About This User’s Guide
This user’s guide shows you how to use and maintain your security
system.It covers basic system 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. The keypad shows point status through the lights
numbered 1 to 8 on the keypad display.Each point can represent a
single door, window, motion sensor, smoke detector, or other detection
device.
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 will
usually want all of the points in your system to be normal.You can turn
your system on with faulted points by using the Bypassing Points (on
page 16) procedure.
The keypad shows faulted points by lighting the point status display
(numbered one through eight).
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
can turn on all controlled points (All On) or just some of the controlled
points (Part On).
All On
When you turn your systemAll 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.

6
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 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 points are always on and cannot be turned off.
Keypad Keys
Your keypad has fifteen keys.These keys perform various functions, as
described below.

Keypad Lights
The keypad uses lights to indicate various conditions,such as whether
your system is on or off,the status of protective points,whether there is
a system trouble,and whether there is an alarm.
Light Function
On Lights when the system is All or Part On.Flashes during
exit delay and when an alarm occurs
No Delay Lights when the system is All or Part On without entry or
exit delay.Flashes during Step Outside function.
1 to 8 Point lights show the status of each point.When a point
light is on steadily, that point was turned on.When the
point light is blinking, the point is faulted.When the point
light is flashing, an alarm is indicated.
All Lights when the system is All On.When the system is off,
the All light comes on when all points are ready to turn on
(no doors or windows are open). Blinks when turning All
On with door or windows open.
Part Lights when the system is Part On. When the system is off,
lights when Part points are ready to turn on. Flashes when
changing passcodes.
OK Flashes when an alarm occurs.Blinks when there is system
trouble.

8
Keypad Tones
Your keypad emits several distinct tones and flashes keypad lights 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
repeatedly emits a warble tone that is on for 1 sec., 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.The tone sounds for the time set by your security
company.
3. Trouble Tone: When a system component is not functioning
properly,your keypad repeatedly emits a warble tone that is 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 do not 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 was entered.The keypad emits a single,
high-pitched beep tone for 1 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 on page
19).

9
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 one second,
then briefly off. 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 tone sounds for the time set by your security
company.
The keypad lights the point lights of the points that go 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 lights the point lights of the points that go into alarm.
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 display blinks the OK light to indicate the presence of
system trouble. See Checking System Troubles (on page 21) 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 display blinks the OK light to indicate the presence of a
system trouble. See Checking System Troubles (on page 21) to determine
the nature of the trouble.

10
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,your security system returns the telephones to
normal operation (check with your security company).
Your system makes repeated attempts to send reports to your security
company.In the event your system fails to report, the keypad signals a
system trouble. Follow the (Checking System Troubles on page 21)
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.
Silencing Alarms
When there is an alarm,the alarm tone sounds and the point or points
in alarm light up. If you enter your passcode before the system dials your
alarm company, the alarm is canceled.
1. When an alarm occurs, the OK light and point lights (1 through
8) flash.For example if point 4 produces the alarm event, then
point 4 flashes:
2. Enter your passcode to silence the alarm. If you enter your
passcode before the system dials your alarm company, the alarm
is canceled and the OK light stops flashing. If the OK light
continues to flash, an alarm report was sent to your alarm
company.
3. Use Viewing Alarm Memory (on page 17) to review the points
that caused the alarm.Use Resetting The System (on page 18) to
reset the OK light and clear alarm memory.

11
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.
1. When the systemis on, the On light is lit. If the system is All On,
the All light is lit.
If the system is Part On, the On and Part lights are lit.
2. Enter your passcode to turn the system off.The keypad emits the
OK tone.

12

Selecting Watch Tone
Your system gives you the ability to watch points when it’s turned off,
meaning that it can be programmed to alert you to opened doors and
windows.For example,parents with small children may want a tone to
be sounded whenever a door or window is opened as a way of
monitoring the whereabouts of the kids.
Use this feature to set the type of response your system produces when a
watch point is faulted.For example,you can tell your system to blink a
light and sound a short tone whenever certain doors or windows are
opened.Use the Selecting Watch Points (on page 20) feature to specify
which points in your system are to be watched.To select a watch tone:
1. Make sure the system is off (On light is off).

Selecting Watch Points
Once you decide how your system responds to watched points (see
Selecting Watch Tone on page 19),you need to decide which points in
your system are to be watched. Use this feature to tell your system which
points to watch.You cannot watch fire points.
Choosing which points to watch depends upon your goals.If you have
small children, you may choose to watch points of entry and exit. Each
time a watch point is faulted (door or window is opened) the keypad
responds as programmed. For example, you can tell your system to
produce a short beep when a watch point is faulted (see Selecting Watch
Tone on page 19).
