Emergency Evacuation Plans
The National Fire Protection Association recommends that you
establish an emergency evacuation plan to safeguard lives in the event
of a fire or other emergency. Use the following steps as a guide.
Draw a floorplan of your home or business
On a clean sheet of paper, draw the walls, windows, doors, and
stairs. Also draw any obstacles, such as large furniture or appliances,
that a person may encounter while exiting the building.
Develop escape routes
Determine at least two routes the occupants in each room can
take to safely escape. One route can be the most obvious such as
the door. Another can be through a window that can be easily
opened. If the window is high off the ground, an escape ladder
should be provided.
Draw arrows on the floorplan to show escape routes from each room.
Decide where to meet
Prearrange a meeting place outside and away from where emergency
personnel are likely to be working. A neighbor's house or across
the street in the front of the house are good locations. Always
perform a head count to make sure all occupants safely exited.
NEVER ENTER A BURNING BUILDING. If the head count shows one
or more persons missing, give this information immediately to the
authorities. Never enter a building to look for someone.
Practice your escape plans
Devising an escape plan is only the beginning, before the plan can
be effective everyone should practice the escape routes from
each room.
Early detection
The best way to survive a fire or other emergency is to get out
early. The installation of a fire alarm system, with smoke and
carbon monoxide detectors in each room, can greatly decrease
your risk of loss or injury.

About Your Security System
The Security Command system has been designed with your safety
and comfort in mind. It uses the latest in computer based
technology to create the most advanced, user-friendly security,
fire, and access control system available.
The Security Command keypad makes the system very easy to use
by providing you with simple displays to offer the full range of
features requested by today’s security system owners. Security
Command can protect both the interior and perimeter of your
home or business while you are away or just the perimeter when
you are inside.
You can turn portions of your protection on or off at any time by
pressing a few keys, or have the system turn on or off automatically
by entering a simple schedule. You can add, delete, and change
personal user codes or check the status of system devices.
Parts of the System
There are two main parts to the Security Command system, the
Security Command keypad and the keypad User Menu.
Security Command Keypad
This is the device we have placed at certain locations throughout
the premises that allow you to turn the system’s protection on and
off using your personal user code.
Keypad User Menu
The keypad also provides a simple User Menu containing all of the
functions you need to fully operate your system such as changing
the time of day or a personal user code.
A Note About False Alarms
One of the most important concerns facing the security industry
today is false alarms. The accidental dispatching of police and fire
agencies places others in jeopardy by limiting the response capability
of those emergency service units. We take this concern seriously and
have spent many hours training our employees to recognize the
causes of false alarms and prevent them from occurring.
As part of our commitment to reducing false alarms, we would like
to encourage you to read this guide thoroughly. All the information
contained here can help you quickly, and comfortably, learn the
operation of the Security Command system. If you have any
additional questions, or feel that you need more training, please
do not hesitate to contact us.
Test Your System Weekly
It is recommended that you test the burglary portion of your system
at least once each week. Testing should involve an active test of all
doors, windows, and motion detectors connected to your system.
If your system also has fire protection, call the service department
to find out how this portion of your system should be tested.
Refer to the System Test section of this guide for instructions on
testing the burglary portion of your system.

Special Security Command Displays
As you use your system, you will occasionally see a keypad display
that asks you to enter a code or that describes a condition on the
system. Below are some examples of the displays you will see:
ALARM
A 24-hour zone, such as a fire or panic zone, or an armed burglary
zone has been tripped. Your system may sound bells or sirens.
TROUBLE
There is a problem with a protection device or system component.
This display is accompanied by a description of the problem.
ENTER CODE
The system requires you to enter your user code. User codes can
be required for turning your system on (arming), turning your
system off (disarming), and many other functions.
As you enter your user code, the keypad display shows an asterisk
(*) in place of each digit pressed. This keeps others from seeing
your user code on the display as you enter it.
TRY AGAIN or INVALID CODE
The user code you have entered is not recognized by the system.
Check the user code and try again.
FAULT
In some cases you might see the keypad display FRONT DOOR —
FAULT. If you see a —FAULT display, attempt to correct the
problem, in this case by shutting the door. After the zone is in a
normal state again, you may arm the system. If the zone is not a 24-
hour zone, you may bypass the zone and then arm the system.
Introduction
INVALID LEVEL
All user codes have authority levels that allow the user to only
access certain functions. When a user attempts a function outside
their authority, the INVALID LEVEL message displays.
INVALID TIME
A level 1 or 2 user code has been entered outside of the valid
schedule. See Schedules and User Codes.
SYSTEM TROUBLE or SERVICE REQUIRED
There is a problem with one or more of the components in your
system. Contact our service department as soon as possible.
SYSTEM BUSY
The Security Command system is performing another task of a
higher priority. This usually only takes a few moments.
Special Wireless Displays
Your system may use radio transmitters to send alarm and trouble
information from the protection devices to the panel. Wireless
systems operate the same as hardwired and also have a few unique
keypad displays.
BACK DOOR - LOBAT – (Low Battery) The battery in a radio
transmitter is low. (BACK DOOR is used as an example only.)
BACK DOOR - MISNG - (Missing) The panel is not receiving the radio
transmitter's periodic test report.
WIRELESS - TRBL - (Trouble) Some part of your wireless system is
operating improperly. Test the system to locate the trouble.

4Introduction
Special Security Command Tones
Your keypad also contains a small speaker that allows it to alert you
to events as they occur on your system. Below are brief descriptions
of the different tones you will hear from the keypad:
Fire Alarm tone: An intermittent sweeping siren that sounds until
the fire alarm is silenced, on LCD keypads only.
Burglary Alarm tone: A constant siren tone at maximum volume
that continues until the alarm is silenced, on LCD keypads only.
Key press tone: A short beep each time you press a key on the
keypad and it’s acknowledged by the system.
Prewarn tone: A continuous pulsed tone that sounds when you
open an entry delay door on a system that is armed (turned on)
reminding you to disarm the burglary protection.
Monitor tone: A one-second tone that sounds whenever a door or
window is opened while you are using the zone monitor function
from the User Menu. LCD keypads sound a door bell chime. See
Zone Monitor.
Trouble tone: A steady tone indicating a trouble condition on your
system. Press a Select key to silence.
What to do when the trouble tone is sounding
You can silence the trouble tone by pressing any one of the
top row Select keys. This only silences the keypad and does
not correct the condition that originally caused the trouble.
Understanding Security System Terms
Throughout this guide, and in some displays on your keypad, you
will see certain words or phrases that might be unfamiliar.
Although every effort has been made to use terms that are
commonly known, there are some for which there was no
acceptable substitute.
Below are some terms you will see here and on your keypad display:
Arming
This is the term used for turning on the burglary protection in one
or more areas of the system. Your system may require you to enter
a user code. When armed, the system is able to sound alarm bells
or sirens and, if monitored, send alarm reports to a central station
when a burglary zone is tripped.
Fire, panic, and other 24-hour devices are always turned on and
do not need to be armed.
Disarming
This means turning off one or more areas of the system. When
disarmed, the system does NOT sound alarms or send alarm reports
to a central station when a burglary zone is faulted.
Zone
A zone refers to one or more protected openings (doors or
windows) or protection devices (motion or glassbreak detectors)
grouped together under the same zone name and number.
Often, similar devices in the same general area will share the same
zone. For example, the windows on the east side of the premises
can all be grouped together in a zone named E. WINDOWS.
