Introduction
Congratulations on your decision to protect your home or business
with the OMNI-408 security system. You have chosen a reliable,
state-of-the-art security system that is remarkably easy to operate.
Representatives from your local security company, who can explain
the specifics of your system, have professionally installed your system.
The keypad is the input and display device for your security system.
Your system can use either the OMNI-KP, OMNI-LCD or OMNI-LED
keypads. The OMNI-KP keypad displays the system status with fixed
words, the OMNI-LCD keypad displays two lines of text, and the
OMNI-LED keypad displays the current zone status, including
alarms, bypasses, and faults, using LEDs. Each condition causes the
LEDs to operate differently.
Throughout this guide, the following conventions are used to display
the keystrokes required to perform functions.
BYPASS Key labeled [BYPASS]
INSTANT Key labeled [INSTANT]
STAY Key labeled [STAY]
CODE Key labeled [CODE]
Enter your four-digit User Code.
Please keep your guide in a convenient location so you can refer to it if
needed.

System Operation

System Operation
You can turn the burglar portion of your security system on and off.
Before you can turn the system on, it must be “ready.” If you have a
protected door open, or if someone is moving in view of a motion
detector, the system will not display “READY.”
The system is ready if the READY LED is lit and the display shows:
LCD Keypad:
SYSTEM READY Fixed-Word Keypad:
READY LED lit
NOTE: If programmed by your installer, you may arm the system if a
delay or interior zone is faulted. However, faulted zones must be
restored before your exit time expires or an alarm or zone bypass will
result. Ask your installer if your system has this feature and, if so, if it
causes an alarm or zone bypass.
To Turn the System On and Leave
Enter your User Code.
The ARMED LED goes on and the display shows:
LCD Keypad:
ON: AWAY Fixed-Word Keypad:
ARMED LED lit
Exit through a door designated by your installer as an exit/entry door.
You must leave within the exit time programmed by your installer.
Refer to the reference sheet for the time that has been set for your
system.

System Operation (cont’d)
– 10 –
When the System is Not Ready
If the system is not ready to be armed, the READY LED is off and the
display indicates which zone or zones are not ready.
Determine which zone or zones are not ready, resolve the problem,
and turn the system on normally. If the problem cannot be resolved,
you may bypass the zone that is not ready. Bypassing should only be
done if the problem on the zone cannot be resolved, OR if you
intentionally wish to leave the zone off. For example, you would leave
the zone off if you plan to keep the window open for ventilation. Zones
that are bypassed are not protected when the system is on. Refer to
the paragraph entitled, “To Bypass a Zone” for a description of the
procedure.
To Turn the System On and Stay Inside
To turn the perimeter portion of your burglar alarm on and move
around freely inside the premises, use the STAY mode.
Check to make sure the system is ready. When it is ready, press:
STAY followed by your User Code.
When the system has been turned on successfully, the ARMED LED is
on, and the following is displayed:
LCD Keypad:
ON: STAY Fixed-Word Keypad:
STAY
REMEMBER: You must turn the system off if you want to open the
door or leave the premises after the exit time has passed.

To Turn the System On In Instant Mode and Stay Inside
In INSTANT STAY mode, the perimeter portion of your burglar
alarm system is on, but the time delays are eliminated from your
normal entry/exit door(s). All interior protection is off, so you are free
to move around inside.
Check to make sure the system is READY. When it is ready, press:
INSTANT followed by
STAY followed by your User Code.
When the system has been turned on successfully, the ARMED LED is

you arm the system in AWAY mode, but do not exit through a delay
zone during exit time.

System Operation (cont’d)
– 12 –
To Turn the System On In Instant Mode

report an alarm if activated. Check to make sure the system is ready.
When it is ready, press:
INSTANT followed by your User Code.

To Bypass a Zone
The Bypass function excludes a zone of protection from the security
system until it is unbypassed (either by using the unbypass procedure
or when you turn the system off). Bypassing can only be done while
the system is turned off.
Press the BYPASS button. Then enter your User Code and the zone
number (1-8) to be bypassed, as follows:
BYPASS followed by your User Code†and Zone No. (1-8)
†If the Quick Bypass feature has been enabled by the installer, do not
enter the User Code when bypassing zones.

After unbypassing, the zone display shows the state of the zones.
†If the Quick Bypass feature has been enabled by the installer, do not
enter the User Code when unbypassing zones.
Turning the System Off
When you turn the system off, you turn off only the burglar portion of
your system; any smoke or heat detectors and panic keys will remain
on. You must enter through a designated entry door and turn off the
system within the time allowed. You can have different amounts of
time for different entry points. See your system reference sheet for
the times established for your system.
To turn your system off:
Enter your User Code.

•User number 1 is a master user and can create or modify other
users.
•User number 6 can be a duress code that will transmit a special
duress code to the central station.
Deleting a User Code
To delete a user, press the CODE button followed by the 4-digit
Master User Code. Enter the user number, then press [∗] to delete.
For example, to delete user 3, do the following:
Master User Code User ID (1-6) ∗to delete
CODE 3 [∗]*
NOTE: User number 1, the master user, cannot be deleted, but it can
be changed using the procedure for adding or changing a User Code.

Paging Feature
– 16 –
Your installer may have programmed your system to send messages
with certain system conditions to your pager. An explanation of those
messages is provided below.
Follow-Me Displays
The display shown on your pager is "ACCTEXXX" where:
"ACCT" is the 4-digit central station no. 2 account number.
"E" is the event code. There are 4 event types: alarms, troubles,
openings, and closings. These event codes are as follows:
Openings = 0, Closings = 1, Alarm or Trouble = 9
If multiple events occur, the signal for the highest-priority event is sent
first. Events ranked from highest to lowest priority are alarms, trouble,
openings, and closings.
"XXX" is, depending on the event, the zone (001-008) or user (001-014)
designation.

Changing the Pager Follow-Me Phone Number
You can change your pager follow-me phone number as follows if your
installer enabled this feature:

Paging Feature (cont’d)
– 17 –
1. Access pager number programming by pressing in sequence the
[#], [5], and [8] keys. An acknowledgement tone sounds to indicate
pager number programming has been accessed.
The [#], [5], [8] command is accessible only while the system is
disarmed and the dialer, dialer delay, and bell are not active.
LCD keypads will display the existing pager phone number.
2. Enter your new pager phone number. Your new pager phone
number may consist of up to 16 characters (1-9, 0). It may be
necessary to add time to allow the pager to answer before dialing
your pager number. To enter a 2-second pause, press the [CODE]
key. (Entering a 2-second pause is optional and is not required to
enter your pager phone number.) If the [CODE] key was pressed,
it counts as one character. The keypad will emit a single
acknowledgement chirp as each number is pressed.
3. Press the [#] key after you have made your pager phone number
changes. Pressing the [#] key saves your new pager number and
nulls out the remaining locations. An acknowledgement tone
sounds.
To exit without saving changes, press the [✴]key to exit pager phone
number programming. An acknowledgement tone sounds to indicate
pager number programming has been exited.
If you press the [✴] key without first pressing the [#] key to save your
new pager phone number, the system exits the pager phone number
programming mode without saving the changes.
If no key is pressed within 10 seconds, the pager phone number
programming mode times out and exits automatically without saving any
information entered.

that send an emergency signal to your central station. These three
alerts, along with their keypad combinations, are shown below:
Fire Panic Aux
[7] and [9] [*] and [#] [1] and [3]
