About This User’s Guide
This User’s Guide shows you how to use and maintain your security
system. It covers basic functions, such as turning the system on and off.
The functions described in this guide are programmed by your security
company. Some of them may not be included in your system. Some of
the functions covered may require you to enter your personal passcode.
Introduction
Your system helps to secure life, property, and investments against fire,
theft, and bodily harm. It consists of a keypad (or keypads), sensors
such as motion detectors or devices located on doors and windows, and
other sensing devices designed to detect the presence of smoke or
combustion. Each of these devices is connected to a sophisticated
electronic “brain,” which processes all events registered by the system.
Control of your security system is achieved through the keypad, which
offers a variety of basic and advanced features. Its function, versatility,
and ease of operation, make it ideal for home or office. The keypad is
tailored to meet your individual needs. Moreover, it has been designed
with you, the user, in mind.

Security System Basics
What is a Point?
A “point” is a detection device, or group of devices connected to your
security system. Points are identified by the area they monitor, such as
front door, bedroom window, or hallway. View the current status of
each point in your system through the keypad’s display.
What is a “Faulted” Point?
When a point (such as a door or window) is closed, it is said to be
“normal.” When the door or window is open, the point is said to be
“faulted,” or not normal. When you turn your system on, you usually
want all of the points in your system to be normal, although you can
turn your system on with faulted points by using the Bypass Points
procedure.
You can see whether there are faulted points by pressing [CLEAR] when
the system is off.
Are All Points the Same?
No. There are two basic types of points, Controlled and 24-hour.

Controlled Points
Controlled points respond to alarm conditions depending upon
whether the system is turned on or turned off. They are programmed to
either respond instantly to alarm conditions or to provide a delay for
you to reach the keypad and turn the system off. Various controlled
points may be located throughout your house. When you turn your
system on, you have the option of turning on all controlled points (All
On) or just some of the controlled points (Part On).
All On
When you turn your system All On, you are turning on all controlled
points, both interior (motion detectors) and exterior (doors and
windows of the building).
Part On
When you turn your system Part On, you are turning on a portion of
the controlled points. The particular points included in this portion are
determined by your alarm company. Part points may include only the
exterior (doors and windows) of your system, or the points on the first
floor of a two story house. Check with your security company to learn
which points are Part points.

24-Hour Points
24-hour points are always on, even when the system is turned off. There
are two types of 24-hour points, fire points and Non-fire points.
Fire Points
Fire points only monitor fire detection devices, such as smoke
detectors. They are always on and cannot be turned off.
Non-fire 24-Hour Points
Non-fire 24-hour points are always on and cannot be turned off.
Keypad Keys
Your keypad has fifteen keys. These keys perform various functions, as
described below.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0
Each of the numeric keys performs a different function. For a

Keypad Tones
Your keypad emits several distinct tones and displays text to alert you to
system events. Additional bells or sirens may also be connected to your
system. Bells or sirens mounted on the exterior of your premises alert
neighbors to emergencies and provide an audible guide for police and
fire fighters.
1. Fire Alarm Tone: When a fire point activates, the keypad emits
a repeated warble tone (on for one second, then briefly off).
2. Burglary Alarm Tone: When a burglary point activates while
your system is turned on, your keypad emits a continuous
warble tone. It sounds for the time set by your security
company.
3. Trouble Tone: When a system component is not functioning
properly, your keypad emits a repeated warble tone (on briefly,
followed by a pause, followed by the warble tone). If the
problem is with a point, the system display indicates which
point is faulted.
4. Keypress Tone: Pressing any key on the keypad sounds a short
pip, indicating that the entry is accepted.
5. Entry Delay Tone: When you enter the premises through a
point programmed for entry delay, the keypad emits a repeating
short beep, long beep tone to remind you to turn off your
system. If the system is not turned off before the entry delay
expires, an Alarm Report may be sent to your alarm company.
6. Exit Delay Tone: After you turn your system on, the keypad
emits an intermittent beep tone and counts down the exit delay
time. If you don’t exit before the delay time expires, and an exit
delay door is faulted, an alarm occurs.
7. Error Tone: If you press an incorrect key, your keypad emits an
error tone to indicate an invalid entry. The error tone is the
same warble tone as the Trouble Tone, but it is not repeated.
8. OK Tone: Indicates that a keypad entry is accepted; for example,
that a correct passcode has been entered. The keypad emits a
single, high-pitched beep tone for one second.
9. Watch Tone: The keypad emits a tone to alert you when any
watched point is faulted. The tone varies in duration, depending
upon the Watch Tone selected (see Selecting Watch Tone).

7
System Events
Your system responds to four types of events. If more than one event
occurs, your system sorts them into one of four groups. The groups
(highest priority first) are: Fire Alarms, Burglary Alarms, Fire Troubles,
and Non-fire Troubles.
Fire Alarms
Fire alarms are the highest priority events. When a fire point activates,
your keypad repeatedly emits a warble tone that is on for 1 sec., then
briefly off. The tone sounds for the time set by your security company.
Evacuate all occupants and investigate for smoke or fire. Ensure that all
occupants know the difference between the burglary tone and the fire
tone. The keypad display shows the first point that went into alarm.
Press [ ] to manually display additional points (if any) that went into
alarm.
Burglary Alarms
Burglary alarms are the second priority. When a burglary point
activates while your system is turned on, your keypad emits a constant
warble tone. The tone sounds for the time set by your security
company.
The keypad display shows each burglary point that went into alarm.
Press [ ] to manually scroll the list if you wish. Events scroll from the
oldest to the newest.
Fire Trouble Events
When a fire trouble (such as a loose wire) occurs, your keypad
repeatedly emits a trouble tone, which is a warble tone that is on briefly,
then followed by a pause, followed by the warble tone.
The keypad displays the SYSTEM TROUBLE message. See Checking
System Troubles to determine the nature of the trouble.
Non-Fire Trouble Events
When a trouble event such as a power failure occurs, your keypad
repeatedly emits a trouble tone, which is a warble tone that is on briefly,
followed by a pause, followed by the warble tone.
The keypad displays the SYSTEM TROUBLE message. See Checking
System Troubles, to determine the nature of the trouble.

8
How Your System Reports Alarms
Your security system may be programmed to automatically disconnect
your telephones when sending reports to your security company. Once
the report is completed, the system returns the telephones to normal
operation (check with your security company).
Your system makes repeated attempts to send reports to your security
company. If your system fails to report, the keypad signals a system
trouble. Follow the Checking System Troubles procedure.
Note: If your telephone service is interrupted, your security system
cannot send reports to your security company unless it has an alternate
means of transmitting them.
Keypad Backlighting
You can choose to have the keypad’s display constantly backlit (Option
1), or to have the display light when a key is pressed (Option 2). When
(Option 2) is chosen, the display times out after twenty seconds.
To change the current setting, press and hold [CLEAR] for five seconds.
If you’re changing the backlighting from Option 1 to Option 2, you see
the backlight go off. If changing from Option 2 to Option 1, you hear a
short beep to indicate the change.
Checking System Status
When the system is off, pressing [CLEAR] shows current system status.
The following messages might appear:
SYSTEM OK Indicates that the system is ready to turn on.
NOT READY TO TURN ON Indicates that a Part point is faulted.
Either return the point to normal or turn the system on with
points open (see Bypass Points).
NOT READY TO TURN ALL ON Indicates that an All point is
faulted. You can either turn the system Part On, return the
point to normal, or turn the system on with points open (see
Bypass Points).
ALARM MEMORY Indicates that an alarm event was placed into
memory (see Viewing Alarm Memory).

9
Silencing Alarms
When there is an alarm, the alarm tone sounds and the point or points
in alarm are shown in the display. If you enter your passcode before the
system dials your security company, the alarm is canceled.
1. The point in alarm is shown on the display:
ALARM PT 8

10
Turning the System Off
You turn off your security system by entering your personal passcode.
When the system is on, you must enter through a designated entry door
to prevent an instant alarm condition. Opening a designated door starts
entry delay time and the keypad emits a pulsing beep tone to remind
you to turn the system off. Enter your passcode before the delay time
expires to turn the system off.
If you enter through the wrong door or fail to turn the system off before
the entry delay time expires, you may cause an alarm. If this happens,
silence the alarm (by entering your personal passcode) and call your
security company to let them know that it is not an emergency
situation.
