When performing system functions, you must use the appropriate 4 or 6-digit user codes. -8- Turning The System On IS THE SYSTEM READY? You can turn the burglar portion of your security system on and off. Before you can turn the system on, it must be "ready." If you have a protected door open, or someone is moving in view of a motion detector, the system will not display "READY." The system is ready if the READY light and the display shows: Fixed-Glass Keypad: LED Keypad: LCD Keypad: Ready LED lit Ready LED lit SYSTEM READY PART 1 TO TURN THE SYSTEM ON AND LEAVE Enter your user code. The System On (ARM) light will go on and the display will show: LCD Keypad: ON: AWAY PART 1 Fixed-Glass Keypad: Arm LED lit LED Keypad: Arm LED lit Exit through a door designated by your installer as an exit/entry door. You must leave within the exit time programmed by your installer. Refer to the reference sheet for the time that has been set for your system. WHEN THE SYSTEM IS NOT READY If the system is not ready to be armed, the READY light will be off and the display will show which zone or zones are not ready. The following conditions will be indicated by the zone lights (LED keypad) or described on the display: Fast Blink ............................. Alarm or tamper condition Slow Blink/Low Intensity Bypass Slow Pulse ............................ Trouble, problem with RF receiver, or low battery Solid On ................................. Zone faulted Example: If the READY light is not lit and the Zone 1 light is solid on, an alarm sensor on Zone 1 is faulted. This might mean that a door is open or someone is walking in view of a motion sensor. Check all sensors on Zone 1 and resolve the problem. When all sensors are restored, the READY light will come on and the zone light will go out. In this example, the display shows: NOT READY PART 1 and NOT RDY FRONT DOOR ZN 1 -9- Turning The System On (cont) Determine which zone or zones are not ready, resolve the problem, and turn the system on normally. If the problem cannot be resolved, you may bypass the zone that is not ready. Bypassing should only be done if the problem on the zone cannot be resolved, OR if you intentionally wish to leave the zone off. For example, you would leave the zone off if you plan to keep the window open for ventilation. Zones that are bypassed are not protected when the system is on. See Bypass on the following page for a description of the procedure. TO TURN THE SYSTEM ON AND STAY INSIDE To turn the perimeter portion of your burglar alarm on and move around freely inside the premises, use the STAY mode. Check to make sure the system is ready. When it is ready, press: STAY followed by your user code. When the system has been turned on successfully, the On/Off (ARM) light and the following will display: Fixed-Glass Keypad: LED Keypad: LCD Keypad: STAY Arm and Stay LEDs lit ON: STAY PART 1 REMEMBER: You must turn the system off if you want to open the door or leave the premises after the exit time has passed. TO TURN THE SYSTEM ON IN INSTANT MODE AND STAY INSIDE In INSTANT STAY mode, the perimeter portion of your burglar alarm system is on but the time delays are eliminated from your normal entry/exit door(s). All interior protection is off, so you are free to move around inside. Check to make sure the system is READY. When it is ready, press: INSTANT STAY followed by followed by your user code. When the system has been turned on successfully, the On/Off (ARM) light, the INSTANT light, and the STAY light will all be on, and the following will display: LCD Keypad: ON: STAY / INS PART 1 Fixed-Glass Keypad: STAY INSTANT LED Keypad: Armed, Stay, and Instant LEDs lit NOTE: This system can be programmed by the installer for the AUTOSTAY feature which automatically bypasses interior zones if you arm the system and do not exit through a delay zone during exit time. - 10 - Turning The System On (cont) TO TURN THE SYSTEM ON IN INSTANT MODE In INSTANT mode, all alarm sensors including doors that normally have a delay to allow you to turn the system off will report an alarm immediately if activated. Check to make sure the system is ready. When it is ready, press: INSTANT followed by your user code. When the system has been turned on successfully, the On/Off light and the Instant light will be on, and the following will display: LCD Keypad: ON: INSTANT PART 1 Fixed-Glass Keypad: INSTANT LED Keypad: Arm and Instant LED lit TO BYPASS A ZONE The Bypass function excludes a zone of protection from the security system until it is unbypassed (either by using the unbypass procedure or when you turn the system off). Bypassing can only be done while the system is turned off. Press the BYPASS button. Then enter your user code and the zone number (1-7) to be bypassed, as follows: BYPASS followed by your user code + ZONE # If the Quick Bypass feature has been enabled by the installer, do not enter the user code when bypassing zones. NOTE: Bypassed zones are NOT protected when the system is turned on. After the bypass command has been accepted, the keypad sounds one long beep, and the following will display: LCD Keypad: BYPASSED: ZN 01 FRONT DOOR Fixed-Glass Keypad: BYPASS zone number displayed LED Keypad: zone LEDs of the zone(s) bypassed slowly blink TO UNBYPASS A ZONE Pressing the BYPASS button returns a bypassed zone to normal operation. To unbypass a zone(s), repeat the bypass function as follows: BYPASS followed by your user code + ZONE #. After unbypassing, the zone display will show the state of the zones. If the Quick Bypass feature has been enabled by the installer, do not enter the user code when unbypassing zones. - 11 - Turning The System Off When you turn the system off, you turn off only the burglar portion of your system; any smoke or heat detectors and panic keys will remain on. You must enter through a designated entry door and turn off the system within the time allowed. You can have different amounts of time for different entry points. See your system reference sheet for the times established for your system. To turn your system off: Enter your user code. If no alarms have taken place, the On/Off light (labeled ARM) will go off, or the display shows: LCD Keypad: SYSTEM READY PART 1 Fixed-Glass Keypad: Ready LED lit LED Keypad: Ready LED lit If alarms occurred when the system was on, or if a trouble condition exists, the display shows: LCD Keypad: ALM MEM PART 1 ZN1 Fixed-Glass Keypad: Arm LED lit Ready LED blinks LED Keypad, zone LEDs: Fast Blink = alarm or tamper Slow Blink = bypass Slow Pulse = trouble, problem with RF receiver, or low battery Solid On = zone faulted Burglary alarms will sound a steady tone at the keypad(s), and fire alarms will generate a pulsing sound. IMPORTANT: If an intrusion has taken place while you were away, do not enter until the location has been checked. Call for help from a neighbor's house and wait there for the police. To clear the display of alarm or trouble conditions and silence the audible alert: Enter your user code again. - 12 - User Codes TO ADD OR CHANGE A USER CODE Users can be added or changed directly at the keypad. Your system can have up to 64 different user codes, with each assigned to one of four authority levels and to a primary partition. The authority level determines the functions that user can perform. In addition, your system can be set up for 4-digit or 6-digit user codes. Ask your installer which type of user codes is used in your system. To add or change a user code, press the following: Master User Code User ID (01-64) New User Code Auth. Level CODE Authority Levels nn [1-4] Level Functions Allowed 1 Primary Master, access all partitions, can view log and set time, assign other user codes, all system functions 2 Secondary Master, same as primary master except cannot change the primary master's code 3 User, cannot assign code and cannot bypass zones 4 Limited user, same as level 3, except can disarm the system only if it was armed by another user with level 4 authority (cannot disarm if armed with user of higher authority level). Assigning Partitions to Users When a user code is assigned, that user is automatically allowed to perform system functions in the partition in which the user's code is assigned. You can also allow users to access other partitions and turn on open/close reporting to a pager by using the #7 command as follows: [#] [7] [master code] [user no.] [1, 2, 3, or 4] where: master code = user with authority level 1 or 2 user no. = the user that will be assigned access to other partitions 1, 2, 3, or 4 = enter the partition(s) 1-3 you want this user to have access to enter 4 if you want this user to send open/close reports to a pager TO DELETE A USER CODE To delete a user, press the Code button followed by the 4-digit master user code. Enter the the user number, then press [] to delete. For example, to delete user 3, do the following: Master User Code User ID to delete CODE 03 [] NOTE: User no. 1, the master user, cannot be deleted but it can be changed using the ADD OR CHANGE user procedure. - 13 - Miscellaneous Commands SEND HELP ALERTS Your system can be programmed for 3 separate keypad Send Help alerts that would send an emergency signal to your central station. See the System Reference sheet to see which have been programmed for your system. DURESS Your system can be programmed to send an emergency signal to the central station if you are forced to enter the premises under threat. If you choose to include this feature, assign codes to users 60-64, which are dedicated to this function, if programmed. Use these codes only under a duress circumstance. QUICK ON (QUICK ARMING) If programmed by your installer, Quick On, or Quick Arming, allows you to turn the system on to the AWAY mode without entering a user code. Press # ., then [1]. NOTE: Turning your system Off always requires a valid user code. QUICK FORCED ON If programmed by your installer, Quick Forced On allows you to turn the system on to the AWAY mode by automatically bypassing all zones that are not ready. Press # ., then [2]. NOTE: A valid user code is still required to turn the system off. NOTE: This feature is disabled on UL installations. QUICK BYPASS If you have Quick Bypass programmed for your system, you can bypass zones without entering your user code. The Quick Bypass procedure is: BYPASS 2-digit Zone no. (e.g. 01 for zone 1) NOTE: Bypassed zones are not protected when the system is turned on. After the bypass command has been accepted, the keypad sounds one long beep. The, or the display will show: Fixed-Glass Keypad: LED Keypad: LCD Keypad: Bypass LED lit Zone light of the BYPASSED: ZN1 bypassed zone(s) will PART 1 slowly blink NOTE: Temporary users (i.e. baby sitters, housekeepers, etc.) should not be shown the Bypass procedure. - 14 - Miscellaneous Commands (cont) QUICK EXIT Restarts exit delay time if the system is already armed. This allows someone to leave after the system has been armed, without having to disarm the system first. To restart the exit delay time, press: STAY .. TURN CHIME ON/OFF Chime is an optional feature that causes the keypad to beep when selected doors are opened while the burglary protection is off or disarmed. Only your installer can program a zone for the Chime feature, but once programmed, you can turn Chime on or off to meet your daily needs. To turn Chime on or off: Press # ., then [6]. ASSIGN USERS ACCESS TO OTHER PARTITIONS You can assign users access to any of the partitions in a multi-partition system by doing the following: # . [7] [master code] [user number] [1, 2, 3] where 1, 2, 3 are the partitions to which the user is authorized to access. CHANGE PARTITION To arm or disarm other partitions from your keypad, do the following: # [0] [1-3, 0, 9] where: 1-3* = the desired partition you wish to change to 0 = arms all partitions 9 = disarms all partitions *When you enter a partition number (1-3), the system displays the current armed state for that partition. You can then arm or disarm by entering the arming/disarming command. SET AUTO ON TIME Set Auto On Time lets you set the time your system will automatically turn on. To set the Auto On Time: Press # , then [54] [code] [hour 00-23] [minute 00-59]. The keypad will prompt you for the required entries. - 15 - Miscellaneous Commands (cont) TO VIEW AUTOARM TIME To view the autoarm time for the partition to which the keypad is assigned, press: # [52] [user code with authority level 1 or 2]. AUTOARM TIME: 05:00PM (The user code is not required if so programmed by installer.) DOOR STRIKE To activate door strikes: Press # , then [57], then [Door #] If programmed, certain user codes can also be used to open a door. See your installer for door numbers. VIEW TIME To view the system time, press: # [51]. A typical display is as follows: Dec 27, 1999 08:15A SET TIME To set the time, press: # [3] [user code*], then follow the prompts and enter the hour, minute, month, day, and year. All entries are 2-digit entries. (*The user code is not required if so programmed by installer.) DISPLAY ZONE DIRECTORY To view a list of the zones in the current partition, press # [4]. The zones will automatically scroll. - 16 - Using a Pager If programmed, the system can send messages to a pager. The messages display as follows: ACCT E XXX where: "ACCT" = the 4-digit central station no. 2 account number. "E" = is the event code. There are 4 event types: alarms, troubles, openings, and closings. These event codes are as follows: Openings = 0, Closings = 1, Alarm or Trouble = 9 "XXX" = the zone (01-48) or user (1-64) designation, depending on the event If multiple events occur, the signal for the highest-priority event is sent first. Events ranked from highest to lowest priority are alarms, trouble, open, and close. CHANGING THE PAGER PHONE NUMBER (FOLLOW-ME) You can change your pager follow-me phone number as follows if your installer enabled this feature: 1. Access pager number programming by pressing in sequence the [#], [5], and [8] keys. An acknowledgement tone sounds to indicate pager number programming has been accessed. The # [5], [8] command is accessible only while the system is disarmed and the dialer, dialer delay, and bell are not active. In pager phone number programming mode, only the alpha keypad provides visual display the of the numbers already programmed or numbers that are being changed. The LED and fixed-glass style keypads provide no visual keypad display of these numbers. 2. Enter your new pager phone number. Your new pager phone number may consist of up to 16 characters (1-9, 0). It may be necessary to add time to allow the pager to answer before dialing your pager number. To enter a 2second pause, press the [Code] key. (Entering a 2-second pause is optional and is not required to enter your pager phone number.) If the [Code] key was pressed, it counts as one character.

Pressing the [#] key saves your new pager number. An acknowledgement tone sounds. To exit without saving changes, press the [G] key to exit pager phone number programming. An acknowledgement tone sounds to indicate pager number programming has been exited. If you press the [G] key without first pressing the [#] key to save your new pager phone number, the system exits the pager phone number programming mode without saving the changes. If no key is pressed within 10 seconds, the pager phone number programming mode times out and exits automatically without saving any information entered. TURN PAGER REPORTING ON/OFF FOR THE PARTITION You can turn off the open/close reporting feature for a partition by pressing [#] [8]. To turn reporting back on, simply press [#] [8] again. TURN PAGER REPORTING ON/OFF FOR A USER You can turn on/off the open.close reporting feature for a user by doing the following : [#] [7] [master code] [user number] [4] NOTE: The [#] [7] command is also used to assign a user to a different partition (see page 15). - 18 - Testing The System SYSTEM TEST It is recommended that you test your system once a week using the following procedure: NOTE: If your system is monitored, contact your central station before you perform this test. 1. Turn your security system on. 2. Wait until your exit time is over. Then activate the system by opening a protected zone (for example: a window or door). 3. Confirm that the alarm sounding device (bell or siren) sounds. If your system is connected to a central station, the keypad will sound the ringback tone to confirm that the signal was received. 4. Turn the security system off. 5. Call the central station to tell them you are finished testing. BATTERY TEST It is recommended that you test your battery once a month. In order to test your backup/standby battery, the following procedure should be followed: 1. Unplug the transformer from the AC outlet by removing the restraining screw that secures the transformer to the wall. (NOTE: The screw is not present on the models sold in Canada.) 2. Observe that the AC indicator light on the keypad goes off. 3. Activate your alarm by performing the above SYSTEM TEST. Remember to contact your central station if your system is monitored. 4. Plug the transformer into the AC outlet and secure with the restraining screw. (NOTE: the screw is not present on the models sold in Canada.) The National Fire Protection Association publishes a standard for fire warning equipment (NFPA publication #72). Further information can be obtained by contacting: NFPA Public Affairs Dept., Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269. If you have any further questions about the operation of your system, please contact your alarm company. - 19 - Recommendations On Smoke Detectors With regard to the number and placement of smoke/heat detectors, we subscribe to the recommendations contained in the National Fire Protection Association's (NFPA) Standard #72 noted below. Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection equipment in all rooms and areas of the household as follows: A smoke detector installed outside of each separate sleeping area, in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on each additional story of the family living unit, including basements and excluding crawl spaces and unfinished attics. In addition, the NFPA recommends that you install heat or smoke detectors in the living room, dining room, bedroom(s), kitchen, hallway(s), attic, furnace room, utility and storage rooms, basements, and attached garages.
