About the TouchCenter
Introduction
Congratulations on your ownership of a Honeywell 6280 Series TouchCenter keypads which combines security and
home automation. You've made a wise decision in choosing it, for it represents the latest in security protection
technology today.
This security system offers you burglary protection and provides fire, carbon monoxide and emergency protection. To
realize the full potential of the system, it is important that you feel comfortable operating it.
Your system may consist of one or more of the following:
•6280S (black/silver housing)
•6280W (white housing)
•One or more other keypads for security system control
•Various sensors for perimeter and interior burglary protection, plus a selected number of strategically placed
smoke, carbon monoxide or combustion detectors
•Lighting/output devices.
The system uses microcomputer technology to monitor all zones, and provides appropriate information for display on
the TouchCenter and/or other keypads used with the system. Your system may also have been programmed to
automatically transmit alarm or status messages over the phone lines to a central alarm monitoring station.
The TouchCenter Interface
The 6280 Series graphical touch-screen keypads are Advanced User Interface (AUI) devices, which combine control
of your security system, multi-media and premises lighting. With clear, simple controls on a touch-screen interface,
the TouchCenter is both easy to learn and easy to use.
As a security and home-automation interface, the TouchCenter may be accessed for:
•Quick and easy security system operation
•Multi-Media operation
•Message storage and retrieval
•Home output control
Navigating through the TouchCenter
Navigation through the TouchCenter typically begins from the "Home" screen. This is the TouchCenter’s main
default screen (starting screen) and is the first screen you see when the TouchCenter is powered up and initialized.
It is from this screen that you select from the main menu. Once you have made your selection, you can navigate
through various sub-menus by touching graphical icons or icons to perform the function you desire.

How to Disarm the System
IMPORTANT: If you return to your home or business and the main burglary sounder is on, DO NOT enter the premises, but call
the police from a nearby safe location. If you return to your home or business after an alarm has occurred and the main sounder
has shut itself off, the TouchCenter beeps rapidly upon entering, indicating that an alarm has occurred during your absence.
LEAVE IMMEDIATELY and CONTACT THE POLICE from a nearby safe location.
The system may be disarmed using either of two methods. One method is employed when you enter the premises
and the other is when you have been in the premises with the system armed (i.e., Stay and Night arming modes).
To disarm the system when entering the premises:
The TouchCenter automatically displays the Entry Delay Active screen when you enter the premises:
ICON ACTION NOTES
1. Enter your 4-digit user code. The partition is disarmed and the "Arming" screen is displayed showing the

To disarm the system when already in the premises:
ICON ACTION NOTES
1. Touch the DISARM icon.
2. Enter your 4-digit user code.
3. Touch the ALL button if you wish to
disarm the system.
Note: If you wish to disarm only selected partitions,
you must first highlight the partition(s) to be

•If the “Arm Multi-Partitions” feature is not enabled, the TouchCenter beeps
once, the system disarms, and the "Arming" screen is displayed showing the
system as Ready to Arm or Not Ready Fault if any zone is faulted (open).
•If the “Arm Multi-Partitions” feature is enabled, the Partition Description
screen is displayed listing the partitions to which you have access.
The TouchCenter beeps once and the "Arming" screen is displayed showing
the system as Ready to Arm or not ready if any zone is faulted (open).
Note: Once the system is disarmed, the TouchCenter returns to the "Home"
screen after the selected “To Homepage After” time has expired.
How to Check the Status of Other Partitions
This system supports between one and eight Partitions (depending on the system.) Partitioning enables a single
physical alarm system to control up to eight areas of protection (partitions) depending on the system you have
purchased. Each TouchCenter and other keypad is assigned a default partition for display purposes, and shows only
that partition's information.
Note: A letter “P” following the partition name or number indicates that this is the default partition for the
TouchCenter.
For example, if your physical site is a four-apartment housing unit, your alarm system may be configured with four
partitions. Each apartment’s zones (door, windows, smoke detectors, etc.) are assigned to separate partitions, giving
each apartment independent arming/disarming control of its own partition (area). A landlord or manager may be
granted access to all partitions, so he/she can control the entire system.
If a user is so authorized, a TouchCenter or other keypad in one partition can be used to perform system functions in
another partition. (Note that only those partitions authorized and programmed by the installer can be accessed in
this manner.) To check the status of other partitions perform the following:
ICON ACTION NOTES
1. Touch the SECURITY icon.
2. Touch the "Current Partition" icon (lower
edge of the screen; in this case it displays P1).
This screen displays the available partitions and their current status.
The current partition is shown at the top of the display (P1). To change this
assignment, select the appropriate icon (e.g., touch P2 to switch control to
Partition 2).
3. Enter the code authorized to access other
partition(s).
If the code is accepted, the system displays
the partitions that user has access to.
Note: After leaving this screen when using a residential panel, the selected
partition in the TouchCenter automatically reverts back to the
TouchCenter’s home partition after two minutes. When using commercial
panels, you must select the TouchCenter’s home partition to return to it.

Security (cont'd)

Fire and Carbon Monoxide Alarm Operation
Your fire alarm system and carbon monoxide detector (if installed) is on 24 hours a day, providing continuous
protection. In the event of an emergency, the installed smoke, heat, carbon monoxide detectors automatically send
signals to your Control/Communicator, triggering a loud interrupted sound from the keypad. An interrupted sound
is also produced by optional exterior sounders. EVACUATE ALL OCCUPANTS FROM THE PREMISES
IMMEDIATELY. Notify your Central Station/Security Company immediately and wait for further instructions.
In Case of Fire Alarm
1. A FIRE message appears at your keypad and remains on until you silence the alarm.
2. Should you become aware of a fire emergency before your detectors sense the problem, go to your nearest keypad
and manually initiate an alarm by touching the panic key assigned as FIRE emergency (if programmed by the
installer) and hold down for at least 2 seconds.
3. Evacuate all occupants from the premises.
4. If flames and/or smoke are present, leave the premises and notify your local Fire Department immediately.
Silencing and Clearing a Fire/Carbon Monoxide Alarm
1. Silence, acknowledge, and clear the alarm by:
a. For Residential Systems: Touch “Touch here to Silence” on the display to silence the alarm.
For Commercial Systems: Enter your code. This silences and acknowledges the alarm and the disarming
of the system (if armed).
b. For Residential Systems: Touch the CLEAR icon followed by your code. This acknowledges the alarm and
the disarming of the system (if armed).
For Commercial Systems: Touch the CLEAR icon followed by your code. The system attempts to clear the
alarm from memory. If NOT successful (i.e., smoke in the detector) the Security screen is displayed and the
Display Faults icon displays a “Not Ready Fault”.
c. Touch the DISPLAY FAULTS icon on the Arming screen. The faulted fire/carbon monoxide zone is displayed.
d. Touch the CLEAR icon and then enter your code. This clears the Fire Alarm/CO Alarm from the system.
2. If the keypad does not indicate a READY condition after the second sequence, touch the DISPLAY FAULTS
icon on the Arming screen to display the zone(s) that are faulted. Be sure to check that smoke detectors/carbon
monoxide detectors are not responding to smoke, heat, or gas producing objects in their vicinity. In this case,
eliminate the source of heat, smoke or leak.
3. If this does not remedy the problem, there may still be smoke/gas in the detector. Clear it by fanning the
detector for about 30 seconds.
4. When the problem has been corrected, clear the display by touching the DISPLAY FAULTS icon on the Arming
screen, selecting the fire or carbon monoxide zone, touching the CLEAR icon and then entering your user code.
Note: Contact your Central Station/Security Company for servicing if you have further problems with your system.
