INTRODUCTION
This manual is furnished to help you understand your security system and
become proficient in its operation. All users of your security system
should read and follow the instructions in this booklet and, if possible,
practice on the keypad control while your professional installer is on site.
Failure to do so could result in the security system not working properly.
Please keep this booklet in an accessible location for the life of the
security system. If you do not understand any part of this manual you
should notify your installing company.
The SECURITY CONTROL can be turned on (ARMED) and off (DISARMED)
by entering a 4 or 6 digit code into the Keypad Control, which is similar to
a telephone keypad. If your Security Control has been so programmed,
you may be able to turn on (ARM) your System by simply pressing the
[STAY] or [EXIT] key. The system must always be disarmed using a 4 or 6
digit code. The LED keypad includes up to 60 icons and a built-in
electronic sounder. These provide specific information relating to the
status of the security system which is described in the booklet.
Understanding what the icons and sounds mean will help you easily
operate your system.
Keep in mind, the level of security you will obtain with this system relates
specifically with two major factors:
1. The quantity, quality and placement of security devices attached
to this system.
2. The knowledge you have of the security system and how that
knowledge is utilized in a weekly test of the complete system.
You should be aware of the following facts when preparing a
safety/security plan for your home/business.
 Your security system is an electronic device and is subject to failure
or malfunction. Do not rely on it as your single source of security.
 Your system should be tested weekly.

NX1448E Icon Keypad Page 5
 Your system will not work without power.
 Warning devices will need to be loud enough, wired correctly, and
properly placed to provide notification of an alarm event.
 Smoke and heat detectors may not detect heat and smoke in all
situations.Use qualified security professionals to install and maintain
your security system.
 It may be possible to arm the security system without the backup
battery connected. Your periodic test should be done with AC Power
removed to verify the battery is connected and adequately charged.
 Care should be taken to plug in and restrain the AC Transformer after
testing.
Please read the following information and instructions carefully
before operating your security control system.

EXIT LIGHT
The exit light is “on” during the exit delay. Please note that the light will
flash during the last 10 seconds of the exit delay as a warning that the
time is running out. (The user may want to disarm the system if the
exit light is flashing in order to prevent an alarm. The user may then re-
arm the system and exit before the delay expires.)
FIRE ICON
A steady fire icon means a fire zone has been faulted. A rapidly flashing
fire icon means that a fire zone is in a trouble condition.

Page 12 NX1448E Icon Keypad
INSTANT ICON
The instant icon is “on” when there is no delay on your entry/exit
door(s). Any time the instant icon is “on” and the exit delay has expired,
the opening of an entry/exit door will produce an immediate alarm. The
instant icon can be toggled on or off by pressing the [Stay] key while
the system is armed. When the instant icon is “off”, the entry/exit
door(s) is delayed.
