Introduction
About Your Security System
Your system is designed with your safety and comfort in mind.
It uses the latest in computer technology to create the most
advanced,user friendly, security, re, and access control system
available.
The system combines ease of use with a simple to understand
keypad display to offer the full range of features requested by
today’s security system owners. Your security system can protect
both the interior and perimeter of your home or business while you
are away or just the perimeter when you are inside, giving you a
wall of security and peace of mind.
You can turn portions of your protection on or off at any time by
pressing a few keys. You can add, delete, and change personal user
codes at any time or check the status of all protection devices in
the system.
DMP Keypads
This is the device we have placed at certain locations throughout
the premises that allows you to turn the system protection on and
off using your personal user code.
Keypad User Menu
The keypad 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
re agencies places others in jeopardy by limiting the response
capability of those emergency service units.
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 XT
Series™ system operation.
Note: There may be a 30-second alarm communication delay
pre-programmed at installation to allow disarming if a false alarm
occurs. This delay is optional and can be removed or increased to
45 seconds by your alarm dealer.
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reprotection,calltheservicedepartment
tond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.

Practice your escape plans
Devising an escape plan is only the beginning. For the plan to be
effective everyone should practice escape routes from each room.
Second Floor
Building Front Building Back
First Floor
Fire Escape
Window Ladder
Figure 1: Sample Escape Route Map
Early detection
The best way to survive a re or other emergency is to get out
early.  A re alarm system installation, with smoke and carbon
monoxide detectors in each room, can greatly decrease your risk
of loss or injury.
Emergency Evacuation Plans
Overview
The National Fire Protection Association recommends that you
establish an emergency evacuation plan to safeguard lives in the
eventofareorotheremergency.
Draw a floor plan of your home or business
On a clean sheet of paper, draw the walls, windows, doors, and
stairs. Also draw any obstacles that a person may encounter while
exiting the building such as large furniture or appliances.
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 an easily opened window.
If the window is high off the ground, an escape ladder should be
provided.
Draw arrows on the oor plan 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 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.

SYSTEM TROUBLE or SERVICE REQUIRED
There is an electronic failure in your system. Contact the service
department as soon as possible.
TEST IN PROGRESS
The system is currently being tested by an installation or service
technician.
Email/Cell Phone Messages
Your system may be programmed at installation to send a variety of
messages to your personal email, PDA, and cell phone.
The message option uses your security system’s reporting capability
to send reports using an email address or cell phone number in
much the same way as someone sending an email would do. You
can receive reports of alarms, troubles, or system armings and
disarmings and know at a glance your system status. See Appendix
D for more information.
Understanding Security System Terms
Throughout this guide, and in some displays on your keypad, you
may see certain words or phrases that might be unfamiliar.
Below are some terms you will see here and on the 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 can sound alarm bells or
sirens and, if monitored, send alarm reports to a central station
when a burglary zone is faulted.
Fire, panic, and other 24-hour devices are always turned on and do
not need to be armed.
ALARM NOT SENT
The alarm signal was aborted and was not sent to the central station
because a user code was entered to disarm the system before the
alarm signal was sent to the central station. Also, your system may
be pre-programmed at installation to send an Abort signal to the
Central Station. Refer to the Introduction section.
ALARM CANCELLED
An Alarm signal just sent to the central station was cancelled
because a user code was entered after the alarm was sent. Also,
an Alarm Cancel signal is sent to the Central Station.
ALARM VERIFIED
Avalidburglaralarmhasoccurredandhasbeenmanuallyveried
by the user. The alarm system also transmits a VERIFY message to
the Central Station.
ENTER CODE
The system requires you to enter a personal user code. User codes
can be used for turning your system on (arming), turning your
system off (disarming), and other system options.
As you enter your user code, the keypad display shows an asterisk
(*) in place of each digit pressed. This prevents others from seeing
your user code on the display as you enter it.
TRY AGAIN
The user code you entered is not recognized by the system. Check
the user code and try again.
INVALID CODE
The user code you entered is considered invalid by the system.
TRBL (TROUBLE)
There is a problem with a protection device or system component.
This display is accompanied by a description of the problem.

10 XT30/XT50 User’s Guide Introduction
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 faults.
Zone
A zone refers to one or more protected openings or protection
devices assigned the same zone number. Each door or window,
motion detector, smoke detector, or other device has a zone
number and a name.
Often, similar devices in the same general area 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.
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 while the system is armed
without setting off the alarm.
When you arm the system, activity on all burglary zones 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,
enter a valid user code to disarm the system or an alarm occurs.
Instant Zone
Exterior windows and non-entry doors, or interior protection
devices, are typically not programmed with delay times. If these
zones fault 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 re zones, panic
zones, and temperature control zones.
Areas
An area is made up of burglary zones that can be armed or disarmed
together. The Perimeter area, for example, consists of all the doors
and windows on the outside of the building. When you arm the
Perimeter, these zones sound an alarm if tripped.
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 then dispatch the appropriate
authoritiesorcontactyouwiththespeciceventinformation.
Status
Status is a feature that automatically displays the system armed
or disarmed status on the keypads. Alarm or trouble conditions
on a zone or a system monitor such as AC or battery trouble can
also display. There are two types of status information available:
Status List and Armed Status.
Status List
The keypad Status List displays any alarm or trouble condition on
a zone and any trouble condition that occurs with the AC power or
battery power. If your system contains any Panic zones, these do
not display on the keypad for security reasons.
Ifanalarmoccursonanon-re,24-hourzoneorasystemmonitor,
it remains in the Status List until it restores. If one or more armed
burglary zones trips, the last one to trip remains in the Status List.
The burglary zone alarm remains in the Status List until it is cleared
by disarming the system.

Introduction XT30/XT50 User’s Guide 11
Zone Status
To display the status of a particular zone, enter the zone number
followed by the COMMAND key when the keypad displays the Status
List.
Armed Status
With Armed Status, the keypad displays the current armed condition
of areas within your security system.
The keypad displays When
HOME SYSTEM ON The perimeter areas is armed in a Home/
Away system.
PERIMETER ON The perimeter is armed in an All/
Perimeter system.
ALL SYSTEM ON All areas are on.
SLEEP SYSTEM ON The perimeter and interior areas are on
but the bedroom area is off.
Also, for keypads that include an Armed LED, the Armed LED is ON
steady anytime a burglary protection area is armed and OFF when
ALL areas are disarmed.
Exit Error
This is an automatic panel function that occurs if an exit door does
not close all the way after the system is armed.
For example, if the front door is left ajar upon exit and the exit delay
time expires, the system attempts to arm the front door zone but
recognizes the open condition. The system sounds the alarm sirens
and starts the entry delay. If the open condition is not corrected, an
alarm and exit error is reported to the central station.
The Exit Error feature allows the central station to acknowledge
the arming error without dispatching the police on a false alarm.

12 XT30/XT50 User’s Guide Arming and Disarming
Arming and Disarming
How Your System Operates
Your system has been programmed to operate in one of three
modes: Area, All/Perimeter or Home/Sleep/Away.
• Area — Your burglary protection is divided into up to four
areas. Each area can have a custom name, be turned on or
off independently of other areas, and limit access to only those
users with proper authority.
• All/Perimeter — Your burglary protection is divided into two
areas: Interior and Perimeter.
Perimeter arming is for when you are 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.
All arms both the Perimeter and the Interior of the system. You
want to arm both of these areas when leaving the building and
no one is left inside.
• Home/Sleep/Away — Your burglary protection is divided into
two or three areas: Perimeter, Interior, and Bedrooms.
Home (Perimeter) arming is for when you are staying inside but
want the comfort of knowing the exterior doors and windows are
armed.
Sleep (Perimeter and Interior) arms all areas except those near
bedrooms and nighttime areas.
Away (Perimeter, Interior, and Bedrooms) arms all three areas
for when you leave the building and no one is left inside.
Regardless of which mode is programmed, much of the operation
is similar. Throughout this guide, any differences between the
systems are noted for your convenience.
Arming Functions
Arming:Duringarming,thesystemveriesthatalldoors,windows,
and other protection devices to be armed are in normal condition.
If everything is normal, the system arms. If there is a problem on
one or more burglary zones, the keypad displays the problem and
allows you to correct the problem or bypass those zones.
If the problem can be corrected by closing a door or window, do
not bypass the zone. Instead, correct the problem and try arming
again. If the problem cannot be corrected, you can bypass the zone
or wait until the zone can be repaired by a service technician. A
bypassed zone is ignored by the system during the armed period.
In some cases the keypad might 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.
After making your arming selection, the keypad displays any zones

Exit Delay: The keypad then displays the exit delay time as it counts
down. If the entire system has been armed, your system beeps the
exit delay tone at eight-second intervals until the last 10 seconds
when the keypad beeps at three-second intervals. After exiting the
building, if you re-enter during the countdown the exit countdown
restarts, allowing additional time to then disarm or again exit the
building during the countdown. This restart can occur only one
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 does NOT count down on the keypad display.
When you arm both the Perimeter and Interior to leave the building
but then you do not exit by the time the exit delay ends, the
system automatically arms but the interior area(s) will remain
disarmed because you have not exited.
Should you exit the building and the door does not close properly,
your system may be programmed so that when the exit delay
countdown ends, then the entry delay starts and the bell will sound
to alert you to the situation. Enter your user code to stop the bell
and disarm the system. Rearm the system, exit the building, and
make sure the door is securely closed.
DIALING . . . Message: If your system is monitored, it may
be programmed to wait for the arming report to be sent to the
