INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing the ZX200/ZX210 or the ZX400/ZX410/ZX440F Security
Control. This control will provide you with years of reliable operation when properly
installed and maintained.
To maximize the benefits of your Security System, it is important to carefully read
the entire contents of this manual and become familiar with all control operations.
Your Security Company Representative has recorded confidential information about
your system in this manual, therefore, you should store it in a secure place. Contact
your Security Company Representative immediately with any questions.
It is important to note however, that no security system provides total protection
over life or property, nor can it detect intrusion or other conditions in all circumstances. Ask your Security Company Representative to fully review the features of
your system, indicate areas of potential risk, and detail recommendations for future
upgrades to the system.
The following is a list of general precautions you should follow to maximize the
benefits of your security system:
1. The system must be tested at least once per week to ensure proper operation.
Contact your Security Company Representative for testing procedures and
scheduling of a regular maintenance program.
2. If the system is malfunctioning, have it serviced by a qualified professional as
soon as possible.
3. If the electrical system of the building is altered, be sure that the changes do
not create an interruptible power supply to the control panel.
4. If the telephone system is serviced, test the security system to ensure that
communication to the Central Station is intact.
5. Motion detectors are designed to detect specific types of motion within a
defined area. Be sure that you understand which areas are protected and under
what conditions the system is active (temperature and time variations, etc.).
6. Smoke detection devices cannot detect all types of fire under all circumstances.
Have your Security Company Representative explain the limitations of your fire
system. Have smoke detectors cleaned and tested on a regular basis.
7. Security systems rely upon electrical power as a primary power source. When
the electrical power fails, the control is powered by a standby battery. The
standby battery is automatically checked by the system and should be replaced
by a qualified service technician at regular intervals.
8. If upon returning to the building, you discover that an alarm has occurred, DO
NOT ENTER THE PREMISES. Immediately contact the proper authorities.
9. 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.
10. The ZX200/ZX210 and the ZX400/ZX410/ZX440F Security Controls are UL Listed
for Grade A Household Burglary and UL requires that audible burglar alarms be
sounded by a bell and fire alarms by a horn. For combination burglar and fire
alarm systems, the sounder will emit a temporal tone for fire alarms and a steady
tone for burglar alarms. The fire alarm signal takes priority over the burglar bell.
11. UL requires that exit times not exceed 60 seconds. Entrance times may not
exceed 45 seconds. Cutoff time for siren/bell cannot be less than 4 minutes for
residential fire and burglary and 15 minutes for commercial burglary.

MULTI-AREA OPERATION
Multi-Area Operation
Your system may be configured with two separate areas of protection.
For example, a duplex may have one system but have both halves set
up as separate areas for protection. Or, you may have one system for
your house and a storage building with each building set up as separate areas for protection. See your Security Company Representative
for more details.
If you have access to both areas through a Control Station, the Control
Station will prompt you to make an area selection for Area 1, Area 2, or
both for any operation, test, or programming that is performed. When
the Control Station is displaying the system status, it will alternate
between the Primary and the Secondary area when the Secondary area
is turned ON.
Examples:
If you press then enter your passcode, the Control Station will
display:

ENTER 1=AREA1
2=AREA2 3=BOTH
Your options are: Press 1 for Area 1
Press 2 for Area 2

If Area 1 is turned OFF and Area 2 is turned ON in the AWAY mode, the
display will alternate between the Ready display for Area 1:

COMMON AREA OPERATION
Common Area Operation
Your system may be configured with two separate areas of protection
and a common area. For example, an office building with two separate
offices and a common lobby. The lobby (or common area) only gets
armed when both areas are armed in the AWAY mode. When one area
is armed in the AWAY mode, the common area becomes an extension
of the other area. When either area is disarmed, the common area also
is disarmed. Faulted common area zones may be viewed on all Control
Stations.
Arming and disarming operations are the same as previously described,
except that when you arm an area in the AWAY mode, all common area
zones may need to be secure. You cannot Force-Arm common area
zones, but you may bypass them. You may exit or enter through the
common area as long as one of the two areas is in Exit or Entry time
countdown.
NOTE
Common Area is available in Rev 2.11 software and
later revisions. Check software version label or control
panel to determine revision level of software.

FIRE DETECTION
Fire Detection
Introduction
Your system may include fire detection, depending on the options
purchased and the local codes and regulations for your area. Fire alarm
systems are always active and cannot be turned OFF. All fire systems
require regular testing and maintenance. Common household dust
buildup in smoke detectors can cause them to false alarm or fail in a
time of need. Consult your Security Company Representative for a
scheduled maintenance program.
All devices in a Fire Alarm system should be tested monthly except as
described in NFPA 72. See Testing Your System - Walk Test for testing
zones and Bell Test for testing the bell.
When an Alarm Occurs
When a Fire Alarm occurs, the bell sounds, the Control Stations produce the fire alarm tone and display a Fire Alarm message and/or
display the zone that caused the alarm.
To silence the alarm, press the Off Cancel key and enter your passcode.
If you silence a Fire Alarm and the Control Station goes into Alarm
Memory Mode (see Alarm Conditions - Alarm Memory), the alarm will
be reported if your system is connected to a Central Station. If a false
alarm occurs, notify the authorities immediately.
If you silence a Fire Alarm and the Control Station does not go into
Alarm Memory mode, then the alarm was aborted and a Fire Trouble
condition will be displayed. You have 255 seconds to reset the smoke
detector (see Resetting Smoke Detectors below), otherwise the smoke
detectors will reset automatically after 255 seconds have elapsed.
NOTE
Your system may be equipped with Waterflow zones.
If you press the Off Cancel key and enter your
passcode to silence the alarm, but the alarm does
not silence, then the alarm may be due to a Waterflow
zone. In this case, you must press the ‘4’ (RESET
SMOKE) key and enter your passcode to silence the
alarm.
52
Page 53
FIRE DETECTION
For Fire Alarms that are not due to a Waterflow zone,
you cannot reset smoke detectors while the alarm is
sounding. You must silence the alarm with the Off
Cancel key first.
Resetting Smoke Detectors
Most smoke detectors “latch” in an alarm condition once they are
triggered. If your Control Station displays a Bell Silenced condition or a
trouble condition at the zone after you have silenced a Fire Alarm, you
will need to reset the smoke detector. Press the RESET SMOKE key (7)
and enter your passcode. The trouble condition should disappear in a
couple of seconds. If the trouble condition does not clear after resetting the smoke detector, contact your Security Company Representative for service.
Developing An Evacuation Plan
Preparation and education are of prime importance in the prevention of
fire. An evacuation plan should be established BEFORE a severe
situation arises. Your security system may or may not contain fire
detection and notification equipment. Make sure your Security Company Representative fully explains the configuration of your system.
Make sure you fully understand the limitations of your system.
Use the following steps in establishing an evacuation plan:
1. Evaluate all possible escape routes from your home and draw a
floor plan.
2. Select two exit escape routes from each room.
3. Provide escape ladders for rooms above the first floor. Check the
ladders to be sure that they will reach the ground.
4. Draw a rough sketch of your escape plan so that everyone is
familiar with it.
5. Practice your escape plan to assure that everybody knows what
they have to do in a severe situation.
6. Establish a meeting place outside where your family is to report.
7. Advise the local fire authority if you have installed a fire alarm
system.
53
Page 54
FIRE DETECTION
Discuss the following with all residents:
1. Familiarity with alarm signals.
2. Status of bedroom doors.
3. Testing of door during a fire and use of alternate escape routes if
HOT to touch.
4. Crawling and holding breath techniques during a fire.
5. ESCAPE FAST, DO NOT STOP for packing.
6. Emphasize that no one is to return to a burning building.
Fire Prevention And Escape
The purpose of heat and smoke detectors is to detect a fire in its earliest
stages and sound an alarm, giving you more time to exit the premises
before smoke reaches a dangerous level.
Know Fire Hazards
No detection device can protect life in all situations. Therefore, safeguards should be taken to avoid such potentially dangerous situations
as smoking in bed, leaving children home alone, and cleaning with
flammable liquids such as gasoline.
The best fire protection is minimizing fire hazards through proper
storage of materials and good housekeeping practices. Careless use of
combustible materials and electrical appliances overloading electrical
outlets are major causes of fire. Explosive and fast burning materials
must be eliminated from the home.
In Case Of Fire
Leave immediately! Do not stop to pack or search for valuables. In
heavy smoke, hold your breath and stay low - crawl if necessary. The
clearest air usually is at the floor. If you have to go through a closed
door, carefully feel the door and door knob to see if undue heat is
present. If relatively cool, brace your foot against the bottom of the
door with your hip against the middle, and one hand against the top
edge. Open slightly. If there is a rush of hot air, slam the door quickly
and latch it. Unvented fire will build up considerable pressure. Be sure
that all members of the household realize this danger.
54
Page 55
FIRE DETECTION
Use your neighbor’s phone or street fire alarm box. The job of extinguishing the fire should be left to the professionals. Too many unforeseen things can occur when inexperienced people try to extinguish a
fire.
Be Prepared
Perform fire drills regularly. Use them to assure recognition of an alarm
signal. For your protection, simulate different circumstances (smoke
the hall, living room, etc.). Then have everyone react to the situation.
Draw a floor plan and show two exits from each room. It is important
that children be instructed carefully. Their tendency is to hide in a
crisis.
It is imperative that one meeting place outside the home be established. You should insist that everyone meet there during an alarm.
This will eliminate the tragedy of someone reentering the house for a
missing member who is actually safe.
If you have small children and/or invalids residing in your household,
you can help your fire department by placing decals on bedroom
windows. Most fire departments supply the decals.
Become familiar with the distinctive sounds of your Fire alarm and
Burglar alarm signals.
Supervisory Alarm (ZX400/ZX410/ZX440F only)
& Fire Trouble
If a trouble condition for a Fire zone is displayed on your keypad,
consult your installer. A Fire Trouble condition results when a fire alarm
is silenced and the smoke detector has not been reset, or the smoke
detector is dirty and needs to be cleaned/serviced. A Fire Trouble also
results when a Fire zone is bypassed.
If none of the above apply, the Fire Trouble may be due to a wiring

FCC Compliance
FCC COMPLIANCE
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) rules. All connections to the
telephone net work must be made through standard telephone company plugs and jacks, RJ31-X or equivalent, in such a
manner as to allow for easy and immediate disconnection of the equipment. If the connection cord is unplugged from the
jack, there shall be no interference to the telephone equipment still connected to the telephone network.
The FCC registration number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) can be found printed on the wiring connection label
located inside the Control Box Enclosure. If requested, provide this information to your telephone company. The REN is
useful to determine the quantity of devices that may be connected to your telephone line and still have all of this devices ring
when your number is called. In most, but no all, areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices should not exceed five.
In the unlikely event that the equipment should ever fail to operate properly, it should be disconnected from the telephone
jack to determine if the problem is with the telephone net work or with the equipment. If a problem is found with the
equipment, leave it disconnected until it is repaired or replaced.
In the unlikely event that the equipment should ever cause harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may
temporarily discontinue your service. If possible, they will notify you in advance. However, if advance notice isn’t practical,
the telephone company may temporarily discontinue service without prior notification. In the case of temporary
discontinuance, the telephone company shall promptly notify the telephone subscriber who will be given the opportunity to
correct the situation. The customer also has the right to bring a complaint to the FCC if he feels the disconnection is not
warranted.
Your telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the
proper operation of your equipment. If they do, you will be given advance notice so as to give you an opportunity to
maintain uninterrupted service.
You should notify the telephone company if this equipment is removed from the premises and the telephone jack is no longer
needed.
The FCC prohibits the connection of this equipment to party lines and the use of this equipment in conjunction with coinoperated telephone service. An AC surge arrestor should be installed in the system’s AC power outlet.
Part 15 Notification
Part 68 Notification
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of FCC
rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is
operated in a residential environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user
is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or and experienced radio/TV technician for help.
CAUTION: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to

Canadian Notice
The Canadian Department of Communications label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment
meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational and safety requirements. The Department does not guarantee
that the equipment will operate to the user’s satisfaction. Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is
permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed
using an acceptable method of connection. In some cases, the company’s inside wiring associated with a single line individual
service may be extended by means of a certified connector assembly (telephone extension cord). The customer should be aware
that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations. Repairs to certified
equipment should be made by and authorized Canadian maintenance facility designed by the supplier. Any repairs of alterations
make by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to request the
user to disconnect the equipment. Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the
power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be
particularly important in rural areas.
CAUTION: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric
inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.
The
LOAD NUMBER (LN) assigned to each terminal device denotes the percentage of the total load to be connected to a
telephone loop which is used by the device, to prevent overloading. The termination on a loop may consist of any combination
of devices subject only to the requirement that the total of the Load Numbers of all of the devices does not exceed 100.
This equipment is a Class B Digital apparatus which complies with the radio interference regulations, CRC c. 1374.
