Zones and Partitions
• The system sensing devices have been assigned to various "zones," which are
specific areas of protection (e.g., front door, kitchen window, etc.).
• Zone numbers are displayed at the touchpad when an alarm or trouble condition
occurs on a sensor.
• Partitions provide two independent areas of protection, with each partition
containing a group of zones that can be armed and disarmed without affecting
other zones or users.
• Partitioned systems can include a common zone area, which is an area shared by
users of both partitions (such as a lobby in a building).
• Partition identification: 1 = partition 1; 2 = partition 2; 3 = common zone.
Arming, Step-Arming and Disarming Burglary Protection
• The system must be armed before the burglary protection can sense intrusions.
• To arm your system, enter your user code followed by the desired arming key.
• If programmed, the [#] key can be pressed instead of entering the security code
when arming the system.
• You can also use the step-arming key to arm the system, if programmed.
• To disarm the system, enter your user code then press the [OFF] key.
• Step-arming, if programmed, lets you use a function key to arm the system in one
of three modes by simply pressing the key repeatedly, where:
first press arms STAY; second press arms NIGHT-STAY; third press arms
AWAY.
Alarms
• When an alarm occurs, both the touchpad and external sounders will sound, and
the touchpad will display the zone(s) causing the alarm.
• If your system is connected to a Customer Care Center, an alarm message will
also be sent.
• To stop the alarm sounding, simply disarm the system.
Memory of Alarm
• When an alarm condition occurs, the touchpad displays the number(s) of the
zone(s) that caused the problem, and displays the type of alarm (e.g., "FIRE").
• The message remains displayed even after disarming the system, but can be
cleared with another "off" sequence.
Function Keys
• The "A", "B", "C", and "D" keys on the touchpad can be programmed to perform
various functions.
• Functions include: activate a Panic alarm; arm the system; provide step arming;
switch lights on/off; send a message to a pager; display Time/Date; start a Macro
