WARNING Please Read Carefully
Note to Installers
This Warning contains vital information. As the only individual in contact with system users, it is the
installer’s responsibility to bring each item in this Warning to the attention of all users of this system.
System Failures
This system has been carefully designed to be as effective
as possible. There are circumstances, however, involving
fire, burglary, or other types of emergencies where it may
not provide protection. Any alarm system of any type may
be compromised deliberately or may fail to operate as
expected for a variety of reasons. Some but not all of these
reasons may be:
Access by Intruders
Intruders may enter through an unprotected access point,
circumvent a sensing device, evade detection by moving
through an area of insufficient coverage, disconnect a warn-
ing device, or interfere with or prevent the proper operation
of the system.
Component Failure
Although every effort has been made to make this system
as reliable as possible, the system may fail to function as
intended due to the failure of a component.
Compromise of Radio Frequency (Wireless) Devices
Signals may not reach the receiver under all circumstances
which could include metal objects placed on or near the
radio path or deliberate jamming or other inadvertent radio
signal interference.
Criminal Knowledge
This system contains security features which were known to
be effective at the time of manufacture. It is possible for per-
sons with criminal intent to develop techniques which
reduce the effectiveness of these features. It is important
that your security system be reviewed periodically to ensure
that its features remain effective and that it is updated or
replaced if it is found that it does not provide the protection
expected.
Failure of Replaceable Batteries
This system’s wireless transmitters have been designed to
provide several years of battery life under normal condi-
tions. The expected battery life is a function of the device
environment, usage, and type. Ambient conditions such as
high humidity, high or low temperatures, or large tempera-
ture fluctuations may reduce the expected battery life. While
each transmitting device has a low battery monitor which
identifies when the batteries need to be replaced, this moni-
tor may fail to operate as expected. Regular testing and
maintenance will keep the system in good operating condi-
tion.
Inadequate Installation
A security system must be installed properly in order to pro-
vide adequate protection. Every installation should be eval-
uated by a security professional to ensure that all access
points and areas are covered. Locks and latches on win-
dows and doors must be secure and operate as intended.
Windows, doors, walls, ceilings and other building materials
must be of sufficient strength and construction to provide
the level of protection expected. A reevaluation must be
done during and after any construction activity. An evalua-
tion by the fire and/or police department is highly recom-
mended if this service is available.
Inadequate Testing
Most problems that would prevent an alarm system from
operating as intended can be found by regular testing and
maintenance. The complete system should be tested
weekly and immediately after a break-in, an attempted
break-in, a fire, a storm, an earthquake, an accident, or any
kind of construction activity inside or outside the premises.
The testing should include all sensing devices, keypads,
consoles, alarm indicating devices, and any other opera-
tional devices that are part of the system.
Insufficient Time
There may be circumstances when the system will operate
as intended, yet the occupants will not be protected from an
emergency due to their inability to respond to the warnings
in a timely manner. If the system is remotely monitored, the
response may not occur in time to protect the occupants or
their belongings.
Motion Detectors
Motion detectors can only detect motion within the desig-
nated areas as shown in their respective installation instruc-
tions. They cannot discriminate between intruders and
intended occupants. Motion detectors do not provide volu-
metric area protection. They have multiple beams of detec-
tion and motion can only be detected in unobstructed areas
covered by these beams. They cannot detect motion which
occurs behind walls, ceilings, floor, closed doors, glass par-
titions, glass doors or windows. Any type of tampering
whether intentional or unintentional such as masking, paint-
ing, or spraying of any material on the lenses, mirrors, win-
dows or any other part of the detection system will impair its
proper operation.
Passive infrared motion detectors operate by sensing
changes in temperature. However their effectiveness can
be reduced when the ambient temperature rises near or
above body temperature or if there are intentional or unin-
tentional sources of heat in or near the detection area.
Some of these heat sources could be heaters, radiators,
stoves, barbeques, fireplaces, sunlight, steam vents, light-
ing, and so on.
Power Failure
Control units, intrusion detectors, smoke detectors and
many other security devices require an adequate power
supply for proper operation. If a device operates from bat-
teries, it is possible for the batteries to fail. Even if the bat-
teries have not failed, they must be charged, in good
condition and installed correctly. If a device operates only by
AC power, any interruption, however brief, will render that
device inoperative while it does not have power. Power
interruptions of any length are often accompanied by volt-
age fluctuations which may damage electronic equipment
such as a security system. After a power interruption has
occurred, immediately conduct a complete system test to
ensure that the system operates as intended.
Security and Insurance
Regardless of its capabilities, an alarm system is not a sub-
stitute for property or life insurance. An alarm system also is
not a substitute for property owners, renters, or other occu-
pants to act prudently to prevent or minimize the harmful
effects of an emergency situation.
Smoke Detectors
Smoke detectors that are a part of this system may not
properly alert occupants of a fire for a number of reasons,
some of which follow. The smoke detectors may have been
improperly installed or positioned. Smoke may not be able
to reach the smoke detectors, such as when the fire is in a
chimney, walls or roofs, or on the other side of closed doors.
Smoke detectors may not detect smoke from fires on
another level of the residence or building.
Every fire is different in the amount of smoke produced and
the rate of burning. Smoke detectors cannot sense all types
of fires equally well. Smoke detectors may not provide
timely warning of fires caused by carelessness or safety
hazards such as smoking in bed, violent explosions, escap-
ing gas, improper storage of flammable materials, over-
loaded electrical circuits, children playing with matches or
arson.
Even if the smoke detector operates as intended, there may
be circumstances when there is insufficient warning to allow
all occupants to escape in time to avoid injury or death.
Telephone Lines
If telephone lines are used to transmit alarms, they may be
out of service or busy for certain periods of time. Also an
intruder may cut the telephone line or defeat its operation by
more sophisticated means which may be difficult to detect.
Warning Devices
Warning devices such as sirens, bells, horns, or strobes
may not warn people or waken someone sleeping if there is
an intervening wall or door. If warning devices are located
on a different level of the residence or premise, then it is
less likely that the occupants will be alerted or awakened.
Audible warning devices may be interfered with by other
noise sources such as stereos, radios, televisions, air con-
ditioners or other appliances, or passing traffic. Audible
warning devices, however loud, may not be heard by a
hearing-impaired person.

The Interface has 2 yellow LED indicators: 1 Trouble LED, 1 Network connection status LED, The LED mean-
ings are described in this Section.
Yellow Trouble LED
This yellow LED will flash to indicate a trouble on the unit. The number of flashes indicates the type of trouble.
See the table below for the coded flashes and the conditions which will activate the Trouble Status LED.
NOTE: Only the highest priority trouble (2 Flashes is highest priority) is indicated. When that trouble is
restored, the next highest trouble will indicate, if present. This will continue until all Troubles have been
cleared (Trouble LED is OFF).
The following paragraphs describe the conditions associated with the trouble indicated:
2 Flashes: Panel Supervision Trouble
This trouble will be indicated when communication between the IT-230 module and the Panel fails. If the module can
not communicate with the panel (e.g., loss of power to the panel) the IT-230 will send a Panel Absent Trouble (Sec-
tion [023]) event message to the Change to C24-HUB. When communication is restored, the IT-230 will send a
Panel Absent Restore (Section [024]) event message to the C24-HUB. The reporting codes are ET0001 (Trouble)
and ER0001 (Trouble Restore). The Panel Absent/Restore events always use primary receiver Account Code (See
Section [021]) when communicating these events.
NOTE: The Panel Absent Trouble/Restore are internally generated events by the IT-230. These are the
only internal events created; all other events are generated by the Panel. The Trouble is generated if the
IT-230 misses 6 consecutive polls to the panel and is restored on successful receipt of a single poll.
10 Flashes: Configuration Failure
This trouble is indicated when the unit fails to receive remote programming.
12 Flashes: Module Configuration Failure
This trouble is indicated when the System Account Code has not been programmed in Section [021].
Yellow Connection Status LED
BLINKING: Indicates communication is in progress between IT-230 and the C24-HUB.
• Once quickly for outgoing transmission from the IT-230.
• Twice quickly to indicate incoming ACK/NACK from the C24-HUB.
OFF: This is the normal state of the Connection Status LED. There are no connection issues present.
ON : There is a problem with the connection. The yellow LED will be ON when trouble is indicated:

chaser that for a period of twelve months from the
date of purchase, the product shall be free of defects
in materials and workmanship under normal use. Dur-
ing the warranty period, Digital Security Controls
shall, at its option, repair or replace any defective
product upon return of the product to its factory, at no
charge for labour and materials. Any replacement
and/or repaired parts are warranted for the remainder
of the original warranty or ninety (90) days, whichever
is longer. The original purchaser must promptly notify
Digital Security Controls in writing that there is defect
in material or workmanship, such written notice to be
received in all events prior to expiration of the war-
ranty period. There is absolutely no warranty on soft-
ware and all software products are sold as a user
license under the terms of the software license agree-
ment included with the product. The Customer
assumes all responsibility for the proper selection,
installation, operation and maintenance of any prod-
ucts purchased from DSC. Custom products are only
warranted to the extent that they do not function upon
delivery. In such cases, DSC can replace or credit at
its option.
International Warranty
The warranty for international customers is the same
as for any customer within Canada and the United
States, with the exception that Digital Security Con-
trols shall not be responsible for any customs fees,
taxes, or VAT that may be due.
Warranty Procedure
To obtain service under this warranty, please return
the item(s) in question to the point of purchase. All
authorized distributors and dealers have a warranty
program. Anyone returning goods to Digital Security
Controls must first obtain an authorization number.
Digital Security Controls will not accept any shipment
whatsoever for which prior authorization has not been
obtained.
Conditions to Void Warranty
This warranty applies only to defects in parts and
workmanship relating to normal use. It does not
cover:
•damage incurred in shipping or handling;
•damage caused by disaster such as fire, flood, wind,
earthquake or lightning;
•damage due to causes beyond the control of Digital

tions, modifications or foreign objects;
•damage caused by peripherals (unless such periph-
erals were supplied by Digital Security Controls);

lation environment for the products;
•damage caused by use of the products for purposes
other than those for which it was designed;
•damage from improper maintenance;
•damage arising out of any other abuse, mishandling
or improper application of the products.
Items Not Covered by Warranty
In addition to the items which void the Warranty, the
following items shall not be covered by Warranty: (i)
freight cost to the repair centre; (ii) products which
are not identified with DSC's product label and lot
number or serial number; (iii) products disassembled
or repaired in such a manner as to adversely affect
performance or prevent adequate inspection or test-
ing to verify any warranty claim. Access cards or tags
returned for replacement under warranty will be cred-
ited or replaced at DSC's option. Products not cov-
ered by this warranty, or otherwise out of warranty
due to age, misuse, or damage shall be evaluated,
and a repair estimate shall be provided. No repair
work will be performed until a valid purchase order is
received from the Customer and a Return Merchan-
dise Authorization number (RMA) is issued by DSC's
Customer Service.
Digital Security Controls’ liability for failure to repair
the product under this warranty after a reasonable
number of attempts will be limited to a replacement of
the product, as the exclusive remedy for breach of
warranty. Under no circumstances shall Digital Secu-
rity Controls be liable for any special, incidental, or
consequential damages based upon breach of war-
ranty, breach of contract, negligence, strict liability, or
any other legal theory. Such damages include, but
are not limited to, loss of profits, loss of the product or
any associated equipment, cost of capital, cost of
substitute or replacement equipment, facilities or ser-
vices, down time, purchaser’s time, the claims of third
parties, including customers, and injury to property.
The laws of some jurisdictions limit or do not allow the
disclaimer of consequential damages. If the laws of
such a jurisdiction apply to any claim by or against
DSC, the limitations and disclaimers contained here
shall be to the greatest extent permitted by law.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of
incidental or consequential damages, so that the
above may not apply to you.
Disclaimer of Warranties
This warranty contains the entire warranty and shall
be in lieu of any and all other warranties, whether
expressed or implied (including all implied warranties
of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose)
And of all other obligations or liabilities on the part of

neither assumes responsibility for, nor authorizes any
other person purporting to act on its behalf to modify

other warranty or liability concerning this product.
This disclaimer of warranties and limited warranty are
governed by the laws of the province of Ontario, Can-
ada.
WARNING: Digital Security Controls recommends
that the entire system be completely tested on a regu-
lar basis. However, despite frequent testing, and due
to, but not limited to, criminal tampering or electrical
disruption, it is possible for this product to fail to per-
form as expected.

Any products returned to DSC which have the
Installer’s Lockout option enabled and exhibit no
other problems will be subject to a service charge.

not to be repairable will be replaced by the nearest
equivalent product available at that time. The current
