Sentrol Z900 User Manual
Thank
YOU
for choosing the 2900 Security control. When properly installed and maintained, the system will provide years of reliable operation. It
should be noted however, that no security system provides total protection over
life or property. The following is a list of precautions that should be adhered
to:
Please read this manual entirely and keep it in a secure place. If you have any
1.
questions, contact your security representative right away.
The system must be tested at least once per week to ensure proper operation. Contact
2.
your security representative for testing procedures and to schedule a regular maintenance program.
If the system is malfunctioning, have service performed as soon as possible and only
by qualified professionals.
If alterations are made to the building’s electrical system, be sure that changes are not
made that could affect uninterruptable power to the control panel.
If service is performed to the telephone system, test the system to be sure that
communication to the central station is not interfered with.
No security system can detect intrusion or other emergency conditions in all
circumstances. Be sure to have your security representative instruct you on areas of
vulnerability and recommendations for future upgrades to the system.
Motion detectors are designed to detect specific types of motion within a defined area.
I.
Intruders cannot be detected in obstructed areas such as behind walls and closed doors.
Be sure that you fully understand exactly what areas are and are not protected and under
what conditions (temperature and time variations, etc.).
8.
Smoke detection devices cannot detect all types of fire, nor do they perform under
circumstances. Have your security representative explain the limitations of the fire
system to you and your family. Have smoke detectors cleaned and tested on a regular
basis.
Security systems rely upon AC as a primary power source. When AC fails, the control
9.
will be powered by a standby battery. For this reason, the standby battery should be
checked and replaced by a qualified service technician at regular intervals.
The system is capable of being armed with AC power absent. The system could then
10.
fail if the battery voltage falls below the acceptable range, before AC power is restored.
It should be noted that it is possible to arm the system with the standby battery
disconnected.
11.
If the control station “Trouble” light is ever on, contact your security representative
immediately to determine the nature of the “Trouble” condition.
If upon returning to the building it is discovered that an alarm has occurred, DO NOT
12.
ENTER THE PREMISES. Get to the nearest telephone immediately and contact the
proper authorities.
13.
Be sure to inform your neighbors that a security system has been installed. Also explain
the meanings of the various audible signals and ask them to contact the appropriate
authorities upon activation of an alarm.
U.L. requires audible burglar alarms to be provided by a bell and fire alarms to be
14.
provided with a horn. For combination burglar and fire alarm systems, the sounder will
emit a steady tone for fire alarms and a pulsing tone for burglar alarms. The fire alarm
signal takes priority over the burglar bell.
U.L. Requirements: Exit time may not exceed 60 seconds. Entrance time may not
15.
exceed 45 seconds. Cut-off time for siren/bell cannot be less than 4 minutes.
Your system is programmed as follows:

ARMING
Before the control can be armed, all of the intrusion zones must be secure as
indicated by the green READY indicator. If the READY indicator is off, one or
more zones are faulted. The indicator(s) corresponding to the faulted zone(s) will
light. Use the pull out zone I.D. card on the control station to determine the areas of
protection which are assigned to each of the six (6) zones, thencheckthe appropriate
doors and windows to see that they are closed.

4. Leave the building immediately.
The control is programmed with an exit delay time which allows a specific amount
of time to leave through any delay defined intrusion detection zone without causing
an alarm. Be sure that you have been informed on routes to enter and exit from
without causing an alarm. If too much time is taken to exit, the beeping tone will
change to a steady tone, indicating the start of entry delay. Disarm the control and
start over to avoid a false alarm.

If the READY indicator is off, one or more detection devices such as a door or
window has been left open. The system cannot be armed. One or more of the six
ZONE indicators will also be lighted indicating the area of protection that is at fault.

DISARMING
Your system is programmed with one or more entrance delay zones which allow
time to enter the premises without causing an alarm. Each delay door may be
programmed with a different entry time. Be sure to check with your installer.
Note: If your system has the “Interior Follower” feature enabled, all
interior designated zones automatically become delay zones whenever
you first enter through a delay zone. This allows you to walk In front of
motion detectors on the way to the control station after you enter.
After entering the premises through a delay zone, the control station will sound
