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).
1
Overview
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.
1
How Your Security System Works
1
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
Overview
vary. If your system is programmed for silent alarms, no bells
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.
2
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.
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.
IMPORTANT: Your building is not fully protected from actual
alarms during the learning period.

Emergency Keys
1
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 and 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.
To Use Emergency Keys:
1. To report a medical emergency, press and hold the
key for 2 seconds
until you see:
EMERGENCY ALARM
2. To report a fire, press and
hold the key for 2
seconds until you see:
FIRE ALARM
3. To report a crime in progress,
press and hold the
key for 2 seconds until you
see:

System Status Messages
1
Your keypad's display gives you information about the status of
your system. If there is more than one condition to report, your
keypad displays each message in turn.
Below is a list of the types of messages you may see. On your
Overview
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.
ALARM (ZN#) A zone (ZN) is, or recently has been, in alarm.
ARMED-HOM The system is armed using home-arming.
ARMED-INS The system is armed using instant home-arming.

No system status messages are displayed while you arm the system, or make other changes, like assign user codes.

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 (user numbers 1 through 60).
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.
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.

Important Note. 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 specific information
about how your system was
configured. Refer to this information to select the proper user
number.

If you make a mistake entering
the user code, simply re-enter
the code.
How to Delete a User Code
You may delete a user code by
changing that code to 0000.
Follow the procedure for assigning or changing a user
code, described on the previous page.
Some security systems include wireless keyfobs and remotes, used to

fied by pager, by an automated
telephone call, or by your monitoring station. (Not all monitoring stations offer this service.)
The Kidwatch Code is a fourdigit code that you can change
or delete like any other user
code. The code is assigned to
user number 11. It allows your
children to disarm the system,
and can be programmed to allow them to arm or bypass
zones.
How it works. After arriving
home during a day when
Kidwatch is active, your children disarm the system by entering the Kidwatch code. If
they do not enter the code by a
given time, you are notified.

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. Your 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.
How it works. Arriving at the
building during a day when the
Maid Code is active, the maid
can disarm the system by entering the Maid Code. Upon
leaving the building, the maid
can arm the system by entering the same 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
3
Arm/ Bypass
armed with full-arming. If sensors detect movement within a
building, or at the building's 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. Refer to Section 8
to determine if your system was programmed for quick arming.
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.
