Congratulation on purchasing one of the most advanced security systems on the market.
This system consists of a main control unit, one or more keypads, and various contact
sensors and detectors. The control unit is generally placed in an out of sight location
such as a closet, utility room, etc. It houses the main electronics and a backup battery
for standby power. Ordinarily, there is no reason for anyone except the installer or ser-
vice personnel to have access to the control unit.
Keypads are the primary user interface, and they display the current system status using
their LCD screen and LED lights. Keypads also produce audible feedback at appropri-
ate times. Generally speaking, a keypad is installed adjacent to any primary entry/exit
door(s).
THIS MANUAL IS PROVIDED TO ACQUAINT YOU WITH THE OPERATION OF THE
SYSTEM AND HELP YOU BECOME PROFICIENT WITH IT’S OPERATION. ALL
USERS SHOULD READ AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS AND CAUTIONS
IN THIS MANUAL. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN THE SYSTEM
NOT WORKING PROPERLY. KEEP THIS MANUAL IN AN EASY TO ACCESS
LOCATION. READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. IF YOU
DO NOT UNDERSTAND ANY PORTION OF THIS MANUAL OR IF YOU HAVE ANY
QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR SYSTEM, CONTACT THE INSTALLING COMPANY FOR
ASSISTANCE.
PLEASE BE AWARE OF THE FOLLOWING:
The level of security obtained is directly related to two major factors.
1. The quantity, quality, and placement of sensors attached to this system.
2. The knowledge and operating skills that you have of the system, including but not
limited to the weekly testing of the complete system.
Important notes when preparing a security/safety plan for your home or business:
1. This system is an electronic device and like any electronic device is subject to
failure or malfunction.
2. This system will not work without power.
3. This system should be tested weekly.
4. Audible warning devices will need to be loud enough, wired correctly, and properly
placed to provide adequate notication of an alarm event.
5. Smoke and heat detectors may not detect smoke and heat in all situations.
6. Only qualied security professionals should install and maintain this system.
7. It may be possible to arm this system WITHOUT the backup battery connected or
with less than an adequate charge. Weekly testing of the system with AC Power
removed should be performed to verify that the battery is connected and adequately
charged.
8. Care should be taken after testing to make certain that AC Power is restored.

Operating The System
Read this entire section before attempting to operate the system.
User Codes
<> User Codes are required for arming, disarming, and to authorize certain features
of your system. User codes can be either 4 or 6 digits (refer to System Notes).
<> If a mistake is made while entering a user code, press the asterisk key and enter
the code again.
<> To prevent someone from hunting for a code the system can be set to temporarily
lockout the keypad after repeated incorrect codes. Consult your installer or
installation record sheet for the number of incorrect attempts allowed.
Checking the Ready Status
<> When the Ready light is off, one or more zones are violated. The display will show
“Not Ready x Zn” where the x represents the number of violated zones. The system
cannot be armed until you secure or bypass the violated zone(s).
<> To identify violated zones, press the UP arrow key repeatedly to view each zone
by name and number. If a zone is programmed as bypassable, you may bypass it
(permanently exclude it) for the immediate arming cycle by pressing the Bypass key
+ zone number + the Bypass key again. The display will show “Ready w/Bypass”
once the system is ready to be armed. The Bypass key may require the entering
of a user code with an appropriate authority. NOTE: Zones not programmed as
bypassable must be secured before the system can be armed.
<> When the Ready light is on steady the alarm system is ready to be armed. The
display will show “Ready to Arm”.
<> If the Ready light is ashing, it indicates the system can be armed even though
one or zones are violated. This only occurs if the violated zones are programmed
as force-armable. Arming will temporarily exclude these violated zones from the
system. If a force armed zone becomes secure while the system is armed, it will
automatically become live, meaning that it can activate an alarm if violated. This
feature is handy for a garage door. The system can be armed while the door is up.
After backing out of the garage and closing the door, the garage door will become
normal and it will be re-included into service.

M1 Cross Platform Control - User Guide
