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.
