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:

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.

is faulted.

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.

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.

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.

18

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 last from 20 to 255 seconds, depending upon how your
system was programmed.

During the exit delay, the Arm LED blinks. The keypad may beep
during the delay; if so, it beeps
faster during the last ten sec­onds. As shown to the right, a
bar appears at the base of the
display. This bar represents the
amount of time you have to exit
and secure the building.

When half of the time has ex­pired, the bar will be half its
original length.

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.

23

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.

3

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.

Arm/ Bypass

Force Arming. With Force Arming, your system arms, even if
some not-ready zones exist. All not-ready zones are ignored
(bypassed), and therefore, not protected. Exception: Not-ready
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 bulding
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.

24

Bypassing

When you manually bypass a
zone, your security system
functions as if that zone does
not exist. Bypassed zones

are not protected.

The master user can bypass
any zone. Other users may
have limited rights to bypass
zones, depending on your
system's programming.

If your system is programmed
for quick bypassing, you do not
need to enter a user code to by­pass zones. Follow the instruc­tions for quick bypassing on the
next page.

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.

To Bypass a Zone:

Optional Arming Features

Your system offers the optional arming features described below.
Refer to Section 8 to see which 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 or equiva­lent) allows you to arm and/or disarm the system with a key. Fol­low the instructions provided with 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
user code, then exit. (Depending on your system's programming,
you may not need to enter your user code.)

Exit Termination. This option allows you to shorten the exit de­lay to the last five seconds by pressing a button connected to
your keypad.

27

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). How-

3

ever, if you do not exit the building, the system automatically arms
the perimeter zones only (home-arming).

Arm/ Bypass

28

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. As shown to the right, a bar appears at the base of the
display. This bar represents the
amount of time you have to enter

Canceling an Alarm

If programmed, your system
pauses briefly before sounding
an alarm. This gives you the
opportunity to cancel a false
alarm. You can cancel the
alarms of any sensor, including
a smoke detector.

The amount of time you have
to cancel the alarm depends
upon how your installer pro­grammed the system. See the
"Cancel Alarm Time" listing in
Section 8.

Five seconds after an alarm is
canceled, your system reverts
to normal.

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 under-
stand how to arm and disarm, and what special functions
they can and cannot do.

4

Disarm/Alarms

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's clock and calendar are ac-
curate. 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

32

How to Prevent False Alarms (continued)

Time). Also, check your clock after a power failure. See
Section 5.

8. Keep pets (and other animals) from motion detectors.
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, 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 the optional alarm features described below.
Refer to Section 8 to see if 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.

How to Set the Clock and Calendar

If your system's clock and 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,

5

even if your system has a
backup battery, it is best to
check the clock and calendar
following a power failure.

How to Use Quick View

You can rapidly review the sta­tus of your system by using
Quick View. Quick View will
tell you, for example, if any
zones have been faulted or by­passed.

Quick View uses the following
abbreviations to summarize a
zone's status:

B = Bypass. The zone is
bypassed.

F = Faulted. The zone's
sensor is faulted.

T = Trouble. The zone's
sensor may be malfunction­ing.

A = Alarm. An alarm event
occurred on this zone.

M = Tamper. The sensor
has been vandalized.

. = Normal. No problems
have been identified for this
zone.

To Use Quick View:

1. Press and hold the
[quick view] key for 2 sec­onds until you hear two
beeps. You see something
like this:

F.......T.......

...............B

Each row of the display has
16 spaces, one for each of
the maximum 32 zones of
your system. The letters or
symbols on each line iden­tify the zone's status (see the
list to the left).

In this example, zone 1 is
faulted, zone 9 is a trouble
zone, and zone 32 is by­passed. Periods mean no
problems exist with zones
2-8 and 10-31.

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.

7

Areas

Each system user is assigned
rights to one or more areas.
Users can arm and disarm only
those areas to which they have
rights.

When a building is divided into

Figure 1
Partitioned building
with a common area

49

7

Areas

areas, portions of the building
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.

Figure 2

Partitioned building
with no common area

50

2. Keypads may respond dif­ferently, depending upon

where they are located and
how they are programmed. A
keypad assigned to one area
is limited to handling informa­tion about that area only.

How Areas Affect User Codes

As described below, some of the user code types function differently
in a partitioned system.

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

Area

Area

If your building is divided into areas, your system may also recognize
one or more of these optional user code types:

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.

7

Area

Area

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.

Areas

51

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.

Understanding the Area Status Menu

The Area Status Menu summarizes the conditions of your system's
areas. The menu only appears on keypads assigned to the com­mon area of a partitioned system. To display the menu, enter
your user code. You see something like this:

AREA 12345678
STATUS RNAHIRAH

The numbers on the right-hand side of the display represent the
areas of your system. The letter under the number indicates the
status of the area. If you do not have rights to all of the areas in
your system, your keypad may be programmed to blacken a por­tion of the menu's display (see below).

The table on the following page explains the abbreviations used
in the Area Status menu. Thus, in the example above, area 1 is
ready to be armed, while area 3 is armed.

To get more information about any given area, press and hold the

Arming Individual Areas

From the Area Status Menu,
you can arm individual areas of
your system. Each partition can
be armed with full arming, home
arming or instant home-arming.

If an area is not ready to be
armed, your command to arm
this area causes one of two
things to happen. If your sys­tem is programmed for Force
Arming (see Section 8), the
area is armed, but any trouble/
faulted zones are automatically
bypassed. If your system is not
programmed for Force Arming,
the Zone Status Menu appears.
In that case, you must correct
or bypass any trouble or faulted
zones before arming can take
place.

To Arm One Area:

1. Enter your user code. You see
something like this:

AREA 12345678
STATUS RNAHIRAH

2. To arm an area using full arm­ing, press that area number.

3. To arm an area using home
arming, press the
