Congratulations on the installation of your new security system. No other investment can provide such peace of mind. Welcome
to the DS7400Xi intrusion/fire control system. Since each installation is unique, yours will contain some, but not necessarily all of
the features mentioned in this guide.
A security system usually consists of:
• A Control Panel: Thecontrolpanelisthecenterofyourintrusion/firealarmsystem.Itsupportssuchvitalfunctions
as receiving trouble and alarm signals from detectors, the sounding of bells and/or sirens, and
communicating with your alarm monitoring company.
• Command Control Stations (Keypads): The keypad is where you interact with the system. The keypad displays
critical information concerning the operation of your alarm system, plus it allows you to initiate
commands such as arming and disarming.
• Protected Zones: Your security system may contain protected windows and doors (perimeter zones), plus various
internal sensors. Your control panel separates perimeter zones from interior protection zones.
Specific protection devices may include:
• Glass Breakage sensors: Devices that detect the sound of breaking glass.
• Interior Motion sensors: Electronic sensors (i.e. passive infrared) that detect
movement within an interior zone.
• Magnetic Contacts: Switchesusedtodetecttheopeningofdoors or windows.
• Smoke Detectors: Devices that detect products of combustion.
This system includes a telephone line seizure feature. The system may be programmed to communicate with a central
monitoring station to report system events.You will not be able to use your phone while the system is communicating with
the central monitoring station. In the unlikely event that the central station is not able to receive the report, your phone may
be unavailable for up to 20 minutes while the panel makes additional communication attempts.

This chart explains the five normal ways to arm the system from a Standard keypad. (For a Master keypad see page 37.)
The green Status Light must be on steady and the display* must read “Ready to Arm” in order to arm the system with one of
these commands. If the green Status Light is not on, or if the display* is reading “Not Ready,”
see Force Arming or Zone Bypass for other ways to arm the system.
Note: In commercial burglar alarm applications for U.L. Listed systems, a ring-back indication and bell
test should be heard after arming (closing). If not heard, call for service.

This chart explains proper procedures for disarming and/or silencing alarms from a Standard keypad.
(To disarm from a Master keypad, see page 40.)
Please read the section about Emergency Procedures prior to being confronted with an emergency event.
If you have entered the building through a perimeter door, you may hear a steady pre-alert tone from the keypads.
If so, disarm according to the chart below.
WARNING: If the bells and sirens are on and/or the red Armed Light is flashing with the DS7447 display reading “Zone
Alarm,”then the keypad is signaling that an alarm has occurred sometime before your arrival. The keypad will also issue a
pulsed tone during the entry delay instead of the usual steady tone. If the alarm has not been previously investigated, do not
enter the building unless accompanied by the appropriate Emergency Services’ personnel.
When in Commercial Fire Mode,
entering your [PIN] followed by the [#] key a second time
allows you to locate the fire zone number(s) that is (are) in alarm.

This chart explains the procedure for Force Arming your
system if one or more zones are faulted.
When one or more zones are faulted, the system may be Force
Armed (if programmed) by bypassing the faulted zones. The
DS7447 display will read “Not Ready” and the DS7445's zone
LEDs (1-8) will be on when Force Arming is required to arm the
system.
Force Arming during an AC power failure: Regular arming
of the control panel is not permitted during an AC power failure.
Having to Force Arm serves as a warning that the control panel
is operating under backup battery.
WARNING
Bypassing or Force Arming removes some of your building’s
protection because it excludes the faulted zones from arming.
Therefore, an intrusion may not be detected or the detection
may be delayed. Always attempt to correct any zone problems
(close doors and windows, etc.) before using these features. If
the problem can not be corrected, contact your installing
company.
Note: See Zone Bypass for an alternate method of arming
the system when faults exist. Force arming is not
available in U.L. Listed systems.

This chart explains the procedure for bypassing a faulted zone prior to arming the system.
There may be occasions when it is desirable or necessary to temporarily bypass one or more zones prior to arming the system.
Bypass commands only work when the control panel is disarmed. For instance, an open window may cause the DS7447 dis-
play to read “Not Ready” followed by the zone number. The DS7445 may have one of its zone 1-8 LEDs on steady.
If more than one zone requires bypassing, simply enter the additional zone numbers.
Note: See Force Arming for another method of zone bypassing.
The zone number must be entered as a three digit number. Example: 001, 062, 125, etc.
Note: All bypasses are cleared when the system is disarmed, unless they are 24-hour zones.
To clear a bypass on a 24-hour zone, use one of the two methods above.
If bypassing is performed from a Master keypad, you must be in Single Partition Mode.

This section explains how to delay the Automatic ArmingTime.
To inform occupants that the system is about to arm, a pre-arming period will begin 15 minutes before the system arms auto-
matically. The keypad sounders, and any outputs programmed to follow the keypad sounders, will pulse five times every minute.
During the last five minutes before arming, these sounders will be on steady.
Once per minute the keypad (DS7447 only) will read, “Arm in nn min./PIN + OFF - extend.”
If automatic arming is used in Master Keypad mode, it will affect all partitions you have access to.
If used in single partition mode, or from a single partition keypad, it will affect only the partition you are working in.
To extend the Automatic Arming of the system during the automatic arming pre-arming period, perform the following steps:
Note: The keypad volume setting also applies to the Auto Arm tone.

This section explains how to cause the system to arm after a specified number of hours.
Delayed arming is simply causing the system to arm after a specified number of hours.
To program the system for delayed arming, perform the following steps:
Additional Notes: Delayed arming can be used even if there are no automatic arming times programmed.
If delayed arming is used in Master Keypad mode, it will affect all partitions you have access to. If delayed arming is used in single
partition mode, or from a single partition keypad, it will affect only the partition you are working in.
Delayed arming will override automatic arming. Delayed arming will also provide a 15 minute pre-arm period like the one provided
with automatic arming.

This chart explains the procedure for turning ON and turning OFF Chime Mode.
Chime Mode causes the keypad sounders to beep each time a Perimeter or Entry/Exit zone is violated
while the control panel is off (disarmed). The [#] [7] command is used to turn Chime Mode both off and on.
This will only activate or de-activate the keypad(s) in the partition you are entering from.
If this is performed from a Master keypad, you must be in Single Partition Mode.

This chart explains the procedure for activating devices that require an Access Control PIN.
Your system may use a keypad key sequence to activate other electrical devices.
The special PIN required to perform this function is known as an Access Control PIN.
This feature can be used in armed or disarmed modes.
Access PIN activations are recorded at the History Buffer.
The PIN may control devices that activate for a short period of time (i.e. electric locking mechanisms on a door).
This feature must be disabled on U.L. Listed systems.
The control is not a listed access control unit (UL294).
