Chapter 1.0 About Your Security System
1.0 About Your Security System
Readthismanualcarefullyandhaveyourinstallerinstructyouonyoursystem'soperationandon
whichfeatureshavebeenimplementedinyoursystem.Allusersofthissystemshouldbefully
instructedinitsuse.FillouttheSystemInformationpagewithallofyourzoneinformationand
accesscodes,andstorethismanualinasafeplaceforfuturereference.

Note:TheWS900securitysystemincludesspecificfalsealarmreductionfeaturesandisclassified
inaccordancewithANSI/SIACP-01-2014ControlPanelStandard-FeaturesforFalseAlarm
Reduction.Consultyourinstallerforfurtherinformationregardingthefalsealarmreductionfea-
turesbuiltintoyoursystem,asthismanualdoesnotcoverallfeatures.
1.1 Fire Detection
Thissystemcanmonitorfiredetectiondevices,suchassmokedetectors,andprovideawarningifa
fireconditionisdetected.Goodfiredetectiondependsonhavinganadequatenumberofdetectors
placedinappropriatelocations.ThisequipmentmustbeinstalledinaccordancewithNFPA72
(N.F.P.A.,BatterymarchPark,QuinceyMA02269).CarefullyreviewtheFamilyEscapePlanning
guidelinesinthismanual.

Note:Yourinstallermustenableandconfigurethisfeature.
1.2 Carbon Monoxide Detection
Thissystemcanmonitorcarbonmonoxidedetectorsandprovideawarningifcarbonmonoxideis
detected.ReadtheFamilyEscapePlanningguidelinesinthismanualandtheinstructionsforthecar-
bonmonoxidedetector.

Note:Yourinstallermustenableandconfigurethisfeature.
1.3 Testing
Testyoursystemweeklytoensurethatyoursystemfunctionsasintended.RefertotheTestingyour
Systemsectioninthismanual.Ifyoursystemdoesnotfunctionproperly,callyourinstallationcom-
panyforservice.
1.4 Monitoring
Thissystemcantransmitalarms,troublesandemergencyinformation.Ifyouinitiateanalarmby
mistake,immediatelycallthecentralstationtopreventanunnecessaryresponse.
Note:
lYourinstallermustenablethemonitoringfunctionbeforeitisfunctional.
lConsultwithyourinstallertodetermineifyoursystemisconfiguredwithacommunicator
delay.Acommunicatordelaypreventsareporttothecentralstationifthecontrolpanelis
unsetwithin30-45secondsafteranintrusionalarmistriggered.Notethatfire-typealarms
arenormallyreportedwithoutadelay.
lEnsurethatyourinstallerverifiesthatyoursystemiscompatiblewiththeCentralStation
Receiverformatatyearlyintervals.

Chapter 1.0 About Your Security System
1.5 Maintenance
Withnormaluse,thesystemrequiresminimummaintenance.Notethefollowingpoints:
lDonotwashthesecurityequipmentwithawetcloth.Lightdustingwithaslightly
moistenedclothremovesnormalaccumulationsofdust.
lReplacethestandbybatteryevery3-5years.
WARNING!Donotattempttoreplacethebatteryoropentheenclosure,asthereisariskofelec-
tricshockorfire.

Forothersystemdevicessuchassmokedetectors,passiveinfrared,ultrasonicormicrowavemotion
detectors,orglassbreakdetectors,consultthemanufacturer’sliteraturefortestingandmain-
tenanceinstructions.

Chapter 2.0 General System Operation
2.0 General System Operation
Yoursecuritysystemcomprisesanintegratedalarmcontrol/panelandvarioussensorsanddetectors.
Thepanelismountedbythemainentry/exitlocation.Thesystemisself-contained;electronicsand
standbybatteryarehousedwithintheunit.
Note:Ensurethatonlytheinstalleroraserviceprofessionalhasaccesstothesystem.

Thesecuritysystemhasseveralzonesofareaprotection.Eachofthesezonescommunicatestoone
ormorewirelesssensors,suchasmotiondetectors,glassbreakdetectors,doorcontacts,etc.A
sensorinalarmisindicatedbymessagesontheWS900mobilephoneuserapplication.
AdditionalfeaturesincludeAutomaticInhibit(SwingerShutdown)foralarm,TamperandTrouble
signalsafterthreeoccurrencesinagivensetperiod,andaprogrammableKeypadLockoutoption.
ForSIACP-01classifiedinstallations,theswingershutdownfeatureisprogrammedsuchthatone
ortwotripsshutsdownthezone.Thezoneisrestoredafteramanualresetbyenteringtheaccess
codeatthetimeofdisarmingthealarmsystem,oritisresetautomaticallyafter48hourswithno
tripsonanyzones.
2.1 Integrated Keypad
TheWS900systemincludesacapacitivetouchintegratedkeypadwith16keys:numbers0thru9,*,
#,Fire,Auxiliary,Panic(FAP),andshift(uparrow).
Innormaloperation,thekeypadremainsdimwhennotinuse.Whenauserisincloseproximity,the
numberkeysilluminate.
Note:TheFAPkeysdonotilluminateunlesstheshiftkeyistapped.SeetheEmergencyKeyssec-
tionformoreinformation.


Note:Thekeypadcanonlybeusedforarming,disarming,andthelocalFAP.Thesamefunctions
areavailablewhenswitchingbetweenpartitions.
2.2 Panel Indicators
TheWS900systemincludesaseriesofilluminatedpointsourcestatusindicators.Thereisamin-
imumofsevenindicators:
lFoursingle-colorLEDs
lThreebi-colorLEDs(redandgreen)

2.3 Important Notice
Asecuritysystemcannotpreventemergencies.Itisonlyintendedtoalertyouandyourcentralsta-
tion,ifapplicable,toanemergencysituation.Securitysystemsaregenerallyveryreliable,butthey
maynotworkunderallconditionsandtheyarenotasubstituteforprudentsecuritypracticesorlife
andpropertyinsurance.Yoursecuritysystemmustbeinstalledandservicedbyqualifiedsecurity
professionals.Theseprofessionalscaninstructyouonthelevelofprotectionthathasbeenprovided
andonsystemoperations.

Note:WhenthepanelisinSleepMode,itissavingbatterylife.Thepanelwillnotbeturnedon
untilthereisaspecificreason,suchasahandwaveinfrontofthepanel,orthestartofanentry
delay.
Inthismodethekeypadisstillfunctioningandnothingwillbevisible;howeverifdesired,your
installercanenablethearmedstatustobevisiblewhileinSleepMode.
2.4 Language Selection
Thesystemsupportsthefollowingthreelanguages:
lEnglish

Chapter 3.0 Arming the System
3.0 Arming the System
Youcanarmthesystemusingthefollowingoptions:
lIntegratedkeypad
lTablet
lUserapp
lWirelesskey(Refertosection5.0foralistofUL/ULClistedcompatiblewirelesskeys.)
3.1 Stay Arming
StayArmingarmstheperimeterofthepremiseswhilepermittingmovementinside.
ToarmthesysteminStaymode,dothefollowingsteps:
1. EnsureallprotecteddoorsandwindowsaresecureorbypassedandthattheReady
indicatorison.
2. Enteravalidusercodeanddonotleavethepremises.Thesystemwillautomatically
ignorebypassedzones.Exitdelaybegins.
3. Whenexitdelayisactive,theArmed andReadyindicatorsturnonandthekeypadis
silent.

Whentheexitdelayhasexpired,thesystemisarmedandindicatedbythefollowingconditions:
lTheReadyindicatorturnsoff.
lTheArmedindicatorstayson.

Note:ForSIACP-01listedpanels,theStayArmingexitdelaywillbetwiceaslongastheAway
Armingexitdelay.
IfyoursystemisinstalledinaccordancewithSIACP-01StandardforFalseAlarmReduction,the
securitysystemarmsintheStayArmedmodeiftheexitdelaytimeexpiresandthereisnoexit.
3.2 Silent Exit Delay
IfthesystemisarmedinStaymodeorusingtheNo-Entryarmingmethod,thekeypadbuzzeris
silencedandtheexittimeisdoubledforthatexitperiodonly.(SIACP-01only.)
3.3 Away Arming
AwayArmingarmstheentiresystem,includingtheperimeterandinteriordevices.
ToarmthesysteminAwaymode,dothefollowingsteps:
1. EnsureallprotecteddoorsandwindowsaresecureorbypassedandthattheReady
indicatorison.
2. Enteravalidusercodeandexitthepremisesthroughadoorprogrammedasentry/exit
type.Exitdelaybegins.
3. Whenexitdelayisactive,theArmed andReadyindicatorsturnonandthekeypad
beepsoncepersecond.Dependingonyoursystemconfiguration,youhave____secondsto
exitthepremises.Yourinstallercanprogramthistime.
4. Thekeypadbuzzeremitsadistinctpulsatingrateduringthelast10secondsoftheexit
delaytoindicatethatthetimeisexpiring.
5. Tocancelthearmingsequence,enteryouraccesscode.
