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.

5
Entry or Exit zone
Almost all systems have one or more doors through which you can
enter or exit the premises. These doors are programmed with a
delay time to allow you to enter or exit without setting off the alarm.
When you arm the system, activity on this zone is ignored until the
programmed exit delay time expires. Once that time has expired
and the system is fully armed, opening the door causes the panel
to start the entry delay time. During the entry delay time, you must
enter a valid user code to disarm the system or an alarm will occur.
Instant Zone
Exterior windows and non entry doors, or interior protection
devices, are typically not programmed with delay times. If these
zones are tripped while the system is armed, an alarm occurs
instantly.
24-Hour Zone
A 24-hour zone is not turned on or off by arming or disarming your
system. Some examples of 24-hour zones are fire zones, panic
zones, and temperature control zones.
Areas
An area is made up of burglary zones that can be armed or disarmed
together. One area might consist of the office doors and windows.
When you arm the office, these zones arm together and sound an
alarm if opened.
Central Station Monitoring
Your system can also be programmed to automatically send alarm,
trouble, and arming and disarming reports to a central station.
Operators at the central station can in turn dispatch the appropriate
authorities or contact you with the specific event information.
Status
Status is a feature that automatically displays the armed or disarmed
status of your system on the Security Command keypads. There are two
types of status information available: Armed Status and Status List.
Armed Status
With Armed Status, the keypad displays the current armed
condition of areas within your security system. For example:
When you arm areas 1 to 4, the keypad shows = 1234
When you arm areas 1 and 3, the keypad shows = 13
If your system is setup as an All/Perimeter or Home/Away system
and both the interior and perimeter is armed the display reads:
ALL SYSTEM ON
Also, for keypads that include an Armed LED, the Armed LED is ON
steady anytime a burglary protection area is armed and is OFF
when ALL areas are disarmed.
Status List
The keypad Status List displays any alarm or trouble condition on a
zone and on the internal system monitor. The system monitors
include the AC power, battery power, panel box tamper, printer, and
phone lines. If more than one alarm or trouble condition occurs at
the same time, the keypad sequences this information on its display.
If the alarm is from a 24-hour zone or a system monitor, it remains
in the Status List until it restores. If one or more armed burglary
zones trip at the same time, the last one to trip remains in the
Status List. This is to ensure that if a burglary has occurred the last
zone tripped remains displayed even if it has been restored.
View Zone Status
To view the disarmed zones that are in fault, press a top row select
key when the status list is displayed.
Introduction

General Arming Operation
Your system has been programmed to operate in one of three
modes: Area Arming, All/Perimeter, or Home/Away.
• Area Arming - Your burglary protection is divided into areas. Each
area has a custom name, can be turned on or off independent of
other areas, and can have different schedules and authorized
users.
• All/Perimeter - Your burglary protection is divided into two
areas, Interior and Perimeter. You can turn on the just the
Perimeter protection while inside for security or turn on both as
you leave.
• Home/Away - Perimeter, Interior, and a Bedrooms area you can
leave turned off at night while you are sleeping.
Regardless of how your system has been programmed, much of the
operation is similar. Throughout this guide, any differences
between the systems are noted for your convenience.
Arming Functions
After making your arming selection, the keypad displays any zones
that are currently bypassed. These zones remain bypassed until
the system is armed and then disarmed. Any 24-hour zones in a
faulted condition are also displayed.
Before arming, the system verifies that all doors, windows, and
other protection devices to be armed are in a normal condition.
If everything is okay, the system arms. If there is a problem on one
or more burglary zones the system cannot arm until the problem
is corrected. If the problem is simply an open door or window,
correct the problem and try arming again.
Introduction
If the problem cannot be corrected, you can force arm or bypass
the zone or wait until the zone can be repaired by a service
technician. A force armed zone is ignored by the system until it
restores to normal. A bypassed zone is ignored by the system
during the entire armed period. A zone remains bypassed until the
system is disarmed. 24-hour zones cannot be bypassed.
In some cases, you might see the keypad display FRONT DOOR —
FAULT. The keypad may then display PRIORITY ZONE which is a
zone that cannot be bypassed. The problem on the zone must be
corrected before the system can be armed.
Armed Message: After all bypassing is completed or zone faults
corrected, the keypad briefly displays ALL SYSTEM ON if all areas
in the system are arming and SYSTEM ON if only selected areas are
arming. The keypad then displays and counts down the exit delay
time. When the exit delay time expires, all disarmed zones are
armed.
If your system uses a keyswitch to arm an area, the exit delay time
is NOT shown on the keypad display.
ONE MOMENT . . . Message: If your system is monitored, it may be
programmed to wait for the transmission of an arming report to the
central station before the armed message displays. See Arming
Report below. This is to verify your phone lines are working
properly. While the system is waiting for the transmission, the
display reads ONE MOMENT... If the report is received, the keypad
displays the armed message. If the report is not received, the
keypad displays LOCAL ALARM ONLY before the armed message
displays.
Arming Report: Your system can be programmed to send arming
or zone bypassing reports to a central station. This feature is
optional and can be programmed for you at any time.

7
Area System Arming
Area Assignment: Your security system has been set up into
separate areas. The number of areas and their names are listed in
the back of this guide.
Arming or Disarming: You can arm and disarm all areas at one time
or each area individually. You can only arm or disarm areas
authorized for your user code.
Arm all or Selective Arming: After entering your user code, the
system allows you to arm either all of the areas to which you have
access or one or more selected areas. If you choose to arm all
areas, the system begins verifying that all zones in those areas are
in a good condition. If you choose to arm selected areas, the
system prompts you to choose the areas you want to arm.
Arming an Area System
1. Press the COMMAND key until ARM DISARM is displayed.
2. Select ARM to arm the system.
3. Enter your user code if required.
The display reads ALL? NO YES.

to AREAS: . The area numbers you select appear in the display.
For example: AREAS: 2 4 . Press COMMAND when done.
6. The system displays any bypassed zones or faulted 24-hour or
Priority zones. A faulted Priority zone cannot be armed.
7. At this point you can force arm or bypass any faulted zones.
A zone that is force armed restores into the system if it later
returns to normal. A zone that is bypassed remains bypassed
until the system is disarmed. See steps 7a through 7d.
7a. If a problem exists on a zone, the zone name and problem
is shown followed by: OKAY BYPASS STOP.
7b. Select OKAY to force arm the faulted zone.
7c. Select BYPASS to bypass all faulted zones being displayed.
Note: You cannot bypass 24-hour zones.
7d. Select STOP to stop the system from arming. Correct the
zone problem(s) and return to step 1.
8. The display reads SYSTEM ON if at least one area in the system
is armed, and ALL SYSTEM ON if all areas in the system are
armed.
9. The keypad then displays the exit time in seconds and counts
down the remaining time: EXIT : ## (## = seconds remaining)
The exit zones arm when the delay time expires.

8Arming and Disarming
Area System Disarming
Disarming: While the system is armed, you can only enter the
premises through an entry/exit delay door without causing an
alarm. After opening the door, the Security Command keypad
sounds a prewarn tone to remind you to disarm the system. You
must disarm the system before the entry delay time expires or an
alarm on the door zone will occur.
During the entry delay time, the keypad displays ENTER CODE:.
Enter your code to disarm the system. Only those areas assigned
to your code will disarm.
Schedules: If you have programmed schedules for your system and
a level 2 code is entered outside of a schedule, the keypad displays
INVALID TIME. This lets the user know that they are disarming
outside of their authorized time. If your system is monitored, an
Unauthorized Entry report is sent to the central station.
All or Selective Disarming: After entering your user code, the
system allows you to disarm either all of the areas to which you
have access or just selected areas. If you choose to disarm all
areas, the system automatically disarms them. If you choose to
disarm selected areas, the names of those areas will be displayed
on the keypad.
Alarm Display: After disarming, the keypad displays any zones that
tripped or any transmission problems that occurred during the
armed period. All burglary zones are then disarmed and any
bypassed zones are automatically reset.
Disarmed Message: The keypad displays ALL SYSTEM OFF after the
system disarms.
Central Station Report: A report of the system disarming can be
transmitted to the central station. This is optional and can be
programmed for you at any time.
Disarming an Area System
1. Press the COMMAND key until ARM DISARM is displayed.
During entry delay this process starts at step 3.

3. The keypad displays ENTER CODE: . Enter your user code and
press COMMAND. The keypad displays ALL? NO YES.
4. Select YES to disarm all areas authorized for your user code.
Select NO to disarm only certain areas individually. The keypad
then displays the name of each area authorized for your user
code followed by the NO YES display.
Choose YES to disarm the area displayed.
Choose NO to not disarm and to display the next area.
Note: You can also just press the area numbers you want to
disarm while at the ALL? NO YES display. This changes the
display to AREAS: . The area numbers you select appear in the
display. For example: AREAS: 2 4 . Press COMMAND when
done.
5. After all areas have been displayed, any alarms or communication
problems that occurred during the armed period are displayed.
6. If all areas have been disarmed, the keypad next displays ALL
SYSTEM OFF.

9
All/Perimeter System Arming
Area Assignment: Your security system is divided into two
separate areas. Motion detectors, inside doors, and other interior
protection devices are assigned to the Interior area while windows
and exterior doors are assigned to the Perimeter area.
Perimeter or All: When you go to arm an All/Perimeter system, the
Security Command keypad displays PERIM ALL. If you select ALL,
you are arming both the Perimeter and the Interior areas of the
system. You will want to arm both of these areas when leaving the
premises with nobody left inside. Selecting PERIM arms only the
perimeter of the system. Perimeter arming is for when you’re
staying inside but want the comfort of knowing the exterior doors
and windows are armed. Perimeter arming allows you to move
freely about inside without setting off any interior alarms.
Instant: During the exit delay time, you can cancel the exit and
entry delays and cause all zones to be instant zones. Just press the
far right Select key under INSTNT while the exit delay is displayed.
This immediately arms the exit zones. However, no entry delay is
provided and an alarm will occur should an entry door be opened.
System Ready/System Not Ready
When all zones in the system are in a normal condition and can be
armed without bypassing, the keypad displays SYSTEM READY. If
there are one or more zones that are not in a normal condition,
the keypad displays SYSTEM NOT READY. Pressing any Select key
during this display shows the zone number and name allowing you
to investigate the problem.
Arming an All/Perimeter System
1. Press the COMMAND key until PERIM ALL is displayed.
2. Select ALL to arm both the perimeter and interior areas.
Press PERIM to arm the perimeter area only.
3. Enter your user code if required.
4. The system displays any Bypassed zones or faulted 24-hour or
Priority zones. A faulted Priority zone cannot be armed.
5. At this point you can force arm or bypass any faulted zones.
A zone that is force armed will be restored into the system if
it later returns to normal. A zone that is bypassed will remain
bypassed until the system is disarmed. See 5a through 5d.
5a. If a problem exists on a zone, the zone name and problem
is shown followed by OKAY BYPASS STOP.
5b. Select OKAY to force arm the zone(s) before arming.
5c. Select BYPASS to bypass the zone(s) before arming.
5d. Select STOP to stop the system from arming. Correct the
zone problem(s) and return to step 1.
6. The keypad displays PERIMETER ON if only the perimeter is
being armed and ALL SYSTEM ON if both the perimeter and
interior are being armed.
7. The keypad next displays EXIT: ## INSTNT and begins to count
down the number of seconds remaining for you to exit. When
the delay expires, the exit zones are armed.
8. You can select INSTNT while EXIT: ## INSTNT is displayed to
immediately arm all exit zones and make them instant. The
keypad displays INSTANT.
9. When the system is fully armed, the keypad displays PERIMETER
ON for perimeter arming and ALL SYSTEM ON for perimeter
and interior arming.
