Thank YOU for choosing the 2900 Security control. When properly installed and maintained, the system will provide years of reliable operation. It should be noted however, that no security system provides total protection over life or property. The following is a list of precautions that should be adhered to: 1. Please read this manual entirely and keep it in a secure place. If you have any questions, contact your security representative right away. The system must be tested at least once per week to ensure proper operation. Contact your security representative for testing procedures and to schedule a regular maintenance program. If the system is malfunctioning, have service performed as soon as possible and only by qualified professionals. If alterations are made to the building's electrical system, be sure that changes are not made that could affect uninterruptable power to the control panel. If service is performed to the telephone system, test the system to be sure that communication to the central station is not interfered with. No security system can detect intrusion or other emergency conditions in all circumstances. Be sure to have your security representative instruct you on areas of vulnerability and recommendations for future upgrades to the system. Motion detectors are designed to detect specific types of motion within a defined area. Intruders cannot be detected in obstructed areas such as behind walls and closed doors. Be sure that you fully understand exactly what areas are and are not protected and under what conditions (temperature and time variations, etc.). Smoke detection devices cannot detect all types of fire, nor do they perform under alI circumstances. Have your security representative explain the limitations of the fire system to you and your family. Have smoke detectors cleaned and tested on a regular basis. Security systems rely upon AC as a primary power source. When AC fails, the control will be powered by a standby battery. For this reason, the standby battery should be checked and replaced by a qualified service technician at regular intervals. The system is capable of being armed with AC power absent. The system could then fail if the battery voltage falls below the acceptable range, before AC power is restored. It should be noted that it is possible to arm the system with the standby battery disconnected. If the control station "Trouble" light is ever on, contact your security representative immediately to determine the nature of the "Trouble" condition. If upon returning to the building it is discovered that an alarm has occurred, DO NOT ENTER THE PREMISES. Get to the nearest telephone immediately and contact the proper authorities. Be sure to inform your neighbors that a security system has been installed. Also explain the meanings of the various audible signals and ask them to contact the appropriate authorities upon activation of an alarm. U.L. requires audible burglar alarms to be provided by a bell and fire alarms to be provided with a horn. For combination burglar and fire alarm systems, the sounder will emit a steady tone for fire alarms and a pulsing tone for burglar alarms. The fire alarm signal takes priority over the burglar bell. U.L. Requirements: Exit time may not exceed 60 seconds. Entrance time may not exceed 45 seconds. Cut-off time for siren/bell cannot be less than 4 minutes. Your system is programmed as follows: Exit Time = s e c o n d s Entrance T i m e = seconds 2. I. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15.

Alarm Co: Police: Fire: Alarm Indicator If lighted, an alarm has occurred. Emergency Panic Keys PANIC A = PANIC B = PANIC C = NOTE: The Emergency Panic Keys may or may not be active. Check with your security representative for details. Operating Your System ARMING Before the control can be armed, all of the intrusion zones must be secure as indicated by the green READY indicator. If the READY indicator is off, one or more zones are faulted. The indicator(s) corresponding to the faulted zone(s) will light. Use the pull out zone I.D. card on the control station to determine the areas of protection which are assigned to each of the six (6) zones, thencheckthe appropriate doors and windows to see that they are closed. 1. Verify that the READY indicator is on. 2. Enter your User Code. 3. The control station will begin beeping and the red ARMED indicator will blink to indicate that arming will take place after the exit time expires. (The ARMED indicator will light steady after the system arms). 4. Leave the building immediately. The control is programmed with an exit delay time which allows a specific amount of time to leave through any delay defined intrusion detection zone without causing an alarm. Be sure that you have been informed on routes to enter and exit from without causing an alarm. If too much time is taken to exit, the beeping tone will change to a steady tone, indicating the start of entry delay. Disarm the control and start over to avoid a false alarm. Your security system is divided into two areas of protection: 1. PERIMETER-Thefirstlineofdefense. Consistsofoneormorezoneswhich detect intrusion through doors and windows. 2. INTERIOR - The backup or second line of defense. Consists of one or more zones that detect intruders that have already entered the building. Interior detection devices usually consist of motion detection devices, interior door contacts, and under carpet sensors, designed to surprise the intruder. prior to arming the control, you may first choose to turn off the interior protection, allowing free movement within the building when armed. 3 ;I Turning Off the lnterlor Zones and Entrance Delay Control station key 4 may be used to turn the interior zones off prior to arming. This will allow the system to alarm instantly if the entrance door is opened, while armed. 1. Press the 4 key and hold for three seconds. 2. When interior defined zones are turned off, the corresponding Zone indicators will flash. The flashing will stop 30 seconds after the system is armed. 3. Arm the system by entering your User Code. Note: Upon disarming, the interior zones automatlcally w-enable unless your Installer has altered this feature through programming. Q Automatic Interior Off/Delay Off Your system may have been programmed to automatically turn the interior zones off if you arm and do not leave the premises before the exit delay time expires. The entrance delay may also be programmed to automatically turn off at this time. When the system is disarmed, the interior and delay wilI return to their normal on or off state. See your security representative for details. Q Two Digit Arming Your system may have been programmed with an abbreviated arming feature. When this feature is enabled, only the first two digits of your User Code will be required to arm the system and perform other features. Disarming however, will still require the entire code sequence. If the READY indicator is off, one or more detection devices such as a door or window has been left open. The system cannot be armed. One or more of the six ZONE indicators will also be lighted indicating the area of protection that is at fault. Use the pull out zone I.D. card on the control station to define the area of protection assigned to each zone. NOTE: If an attempt Is made to arm the system with the READY light off, a three second error tone wilt be emltted to alert you that the system did not arm. 4 DISARMING Your system is programmed with one or more entrance delay zones which allow time to enter the premises without causing an alarm. Each delay door may be programmed with a different entry time. Be sure to check with your installer. Note: If your system has the "Interior Follower" feature enabled, all interior designated zones automatically become delay zones whenever you first enter through a delay zone. This allows you to walk In front of motion detectors on the way to the control station after you enter. 1. After entering the premises through a delay zone, the control station will sound a continuous tone to remind you to disarm the system. CAUTION: If the ALARM indicator is lighted, an alarm has occurred. Leave the premises immediately and go to the nearest phone to contact the appropriate authorities. Do not procede into the premises. 2. Enter your User Code. 3. The red armed light should turn off indicating that the system is disarmed. Testing the Burglar and Fire Alarm Audibles UL listed burglar and fire alarm systems which have separate audible sounding devices require a weekly test. Notify the Central Station or the appropriate authorities before and after conducting the test. Use the following procedures. Burglar alarm 1. Arm the system by following the instructions on the preceding pages. 2. Upon expiration of the exit delay open a non-delayed door, window, or motion detector. The sounding device will activate. To reset, follow the instructions on disarming the system. Fire alarm 1. Follow the procedure for activation of the auxiliary alarms as outlined on page 7 of this manual. 5 ALARM CONDITIONS Whenever an alarm occurs, the ALARM indicator will light, the audible alarm will sound (if applicable), and the control wilI communicate with the central station (if this option was purchased). NOTE: If upon returning to the premises it 1s discovered that an alarm has occurred, DO NOT ENTER THE PREMISES. Leave immediately and go to the nearest phone and contact the appropriate authorities. 0 To reset the alarm: 1. Enter your User Code to reset the ala ...
