Overview
Your Security System
Your security system includes a number of detection devices, such
as magnetic contacts, glassbreak detectors, smoke detec-
tors, and motion sensors. These devices identify alarm condi-
tions 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. Your system's zones are identified on a
label placed inside the door of your keypad.
Monitoring station personnel respond to system messages, and
notify emergency personnel as needed. A monitoring service is
an optional part of a security system.

Overview
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.

Overview
Your System's Programming
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.
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.
IMPORTANT: Your building is not completely protected from actual alarms during the learning period.

Understanding the Icon Messages
Your icon keypad communicates information by lighting the words
and phrases in the icon display. The words that make up a message may be on different lines, or separated by other words.
For example, you may see the following message in your display:
This message indicates that Zone 4 is not ready to arm.
In this manual, you will see messages such as these presented
on one line, such as this:
ZONE # NOT READY
Number symbols ("#") substitute for the specific numeric information your system displays.

Overview
System Status Messages
The display of your icon keypad gives you information about the
status of your system. If there is more than one condition to report, your display switches between the messages.
Below is a list of the types of messages you might see. On your
display, the # symbol is replaced with the number of the zone (or
zones) in question. For more information about many of these
messages, see Section 6.
READY. The system is ready to be armed.
READY ALARM ZONE #. The system is ready to be armed;
however, the system's alarm memory contains a record of an
alarm. To clear the alarm memory, press and hold the
key for two seconds.
READY BYPASS ZONE #. The system is ready to be armed;
however, the zone listed is bypassed, and therefore, not protected. If more than one zone is bypassed, the numbers of
the zones are sequentially displayed.
NOT READY ZONE #. The system is not ready to be armed.
The zone number listed is faulted. (The zone may be faulted
if, for example, a door is ajar or a window is open.) If more
than one zone is faulted, the numbers of the zones are sequentially displayed.
NOT READY TAMPER ZONE #. The system is not ready to be
armed. The zone listed has been tampered with. If more
than one zone has been tampered with, the numbers of the
zones are sequentially displayed.

Overview
Emergency Keys
Your keypad is equipped with
three emergency keys. The
keys do not function unless
your installer activated them.
If activated, these keys are a
one-button way to inform your
monitoring station of a medical
emergency, a fire, or a crime in
progress.
Depending upon how your system is programmed, an alarm
may sound when an emergency key is pressed. To can-
cel the alarm, press the
key, then enter your
user code.
After you press an emergency
key, your keypad's display
shows that an emergency
alarm occurred. To clear the
display, press and hold the
key for two seconds
until you hear two beeps.
To Use Emergency Keys:

User Codes and User Numbers
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 user num-
ber. 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
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, be sure
that you select a user number with the privileges you want that
user to have. Your installer should have provided you with spe-
cific information about how your system was configured. Refer to
this information to select the proper user number.
Page 13

You will know that you entered
an incorrect code when the system does not complete your
command. As a security feature, your keypad does not
beep when you enter an incorrect user code.
If you make a mistake entering
the code, simply re-enter your
user code.
How to Enter a User Code
To enter a user code, simply press the four numbers in succession. Do not pause for more than five seconds between numbers. For security reasons, the code you enter is not displayed.
To Correct a User
Code Entry:
1. Re-enter your user code.

until you hear two beeps.
You see:
ENTER
MASTER CODE
Enter the master user code.
The first available user number is shown.
2. To select another user number, enter that two-digit num-
ber and press
. If a
user code has been assigned
to this number, it is displayed,
one number at a time.
3. Enter the new 4-digit user
code. As you enter each of
the 4 numbers of the code, the
keypad draws the four sides
of a square and beeps twice.
User codes can be created or
changed as often as you like.
Any code you select must be
four numbers long.
You cannot use 0000, or assign
the same code to more than
one user number. Avoid codes
that are easy to guess, like
1234. The default master user
code (user number 1) is 5832.
For security reasons, be sure
to change this code. Do not assign the code 5832 to another
user.
If you make a mistake while
assigning a user code, you may
correct it by repeating the procedure.
You may stop the procedure at
any time by jumping ahead to
the final step (namely, pressing
and holding the
key for
two seconds.
Be sure to record the user
codes, and to keep these
records in a safe place.

How to Delete a User Code
You may delete a code by
changing that code to 0000.
Follow the procedure for assigning or changing a user
code.
To Delete a User Code:
1. Change the user code to
0000, following the procedure for assigning or changing a user code.
Some security systems include wireless keyfobs and remotes, used to
arm and disarm the system. If a
keyfob or remote is lost, you can protect your building by deleting its assigned user code.

How the Arming Modes Differ
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
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). Your 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.
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.
Page 23

Arm/ Bypass
19
Exit Delays
An exit delay is the amount of time you have to exit and secure
the building, once your security system begins to arm. These
delays may last from 20 to 255 seconds, depending upon how
your system is programmed.
During the exit delay, the Arm LED blinks. The keypad display
counts down the seconds remaining in the exit delay. The keypad may beep; if so, it beeps faster during the last ten seconds.
Any arming command with an
exit delay may be canceled before the system is armed. To
cancel an arming sequence,
enter a user code during the exit
delay.
To Stop an Arming
Sequence:
1. Enter your user code.

When your system is armed
with full arming, both the perimeter and interior zones are
armed. You are allowed a set
time to enter or exit the building before an alarm sounds.
See Section 8 for the entry and
exit delay settings programmed
into your system.

With home arming, you can remain inside a building while its
perimeter zones (such as doors
and windows) are armed. No
alarm sounds if a sensor detects movement within the
building.
Your system might be programmed for a home arming
exit delay option (see Section
8.) This means that one or
more individuals can leave the
building during the exit delay.
At the end of the exit delay, only
the perimeter zones are armed.

Home-Arming
With instant home-arming, an
alarm sounds the instant a sensor on the building's perimeter
detects a problem. The interior
sensors are not armed.
Before anyone can open a protected door or window, the system must first be disarmed.
To prevent false alarms, use instant arming only when you are
sure no system user will open
a protected door or window.

Arming With Not-Ready Zones
The zones in your system are not always ready to arm. For example, a zone would not be ready to arm if one of its sensors has
been vandalized, needs service, or detects a potential alarm condition. Zones which are not ready to arm are referred to as not-ready
zones.
Your system has been programmed to automatically handle not-ready
zones in one of three ways described below. Refer to Section 8 to
see how your system was programmed.
Force Arming. With Force Arming, the system arms, even if
some not-ready zones exist. All not-ready zones are ignored
(bypassed) and therefore, not protected. Exception: Any faulted
Day Buzzer or Day Bell zones must be manually bypassed before arming can occur. These are zones that cause a buzzer or
bell to sound if they are faulted while the system is disarmed.
Chirp-Alert Arming. With Chirp-Alert Arming, your system does
not arm if a not-ready zone exists. At the end of the exit delay,
your system's sounders chirp. You must re-enter the building
and enter a user code, or an alarm sounds. Then, you must
either correct or manually bypass these zones before the system can be armed.
Goof-Proof Arming. With Goof-Proof Arming, the system does
not arm if there are any not-ready exit zones (doors). Instead,
an alarm sounds at the end of the exit delay. You must re-enter
the building and correct the not-ready zones before arming can
occur.

When you manually bypass a
zone, your security system
functions as if that zone does
not exist. Bypassed zones
are not protected.
NOTE: Depending upon your
system's programming, you
may not be able to bypass all
of the zones in your system.
Restoring bypassed zones.
If you manually bypass a 24hour zone, such as a
glassbreak detector, that zone
remains bypassed until you restore it. However, if you manually bypass a zone that is not a
24-hour zone, it is restored
when you disarm the system.
Bypassing
To Bypass a Zone:
1. When a zone is faulted, the
display reads:
ZONE# # NOT READY
2. To bypass the zone, press the
key. You see:
ENTER BYPASS ZONE#
3. Enter the two-digit zone
number. (For zones 1-9, enter a "0" first.) You see:

4. Enter your user code.
To Restore a Bypassed Zone:
Repeat the procedure above.
The zone operates normally.

Quick
Bypassing
Quick bypassing allows you to
bypass zones without entering
a user code. This option must
be programmed into your system by the installer. With quick
bypassing, any user can bypass any bypassable zone.
IMPORTANT: If your system is
programmed for quick bypassing, anyone can bypass your
system's zones. Since bypassed zones are not protected, this feature increases
the likelihood that your system
may be defeated.
To Bypass a Zone with Quick
Bypassing:
1. When a zone is faulted, the
display reads:
ZONE# # NOT READY
2. To bypass the zone, press the
key. You see:
ENTER BYPASS ZONE#
3. Enter the two-digit zone
number . (For zones 1-9,

Optional Arming Features
Your system offers the optional arming features described below.
Refer to Section 8 to see which features are installed on your
system.
Extended Exit Delay. This feature automatically resets the exit
delay if you re-enter the building while the system is being armed.
You may re-enter four times; each time, the exit delay is reset to
its full value.
Keypad Lockout. Designed to prevent an intruder from guessing a user code, this option causes the system to slow down if a
series of invalid user codes are entered. Before a new user code
can be entered, the user must wait through a delay. The delay
lengthens as more invalid codes are entered. Depending upon
your system's programming, the keypad lockout may not affect
arming.
Keyswitch Arming. This accessory (Sierra S5051) allows you
to arm and/or disarm the system with a key. Follow the instructions on the switch.
Quick Exit. This option allows you to exit a home-armed building
without disarming and re-arming. To start the exit delay, press
and hold the
[quick exit] key for 2 seconds until you hear
two beeps. Enter your user code, then exit. (Depending on your
system's programming, a user code may not be needed.)
Exit Termination. This option allows you to shorten the exit delay to the last five seconds by pressing a button located near your
exit.
Page 33

Arm/ Bypass
29
Optional Arming Features (continued)
Automatic Home-Arming. Automatic Home-Arming allows you
to remain inside a building while its perimeter zones (such as
doors and windows) are armed. Arming begins by entering your
user code. If you exit the building during the exit delay, the system arms both the interior and perimeter zones (full arming). However, if you do not exit the building, the system automatically arms
the perimeter zones only (home arming).

Disarm/Alarms
Entry Delays
Similar to an exit delay, an entry delay is the time you are allowed
to enter the building, walk to the keypad, and enter a user code
before an alarm sounds. This delay lasts from 10 to 255 seconds, depending on your system's programming. The length of
the delay may differ, depending on which door you use.
During the entry delay, the Arm LED blinks. The keypad may
beep during the delay. If so, it beeps faster during the last ten
seconds. The numeric display counts down the number of seconds remaining in the entry delay.
During the entry delay, the ENTER CODE icons are lit, to remind you
of the procedure to disarm the system.
Disarming
To Disarm the System:
1. Enter through a door programmed with an entry delay.
2. Enter your user code.
Regardless of which method
was used to arm your system,
the disarming sequence is always the same.
Be sure that the door you use
to enter the building has been
programmed with an entry delay.

How to Prevent False Alarms
False alarms are more than a nuisance—they reduce the reliability of your security system. Here are a few steps you can take to
prevent the annoyance and expense of false alarms.
1. Know your system. Make sure all system users understand how to arm and disarm, and what special functions
they can and cannot do.
2. Remember your user code. Forgotten user codes are
the most common cause of false alarms.
3. If you have an optional keyswitch, be sure you know where
your keys are.
4. Shut doors and windows completely. Before arming
your system, be sure all protected windows and doors are
closed. As you leave the building, shut the exit door completely.
5. Regularly test and maintain your system. Routine testing and maintenance will help you detect a service condition.
See Section 6 for more information.
6. Be selective when arming the system for instant
alarms. This setting should not be used when a user might
open a door or window.
7. Make sure your system clock and calendar are accu-
rate. Many system functions, such as Kidwatch and Automatic Arming, are time-related. Be sure to adjust your clock
to reflect seasonal time changes (such as Daylight Savings
Page 39
4
35
Disarm/Alarms
Time). Also, check your clock and calendar after a power
failure. See Section 5.
8. Keep pets (and other animals) from motion and infra-
red sensors. If you have obtained a pet since your system
was installed, your system may need to be modified. Contact your dealer for more information.
9. Bypass trouble zones. If your system has one or more
trouble zones (zones with sensors that need service), bypass them before arming. Have the sensor(s) inspected if
the problem continues. Remember that bypassed zones are
not protected.
Optional Alarm Features
Your system offers additional optional alarm features, described
below. Refer to Section 8 to see which of these options are installed on your system.
Alarm Lockout. The system automatically ignores a sensor that
repeatedly sends alarm signals.
Silent alarm. With this option, no bells or sirens sound during an
alarm, but the monitoring station is notified. If the phone lines are
down, or the monitoring station cannot be reached for some other
reason, the on-site bells or sirens may be reactivated, depending
upon how your system is programmed.
Page 40

Settings
36
If your system's clock or calendar is incorrect, it could result
in false alarms. Since many
system functions are time-dependent, it is very important
to regularly check your
system's clock and calendar.
Be sure to reset the clock after
seasonal time changes, such
as Daylight Savings Time. Also,
although your system may have
a backup battery, it is best to
check the clock and calendar
following a power failure.
NOTE: your system's clock
uses a 24-hour, or military-style,
format. For example, in a 24hour format, 1:00 p.m. is expressed as 13:00. Thus, when
you enter the hours of the day,
be sure to use this format.
To convert from 24-hour time to
12-hour time, subtract 12 hours
from all times greater than
12:00; these are p.m. times. (In
24-hour time, midnight is 00:00,
and noon is 12:00.)
To Set the Clock
and Calendar:
1. Press and hold the

How to Walk-Test the System
A walk-test allows you to test
your system's functions without
causing an alarm. You can be
sure your security system is
functioning properly by conducting a walk-test once a
week.
The first step of a walk-test is
to place your system in walktest mode. Then, walk in front
of motion sensors, and open
protected doors and windows.
Each time a sensor detects
your presence, the keypad
beeps, and names the most recently faulted zone in its display.
If your system fails to detect a
sensor, exit the walk-test mode
and make sure the sensor's
zone is not bypassed. If it is
bypassed, remove the bypass
and repeat the walk-test. If this
does not correct the problem,
contact your service representative.
IMPORTANT: during a walktest, your building is not protected against actual alarms.
To Conduct a Walk-Test:
1. Press and hold the
[walk test] key for 2 seconds
until you hear 2 beeps. You

building equipment; if not found, call for
service. Reset the clock, once power
is restored.
If there has been a recent power
outage, allow the battery to recharge
overnight. If the problem remains, call
for service.
If line is functioning, call monitoring
station. If not, call telephone company

What Areas Do
Your security system allows
you to divide (or "partition") a
building into as many as eight
areas, regions that can be
armed and disarmed individually. Designed primarily for
commercial settings, areas can
limit an individual's access to
portions of a building.
A building that is divided into
areas may include a common
area, an area most system users can arm and disarm. The
first diagram shows how a
building could be divided to include a common area.
Buildings may also be partitioned without a common area.
As the second diagram shows,
this setup works well for structures with tenant spaces, but no
lobby or shared hallway.
Each system user is assigned
rights to certain areas. Users
can arm and disarm only those
areas to which they have rights.
When a building is divided into
areas, portions of the building

Areas

Diagram 2
Partitioned building
with no common area
can be independently armed
and disarmed. In the case of
the first building illustrated, an
employee can work in the repair shop while the showroom,
offices, and warehouse are
armed. Similarly, in the case
of the second illustration, the
restaurant can remain open after the other shops are closed
and armed.
Dividing a building into areas
changes the following system
functions:
1. Users have restricted access to system functions. A
user with access to only one
area cannot issue commands
affecting other areas, or obtain
information about the other areas.
2. Keypads may respond differently, depending upon
where they are located and
how they are programmed.
Your icon keypad is limited to
handling information about its
assigned area only.

How Areas Affect User Codes
As described below, some of the user code types function differently
in a partitioned system.
Area
Grand Master User Code. The grand master user
can assign and change user codes, and may be able
to arm and disarm the entire system. Only the grand
master user and your installer can view and change
the grand master user code.
Area Master User Code. Each area has its own
master user. The area master user can make any
user-controlled changes within a given area.
Area Basic User Code. Area basic users can disarm and may be able to arm, bypass, or make other
changes within an area. Users can have rights to
more than one area.
Area Maid Code. Maid Days are assigned to each
area, so if you need to change the Maid Days, you
must make the changes for each area individually.
Kidwatch Code. Your system recognizes only one
Kidwatch Code, regardless of how many areas are
present. The Kidwatch Code is assigned to area 1.
Area Duress Code. One duress code can be assigned to each area.
Area Relay Code. One relay code can be assigned
to each area.
Area
If your building is divided into areas, your system may also recognize
one or more of these optional user code types:

Pre-Assigned Area User Numbers
As the table below shows, some user numbers are reserved for
specific user types. For example, User 11 is the preassigned
Kidwatch user number. If programmed, your system automatically restricts User 11 to the limited Kidwatch privileges.
When your system does not recognize a given user type, the user
number functions like other non-reserved user numbers. If your
building is not divided into areas, user codes reserved for areas
do not apply. Also, if your building is divided into only two or three
areas, codes reserved for the remaining areas do not apply.

Changing Area User Codes
In a system with multiple areas, an Area Master User can only
change the codes of the users assigned to that area. If you attempt to change the code of a user when you do not have the
right to do so, you hear an error tone.

How Areas Affect the System
If your building is divided into areas, your icon keypad is assigned
to one area only. From the icon keypad, you can only make
changes that affect that area alone. This is described in more
detail below.
Arming and disarming. Your icon keypad can be used to
arm and disarm its assigned area only. You cannot disarm
other areas from the icon keypad.
Bypassing. You can use the icon keypad to bypass only
those zones within the assigned area.
Obtaining other system information. From the icon keypad, you can get information about the zones within the assigned area only.
Canceling alarms. You can only cancel alarms occurring
within the assigned area.

Glossary of Terms
Area: a region of a building that can
be armed and disarmed independently
of the remainder of the building.
Bypassing: the act of instructing your
security system to ignore a zone. A bypassed zone is not protected.
Entry Delay: The amount of time you
have to enter your armed building, walk
to the keypad, and enter your user code
before an alarm sounds.
Exit Delay: The amount of time you
have to exit and secure your building
before an alarm sounds.
Faulted: describes a condition which,
if the system were armed, would cause
an alarm, such as an opened door or
window. Faulted zones must be corrected or bypassed before arming occurs.
Full Arming: a method of arming that
arms all of your system's sensors, both
along the building's perimeter, and inside the building.
Home Arming: a method of arming that
arms only those sensors along the perimeter of your building.
Instant Home-Arming: a method of
arming that triggers an alarm the instant
a sensor detects an alarm condition.
Monitoring Station: a service that
monitors the status of your security system through a telephone hook-up.
Tamper: describes a sensor, or other
system equipment, that has been deliberately damaged.
Trouble: describes a sensor, or other
system equipment, that may be in need
of service.
User Code: a secret four-digit number
used to arm and disarm the system, and
make other changes.
User Number: a two-digit number assigned to each user.
Zone: a sensor or a group of sensors
protecting a region of your building.
24-Hour Zone: a zone, such as a
smoke detector, which is programmed
to detect alarm conditions whether your
system is armed or disarmed.
