XR150/XR350/XR550 User’s Guide 1Introduction
Introduction
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
system operation. If you have any additional questions, or feel
that you need more training, please do not hesitate to contact
your alarm dealer.
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 and refer to the Fire
Drillsectionforinstructionsontestingyoursystemrebells.
XR150, XR350, and XR550 Systems
This Guide covers operation of the XR150, XR350, and XR550 Series
systems.
About Your Security System
The system has been designed with your safety and comfort in
mind. It uses the latest in computer based technology to create
themostadvanced,userfriendlysecurity,re,andaccesscontrol
system available.
The system combines ease of use with a simple to understand DMP
keypad to offer the full range of features requested by today’s
security system owners.
Use the system to turn portions of your protection on or off by
pressing a few keys, or have the system turn on or off automatically
by entering a simple schedule. You can add, delete, and change
personal user codes at any time or check the status of protection
devices in the system.
Parts of the System
There are two main parts to the security system, the keypad and
the keypad User Menu.
LCD Keypad
This is the device we have placed at certain locations throughout
the premises that allow 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 changing
the time of day or a personal user code.

2 XR150/XR350/XR550 User’s Guide Introduction
Emergency Evacuation Plans
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 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 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.
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.
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 Keypad Displays
As you use your system, you occasionally see a keypad display
that asks you to enter a code or that describes a condition on the
system. Below are some examples of the keypad 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.
TRBL (TROUBLE)
There is a problem with a protection device or system component.
This display is accompanied by a description of the problem.

10 XR150/XR350/XR550 User’s Guide Introduction
ALARM NOT SENT
The alarm signal was aborted and 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. Also, your
system may be pre-programmed at installation to send an Abort
signal to the Central Station that an alarm occurred but was
not sent because the user entered a code before the delay time
expired. Refer to the Introduction section of this guide.
ALARM CANCELLED
An Alarm signal just sent to the central station was cancelled
because a user code was entered to disarm the system after the
alarm was sent. Also, an Alarm Cancel signal is sent to the Central
Station.
ALARM VERIFIED
Avalidburglaralarmhasoccurredandhasbeenmanuallyveried
by the user. The alarm system also transmits a VERIFY message to
the Central Station.
ENTER CODE OR PRESENT CARD
The system requires you to enter your user code or present your
user card/proximity credential to a keypad or card reader. User
codesorreads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/CARD/PIN
Theusercode,cardread,orPINyouhaveusedisnotrecognized
by the system. Check the user code or PIN or present the card to
the reader 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.
FAILED TO EXIT (ANTI-PASSBACK)
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.
TEST IN PROGRESS
The system is currently being tested by an installation or service
technician.

XR150/XR350/XR550 User’s Guide 11Introduction
Cell Phone Messages
Your system may be programmed at installation to send a variety
of messages to your personal cell phone.
The message option uses your security system’s reporting capability
to send reports using a cell phone number in much the same way
as someone sending an email would do. You can receive reports of
alarms, troubles, or system arming and disarming and know at a
glance your system status. See Appendix F for more information.
MyAccess™Text Messaging Commands
Your system may be programmed to allow simple text messages to
be sent to the security system to perform basic user operations.
By texting a message from your cell phone or PDA, the following
actions can be performed: Arm/Disarm, check Armed Status,
CancelAlarm,andturnOutputsOn/Off.SeeAppendixFformore
information.
Understanding Security System Terms
Throughout this guide, and in some displays on your keypad, you
may see certain words or phrases that might be unfamiliar. Below
are some terms you may see here and on your keypad display:
Access (Door Access)
Entry/Exit doors that are used to restrict access to the building
or provide door access to authorized users. When a user code is
entered at the keypad by entering a code or presenting a card to
areader,thesystemveriesauthorityandunlocksthedoorfora
short period of time. See Easy Entry User’s Guide in Appendix E.
Areas
An area is made up of burglary zones that can be armed or
disarmedtogether.Oneareamightconsistoftheofcedoorsand
windows.Whenyouarmtheofce,thesezonesarmtogetherand
sound an alarm if opened.
Arming
Turns on the burglary protection in one or more areas of the
system. When armed, the system is able to sound alarm bells or
sirens and, if monitored, send alarm reports to a central station
whenaburglaryzoneistripped.
Fire, panic, and other 24-hour devices are always turned on and do
not need to be armed.
Central Station Monitoring
Your system can also be programmed to automatically send
alarm, trouble, and arming and disarming reports to a central
station.Operatorsatthecentralstationdispatchtheappropriate
authoritiesorcontactyouwiththespeciceventinformation.
Disarming
Turns off one or more areas of the system. When disarmed, the
systemdoesNOTsoundalarmsorsendalarmreportstoacentral
stationwhenaburglaryzonefaults.
Fault
YoumayseethekeypaddisplayFRONTDOOR—FAULT.Thismeans
that there is a problem with the front door, such as the door being
openwhenyouarearmingthesystem.Ifyouseea—FAULTdisplay,
attempttocorrecttheproblem(inthiscaseshutthedoor).After
thezoneis ina normalstate,youmay armthe system.Youmay
alsobypassthezoneandthenarmthesystem.
Zone
A zone refers to one or more protected openings (doors or
windows) or protection devices (motion or glassbreak detectors)
groupedtogetherunderthesamezonenameandnumber.
Often,similardevicesinthesamegenerallocationsharethesame
zone.Forexample,thewindowsontheeastsideofthepremises
canallbegroupedtogetherinazonenamedE.WINDOWS.

12 XR150/XR350/XR550 User’s Guide Introduction
Ifthealarmisfroma24-hourzoneorasystemmonitor,itremains
in the Status List until it restores. If one or more armed burglary
zones trip at the same time, the last one to trip remains in the
Status List. This is to ensure that if a burglary has occurred the last
zonetrippedremainsdisplayedevenifithasbeenrestored.
Armed Status
Armed Status is the keypad display of the current armed condition
of areas within your security system.
If your system is set up as an Area system with areas one to eight,
thedisplayshows:12345678.Whenyouarmareas1,3,5,and
7 the keypad displays: 1 3 5 7.
If your Area system is setup with nine or higher areas and the system
is armed, the display reads:ALL SYSTEM ON or SYSTEM ON. Refer to
Checking Armed Areas for information about checking the armed areas.
If your system is set up as a Home/Sleep/Away or All/Perimeter
system, one of the following displays indicate the current Armed
Status:
The keypad displays When
HOME SYSTEM ON The perimeter is armed in a Home/
Sleep/Away system.
PERIMETER ON The perimeter is armed in an All/
Perimeter system.
ALL SYSTEM ON All areas are armed.
SLEEP SYSTEM ON The perimeter and interior are armed
but the bedroom area is disarmed.
If your system is set up as a Home/Sleep/Away with Guest system,
the arming status of the main system is the same as a standard
Home/Sleep/Away system. The current arming status of the Guest
systems displays as follows:
Instant Zone
Interior protection devices and perimeter devices, such as exterior
windows, passive infrared detectors (PIR), and non entry doors,
aretypicallynotprogrammedwithdelaytimes.Ifthesezonesare
tripped while the system is armed, an alarm instantly occurs.
24-hour Zone
A24-hourzoneisnotturnedonoroffbyarmingordisarmingyour
system. Some examples of 24-hour zones are re zones, panic
zones,andtemperaturecontrolzones.
Entry or Exit zone
Almost all systems have one or more doors through which you can
access the premises. These doors are programmed with a delay
time to allow you to enter or exit without setting off the alarm.
When you arm the system, activity on this zone is ignored until
theexitdelay timeexpires. Oncethattime hasexpired and the
system is fully armed, opening the door causes the panel to start
the entry delay time. During the entry delay time, you must enter
a valid user code to disarm the system or an alarm occurs.
Status
Status is a feature that automatically displays the armed or dis-
armed status of your system on the keypads. Alarm or trouble
conditions on a zone or a system monitor such asAC or battery
trouble can also display. There are two types of status information
available: Armed Status and Status List.
Status List
The keypad Status List displays any alarm or trouble condition on
azone,andanytroubleconditiononaninternalsystemmonitor.
The system monitors include the AC power, battery power, panel
box tamper, printer, and phone lines. If more than one alarm or
trouble condition occurs at the same time, the keypad sequences
this information on its display.

General Arming Operation
Your system has been programmed to operate in one of four
congurations:Area,All/Perimeter, Home/Sleep/Away, orHome/
Sleep/Away with Guest.
• Area — Your burglary protection is divided into up to 32
areas. Each area can have a custom name, be turned on or off
independently of other areas, and limit access to only those
users with proper authority.
• All/Perimeter — Your burglary protection is divided into two
areas: Interior and Perimeter.
Perimeter arming is when you are staying inside but want the
comfort of knowing the exterior doors and windows are armed.
Perimeter arming allows you to move freely about inside
without setting off any interior alarms.
All arms both the Perimeter and the Interior of the system. You
want to arm both of these areas when leaving the building and
no one is left inside.
• Home/Sleep/Away— Your burglary protection is divided into
two or three areas: Perimeter, Interior, and Bedrooms.
Home (Perimeter)armingiswhen youarestayinginsidebutwant
the comfort of knowing the exterior doors and windows are armed.
Sleep (Optional)(PerimeterandInterior)armsallareasexcept
those near bedrooms and nighttime areas.
Away(Perimeter,Interior,andBedrooms)armsallthreeareas
when you leave the building and no one is left inside.
•
Home/Sleep/Away with Guest— Your burglary protection has a
main house system and up to two guest house systems (XR150 has
1guesthousesystemwhileXR350andXR550offers2).Eachhouse
is separate and works just like the Home/Sleep/Away system
previously mentioned.
