been called, leave immediately”).
Dealing with Alarms (what to do if
the keypad is beeping)
If an alarm occurs, you must first decide if it is
a valid alarm (break-in, battery failure, etc.), or
a false alarm. If a valid alarm occurs, be sure
to notify the appropriate persons, and/or take
steps to either deal with the item yourself--if
appropriate, or get yourself and others to
safety.
Silencing a False Alarm
An authorized user can Cancel a false alarm,
disarm the system and inform the monitoring
station not to dispatch the respective
emergency service.
This feature may not be available in all areas.
Consult your local security representative / installer
for more information.
However, fire alarms can not be cancelled.
The following steps assume that you have
accidentally triggered a false alarm. If an
alarm has been generated, the LCD display
will show the alarm, and the keypad 'sounder'
will probably also be making a steady tone.
Steps:
1. Enter your user ID
and/or password to
log into the
keypad.
2. Select Yes to
silence the alarm.
3. Select Yes again
to verify who you
are.
4. Enter your PIN
when prompted.
This will signal the
monitoring facility that you want to cancel the
false alarm.
5. To disarm area(s),
select "Off".
6. Select Yes to turn
all areas off, if
desired.
7. If there was a
false alarm, the
following screen
will appear.
8. Select Ack to
acknowledge the
alarm and disarm
the system.
XXX: refers to the number for the monitored sensor
(input point) that was in alarm.
9. Press this key to
perform another
function.
To return to the main screen (log out), press
the ““ escape key a few times, or let the
system time-out (1 minute).
The entry tones will now stop sounding and the
selected areas are now fully disarmed.
If the Verify option is used, it must be done within 1
minute of the false alarm occurring, for the station to
acknowledge the signal.

Area Priority Protection On/Off
Priority Arming requires that areas are armed
and disarmed in order of their priority. If
protection for Area 1 is turned on first, then
area 2 and then 3, disarming the areas would
then require area 3 to be turned off first, then
area 2 and then 1. This sequence can vary
and it is necessary to learn the order from your
Security Representative / Installer or System
Administrator.
•If protection for
areas is not turned
on, off in their
proper sequence, this error screen will appear
and the process will not occur. It will have to be
repeated properly.
Common Area Protection On/Off
A common entrance used by e.g. a user who
has authority for only certain areas in a
multiple area system, must be able to enter the
entrance to reach their areas. At the same
time, a user who only has authority for their
particular areas beyond the same entrance
must also be able to enter. This can make this
main entrance a “common area”. Both users
can have authority for this common area to
reach their particular areas. This allows them
to be able to turn the protection on and off to
this common area when their authorized areas
are in use. Check with your Security
Representative / Installer or System
Administrator for information and authority for
a Common Area.

must be done:
Resetting Confirmed Alarms
Once a confirmed alarm occurs at a site, the

reset by an Engineer during a service call in
the following manner:
1. The main panel cabinet must be opened to
activate the ‘tamper sensor’
2. The system will generate a tamper alarm; the
authorized user must first silence this.
3. Next, the Service user ID and Pin must be
entered followed by the ID and Pin of the
authorized user.
(Master end user ID and PIN default: e.g. ID: 01
or 001, PIN: 7793)
4. Select “Reset Confirmed Alarm”.
5. Close the main panel cabinet to secure the
tamper sensor.

the protected area the “external arming button”
must be pressed. Failure to do so will result in a

Once a tamper condition occurs it will be
logged in the system’s History log. Any
authorized users can silence tampers
however; the following system message will
scroll on the LCD display to indicate that a
tamper condition had occurred…
This message will only appear when the
tamper condition has been restored. The
yellow “trouble” light on the keypad will also
turn off.
1. This message can only be cleared during a
service call in the following manner.
2. The main panel cabinet must be opened to
activate the ‘tamper sensor’
3. The system will generate a tamper alarm; the

After the reset procedure has been completed,
the system Status can be checked to ensure that
the only tamper condition still displaying is the
open main panel cabinet.
5. Close the main panel cabinet to secure the
tamper sensor.
Arming / Disarming Conditions
If at the time of arming, certain system faults are
present, arming will be blocked.
The red armed light on the keypad will only stay
on for 30 seconds from the time of any arming.
This is to prevent the condition of the system
from being easily visible.
