Introduction XR150FC/XR550FC User’s Guide 1
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 oorplan of your home or business
On a sheet of paper, draw the walls, windows, doors, and stairs.
Also draw any obstacles, such as large furniture or appliances, a
person may encounter while exiting the building.
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 a window that can be easily opened.
If the window is high off the ground, an escape ladder should be
provided. Draw arrows on the oorplan 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 the 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.
Practice your escape plans
Devising an escape plan is only the beginning, before the plan can
be effective everyone should practice the escape routes from each
room.
Second Floor
Building Front Building Back
First Floor
Fire Escape
Window Ladder
Early detection
The best way to survive a re or other emergency is to get out
early. The installation of a re alarm system, with smoke and
carbon monoxide detectors in each room, can greatly decrease
your risk of loss or injury.

Special Fire Command Center Displays
As you use your system, you occasionally see a display that asks you
to enter a code or that describes a condition on the system. Below
are some examples of the displays:
ALARM
A 24-hour zone (for example re or panic) or an armed burglary
zone has been tripped. Your system may sound bells or sirens.
ALARM NOT SENT (Burglary Keypad)
The alarm signal was not sent to the central station because a user
code was entered to disarm the system before the alarm signal was
sent to the central station.
ALARM CANCELLED (Burglary Keypad)
An Alarm Cancel signal was sent to the central station because
a user code was entered after an alarm was sent to the central
station.
SILENCED
An Alarm Silence has been performed to turn off the notication
appliances. Zone names are displayed on the bottom line of the
keypad display.
SUPVSRY (SUPERVISORY)
A Supervisory type zone alarm has occurred. The zone name is
displayed on the bottom line of the keypad display.
TROUBLE
There is a problem with a protection device or system component.
This display is accompanied by a description of the problem.
ENTER CODE
The system requires you to enter your user code. User codes can be
required for turning your system on (arming), turning your system
off (disarming), and many other functions.
As you enter your user code, the keypad display shows an asterisk
(*) in place of each digit pressed. This keeps others from seeing
your user code on the display as it is entered.
TRY AGAIN or INVALID CODE
The user code you have entered is not recognized by the system.
Check the user code and try again.
INVALID PROFILE
All user codes have a prole that allow the user to only access
certain functions. When users attempt functions outside their
authority, the INVALID PROFILE message displays.
INVALID AREA
A user has attempted a door access for an area they are not
assigned.
INVALID TIME
A user code assigned to a specic schedule is entered outside of the
valid schedule. See Schedules and User Codes.
ARMED AREA
A user has attempted a door access to an armed area to which they
do not have arming and disarming authority.

Introduction XR150FC/XR550FC User’s Guide 7
FAILED TO EXIT (ANTI-PASS BACK) (Burglary Keypad)
Anti-passback requires users to properly exit (egress) an area they
have previously accessed. If they fail to exit through the proper
card reader location they are not granted access on their next
attempt. A Failed to Exit message appears when a user assigned the
anti-passback option attempts to re-enter an area which they did
not exit properly. The user must exit the area through the proper
door. If not possible, your system administrator should select the
Forgive option in the User Codes menu option.
SYSTEM TROUBLE or SERVICE REQUIRED
There is a problem with one or more of the components in your
system. Contact our service department as soon as possible.
SYSTEM BUSY
The system is performing another task of a higher priority. This
usually only takes a few moments.
Special Fire Command Center Tones
Your keypad also contains a small speaker that alerts you about
events as they occur on your system. For an alarm, as soon as the
rst digit key is pressed to enter a user code, the tone stops. If
no other keys are pressed for ve seconds or an invalid code is
entered, the tone turns on again.
Fire Alarm tone: An intermittent sweeping siren that sounds until
the re alarm is silenced.
Key press tone: A short beep each time you press a key on the
keypad and it is acknowledged by the system.
Prewarn tone: A continuous pulsed tone that sounds when you
open an entry delay door on a system that is armed (turned on)
reminding you to disarm the protection. The tone silences as soon
as the rst user code digit key is pressed.
Exit tone: A continuous pulsing tone that sounds during the exit
countdown just after arming to remind you to exit the premise. At
ten seconds prior to the end of the countdown, the rate of pulsing
increases.
Trouble tone: A steady tone indicating a trouble condition on your
system. Press a Select key to silence.
What to do when the trouble tone sounds
You can silence the trouble tone by pressing any key.
This only silences the keypad and does not correct the
condition that originally caused the trouble.

RE ARM DELAY
RE ARM DELAY allows the entry of 0 to 720 minutes to be used to
delay automatic rearming when the user disarms an area outside
of schedule. If zero is selected, the rearming occurs based on
permanent programming in the panel.
RE ARM DELAY is also used to delay a late to close message to the
central station when the panel does not use automatic arming.
If the user has Extend Schedule authority, 2HR 4HR 6HR 8HR
displays at disarming. If the user does not make a choice, the RE
ARM DELAY is used to extend the schedule.
Application example: An exit door near the trash is scheduled
to be armed at all times. When the custodian needs to remove
trash, program 10 minutes for the activity. Or, an overhead door
only requires access when a delivery is made. Program up to 250
minutes to allow the loading dock supervisor to load or unload a
semi-truck.
Browser Feature
