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 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 a window that can be easily opened.
If the window is high off the ground, an escape ladder should be
provided.
Drawarrowsonthefloorplantoshowescaperoutesfromeachroom.
Decide where to meet
Prearrangeameetingplaceoutsideandawayfromwhereemergency
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.
Building Front Building Back

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
injury or loss.

Understanding Security SystemTerms
Throughoutthis guide, andinsome displays on yourkeypad, you will
seecertainwordsorphrasesthatmightbeunfamiliar.Althoughevery
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
code number. 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 faulted.
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 alarmreports
to a central station when a burglary zone is faulted.
Zone
A zone refers to a group of one or more protected openings or
protection devices assigned the same zone number. Each door or
window,motiondetector,smokedetector,orotherdevicehasazone
number and a name.
Often, similar devices in the same general area will share the same
zone.Forexample,thewindowsontheeastsideofthepremisescan
all be grouped together in a zone named E. WINDOWS.
Introduction
Entry or Exit Zone
Almost all systems have one or more doors through which you can
enterorexitthepremises.Thesedoorsare programmedwithadelay
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, you
mustentera valid code number 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
faulted while the system is armed, an alarm occurs instantly.
24-Hour Zone
A 24-hour zone is never assigned to an area and 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
Anareaismadeupofburglaryzonesthatcanbearmedordisarmed
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 faulted.

5
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 more than one alarm or trouble condition occurs at
the same time, the keypad sequences this information on its display.
If your system contains any Panic zones, these are
not displayed on
the keypad for security reasons.
If an alarm occurs on a non-fire 24 hour zone or a system monitor, it
remains in the Status List until it restores. If one or more armed
burglaryzonestrips,thelastonetotripremainsintheStatusList.The
burglary zone alarm remains in the Status List for several minutes or
until it's cleared by disarming the system.
Exit Error
Thisisanautomaticfunctionofthepanelthatpreventsanalarmfrom
occurring if an exit door does not close all the way after the system
has been armed. Here's how it works:
You close all doors and windows, arm the system, and then leave by
the front door. You close the door but it doesn't latch and opens
slightlycausingthefrontdoorzonetoshowasanopentothesystem.
After the exit delay time expires the system attempts to arm the front
door zone but recognizes the open condition and, instead of sending
an alarm report to the central station, sends an Exit Error report and
forcearmsthedoor.(Ifthedoorclosesatalatertimeitwillbeincluded
back into the system.) The system sounds the alarm sirens for two
seconds to alert you of the condition and provide an opportunity for
you to close the door.
The Exit Error feature allows the central station to acknowledge the
arming error without dispatching the police on a false alarm.
Understanding Security SystemTerms
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
Statusis a feature that automatically displays the armed or disarmed
status of your system on the Security Command keypads. Alarm or
trouble conditions on a zone or a system monitor such as AC or
battery trouble can also be displayed. 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.
The keypad displays When
HOME MODE ON The perimeter zones are on
ALL SYSTEM ON All zones are on
SLEEP MODE ON The perimeter and interior zones are on
but the bedroom zone 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.
Introduction

How your System Operates
Your system has been programmed to operate in one of two modes:
All/Perimeter, or Home/Away.
•All/Perimeter-InthismodeyouselectAlltoturnontheentiresystem
or Perimeter to turn on just the exterior door and window protection
when you are inside.
• Home/Away - In this mode you select Away to turn on the entire
system or Home to turn on just the exterior door and window
protection when you are inside. You can also have a third selection
called Sleep that turns on interior protection devices that are not
located near any bedrooms. The Sleep selection allows you to move
freely around your bedrooms area without setting off the alarm.
Regardless of which mode 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 bad
condition are also displayed.
Before arming, the system verifies that all doors, windows, and other
protection devices to be armed are in normal condition.
Ifeverythingis 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.
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.
Introduction
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
armedperiod.Azoneremainsbypasseduntilthesystemisdisarmed.
In some cases, you might see the keypad display
FRONTDOORBAD*.TheasterisknexttoBAD meansthatthezone
is a priority zone, which 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 areas you selected are armed. The keypad briefly
displays ALL SYSTEM ON if all areas in the system are arming and
HOME MODE ON or SLEEP MODE ON if only selected areas are
arming. The keypad then displays the exit delay as it counts down.
Zones are not armed until the exit delay time expires.
If your system uses a keyswitch to arm an area, the exit delay time is
NOT shown on the keypad display.
DIALING . . . Message: If your system is monitored, it may be
programmed to wait for the arming report to be sent to the central
station before displaying the armed message. See Arming Report
below. This is to verify your phone lines are working properly. While
the system is waiting, the display reads DIALING.... If the report is
received, the keypad buzzes for one second and displays the armed
message. If the report is not received, the keypad displays
LOCAL ALARM ONLY before displaying the armed message.
Arming Report:Yoursystem can be programmed to send armingor
zone bypassing reports to a central station. This feature is optional
and can be programmed for you at any time.
