1.0 INTRODUCTION
Your Security System is an advanced technology security
system that will provide you with reliable security protection and
powerful features that are easy to use. The elegant and user-
friendly LCD Keypad will allow you easy access to your security
system's functions and information at the touch of a button. The
32-character LCD screen will display messages and menus to
guide you through the system’s operations. Your installer can
even customize the messages for your home or business.
Since you will communicate your instructions to your system
through the keypad, please read this manual carefully and have
your installer explain basic system operation.

2.0 BASIC OPERATION
Everything you need to know about your security system is
clearly displayed on the large LCD screen. The menus and the
prompt on the LCD screen provide simple, step-by-step
instructions on how to use your system and display what is
occurring in your system. The following sections will introduce
you to the roles of the buttons, the lights, and messages on your
LCD Keypad.
Figure 2-1: Basic Overview

LCD Keypad 9
2.1 AUDITORYFEEDBACK (BEEP TONES)
When you enter information on the keypad, the keypad will guide
you with beep tones to communicate acceptance or rejection of
your entries.
Confirmation Beep: When an operation (i.e. arming/disarming)
is successfully entered or when the system switches to a new
status/mode, the keypad emits an intermittent beep tone (“BEEP-
BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP”).
Rejection Beep: When the system reverts to previous status, or
when an operation is incorrectly entered, the keypad emits a tone
(“BEEEEEEEEEEP”).
2.2 KEYPAD INDICATORLIGHTS
The state of the two colored lights on the keypad (see Figure 2-1
page8) represents a specific condition in your system.
2.3 LCD SCREEN
The LCD (liquid crystal display) is a 32-character screen that
communicates messages, instructions, and the status of your
system. The backlight, contrast, and scrolling speed are
adjustable (see section 7.2). Your installer can customize many of
the messages to suit your needs.

to the system, the LCD screen will display the User Menu as
shown in Figure 2-3. From this menu you can access various
features and other menus. Depending on the User Options

2.4.1 Multiple-action
The Multiple-action feature permits you to complete more than one
action after entering the User Menu. If your installer has enabled this
feature, the LCD screen will return to the User Menu after each
action so you may perform another action without re-entering your
User Access Code. Press the buttonto exit the User Menu.
2.5 PARTITIONEDSYSTEM
Your installer can design your system to recognize up to four
separate protected areas. A separated system is called a
Partitioned System, which can be useful in situations where
shared security systems are more practical. For example, a
company that has both an office area and a warehouse area can
arm and disarm each area separately and control the access to
each area. Therefore, one person may have access to only one
area, whereas another person may have access to all areas.
Access to the areas is determined by the User Access Code.
2.6 AREASTATUSDISPLAY
In Area Status Display you will be able to see the status of the
areas in a Partitioned System (see section 2.5) for the area(s)
the keypad is assigned. If your LCD screen is in Confidential
Mode (see section 2.3.2), you must first press a button or enter
your User Access Code to activate Normal Mode depending on
how your keypad is programmed.

LCD Keypad 13
In Area Status Display the following will scroll on the LCD
screen:
•“ready”if all zones in the selected area are closed
•“not ready” if zones in the selected area are open
•open zones within that area
•“Trouble(s)” (see section 6.0) if a trouble has occurred
•“Alarms in Memory” (see section 4.3) if an alarm has occurred
How do I see the status of the zones?
1) Enter [ACCESS CODE]then press the button corresponding to
the area:
= Area 1 = Area 3
= Area 2 = Area 4
2) Press to exit.

3.0 ARMING
When the system is armed, the alarm system will respond to any
breach in the zones according to the zone’s programming. For
example, if someone opens a window that is armed, the alarm
system will trigger the alarm and can alert your Security Company.
3.1 EXITDELAYTIMER
When you arm the system, it will start the Exit Delay Timer to
provide you with enough time to exit the protected area before
the system is armed. The Status Light will flash green while the
time elapses.
The timer can be assigned different time limits and the keypad
can be programmed to display the time remaining and/or beep
while the time elapses on the timer. Discuss these options with
your installer.
3.2 REGULAR ARMING
This method is used for the everyday arming of the system. All
zones within the protected area must be closed to arm the
system. To check the status of the zones in each area, refer to
section 2.6 Area Status Display.

LCD Keypad 15
If enabled by the installer, the One-Touch Buttons
(section 3.6) or a keyswitch (section 3.7) can also be
used to arm the area.
3.3 STAYARMING
Stay Arming will partially arm your system to permit you to
remain in the protected area. Based on your instructions, your
installer will program specific zones as Stay Zones. These zones
will not arm when you Stay Arm. For example, you can arm your
doors and windows at home without arming the motion detectors
so you will be protected while you sleep. Only User Access
Codes with the Stay and Instant Arm option enabled can Stay
Arm the system. Also, see section 3.8 Auto-Arming for another
everyday arming option.
How do I Regular Arm the system?
1) Enter your [ACCESS CODE].

number, press the button for all areas, or use the
and buttons and press when the area you
want to arm appears.

on the LCD screen and the exit delay timer will begin the
countdown to arming.

16 User’s Manual

these zones are accidently triggered, the timer will start to allow
you time to disarm the area(s).

3.6) or a keyswitch (section 3.7) can be used to arm the area.
3.4 INSTANTARMING
This feature is similar to Stay Arming. Instant Arming will partially
arm your system to permit you to remain in the protected area, but
all zones, including the entry/exit point, are changed to instant
alarm zones. Therefore, if any armed zone is breached, the alarm
will instantly be triggered. Only User Access Codes with the Stay

protected area(s) with an Entry Delay Timer. If these zones are
accidently triggered, the timer will start to allow you enough time
to disarm the area(s).
If enabled by the installer, the One-Touch Buttons
(section 3.6) or a keyswitch (section 3.7) can also be
used to arm the area.
3.5 FORCEARMING
Force Arming allows you to arm your system when specific
zones are open. Certain zones can be programmed by the
installer to remain unarmed when you initiate Force Arming.
Once the open zone is closed, however, the system will then arm
it as well. Only User Access Codes with the Force Arm option

enabled can Force Arm the system. This feature is commonly
used when a motion detector is protecting an area that is
occupied by a keypad. During Force arming, the motion detector
will remain unarmed until you exit the area that it protects. The
system will then arm the motion detector.

3.7 KEYSWITCH ARMING
Your installer can add a keyswitch to arm and disarm your
system. The keyswitch can be programmed to Regular, Stay,
Force, or Instant Arm, and Disarm a specific area. The keyswitch
will also be programmed by the installer to function as a
Maintained or Momentary keyswitch.
