PROPER INTRUSION PROTECTION For proper intrusion coverage, sensors should be located at every possible point of entry to a home or commercial premises. This would include any skylights that may be present, and the upper windows in a multi-level building. In addition, we recommend that radio backup be used in a security system so that alarm signals can still be sent to the Central Monitoring Station in the event that the telephone lines are out of order (alarm signals are normally sent over the phone lines). EARLY WARNING FIRE DETECTION Early warning fire detection is important in a home. Smoke and heat detectors have played a key role in reducing fire deaths in the United States. With regard to the number and placement of smoke/heat detectors, we subscribe to the recommendations contained in the National Fire Protection Association's National Fire Alarm Code (NFPA 72). These recommendations can be found on page 43 of this manual. $ERXW7KLV0DQXDO This manual is a step-by-step guide that will acquaint you with the system's features and benefits. It defines the components and their functions, describes their operation, and provides clear step-by-step instructions for normal and emergency procedures. Keep this manual in a convenient place so that you can refer to it as necessary. ­2­ 7DEOHRI&RQWHQWV System Overview

You've made a wise decision in choosing it, for it represents the latest in security protection technology today. This system provides: · Three forms of protection: burglary, fire* and emergency · At least one keypad which provides control of system and displays system status · Various sensors for perimeter and interior burglary protection · Smoke or combustion detectors* designed to provide early warning in case of fire. Your system may also have been programmed to automatically send alarm or status messages over the phone lines to a Central Monitoring Station. * Commercial installations and some residential systems may not include fire protection ­ check with your installer. NOTE: The features and procedures described in this manual apply to both the FA168C and FA148CP security systems. Differences are noted where applicable. 6\VWHP%DVLFV Burglary Protection · Several modes of burglary protection: Stay, Night-Stay, Away, Instant, Maximum. STAY: arms perimeter zones only and entry delay is on INSTANT: same as STAY, except entry delay is off NIGHT-STAY: arms perimeter zones and selected interior zones; entry delay on AWAY: arms perimeter and all interior zones, entry delay is on MAXIMUM: same as AWAY, except entry delay is off · You can BYPASS selected zones while leaving the rest of the system armed. · CHIME mode alerts you to the opening of protected doors and windows while the system is disarmed. Fire Protection · Fire protection is always active (if installed) and an alarm sounds if a fire condition is detected · If necessary, you can manually initiate a fire alarm using the keypad (if programmed). · Refer to the Fire Alarm System section for information regarding fire protection, smoke detectors and planning emergency exit routes. Security Codes · You were assigned a 4-digit security code during system installation. · Use your security code when arming and disarming the system, and when performing other system functions. · Other users can be assigned different security codes, each with different authority levels, which define the system functions a particular user can perform. ­5­ 6\VWHP2YHUYLHZ&RQWLQXHG Zones and Partitions · The system sensing devices have been assigned to various "zones," which are specific areas of protection (e.g., front door, kitchen window, etc.). · Zone numbers are displayed at the keypad when an alarm or trouble condition occurs on a sensor. · Partitions (FA168C) provide two independent areas of protection, with each partition containing a group of zones that can be armed and disarmed without affecting other zones or users. · Partitioned systems (FA168C) can include a common zone area, which is an area shared by users of both partitions (such as a lobby in a building). Arming, Step-Arming and Disarming Burglary Protection · The system must be armed before the burglary protection can sense intrusions. · To arm your system, enter your user code followed by the desired arming key. · If programmed, the [#] key can be pressed instead of entering the security code when arming the system. · You can also use the step-arming key, if programmed, to arm the system, which lets you use a function key to arm the system in one of three modes by simply pressing the key repeatedly. · ...
