SYSTEM OVERVIEW
General
Congratulations on your ownership of a Westec FirstGuard
Security System.
™
You've made a wise decision in choosing it, for it represents the latest in security
protection technology today, including microcomputer technology to monitor your
system's status at all times.
Basically, this system offers you three forms of protection: burglary, fire and
emergency. Your system may consist of at least one keypad which provides full
control of system operation, various sensors such as motion detectors and door
and window sensing devices, plus a selected number of strategically placed
smoke or combustion detectors designed to provide early warning in case of fire.
Your system may also have been pro grammed to automatically transmit alarm or
status messages over the phone lines to a central alarm monitoring station.
All system functions are controlled by your keypad(s), which are described in the
next section, ABOUT THE KEYPAD .
Zones
Your system's sensing devices have been assigned to various "zones". For
example, the sensing device on your Entry/Exit door may have been assigned to
zone 06, sensing devices on windows in the master bedroom to zone 10, and so
on. These zone numbers will appear on the display when an alarm or trouble
condition occurs.
Burglary Protection
The burglary protection portion of your system must be turned on or "armed"
before it will sense burglary alarm conditions and sound an alarm. Your system
can be armed in one of four modes: STAY, AWAY, INSTANT and MAXIMUM.
Refer to the ARMING THE SYSTEM sections for instructions in using these
modes of operation.
Your system also provides a CHIME mode for alerting you to the opening and
closing of doors and windows while the system is disarmed.
