Introduction
XTL, XTLN, XTLN-WiFi, and XTLC Systems
ThisGuidecoversoperationoftheXTL,XTLN,XTLN-WiFi,andXTLC
systems.
About Your Security System
Yoursystemisdesignedwithyoursafetyandcomfortinmind.Ituses
the latest in computer technology to create the most advanced,
userfriendly,wirelesssecurityandresystemavailable.
The system combines ease of use with a simple to understand
keypad display to offer the full range of features requested by
today’s security systemowners.Yoursecuritysystem can protect
both the interior and perimeter of your home or business while you
are away or just the perimeter when you are inside, giving you a
wall of security and peace of mind.
Youcanturnportionsofyourprotectiononoroffatanytimeby
pressingafewkeys.Youcanadd,delete,andchangepersonaluser
codes at any time or check the status of all protection devices in
the system.
Keypads
This is the device we have placed at certain locations throughout
the premises that allows you to turn the system protection on and
off using your personal user code.
Keypad User Menu
The keypad provides a simple User Menu containing all of the
functions you need to fully operate your system such as performing
a system test or changing a personal user code.
A Note About False Alarms
One of the most important concerns facing the security industry
today is false alarms. The accidental dispatching of police and
re agencies places others in jeopardy by limiting the response
capability of those emergency service units.
As part of our commitment to reducing false alarms, we would like
to encourage you to read this guide thoroughly. All the information
contained here can help you quickly, and comfortably, learn the
XTL Series system operation.
Note: There may be a 30-second alarm communication delay
pre-programmedatinstallationtoallowdisarmingifafalsealarm
occurs. This delay is optional and can be removed or increased to
45 seconds by your alarm dealer.
Test Your System Weekly
It is recommended that you test the burglary portion of your system
at least once each week. Testing should involve an active test of all
doors, windows, and motion detectors connected to your system.
Ifyoursystemalsohasreprotection,calltheservicedepartment
tondouthowthisportionofyoursystemshouldbetested.
Refer to the System Test section of this guide for instructions on
testing the burglary portion of your system.

Practice your escape plans
Devising an escape plan is only the beginning. For the plan to be
effective everyone should practice escape routes from each room.

First Floor
Fire Escape
Window Ladder
Figure 1: Sample Escape Route Map
Early detection
The best way to survive a re or other emergency is to get out
early. A re alarm system installation, with smoke and carbon
monoxide detectors in each room, can greatly decrease your risk
of loss or injury.
Emergency Evacuation Plans
Overview
The National Fire Protection Association recommends that you
establish an emergency evacuation plan to safeguard lives in the
eventofareorotheremergency.
Draw a floor plan of your home or business
On a clean sheet of paper, draw the walls, windows, doors, and
stairs. Also draw any obstacles that a person may encounter while
exiting the building such as large furniture or appliances.
Develop escape routes
Determine at least two routes the occupants in each room can
taketosafelyescape.Oneroutecanbethemostobvioussuchas
the door. Another can be through an easily opened window. If the
window is high off the ground, an escape ladder should be provided.
Draw arrows on the oor plan to show escape routes from each
room.
Decide where to meet
Prearrange a meeting place outside and away from where
emergency personnel are likely to be working. A neighbor’s house
or across the street in front of the house are good locations.Always
perform a head count to make sure all occupants safely exited.
NEVERENTERA BURNING BUILDING. If the head countshowsone
or more persons missing, give this information immediately to the
authorities.Neverenterabuildingtolookforsomeone.
