Overview
Your Security System
Yoursecurity systemincludesa numberof detection devices,such
as magnetic contacts, glassbreak detectors, smoke detec-
tors, and motion sensors. These devices identify alarm condi-
tions and report them to the control panel. If programmed, the
control panel sounds an alarm. The control panel also communi-
cates with you (through the keypad) and with a monitoring sta-
tion (through a telephone hook-up).
Each region monitored by a sensor (or group of sensors) is known
as a zone. Most zones will trigger an alarm only when the sys-
tem is armed. Other sensors, such as smoke detectors, can trig-
ger an alarm at any time. Your system's zones are identified on a
label placed inside the door of your keypad.
Monitoring station personnel respond to system messages, and
notify emergency personnel as needed. A monitoring service is
an optional part of a security system.

Overview
How Your Security System Works
When an intruder enters the building, a detection device is trig-
gered. The device sends a message to the control panel. The
device may have LEDs (lights) that blink.
Thecontrol panelresponds by soundingthe alarm. (Alarmsounds
vary. If your system is programmed for silent alarms, no bells or
sirens sound.) A message is sent to the keypad and, if con-
nected, to the monitoring station.
The keypad displays a warning message. Personnel at the moni-
toring station confirm the alarm and respond accordingly.
Some alarms can be canceled before the siren sounds and the
monitoring station is notified. See Section 4 for more informa-
tion.

Overview
Your System's Programming
Your Sierra security system has been customized to suit your
needs. Besides selecting the best equipment for your building,
your installer has programmed your system to operate in a way
that reflects your lifestyle. For example, your system may be
programmed to recognize special user codes, to arm and disarm
automatically, or to report to a monitoring station.
Throughout this manual, you will find descriptions of features that
may have been programmed into your system. To see how your
system was programmed, refer to the checklist in Section 8.
Getting Used to Your System
Your security system can be programmed for a learning period
that can last from one to 31 days. With this option, you can prac-
tice using your system without causing any false alarms. Refer to
Section 8 to see if this learning period was programmed into your
system.
During the learning period, your system does two things differ-
ently. First, during an alarm, you do not hear any sirens or bells.
Second, if you have a monitoring station hook-up, your system
does not notify the station of an alarm.
After the learning period is over, your system automatically be-
gins to function normally. If programmed, sirens and bells sound
during an alarm, and the monitoring station receives information
over the telephone hook-up.
IMPORTANT: Your building is not completely protected from ac-
tual alarms during the learning period.

Understanding the Icon Messages
Your icon keypad communicates information by lighting the words
and phrases in the icon display. The words that make up a mes-
sage may be on different lines, or separated by other words.
For example, you may see the following message in your dis-
play:
This message indicates that Zone 4 is not ready to arm.
In this manual, you will see messages such as these presented
on one line, such as this:
ZONE # NOT READY
Number symbols ("#") substitute for the specific numeric infor-
mation your system displays.

Overview
System Status Messages
The display of your icon keypad gives you information about the
status of your system. If there is more than one condition to
report, your display switches between the messages.
Below is a list of the types of messages you might see. On your
display, the # symbol is replaced with the number of the zone (or
zones) in question. For more information about many of these
messages, see Section 6.
READY. The system is ready to be armed.
READY ALARM ZONE #. The system is ready to be armed;
however, the system's alarm memory contains a record of
an alarm. To clear the alarm memory, press and hold the
key for two seconds.
READY BYPASS ZONE #. The system is ready to be
armed; however, the zone listed is bypassed, and therefore,
not protected. If more than one zone is bypassed, the num-
bers of the zones are sequentially displayed.
NOT READY ZONE #. The system is not ready to be
armed. The zone number listed is faulted. (The zone may
be faulted if, for example, a door is ajar or a window is open.)
If more than one zone is faulted, the numbers of the zones
are sequentially displayed.
NOT READY TAMPER ZONE #. The system is not ready to
be armed. The zone listed has been tampered with. If more
than one zone has been tampered with, the numbers of the
zones are sequentially displayed.
