Back Cover This manual is a step-by-step guide that will aquaint you with the system's features and benefits. It defines the components and their functions, describes their operation, and instructs you with normal and emergency procedures. Keep this manual in a convenient place so that you can refer to it as necessary. Ð3Ð SYSTEM OVERVIEW General Congratulations on your ownership of a First Alert Professional Security System. You've made a wise decision in choosing it, for it represents the latest in security protection technology today, including microcomputer technology to monitor all system status. Basically, this system offers you three forms of protection: burglary, fire and emergency. Your system may consist of at least one keypad which provides full control of system operation, plus various devices such as door and window sensors and motion detectors. It may also include a selected number of smoke or combustion detectors designed to provide early warning in case of fire. Your system may also have been programmed to automatically transmit alarm or status messages over the phone lines to a central alarm monitoring station. Your keypads allow you to control all system functions and feature a telephone style (digital) keypad and a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) that shows the nature and location of all occurrences and a built-in sounder which sounds during alarms and troubles. For additional information, see the following section: ABOUT THE KEYPADS. Your system's sensing devices have been assigned to various "zones". For example, the sensing device on your Entry/Exit door may have been assigned to zone 01, sensing devices on windows in the master bedroom to zone 02, and so on. These zone numbers will appear on the display when an alarm or trouble condition occurs. Keypads Zones Ð4Ð (continued) SYSTEM OVERVIEW Alarms When an alarm occurs, both the keypad and external sounders will sound, and a message at the keypad will identify the zone(s) causing the alarm. In addition, if your system is connected to a central monitoring station, an alarm message will be sent. To stop the alarm sounding, you simply disarm the system. The fire protection portion of your security system (if used) is always on and will sound an alarm if a fire condition is detected. Refer to the FIRE ALARM SYSTEM section for important information concerning fire protection, smoke detectors and planning emergency exit routes from your premises. The burglary protection portion of your system must be turned on or "armed" before it will sense burglary alarm conditions and sound an alarm. Your system can be armed in one of four modes: STAY, AWAY, INSTANT and MAXIMUM. Refer to the ARMING THE SYSTEM sections for instructions in using these modes of operation. Your system also provides a CHIME mode for alerting you to the opening and closing of doors and windows while the system is disarmed. When an alarm or trouble condition occurs, the keypad displays the number(s) of the zone(s) that caused the problem, and displays the type of alarm or trouble (ex. FIRE, ALARM, CHECK). The display remains until it is cleared by entering the OFF sequence (security code + OFF key) twice. If the paging feature has been programmed for your system, a pager will respond to certain conditions as they occur in your system, and display code numbers indicating the type of condition that has occurred, as follows: 1811 = Trouble 1911 = Alarm 1001 = Open 1002 = Close Check with your installer for additional information. Ð5Ð Fire Protection Burglary Protection Memory Of Alarm Pager Notification ABOUT THE KEYPADS Keypad Types All commands and procedures described herein are illustrated for FixedWord Display keypads, however, an Alpha Display keypad (with a 2-line LCD display for more detailed protection point identification and system status, but with similar commands and procedures) is available and might have been used instead. Fixed-Word keypads are available in two styles, A and B, either of which may have been used in your system. Although different in appearance, both styles are functionally similar. The keypads on style B keypads are located behind a flip-down door which can be removed, if desired. Words displayed on all Fixed-Word keypads are the same, except that their location in the display window differs slightly with each style. Note: Style B keypads are equipped with a READY indicator in place of the POWER indicator on style A keypads. The READY indicator is lit when the system is ready for arming (no protection zones open). While the system is disarmed, this indicator will go on and off as protection zones are opened and closed.

DISPLAY WINDOW: Displays protection zone ID and system status messages. 2. 1 OFF KEY : Disarms burglary portion of the system, silences alarms and audible trouble indicators, and clears visual display after problem's correction. AWAY KEY : Arms the entire burglary system, perimeter and interior. STAY KEY : Arms perimeter portion of burglary system only. Interior protection is not armed, which allows movement within premises without causing alarm. MAXIMUM KEY : Arms in manner similar to AWAY mode, but without the entry delay feature, thus providing maximum protection. An alarm will occur immediately upon opening any protection point, including the main door. TEST KEY : Tests the system and alarm sounder if disarmed. Refer to TESTING THE SYSTEM section for test procedures. BYPASS KEY : Removes individual protection zones from being monitored by the system. INSTANT KEY : Arms in manner similar to STAY mode, but without the entry delay feature. Entering via the main door will cause an instant alarm. 9. 10. 8 9 CODE KEY : Used to assign additional user codes for other users of the system. CHIME KEY : Turns CHIME mode on and off. When on, the opening of windows or doors while the system is disarmed will sound 3 beeps at the keypad(s). R E A D Y K E Y : Displays all open protection zones. KEY: "Quick Arm" key permits ARMING of the system without use of a security code (if so programmed). 3. 4. 2 3 11. 12. G # 5. 4 13. 14. 6. 5 7. 8. 6 7 KEYS 0Ð9: Used to enter your security code(s). READY INDICATOR: (GREEN) Lit when the system is ready to be armed (no faults present). While the system is disarmed, this indicator will go on and off as protection zones are closed and opened. Note: On some keypads (Style A) there is, instead, a POWER INDICATOR (GREEN) which is lit when AC power is present. If the indicator is off, the system may still be operating, but on its backup battery power. See Power Failure in TROUBLE CONDITIONS section. Keys 1 through 9 each perform their associated companion functions (OFF, AWAY, STAY, etc.) when preceded by an entry of the security code (as described later). Note: Ð8Ð 15. ARMED INDICATOR: (RED). Lit when the system has been armed (STAY, AWAY INSTANT or MAXIMUM). INTERNAL SOUNDER: The built-in keypad sounder mimics the alarm sounder during alarms, and will also "beep" during certain system functions. (see SUMMARY OF AUDIBLE/ VISUAL NOTIFICATION). EMERGENCY KEYS: Individual keys A, B, and C (key D not used). On some keypads, these keys are not present, and the following key pairs may be available, instead, for emergency functions: ÊG Ê & Ê # Ê , ÊG Ê & Ê 1 Ê , Ê # Ê & Ê 3 Ê Some or all of these keys/pairs may be programmed for panic functions by your installer (see PANIC KEYS section). 1 AWAY NO AC 16.

If 2 seconds elapses without a key depression, the entry is aborted and must be repeated from its beginning. 13 12 STYLE B KEYPAD Ð9Ð SECURITY CODES General At the time of installation, your installer programmed a personal four-digit Master code, known only to you and yours. This code is used to perform most system functions, including arming and disarming of the system. As an additional safety feature, temporary user codes can be assigned (see next page) for use by those not having a need to know the Master code. Note that the Master code remains in effect even when other user codes are assigned. This feature is intended for use when you are forced to disarm or arm the system under threat. When used, the system will act normally, but can silently notify the central station of your situation, if that service has been provided. The Duress code is defined as user number 8. Important: The Duress code is useful only when connected to a central station. If your system supports "Quick Arming", the "#" key can be pressed in place of the security code when arming the system. The security code is always required, however, when disarming the system. Duress Code Ask your installer if "Duress" is active for your system, and if so, check here: Ê Ê Ê Quick Arming Ask your installer if "Quick Arming" is active for your system, and if so, check here: Ê Ê Ê Ð10Ð SECURITY CODES To Assign, Change, or Delete User Codes 4-DIGIT USER CODES It is recommended that obvious codes such as 1 1 1 1 or 1 2 3 4 not be assigned. Important: Temporary users should not be shown how to use any system function they do not need to know (e.g., bypassing protection zones). 1. Enter your Master code and press the CODE key. 2. Enter single-digit User Number (2Ð7) for which a code is to be assigned, changed, or deleted. 3. If assigning or changing a user's code, enter the desired 4-digit code for use by that User Number. The keypad will beep once. If deleting a user's code, perform steps 1 & 2 and stop. In a few moments the keypad will beep once, indicating that the existing code has been deleted. To assign your Duress code, do the following: Enter your [Master code] + [8] + [8] + [desired 4-digit code]. The keypad will beep once. The Master code can be changed by the main user of the system. To change it, do the following: Enter your [Master code] + [8] + [1] + [new Master code] + [new Master code] again. The keypad will beep once.

When you arm your system, exit delay gives you time to leave through the main door without setting off an alarm. Entry delay gives you time to disarm the system when you reenter through the main door. The system must be disarmed, however, before the entry delay period ends, or an alarm will occur. The keypad will beep slowly during the entry delay period, reminding you to disarm the system. You can also arm the system with no entry delay at all by using either INSTANT or MAXIMUM arming modes. These modes can provide greater security while you are sleeping or while you are away for extended periods of time. See your installer for your delay times and record them here: Exit Delay: ÊÊÊÊ seconds Entry Delay: ÊÊÊÊ seconds Ð12Ð CHECKING FOR OPEN ZONES Using the Before your system can be armed, all protected doors, windows and other ÊÊGÊÊ READY Key protection zones must be closed or bypassed (see B Y P A S S I N G PROTECTION ZONES section), otherwise the keypad will display a "Not Ready" message, and if your keypad has a READY indicator light, it will not be lit. The READY key can be used to display all faulted zones, making it easier for you to secure any open zone. To display faulted zones, simply press and release the READY key (do not enter code first). Secure or bypass the zones displayed before arming the system. A "Ready" message will be displayed when all protection zones have been either closed or bypassed and the keypad's READY indicator light (if present) will be lit.

All bypasses are removed when an OFF sequence (security code plus OFF) is performed. This key is used when you want to arm your system with one or more zones intentionally unprotected. The system must be disarmed first. 1. Enter your security code and press the BYPASS key. 2. Enter zone number(s) for the zone(s) to be bypassed (e.g., 06, 10, 13, etc.). Single digit zone numbers must be preceded by a zero (e.g. 05, 06). 3. When finished, the keypad will display a "Bypass" message along with each bypassed zone number, accompanied by a beep for each. Wait for these zones to be displayed, to confirm their bypass. 4. Arm the system as usual. Bypassed zones are unprotected and will not cause an alarm if violated while your system is armed.

If you return after an alarm has occurred and the main sounder has shut itself off: the keypad will beep rapidly upon your entering, indicating that an alarm has occurred during your absence (the Memory of Alarm feature). LEAVE IMMEDIATELY, and CONTACT THE POLICE from a nearby safe location. WHEN SAFE TO DO SO, re-enter and follow the procedure for silencing an alarm. The OFF key is used to disarm the system and to silence alarm and trouble sounds. To Disarm the System Enter your security code and press the OFF key. The "Ready" message will be displayed, and the keypad will emit a single tone to confirm that the system is disarmed. To Silence a Burglary Alarm SEE IMPORTANT NOTE AT LEFT! Enter your security code and press the OFF key to silence the alarm (or warning tones of a Memory of Alarm). Note the zone in alarm on the keypad display, and make that zone intact (close door, window, etc.). Now enter the security code plus OFF sequence again to clear the keypad's Memory of Alarm display. If the display will not clear and does not provide a "Ready" message, notify the alarm agency. To Silence a Fire Alarm simply press the OFF key (the security code is not needed to silence FIRE alarms). To then clear the keypad's Memory of Alarm display, enter your security code and press the OFF key. See page 29 for additional fire alarm information. See the SUMMARY OF AUDIBLE/VISUAL NOTIFICATION section for information which will help you to distinguish between FIRE (Interrupted/Pulsed) and BURGLARY (Continuous/Steady) alarm sounds. Ð20Ð
