INTRODUCTION
Welcome to your new S02 alarm system from Fortress Security
Store. This easy-to-use, self-install burglar alarm system works
with one or more loud sirens to alert anyone nearby of a pos-
sible break-in. Using your existing phone line, the system can
also call you and alert you when you’re away from home.

HOW DOES THE S02 ALARM SYSTEM
WORK?
When the alarm is triggered, any sirens will start making noise
to scare off intruders and alert you. Additionally, if connected
to a phone line, it will call the phone number(s) you program
and play a brief recorded message (which you record). A Zone
Number will also appear on the screen to indicate which sen-
sor triggered the alarm. The system can be armed in Home
mode to protect the perimeter of the house while allowing you
to move around freely inside. Some accessories such as smoke
alarms will trigger the alarm even if the system is disarmed.

If you’re anything like us and don’t want to have to read an
entire manual to set up your system, this quick start guide is
the perfect solution.
Here’s a breakdown of the Quick Start guide:
QUICK START
•All S02 systems come with at least the items above.
We offer multiple sizes of the S02 kit. Look for the size you
purchased on the table on the next page to see what sensors
you have and what zones they are programmed to.
•If you purchased a custom-built kit, this chart may not re-
ect how your system is congured.

FIRST TIME TESTING
To turn on your panel for the  rst time, plug in the included
power cable to the wall and into your panel, then turn the
power switch ON.
Some sensors will have a battery tab or a plastic protective
covering over them. Before you get started testing, follow
these steps:
GETTING YOUR SENSORS READY
•Remove battery saver tabs
•Turn on any sensors with a power switch
•Plug in sensors that require power
ON / OFF

To test your sensors, follow the steps below:
• Arm your system *
• Trigger a sensor **
• Make sure that you see the sensors zone number appear on
the screen (this means the alarm was triggered)
• Disarm the system.
• Repeat the steps above until all sensors have been tested.
* If you have questions on how to arm/disarm the system,
refer to page 10.
** If you are unsure how to trigger one of your sensors, refer
to page 14.
Note: When testing your motion detectors, be sure to arm the
system in Out mode. They will not trigger the alarm in Home
mode.
TESTING YOUR SENSORS
We recommend you test all your sensors/sirens before you
install your system. This will help you ensure that everything
is working as it should.
TESTING YOUR SIRENS
Plug in all sirens and turn on the power switches if applicable,
then trigger your alarm. It does not matter which sensor you
trigger; it is only important that the alarm goes off.
Be sure all sirens are sounding, then disarm your system.
To arm, press and hold ‘Out’ or ‘Home’ until the panel beeps.
To disarm, type in 1234, then press the Disarm button.

INSTALLATION DO’S AND DON’TS
This table addresses some common questions you may have
during the setup process. Set it up right the  rst time, and save
on painkillers from the headache you avoided!
Note: Do not mount any transmitters directly on metal. This
will ensure that the transmissions from the sensors make it to
the main panel successfully and reliably.
More detail about programming the system can be found in
our advanced setup instructions on page 14. Alternatively, visit
our website and click on the Support Tab.

ZONE CHART
Before installing your sensors, we recommend you write
down their intended location. This will help you remember
which sensor is in what area.
Each sensor has a number. That number is the zone it is assigned to
Note: If you need more space, there is room at the back of the manual.

SYSTEM BASICS
This section will teach you how to set up the basics of your se-
curity system, above and beyond the information in the Quick
Start section.
Here’s a breakdown of the System Basics section:
•Telephone Setup
•Entry Delay Setup
•Arming/Disarming [In Depth]
•Setting A New Password
TELEPHONE SETUP
In order for you system to complete calls, you will need to plug
it into a landline. Completing both steps below is not neces-
sary; you will only need to plug your phone base station into
the S02 if you have only one landline wall jack.
Follow these steps to set it up:
•Plug the phone cable from your wall jack into the Out Line
Port on the S02 panel.
•If using on a shared phone line, plug a cable from your tele-
phone port to your phone base station
Note: We recommend using a dedicated phone line for your
alarm system. Sharing a line with anything else can cause dis-
ruptions or keep the security system from being able to make
or receive calls.

PROGRAMMING PHONE NUMBERS
The S02 system has a self-monitoring feature, which means
that the system can optionally call up to 6 different phone
numbers and play a brief recorded message. An existing phone
line with a working dial tone is required for this feature.
To program a phone number into slot 31, follow the below
steps:
There are 6 available slots where you can program up to 6
phone numbers. These slots are numbered 31 through 36. The
example above shows how to program a number into slot 31,
but you can use any number between 31 and 36. The system
will call the numbers in the order they are stored.
Note: You can use up to a 14-digit phone number.
RECORD A MESSAGE
When your system calls you, it will play a recorded message.
If you do not record anything on your panel, the line will be
silent when you answer the panel’s outgoing call.
To record a message, follow the steps on the next page.
