Y our security system includes a number of detection devices, such
as magnetic contacts, glassbreak detectors, smoke detec-tors, and motion sensors. These devices identify alarm conditions and report them to the control panel. If programmed, the
control panel sounds an alarm. The control panel also communicates with you (through the keypad) and with a monitoring sta-tion (through a telephone hook-up).
Each region monitored by a sensor (or group of sensors) is known
as a zone. Most zones will trigger an alarm only when the system is armed. Other sensors, such as smoke detectors, can trigger an alarm at any time. Y our system's zones are identified on a
label placed inside the door of your keypad.
Overview
Monitoring station personnel respond to system messages, and
notify emergency personnel as needed. A monitoring service is
an optional part of a security system.

How Your Security System Works

When an intruder enters the building, a detection device is triggered. The device sends a message to the control panel. The
device may have LEDs (lights) that blink.
The control panel responds by sounding the alarm. (Alarm sounds

vary. If your system is programmed for silent alarms, no bells or
sirens sound.) A message is sent to the keypad and, if connected, to the monitoring station.
The keypad displays a warning message. Personnel at the monitoring station confirm the alarm and respond accordingly.
Some alarms can be canceled before the siren sounds and the
monitoring station is notified. See Section 4 for more information.

Your System's Programming
www.ukpanels.com
Your Sierra security system has been customized to suit your
needs. Besides selecting the best equipment for your building,
your installer has programmed your system to operate in a way
that reflects your lifestyle. For example, your system may be
programmed to recognize special user codes, to arm and disarm
automatically, or to report to a monitoring station.
Throughout this manual, you will find descriptions of features that
may have been programmed into your system. To see how your
system was programmed, refer to the checklist in Section 8.
Getting Used to Your System
Your security system can be programmed for a learning period
that can last from one to 31 days. With this option, you can practice using your system without causing any false alarms. Refer to
Section 8 to see if this learning period was programmed into your
system.
During the learning period, your system does two things differently . First, during an alarm, you do not hear any sirens or bells.
Second, if you have a monitoring station hook-up, your system
does not notify the station of an alarm.
1
Overview
After the learning period is over, your system automatically begins to function normally . If programmed, sirens and bells sound
during an alarm, and the monitoring station receives information
over the telephone hook-up.
IMPORT ANT: Your building is not completely protected from actual alarms during the learning period.

User Codes and User Numbers
www.ukpanels.com
A user code is a secret four-digit number, used to arm and dis-

arm the system, and possibly to make other changes. Every individual who has a user code is also assigned a two-digit usernumber. You cannot assign the same user code to more than
one user number.
You can assign a different user code and user number to each
person who operates the system. Your security system supports
User Codes
up to 60 users.
If you prefer, you can assign only one user code and user number to a group of users. This is not recommended, since it will
then be impossible to determine which individual gave a specific
command.
Selecting the Right User Number
At installation, each user number is assigned rights and privileges. For example, user number 18 may have the rights to arm,
disarm, and bypass zones. This is true even if, in this example,
there is no user 18 using the system.
Thus, if you want to assign a user code to a new user,

user to have.

If an intruder forces you to disarm your system, this optional
code sends a silent signal to
alert monitoring station personnel that you are in danger.
For systems without multiple
areas, the code is assigned to
user number 15. You can
change or delete this code like
any other user code.
Relay
Code
A relay code acts like a switch. When you enter this code, a
device that is connected to the control panel is turned on or off.
For example, your system can be programmed to switch the exterior lights of your building on or off when you enter a relay code.
Relay codes must be programmed into your system by the installer.
To Use the Duress Code:

Your system appears to disarm normally. However, a

Maid Code works only on certain days of the week.
User Codes
The Maid Code is a four-digit
user code that you can change
or delete like any other user
code. Y our installer must have
programmed your system to
accept a Maid Code. For systems without multiple areas (as
described in Section 7), the
code is assigned to user number 13. It allows an individual
to arm and disarm the system
on specific days or for limited
periods of time.

How the Arming Modes Differ
www.ukpanels.com
Your security system can be armed in a number of ways, to suit
different situations. These modes are summarized below.
Full Arming. You cannot be inside the building when it is
3
Arm/ Bypass
armed with full-arming. If sensors detect movement within a
building, or at the buildings perimeter, an alarm sounds.
Home Arming (optional). You can be inside the building
when it is armed with home-arming. If someone enters the
building through a protected door, you must enter a user code,
or an alarm sounds.
Instant Home-Arming (optional). You can be inside the
building when it is armed with instant home-arming. If someone enters the building through a protected door, an alarm
sounds instantly.
Automatic Arming (optional). Y our system can be pre-programmed to arm and disarm at preset times and days. You
cannot be inside the building when it is automatically armed.
(See Note 1 on page 61.)
Quick Arming Modes
If your system is programmed for quick arming, you do not need
to enter your user code before arming begins.
Quick arming does not affect how your system behaves once it is
armed. For example, there is no difference in the way a system
armed with home-arming or quick home-arming protects you.
