SYSTEM OVERVIEW
General Congratulations on your ownership of an Ademco Security System. You’ve
made awise decision in choosing it, for it represents the latest in security
protection technology today, including microcomputer technology to monitor the
system’s status at all times. Ademco is the world’s largest manufacturer of
security systems and millionsof premises are protected by Ademco systems.
Basically, this system offers you three forms of protection -burglary, fire and
emergency, Your system consists of at least one console which provides full
control of system operation, plus various devices such as door and window
sensors and motion detectors. It may also include aselected number of smoke
or combustion detectors designed to provide early warning in case of fire.
Consoles Your consoles allow you to control all system functions, and feature a
telephone style (digital) keypad, aLiquid Crystal Display (LCD) that shows the
nature and location of all occurrences, and abuilt-in sounder which sounds
during alarms and troubles. Your System can use either the Fixed-Word
Display console or the Alpha Display console (see ABOUT THE CONSOLES).
Unless stated otherwise, all commands and procedures apply equally to both
types of Consoles.
Protection zones Your system’s sensing devices have been assigned to various “protection
zones”. For example, the sensing device on your designated Entry/Exit door
may have been assigned to zone 01, sensing devices on awindow in the
master bedroom to zone 02, and so on. These zone numbers will appear on
the console display when an alarm or trouble condition occurs.

SYSTEM OVERV9EW
Fire Protection The fire protection portion of your security system (if used) is always on, and
sounds an alarm if afire condition is detected. Refer to the F/RE ALARM
SYSTEM section for important information concerning fire protection, smoke
detectors and planning emergency exit routes.
Burglary The burglary protection portion of your system must be turned on or “armed”
Protection before it can 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 ARM//VG sections for instructions in using these modes of
operation. The principal differences between these four arming modes will be
seen in the chart below.
SUMMARY OF ARMING MODES
Arming Features For Each Arming Mode
Mode ExitDelay Entry Delay Perimeter Armed Interior Armed
AWAY Yes Yes Yes Yes
STAY Yes Yes Yes No
INSTANT Yes No Yes No
MAXIMUM Yes No Yes Yes
Alarms When an alarm occurs, both the console and external sounders sound, and the
console displays the protection zone(s) causing the alarm. If your system is
connected to acentral monitoring station, an alarm message is also sent. To
stop the alarm sounding, simply disarm the system.

ABOUT THE CONSOLES
Console Types There are two basic types of consoles – a FIXED-M/0f3D console and an
ALPHA console. Either (or both) of these console types may have been used in
your particular system. Both types feature a multifunction, backlit 12-key digital
keypad, and aLiquid Crystal Display (LCD). Abuilt-in sounder emits alarm
sounds during alarm conditions, and produces warning tones during entry and
exit delay periods, This sounder also provides acknowledgment tones when
keys are pressed, and confirmation tones for successful command entries.
Console Styles Fixed-Word and Alpha consoles are available in two styles, Aand 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” consoles are
located behind aflip-down door which can be removed, if desired. Message
displays on all Alpha consoles are identical; words displayed on all Fixed-Word
consoles are the same, except that their location in the display window will
differ slightly with each style. All available consoles are shown on the right.
The Style “B”Alpha console, with an appropriate message display, is depicted
in the instructions throughout this manual; in each case, however, it is always
accompanied by the equivalent message display on aFixed-word console.
Unless noted otherwise,all procedures in this manual apply equally to all
conso/e types and styles.
The Alpha Alpha consoles feature a2-line, 32-character fully programmable alphanumeric
Console Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) which can display the nature and location of all
(All Styles) occurrences in friendly English. Abbreviated User’s instructions can also be
displayed on an Alpha console’s display screen (see SELF-HELP FEATURE
on page 33). This feature is useful if this Manual is not accessible when you
need to perform aprocedure with which you are not familiar.

The Fixed-Word FIXED-WORD display consoles are functionally similar to ALPHA Consoles,
Console except that their LCD displays use pre-designated fixed words to identify the
(All Styles) nature and location of all occurrences. This type of console does not include
the self-help feature that is available in the ALPHA console.

OFF KEY: Used to disarm the burglary portion of
the system, silence alarms and audible trouble
tones, and clear visual displays after aproblem has
been corrected.
AWAY KEY: Used to arm the entire burglary
system, perimeter and interior.

the burglary system only. Interior protection is not
armed, which allows movement within your
premises without causing an alarm. Entry delay
feature is in effect.
MAX (MAXIMUM) KEY: Used to arm in manner
similar to AWAY mode, but without the entry delay
feature, for maximum protection. An alarm will
occur immediately upon opening any protection
point, including adesignated Entry/Exit door (or
doors).

and doors will produce 3tones at the Console(s).
[*] READY KEY: Used to display all open
protection zones. This key is also used to display all
protection zone descriptions that have been
programmed for Alpha consoles in your system, by
holding the key down for at least 5seconds.
[#] KEY: “Quick Arm” key permits ARMING of the
system without the use of asecurity code (if
programmed to do so).
KEYS O-9: Used to enter your security code(s).
