ACTA Part 68
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC Rules. Located on this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, the FCC registration num-
ber and the ringer equivalence number (REN) for this equipment. If requested, this information must be provided to the telephone company.
FCC Part 68 Registration No. B4Z-A101B46059
The REN is used to determine the maximum number of devices that may be connected to your telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in
devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most areas, the sum of all device RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of
devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone company. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the
REN for this product is part of the product identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal
point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label.
A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and require-
ments as adopted by ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a compliant modular
jack that is also compliant. See the Installation Instructions for details.
Alarm dialing equipment must be able to seize the telephone line and place a call in an emergency situation. It must be able to do this even if other equipment
(telephone, answering system, computer modem, etc.) already has the telephone line in use. To do so, alarm dialing equipment must be connected to a properly
installed RJ31X jack that is electrically in series and ahead of all other equipment attached to the same telephone line. Proper installation is depicted in the fol-
lowing diagram. If you have any questions concerning these instructions, consult your local telephone company or a qualified installer about installing an RJ31X
jack and alarm dialing equipment for you.
If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may temporarily disconnect your service. If possible, you will be notified in
advance. When advance notice is not practical, you will be notified as soon as possible. You will also be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the operation of the equipment. You will be
given advance notice in order to maintain uninterrupted service.
If you experience trouble with this equipment, please contact the company that installed the equipment for service and/or repair information. The telephone com-
pany may ask you to disconnect this equipment from the network until the problem has been corrected or you are sure that the equipment is not malfunctioning.
This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company. Connection to party lines is subject to state tariffs.

Getting to Know
Your Security
System
This security system is designed to protect you, your family, and property whether you are on the
premises or away.
This manual describes how to operate your system. It describes basic arming and disarming com-
mands as well as programming instructions for system features.
The dealer or installer may have already discussed with you many details concerning your sys-
tem. Specific setup information is included in “Appendix B: User Reference” on page 18.
Overview
Your security system is comprised of different components. Each component plays a special role
in system operation:
The Panel
The panel is at the heart of your system. It stores the intelligence to monitor all the
sensors and devices in the system. The panel is the piece of equipment that initiates
a call to the central station in an alarm situation. The panel has a touchpad for arm-
ing, disarming, checking status and entering data, such as access codes.
The DTIM
The Dialog™ Telephone Interface Module (DTIM) provides added security by separat-
ing the telephone interface from the panel. If the panel is damaged by fire or a break-in,
it still reports to the central monitoring station.
Door/Window Sensors
Door and window sensors protect the perimeter of your home by alerting the
panel when a door or window is opened.
Motion Detectors
Motion detectors in hallways or individual rooms detect a person moving across the
field of detection.
Environmental Sensors
Environmental sensors such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors remain
alert for the presence of fire or carbon monoxide 24 hours a day.
Communicating
with the Panel
Touchpads allow you to communicate with the panel. In turn, the system can be set up to commu-
nicate with you through:
• Status beeps from the panel speaker.
• Alarm sirens.
• Icons and scrolling text on the display.

2
Entering Commands
Most of your commands to the panel consist of this basic pattern:
COMMAND + ACCESS CODE
Not just anyone can walk up to a touchpad and operate your security system. Before the system
will process most commands, users are required to enter a pre-programmed 4-digit access code.
Keychain touchpads do not require an access code and are usually kept in an individual’s pocket
or purse.
User Interface
The panel uses a liquid crystal display (LCD) to communicate system status information. The
display uses icons and characters to display messages. If a message is longer than nine charac-
ters, the first nine characters are displayed and the rest of the message scrolls through in a mar-
quee fashion.
In addition to the Allegro panel touchpad, there are two other types of touchpads that can be used
with your panel.
Wireless Touchpad
Note
The Light Buttons do not
work on Allegro Systems.
This touchpad is wireless and can be carried from room to room.
Keychain Touchpad
Note
If an alarm is initiated with
this device, a different
device must be used to dis-
arm the system.
Keychain touchpads are handy for simple arming and disarming functions. They are
wireless and can be carried off-site in a purse or pocket.
The installer can program the touchpad to send a Police or Emergency panic alarm.
Note
The Keychain Touchpad has not been investigated by UL.
Beeps and LEDs— How Your System Talks to You
The panel siren produces a variety of operating beeps to inform you of different system states and
operations.
Key Beeps
A key beep is the tone you hear when you press a button on the panel or handheld wireless touch-
pad. The sound confirms that the button was adequately pressed.
Status Beeps
Status beeps come from the siren on the panel and are sounded when there is a change in the cur-
rent status of the system. Status beeps are not alarms, but they do warrant your attention.
There is more than one type of status beep:
• Exit Delay beeps indicate that an arming command has been entered and the countdown to
arming has begun. Exit and close the door behind you before the exit delay expires.
• Entry Delay beeps indicate that you’ve entered the building and the countdown to an alarm
has begun. Disarm the system as soon as you get in.
• Chime feature beeps tell you that a door was opened.
• Protest beeps inform you that you’re trying to arm the system while there is an open door or
window.
• Trouble beeps tell you that there is a problem with the system or one of its components.
Pressing the key will silence the trouble beeps. See “Trouble Beeps and Trouble Mes-
sages” on page 14 for more information.

• Sensor test beeps are the sounds the system makes during a sensor test to indicate the number
of packets the panel received.
LEDs
The touchpad has two LEDs which allow you to determine the current system status at a glance.
The red LED is labeled Armed and the green LED is labeled Ready. The tables below explain
LED behavior.
Alarms What Happens in an Alarm Condition
When there is an alarm condition, the following happens:
• The siren emits emergency tones.
• Panel notifies the central station for help.
Siren Time-out
If the system is not disarmed after an alarm, the sirens will continue to sound until the time-out
period is reached. The time-out period can only be programmed by your installer or dealer.
Even though reaching the time-out stops the sirens, the alarm will still be in progress and will
remain so until the system is manually disarmed.
Preventing Accidental Alarms
Your security system is engineered with advanced technology that reduces the chance of an acci-
dental alarm caused by a technical problem.
Most accidental alarms occur when leaving the residence after arming the system, or upon
returning, before disarming the system.
If, for example, you arm the system, then run to another room for something you forgot, the Exit
Delay time may expire. Once the Exit Delay expires, opening an armed door or moving in front
of an armed motion detector will cause an alarm or start the entry delay.
Aborting Accidental Alarms
Your system can be set up with the opportunity to abort an accidental intrusion, Police, or Emer-
gency alarm (fire alarms cannot be aborted).
If the Dialer Delay feature is turned on, you have a programmed amount of time (within 30 sec-
onds of event, or as set by your installer) to stop the panel before it sends a false alarm to the cen-
tral station. Talk to your installer or see “Appendix B: User Reference” on page 18 under “Dialer
Delay” to see if this feature is enabled.
Fire alarms are always reported. If an accidental fire alarm has sounded, follow the procedures of
your central monitoring station to prevent a false dispatch.

¾To abort a non-fire alarm:
1. Panel displays ENTER CODE + type of alarm.
2. Enter your access code.
The panel displays ABORTED and sounds one beep.
Guidelines for Preventing Accidental Alarms
¾Following these guidelines will go a long way toward preventing accidental alarms.
• Close doors and windows before you arm your system and leave your house.
• When getting ready to leave the house, gather the things you want to take with you so you can
exit immediately after arming the system.
• Always enter and exit within the programmed delay times.
• Make sure you leave through a door that has a delay time set for it. If you arm your system,
then leave through a door without a delay time, the siren will immediately sound the alarm
condition.
• When you return immediately disarm your system.
• Talk to the system installer to be aware of the devices in your security system and learn how
each one operates.
• Listen to system beeps. Take note of indicator lights and touchpad messages which indicate
the current system status.
• If you have pets, ask your installer if you need pet lenses in your motion detectors or pet
immune motion sensors. Pets climb higher than you may guess, causing alarms when you are
away.
• Check the location of your smoke detectors. Smoke detectors near bathrooms can be tripped
by steam from a shower. Smoke detectors near the kitchen can be tripped by excessive smoke
from cooking.
Panic Alarms
Panic alarms are easily activated from any touchpad to quickly alert the central monitoring sta-
tion to a Fire or Police emergency. A panic alarm can be sent at any time, regardless of the cur-
rent arming level.
This system is designed to inform a central monitoring station of the nature of the emergency so
the correct personnel can be dispatched immediately.
Each type of panic alarm sounds and reacts differently when activated.
Police Panic Alarm
The Police panic alarm sounds to scare off any intruder and alert neighbors to any trouble.
On monitored systems, the central monitoring station responds by calling the police.
¾To activate a Police panic alarm from the panel:
Press and hold the Police buttons until the panel responds.
¾To activate a Police panic alarm from the wireless touchpad:
Press and hold the Police buttons until the panel responds.
¾To activate a Police panic alarm from a keychain touchpad:
Press and hold the Lock and Unlock buttons at the same time for 2 seconds.

Fire Panic Alarm
If your system includes smoke and fire detectors, it monitors the premises for smoke and
fire alarms 24 hours a day and in all arming levels.
These alarms cannot be aborted and are always reported to the central station. Since many com-
munities charge for dispatching the fire department in error, your dealer may give you specific
instructions to follow in the event of an accidental smoke or fire alarm. Record these instructions
in Appendix B under “Accidental Smoke and Fire Alarms.”
¾To activate a Fire panic alarm from the panel:
Press and hold the Fire buttons until the panel responds.
Basic System
Operations
Table 4 describes the system’s basic panel keypad operating commands.
Arming and Disarming Your System
Since your security needs may vary throughout the day, this system was designed with three arm-
ing levels to meet these different needs. By arming your system to a particular level, only those
sensors programmed to detect in that arming level will report alarm conditions to the panel.

No matter which level your system is in, all sensors programmed to be active 24 hours a day will
continue to report alarm conditions. This includes smoke detectors, fire sensors, panic buttons,
and environmental sensors.
Arming Level 1—Disarmed
Turn off intrusion/burglary protection for your system when security is not a concern. This would
be when you are home and will be going both inside and out.
Sensors that will remain active:
• Environmental sensors (smoke, heat, carbon monoxide).
Sensors that will be inactive:
• Indoor motion sensors.
• Perimeter sensors such as doors and windows.
Here are some other situations in which you’d set the system to Level 1:
• Upon entering your armed home or business. When entering the armed premises through a
designated delay door, the Entry Delay time begins. The siren beeps to remind you to disarm
the system.
• Before opening a door or window in your home or business. When you wake up in the morn-
ing and want to get your newspaper, you must disarm the system before opening the door to
prevent an accidental alarm.
• Disarming the system turns off any sirens when an alarm condition occurs.
¾To disarm to Level 1 using the panel keypad:
1. Press once. The panel displays Enter Code TO DISARM.
2. Enter your access code. The panel displays the current time and the system sounds one beep.
¾To disarm to Level 1 using a keychain touchpad:
Press the button.
¾To disarm to Level 1 using a wireless touchpad:
1. Press the DISARM button.
2. Enter your access code.
Arming Level 2—Doors and Windows
Note
To arm to Level 2 from Level
3, you must first disarm the
system and then rearm it.
There are times when you want intrusion protection, but still want the freedom to move around
within your house without setting off an alarm. For example, in the evening when your family is
inside for the night. In this and similar situations, set your system to Level 2.
Level 1—Disarmed
Intrusion detection off. Smoke,
heat, and environmental sen-
sors remain active.
Level 3—Doors, Windows, and Motions
All perimeter and interior sensors are active.
Level 2—Doors and Windows
Perimeter protection is on. Interior
sensors are not active so people and
pets can move around freely.
Note
Smoke detectors,
fire sensors, and
other environmen-
tal sensors con-
tinue to report
alarms in all levels.

7
¾To arm to Level 2 using the panel keypad:
Note
If Quick Arm feature is on,
an access code is not
required to arm the system
to Level 2.
1. Close all protected perimeter doors and windows.
2. Press once. The panel displays Enter Code TO ARM.
3. Enter your access code. The panel displays EXIT TIME XX and Doors and
Windows. The system sounds two beeps.
4. If leaving the premises, exit through a designated delay door before the delay time expires.

¾To arm to Level 2 using a keychain touchpad:
Press the button. The system sounds two beeps.
¾To arm to Level 2 using a wireless touchpad:
1. Press Arm Doors and Windows button.
2. Enter your access code.
Arming Level 3—Doors, Windows, and Motions
At other times, you want every sensor to be alert, such as when the family goes on vacation, or at
business closing time.
In this and similar situations, set your system to Level 3 for maximum protection. All sensors are
active—perimeter door and window sensors and interior motion detectors.
¾To arm to Level 3 using the panel keypad:
Note
If Quick Arm feature is on,
an access code is not
required to arm the system
to Level 3.
1. Close all perimeter doors and windows.
2. Press twice. The panel displays, Enter Code TO ARM.
3. Enter your access code. The panel displays EXIT TIME XX and Motion Sensors, Doors and
Windows. The system sounds three short beeps.
4. Exit through a designated delay door before the delay time expires.
Note
See Keychain touchpad
arming section for other
arming options.
¾To arm to Level 3 using a keychain touchpad:
Press the button twice to go from Level 1 to Level 3, or once to go from Level 2 to Level
3. The system sounds three short beeps.
¾To arm to Level 3 using a wireless touchpad:
1. Press the ARM Motion Sensors button.
2. Enter your access code.
Arming Options
Quick Arm
The Quick Arm option lets you arm your system without using an access code. You will still need
to enter an access code to disarm the system. The dealer/installer can turn this feature on or off
for you. See Table B4: System Options, on page 19, to see if this feature is available to you.
¾To arm to Level 2 with Quick Arm enabled:
Press button once.
¾To arm to Level 3 with Quick Arm enabled:
Press button twice.
Keychain Touchpad Arming
Your installer can set up your keychain touchpad to arm the system in one of two
ways:
1. Press to arm the system directly to Level 3 with no delay. Using this method, you would
not be able to arm to Level 2 with your keychain touchpad.
OR

8
2. Press to increase the arming level each time it is pressed (Level 1 to Level 2, or Level 2 to
Level 3). The Exit Delay time will begin.
Quick Exit
Your system may be set up so that when your system is armed, you’re able to press the Quick Exit
button on the touchpad. This starts a 2 minute timer that allows one entry/exit door to be opened
without having to disarm and rearm the system.
This is useful when your system is armed and you want to quickly pop outside to pick up the
newspaper without disarming your system.
¾To use Quick Exit:
1. When the system is armed to Level 2 or 3, press the Quick Exit button. The panel displays
QUICK 120, and begins a 2 minute countdown.
2. Open door and exit.
3. Come back in within two minutes and close the door. The system will rearm after 2 minutes.
Chime Feature
Note
Chime feature can only be
turned on or off when in
Level 1.
When this feature is on, opening a door or window will cause the panel to beep twice and display
the sensor’s name.
¾To set chime feature on or off:
Press the chime button to turn the chime feature on or off. When on, the panel will alternate
between displaying the current time and CHIME ON.
Exit and Entry Delay Times
After arming your system, you need time to exit the building so you won’t set off an alarm. Like-
wise, upon returning to your home or business, you’ll need enough time to open the door and get
to a touchpad to disarm the system.
•Exit Delay is the period of time you have after arming the system to leave the premises
through a designated delay door.
•Entry Delay is the period of time you have to disarm the system after you open a designated
delay door.
Exit Delay Example
You’re about to go on an errand. You are inside your house and have just armed the system to
Level 3.
The panel siren sounds three quick status beeps, telling you that the system accepted the com-
mand and has started the Exit Delay time.
During the Exit Delay time, the system sounds one beep every four seconds. Exit the premises
before the delay time expires.
During the last 10 seconds of the Exit Delay you’ll hear one beep every second, warning you that
the Exit Delay is about to expire. At this point, leave quickly or disarm. When the delay expires,
there will be three more quick status beeps. These beeps indicate that the Exit Delay has ended.
Opening an armed door or window after the Exit Delay has expired will cause an alarm or start
the entry delay.
Entry Delay Example
You are returning to your house that is armed to Level 2 or 3. When you unlock and enter the des-
ignated delay door, the panel siren sounds one beep every four seconds. This tells you that the
Entry Delay time has begun and reminds you to disarm the system to avoid setting off an alarm.
During the last 10 seconds of Entry Delay you’ll hear one beep every second.
Your installer will work with you to decide which door(s) should be delay door(s), and determine
the delay times that will work best for you and your family. Then, the installer will program the
Exit and Entry Delay times into your system. The installer has recorded these times in Table B3:
Entry and Exit Delay Doors, on page 18.

9
Silent Exit
Use the Silent Exit feature to arm your system without disturbing people throughout the house
with arming status beeps. By pressing the silent exit button prior to arming or during the exit
delay will mute the time progress tones at the panel. If silent exit is selected, the exit delay is dou-
bled.
¾To use silent exit:
Press the Silent button, the button and then enter your code. The system will arm silently.
Exit Extension
Note
The Exit Extension will work
on the first re-entry only.
Your system may be set up so that the delay time is restarted if you re-open the delay door during
the initial delay time.
This is useful if, after arming the system, you walk out the door, then remember something you
forgot inside. You can re-enter and exit through the delay door without disarming and re-arming
the system.
If your system is not using this feature, you must disarm the system when you re-enter the armed
premises to avoid setting off an alarm. The dealer/installer can turn this feature on or off for you.
See Table B4: System Options, on page 19, to see if this feature is available to you.
No Delay—For Instant Alarm
You can choose to turn off the Entry and Exit Delays, causing the delay doors to arm immedi-
ately by pressing the No Delay button within 5 seconds of arming the system. Anyone entering or
exiting the house through the delay door when the system is set to No Delay would immediately
cause an alarm.
No Delay is normally used:
• When you’re staying at home, after you’ve armed the system.
• When you’re arming your house from the outside. (You must have an installer programmed
keychain touchpad with Keychain Touchpad Arm set to on in order to do this).
¾Arming to Level 2 (or 3) with no delay, using the panel keypad:
Note
If Quick Arm feature is on,
an access code is not
required.
1. Close all perimeter doors and windows.
2. Press once (or twice).
3. Enter your access code. The system sounds two (or three) beeps.
4. Immediately after hearing the beeps, press for No Delay. The panel displays the current time
and Doors and Windows - No Delay (or Motion Sensors, Doors and Windows - No Delay).
¾Arming to Level 2 (or 3) with no delay, using the wireless touchpad:
1. Press the desired arm button.
2. Enter your access code.
3. Press to eliminate the delay time.
Changing the arming level will restore delay doors to their normal Exit and Entry Delay times.
Note
Your installer/dealer can turn
this option on or off for you.
See Table B4: System
Options, on page 19 to see if
this feature is available to
you.
¾Arming directly to Level 3 with no delay using the keychain touchpad:
Press the once.
Auto STAY Arm
The Auto STAY Arming feature helps cut down on false alarms in the event that you arm the sys-
tem to Level 3, but fail to leave during the Exit Delay time. Here’s how it works:
If you arm the system to Level 3, and do not leave the premises within the Exit Delay time:
If feature
turned on.
The system can tell that no one opened and closed a delay door within the delay
time. It assumes that someone is still inside and the panel will arm to Level 2 to avoid
a false alarm. Your movement inside the premises will not cause an alarm.

10
Note
If arming to Level 3 with No
Delay, it cancels the Auto
Stay Arming feature.
The dealer/installer can turn this feature on or off for you. See Table B4: System Options, on
page 19, to see if this feature is available to you.
Arming While a Door or Window is Open
It is possible to arm your system while leaving a door or window open. This is useful if, for
example, you like to sleep at night with the window open.
Note
When a sensor is bypassed,
you are allowing that door or
window to go unprotected.
If the door or window has a sensor installed on it, the system must be told to ignore or bypass that
sensor when it’s open. All other sensors will remain active.
There are two methods for bypassing a sensor:
•Direct — After arming the system, bypass door/window sensors before you open them. You
must know the sensor name or number of the door or window you wish to bypass.
•Indirect — As you are arming, bypass sensors on already-open doors and windows. This
method should not be used in UL Listed installations.
Direct Bypass
Note
Direct bypassing of sensors
can only be done at the
panel.
Only the primary access code can be used to bypass/unbypass sensors directly. Only sensors that
are active in the current arming level can be bypassed. Attempting to bypass a sensor that is
already bypassed, will activate or unbypass the sensor.
Refer to Table B5: Sensor Information, on page 19 to determine what the sensor number is for
the sensor you wish to bypass.
¾To bypass sensors directly:
Note
If a key is not entered for five
seconds, the panel will exit
the bypass sensors mode.
1. Close all doors and windows.
2. Arm your system to the desired level.
3. Press (Bypass). The panel displays, Enter Code TO BYPASS.
4. Enter your primary access code. The panel displays the sensors that are active in that level
and can be bypassed in the system.
5. Use the and to scroll through the listed sensors.
6. Press (Select) to select the sensor to be bypassed.
Note
Heat, smoke, carbon mon-
oxide, and DTIM cannot be
bypassed.
7. The panel displays, ZONE XX OFF (bypassed) and the Press Status icon will turn on (the status
message will include bypassed and open sensors).
The bypassed door or window can now be opened.
Indirect Bypassing
Use this method if you are arming the system and would like to bypass doors and windows
already open.
¾To bypass sensors indirectly:
1. Leave open only those doors and windows that are to remain open. Close all others.
2. Arm your system to the desired level. The panel emits protest beeps and displays PROTEST
and ZONE XX OPEN.
3. Press (Bypass) to immediately bypass or allow the delay time to expire and the sensors will
bypass automatically.
4. The system sounds arming level beeps to indicate that the system is armed and open sensors
have been successfully bypassed.
Was the Bypass Successful?
Note
The panel lists bypassed
and opened sensors or
zones.
¾To confirm whether or not a sensor was bypassed:
Press (Status) on the panel touchpad.
¾To activate (unbypass) bypassed sensors (3 ways):
• Press (Bypass) and enter primary code. Select the sensor by using the arrow buttons.
Press to accept the sensor to be unbypassed. The panel displays, ZONE XX ON.
If feature
turned off.
The system arms to Level 3 regardless of whether or not a delay door has been
opened and closed.
Your movement inside the premises could activate a motion detector, causing an
alarm.

11
• Close bypassed doors and/or windows and arm your system again.
• Change arming levels or disarm system.
The system sounds arming level beeps to indicate that the system is armed and open sensors have
been successfully bypassed.
Checking the Status of Your System
Checking the system status means finding out about the current condition of your system. This
includes; finding out if any sensors are open or currently bypassed, whether or not the AC power
and backup battery are working, the nature of the most recent alarm, and more, depending on the
features in use and the equipment in your system.
Check the system status if:
• Your system sounds trouble beeps (four short beeps every minute).
• Your panel displays, Press Status.
If an alarm or system trouble condition has occurred, it is displayed on the panel when you per-
form a status check.
If any system trouble is active, it continues to show up in every status check until the trouble has
been corrected.
¾To get a system status:
Press (Status) on the panel or wireless touchpad.
The system sounds beeps according to the current arming level. One beep for Level 1, two beeps
for Level 2, and three beeps for Level 3.
Note
If all troubles have been
resolved, press (Status)
twice to clear alarm memo-
ries.
The panel displays the following status information:
• Alarm memory events following the disarming of the panel.
• Abnormal sensor conditions (open, bypassed, supervisory condition, low battery, or trouble).
• System troubles are displayed.
If there are no current troubles, alarms, or events in alarm memory, the display shows, System is
ok.
Programming

Testing the
System
You should test the system periodically. The system contains a test mode that allows you to test
sensors without creating false alarms in monitored systems.
Refer to “Appendix A: Troubleshooting” on page 16 if correct test results are not achieved.
Automatic Test Features
Your security system conducts routine tests, checking for problems like power failures, low bat-
teries, sensors that aren’t working, and communication trouble with the central monitoring sta-
tion.
When your system detects a problem, trouble beeps sound to alert you. See “Trouble Beeps and
Trouble Messages” on page 14 and “Trouble Beeps” on page 22 for an explanation of the causes
of trouble beeps and what you can do to fix the problem.
Manual Tests
There are also weekly system tests you can do yourself as an added safeguard. Taking time to do
these tests will familiarize you with your system and alert you to anything unusual, such as sen-
sors that have been tampered with.
Sensor Test
This test verifies that the sensors in your system are operating correctly. We recommend that you
test sensors/zones once weekly.
• DTIM and battery tests are performed at the start of the sensor test. The panel will display the
DTIM zone number and beep once for every received transmission.
• The panel will beep indicating the number of transmissions received, (see Table 6: Sensor
“Tripping” Instructions), and display <SENSOR NAME> + OK to indicate the panel heard from the
sensor. For the first 10 to 20 seconds of test, the volume is set to a lower level.
• Panel will automatically leave sensor test after 15 minutes.
• To extend a sensor test, or restart the sensor list, press 1. This also restarts the 15 minute
timer.
• The panel will display TEST DONE when all sensors have been tested.
¾To perform a sensor test:
1. Press until you see sensor test.
2. Press . The display scrolls through untested zones, and beeps to indicate successful
sensor packets. Count the number of beeps and refer to Table 6 for the number required.
3. Trip each sensor. (Open door or window)
The panel will display TEST DONE when all sensors have been tested.

14
If a Wireless Sensor Does Not Test Successfully
Note
Contact your installer/dealer
if this occurs.
If the panel sounds less than the required number of beeps when a zone/sensor is tripped, this
indicates wireless sensor signal strength is below acceptable limits. Distance from the receiver
and/or installation environment are most likely affecting the sensor’s signal strength.
Phone Communication Test
The purpose of this test is to verify that the connection between the central monitoring station
and your system are working properly.
Most phone tests take only a few minutes, however, your system will try for up to 15 minutes to
establish a connection.
¾To perform a phone test:
1. Press until phone test is displayed.
2. Press to initiate a phone test. Within 5 minutes the panel will display TEST PASS or TEST
FAIL.
Exiting User Programming Mode
After all user programming is completed, use the following procedure to exit programming
mode.
¾To exit programming mode:
1. Press until EXIT is displayed.
2. Press to exit. The current time is displayed.
Or
If instructed by your installer/dealer to initiate a downloader session, enter your primary
access code.

your installer/dealer. If the problem is not corrected, trouble beeps and messages will restart 4
hours, (if fire related) to10 hours (if non-fire related) later.
Cleaning the
Panel
When your panel needs cleaning, use a soft cloth, glass cleaner or mild soapy water. Spray the
glass cleaner on the soft cloth or slightly dampen it with the soapy water and gently wipe clean
the panel display.
Do not spray the glass cleaner on the display or let any liquid run down into the panel as
this could damage your system.

Appendix A: Troubleshooting
Feature Problem Action/Solution
Panel Power
Panel display indicates System Low Battery.
Note
If AC power was out for a long period of time, the battery may not be fully charged.
The power in the emergency backup battery is low and must be recharged or replaced. If AC
power is out, the security system may shut down once the battery is below the operating level.
When AC power is restored, the panel will recharge the battery. If the trouble condition exists
24 hours after AC power is restored, contact your installer/dealer.
After pressing STATUS the panel flashes AC Fail or displays AC Power Failure/AC Failure, (panel continues
to operate from backup battery).
The panel power transformer may be unplugged or there may be an AC power outage. If the
transformer is plugged in, check the circuit breaker or fuse that controls that outlet.
The backup battery will take over, but if AC power is not restored within 15 minutes, the system
will alert you and the central monitoring station.
Access Code
Customer cannot remember access code(s).
Contact your installer/dealer.
Important !
To maintain security, you should always change your access code if anyone has had access to it!
Arming/Disarming
System protests and will not immediately arm.
1. Make sure all monitored perimeter doors and windows are closed.
2. Make sure all perimeter and interior sensors are closed.
3. Press STATUS for an indication of the problem.
4. If problem cannot be fixed, the sensor may be temporarily bypassed, see bypass section.
5. Contact your installer/dealer.
Bypassing
Sensor to bypass is not listed.
Sensor is not active in the current arming level.
Phone
Panel displays phone 1, phone 2, or phone failure.
1. Perform a phone test.
2. Perform a sensor test to verify communication between the DTIM and panel.
3. Contact your installer/dealer.
Wireless Sensor/Touchpad Battery
System indicates Sensor/Touchpad low battery.
1. To avoid a false alarm, initiate a Sensor Test (see page 9), and then replace the indicated
device battery. Test the sensor/touchpad after replacing the battery.
Note
If the sensor/touchpad is not tested after battery replacement, the system continues to show a low
battery condition, since that was the last signal it received from the device. Testing the sensor/
touchpad with new batteries allows the panel to receive a signal with good battery information.
Wireless Sensor Zone or DTIM
System doesn’t respond (in sensor test or when armed) when sensor is tripped.
Contact your installer/dealer.
Sensor or DTIM reports trouble condition.
