perimeter and interior, it’s used when the premises are unoccupied.
Eight user unique 4-digit codes to operate the system. The system supports one ✓
“Master User Code” that can assign and maintain the other seven User Codes.
One of the eight User Codes functions as a Duress User Code. Controlling the system ✓
with this code gives the appearance of normal operation, but using it secretly sends a
“duress” report to the Central Monitoring Station to initiate a silent alarm call for help.
Voice announcements from the Control Panel. The system has a large vocabulary ✓
of descriptive words that can be assigned to sensors so each will have a unique
announcement such as “front door” or “baby’s room window” if desired.
Home automation with the built-in Z-Wave controller for remote ✓
controlling Z-Wave enabled home appliances (optional feature).
Alarm history with system event log. Each alarm and system alert is logged ✓
into the system’s memory. These events can be displayed and reviewed at
the Control Panel or remotely by the Central Monitoring Station.
Real time clock and calendar shows on the system’s display ✓
and is used to time stamp items in the event log.
2-way voice communication. After an alarm, the system can connect with a ❑
Central Station operator so they can converse with people in the premises.
Remote control of the system over the telephone. ❑
Remote control of the system using a Web-enabled device through the Internet. ❑
Three optional 24-hour emergency functions: PANIC, FIRE, and EMERGENCY. ❑
These functions can be activated by buttons on the Control Panel, using wireless
sensors, from the wireless keypad, or from portable pendant devices.

System Overview
General Operation
Following are general operational concepts that your system supports.
Understanding these concepts will help you to use your security system to
it fullest extent.
Sensor Types
The system’s wireless sensors have been assigned to selected “types”
(sometimes called “zones” in the alarm industry). The sensor type determines
how and when the system will react to a signal from the sensor. Some sensors
are armed 24 hours a day, other sensors are only armed when the system is
armed.
Fire Protection
If fi re protection wireless smoke detectors have been installed in your system,
they are armed 24 hours-a-day. They will sound an alarm when smoke is
detected and can report the fi re alarm to the Central Monitoring Station. Refer
to the Fire Alarm System section of this manual for important emergency
planning and evacuation information.
Burglary Protection
Burglary protection is provided by perimeter and interior sensors. When the
system is armed in the Away Mode, both perimeter and interior sensors are
armed and can trigger an alarm. When the system is armed in the Stay Mode,
only the perimeter sensors are armed and can trigger an alarm.
Both arming modes offer an “Exit Delay” that allows time to leave the
premises without triggering the alarm. Upon re-entry, the system offers an
“Entry Delay” through certain points of protection that allows you time to
disarm the system before an alarm is triggered.
Sensors can be set to sound a chime and/or a voice announcement when
they are triggered. So you can monitor your doors and windows while the
system is disarmed.
User Codes
The system installer has pre-programmed a Master User Code for your
system. This code can be used to control the system as well as assign and
change the other seven User Codes. The Master User Code can also access
several system setup settings in the User Toolbox.
Alarms
When an alarm occurs, the Control Panel’s siren and an external siren (if
installed) will sound for a preset time. During alarms and after disarming, the
alarm history button will display all the alarms that have occurred, and which
sensors were involved. The alarm history clears the next time the system is
armed or can be cleared manually.

Burglary Protection
Operating the System
When your system was setup by your installer, wireless sensors were placed to monitor specifi c
doors and windows. The installer selected these doors and windows as likely places where an
unlawful intrusion might occur and could be detected. Each sensor was programmed to have the
system react in a specifi c way.
Some sensor types such as smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, panic buttons, etc. are
always active and can trigger an alarm at any time. Other sensors on protected doors and windows
are part of the burglary protection part of the system, and can be turned on or off. Turning on the
burglary protection part of the security system is called “Arming the System”. The burglary
protection part of the system can be armed in two modes; Stay Mode or Away Mode.
Refer to the fl oor plan below. It shows a typical residential installation and the various types of
wireless sensors and their function.

Burglary Protection
Sensor Status
The security system constantly monitors all of the sensors attached to the protected doors and
windows in your home or business. The Control Panel knows if each protected door or window
is open or closed. The open or closed condition of the protected doors and windows is called the
“sensor status”.
For maximum security, all the doors and windows on the premises should be closed when leaving
the building. In some cases, such as when using the security system for protection when staying
at home, it may be desirable to leave some protected doors or windows open. The system uses
“bypasses” to resolve the open door or window conditions. Before the system can be armed, all
protected doors and windows must be closed or bypassed. Bypasses and their two types are
explained in detail on the next page.
Checking that All Sensors are Closed
In most cases, you will be arming the security system with all of the sensor-protected doors and
windows closed. The Control Panel provides several easy ways to verify that all the sensor-protected
doors and windows are closed before arming the system.
The•
button will light green if all sensors are closed. The button will not be lit if ANY
sensors are open.
The • SECURITY button on the display’s Home Screen will light green if all sensors are closed.
The SECURITY button will be lit orange if ANY sensors are open.
The • ARM button on the display’s Security Screen will light green if all sensors are closed. The
ARM button will be lit orange if ANY sensors are open.
The • ARM button on the display’s Menu Screen will light green if all sensors are closed. The ARM
button will be lit orange if ANY sensors are open.
Viewing Each Sensor’s Status
The Control Panel will also show you which sensor-protected doors and windows are open. Your
installer has programmed descriptive names for each sensor-protected door and window. The Control
Panel’s color display will show the names of which door and windows are open.
The top area of the display on the Home, Security, and Menu Screens will list any sensors that •
are currently open.
Pressing the • STATUS button will also display a list of all open sensors along with general system
status and alerts.

Burglary Protection
Sensor Bypassing
Before the system can be armed, all protected doors and windows must be closed or bypassed. The
system uses “bypasses” to resolve open sensors on protected doors or windows before arming the
system. When a sensor is bypassed, the system ignores that the door or window is open. There are
two types of sensor bypasses available: forced and manual.
In some cases (such as when using the security system for protection when staying at home) it may
be desirable to leave some sensor-protected doors or windows open. Temporarily bypassing a sensor
for this use is called “force bypassing”. Force bypasses are automatically removed when the
system is disarmed.
Sensor bypassing is also sometimes used when a sensor is requiring service. A sensor’s magnet
might be missing, or an external switch contact connected to a sensor might be faulty, causing
the sensor to be detected as “open” by the Control Panel. In these conditions, you may need to
schedule a service call with your qualifi ed alarm service technician to repair or replace the troubled
sensor. If the security system needs to be armed before the sensor can be serviced, the sensor can
be “manually bypassed” so the rest of the system can be armed. Manual bypasses remain in
place until they are manually removed.
☞ NOTE: Bypassed sensors offer no protection and cannot cause an alarm. Use bypass
if you want to arm your system with one or more sensors open and intentionally
unprotected.
Force Bypassing Sensors
If any sensors are open when the ARM button is pressed, the Control Panel will display the bypass
sensor screen. When the system is disarmed, the force bypassed sensors will be returned to normal.
With one or more sensors open, press 1.
ARM from the Security or Menu Screen.
Press 2. BYPASS ALL to force
bypass the open sensors.
Enter a User Code (unless 3. “Quick
Bypass” has been set by the
installer) to activate the bypass and
continue to the Arming Screen.

Stay Mode
Stay Mode is for arming the system when people will be staying on the premises. Stay Mode arms
the sensor-protected perimeter doors and windows while not arming the interior motion sensors or
other interior doors. This allows the premises to be occupied while the system is partially armed.
Stay Mode is used mostly for arming the system during the evening hours after everyone is inside
and no one is expected to enter or leave.
When the system is armed in Stay Mode, you can move about the premises without triggering the
burglary alarm. All the interior burglary protection is off. But, if a sensor-protected perimeter door or
window is opened, an alarm will occur.
Entry Delay
Certain sensors, such as the front door, can be setup by your installer to have a delay before triggering
an alarm. This provides a way for an authorized person returning to enter using a predetermined door
and disarm the system before an alarm is triggered. When arming the system in Stay Mode, an
“Entry Delay” option check box is shown on the Control Panel’s Arming Screen. Normally this option
check box is checked, so the programmed delay doors allow time for disarming the system after
the door is opened. Un-checking this option box removes the delayed alarm trigger from all sensorprotected doors programmed for delay, causing those entrances to instantly trigger the alarm if they
are opened in Stay Mode.
Quick Exit
A programmable option, called “Quick Exit” may be displayed on the Security Screen while the
system is armed in the Stay Mode. Pressing the Quick Exit button starts a timer to allow someone
to exit or enter through a sensor-protected door programmed for delay without having to disarm the
entire system. When the delay timer runs out, the system returns to the normal Stay Mode.
The Quick Exit option can be turned on or off by your installer, refer to the “Installer Set Options”
section of this manual to see which options have been set for your system.

Away Mode
Away Mode is for arming the system when everyone will be leaving the premises. Away Mode
arms all sensor-protected perimeter doors and windows, interior motion sensors, interior glass break
sensors, and any other sensor-protected interior doors. The premises must be unoccupied while the
system is armed. Away Mode is typically used for arming the system during the daytime hours in a
residential installation, and non-business hours in a commercial installation.
When the system is armed in Away Mode, you cannot move about the premises without triggering
the burglary alarm (if the system is installed with interior protection). An alarm will occur if any
sensor-protected door or window is opened, or interior motion or glass breakage is detected (if
motion or glass breakage detectors are installed in your system).
Exit and Entry Delays
Certain sensors, such as the front door, can be setup by your installer to have a delay before triggering
an alarm. This provides a way for an authorized person to exit and reenter the premises without
triggering an alarm. The “ Exit Delay” allows time to leave after arming the system. The “ Entry Delay”
allows time to disarm the system before an alarm is triggered.
When arming the system in Away Mode, an “Entry Delay” option check box is shown on the Control
Panel’s Arming Screen. Normally this option check box is checked, so the programmed delay doors
allow time for disarming the system after the door is opened. Un-checking this option box removes
the delayed alarm trigger from all sensor-protected doors programmed for delay, causing those
entrances to instantly trigger the alarm if they are opened in Away Mode. With the Entry Delay
disabled, the system will have to be remotely disarmed with a wireless key fob before entering.
Silent Exit
An option for silencing the exit delay beeps is also available when arming the system in Away Mode.
On the Control Panel’s Arming Screen, a “Silent Exit” option check box is shown. Checking this option
will stop the Control Panel from sounding beeps during the Exit Delay time and double the length of
the Exit Delay. The option resets when the system is disarmed.
Quick Exit
A programmable option, called “Quick Exit” may displayed on the Security Screen while the system
is armed in the Away Mode. Pressing the Quick Exit button starts a timer to allow someone to exit
or enter through a sensor-protected door programmed for delay without having to disarm the entire
system. When the delay timer runs out, the system returns to the normal Away Mode. This option
can be turned on or off by your installer, refer to the “Installer Set Options” section of this manual to
see which options have been set for your system.
☞ NOTE: If interior sensors are installed in the system in certain areas, do not violate
those sensors when using the Quick Exit feature in Away Mode.
Auto Stay Mode
The system may have been programmed by the installer for “Auto Stay Mode”. If this option is on
and the system is armed in Away Mode, if an exit/entry delay sensor is not triggered before the Exit
Delay expires (no one left the premises), the system automatically arms in Stay Mode instead of
Away Mode. Refer to the “Installer Set Options” section of this manual to see which options have
been set for your system.

Disarming the System
To stop the Control Panel from triggering burglary alarms, the system will need to be disarmed.
Disarming turns off the burglary detection part of the system for sensors that are not 24-hour sensors.
Disarming also stops any type of alarm in process.
The system should be disarmed from Stay Mode before exiting the premises. The system should be
disarmed from Away Mode before or while entering the premises. When disarming from the Control
Panel or wireless keypad, you will need to enter a valid User Code. A wireless key fob can also be used
to disarm the system. Entering a User Code is not required when disarming with a wireless key fob.
An important feature of the Control Panel is its ability to warn you if an alarm has occurred while
you were away. If an alarm was triggered while the system was armed, the alarm siren will run for
a preset length of time then stop. When you enter to disarm the system, instead of sounding the
normal Entry Delay beeps, the Control Panel will sound repeated fast beeps to warn you that alarm
has occurred while you were away.
WARNING: WHEN ENTERING THE PREMISES TO DISARM THE SYSTEM, IF YOU
HEAR FAST REPEATED BEEPS INSTEAD OF THE NORMAL ENTRY DELAY BEEPS,
USE EXTREME CAUTION!!! AN INTRUDER MAY STILL BE PRESENT INSIDE
THE BUILDING!!! WAIT OUTSIDE AND USE A CELL PHONE TO CALL A FRIEND,
NEIGHBOR, OR LAW ENFORCEMENT FOR ASSISTANCE.
