The Go!Control Security System
Congratulations on your ownership of a Go!Control 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 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,
remotely over the telephone, or over the Internet with Web access (if enabled
by your installer). The Control Panel displays helpful information regarding
the system and sensor status, system and alarm history, and trouble alerts.
Being fully “supervised”, the Go!Control 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 and door locks 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 automatically 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 (requires GSM cellular radio option).
❑ 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.
Messages
Your security system supports receiving messages from the Central Monitoring Station. The
messages can be about system upgrades, additional services, special regional weather alerts, etc.
Trouble Alerts
The system monitors itself for abnormal operating conditions and will alert you if trouble is detected.
Trouble conditions can be reported to the Central Monitoring Station.

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.

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.

perimeter sensors are closed. If any interior sensors are open (or when any motion detector is
triggered), a house icon is displayed on the green ARM button. Th e ARM button will be lit orange
if ANY perimeter sensor is 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.

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. Depending on programming,
manual bypasses can 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.
1. With one or more perimeter
sensors open, press ARM from
the Security or Menu Screen.
2. Press BYPASS ALL to force
bypass the open sensors (including
any open interior sensors).
3. Enter a User Code (unless “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 in Stay Mode
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 in Stay Mode
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 motion detectors). An alarm will also occur
if any sensor-protected door or window is opened or glass breakage is detected (if glass breakage
detectors are installed in your system).
Exit and Entry Delays in Away Mode
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.
Exit Delay Restart
The Exit Delay Restart* option will extend the Exit Delay one time if you need to re-enter the
premises. With the Exit Delay Restart option, re-entering the premises after you have left, but
before the Exit Delay timer expires, will restart the Exit Delay timer, giving you the full length of
time to leave again. The restart option only works once, each time the system is armed.
Silent Exit in Away Mode
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 it will double the
length of the Exit Delay. The option resets when the system is disarmed.
Quick Exit in Away Mode
A programmable option called “Quick Exit*” may be 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.
☞ 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.
* These options 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.

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.

Burglary Protection
If a Burglary Alarm Occurs
If an armed sensor is tripped while the system is armed in the Stay or Away Mode, an alarm will
occur and the siren will sound. Delayed sensors will start the Entry Delay to allow time to disarm
the system. Instant sensors trigger the alarm right away. Most sensors will trigger the alarm siren,
some sensors may be set to trigger a silent alarm without sounding the siren.
Burglary Alarm Siren
If there is a burglary alarm tripped while the system is armed, the Control Panel will sound the alarm
siren for a preset time (the time can be changed; see the Installer Set Options section of this manual).
After the time expires, the siren will stop sounding. The system can also be set by the installer to
allow one or two alarm cycles per sensor, per arming period. (Siren sounds are steady for burglary,
intermittent horn for fi re, and pulsed for CO detection.)
Alarm Memory
If an alarm has occurred while the system was armed, the Disarm Screen will show the time and date
of the alarm and the sensor(s) that triggered the alarm.
After the system is disarmed, the Alarm Memory screen will be displayed. The Alarm Memory Screen
shows the sensor(s) that have caused the alarm. If more than one sensor has been triggered, the
display will show the order that alarms occurred. The alarm memory will automatically clear
the next time the system is armed. You can also check the CLEAR ALARM HISTORY button and
press OK to manually clear the alarm memory (24-hour fi re and CO sensors that are still violated will
remain in alarm memory).

Optional 2-Way Voice Communications
2-way voice communications provides a method for alarm verifi cation and can provide emergency
assistance. The Control Panel contains a built-in microphone that can monitor sounds around the area
of the Control Panel. The built-in microphone and speaker allows 2-way voice communications with
a Central Station operator after an alarm. The operator can converse with people in the premises
through the Control Panel’s speaker and microphone.
Your installer can set the system to use 2-way voice communications after an alarm and/or after a
panic alarm is triggered.
✓ NOTE: If a panic alarm or sensor is set for a silent alarm, the operator will only be able
to listen and not be able to talk. This is for your protection.
