Introduction to Your Security
System
Your security system uses wireless technology to warn
your family about intrusion, carbon monoxide and fire. It
may also be used to control lights and appliances within
your home. The system has the capabilities of communi-
cating with a central monitoring station and sending mes-
sages to a numeric pager.
This manual describes how to operate your system. It will
guide you through programming instructions for system
features as well as basic arming and disarming commands
for the system.

Security System Components

The security system uses devices called sensors that use
radio waves to communicate alarms to the Control Panel
(panel).
The system is supervised, meaning that the panel checks
the status of each sensor to detect problems. If the panel
detects trouble it will notify you with beeps and indicator
lights on the panel itself.
Your security system installation may include any of the
following devices:

Control Panel

The Control Panel is used to operate and program your
security system. It communicates to you through voice
messages, beeps, and by lighting or flashing buttons. The
panel can communicate to a central monitoring station,
numeric pager, or both.
Touchpads
Remote Handheld Touchpads are used to control the
security system primarily from within the home.
Keychain Touchpads are used to control the security sys-
tem from within or near the outside of your home.

Sensors
Indoor Motion Sensors detect motion in a protected
indoor area. When motion is detected the panel may
respond by sounding chimes or an alarm.
Outdoor Motion Sensors detect motion in a protected
outdoor area. When motion is detected, the system may
respond by sounding chimes or turning on outside lights.
These sensors are not used for intrusion detection.
Door/Window Sensors detect the opening of a door or
window.
Smoke Sensors detect smoke and a significant rise in tem-
perature. They have a built in siren that sounds when
smoke or a significant rise in temperature is detected.
Freeze Sensors detect furnace failure. If the inside tem-
°
perature drops below 41 F, the sensor will notify the
panel. The sensor will send a restore signal to the panel
when the temperature rises to 50
Carbon Monoxide Sensors detect carbon monoxide.
They have a built in siren that sounds when carbon mon-
oxide is detected.
Modules
Appliance Modules can be programmed to turn appli-
ances or fluorescent lights on and off.
Lamp Modules can be programmed to turn non-fluores-
cent lights on and off.
Universal Modules are primarily used for controlling
devices other than appliances and lamps. Check with your
installer for other applications.
Audio Verification Module (AVM) is primarily used by
the central monitoring station to monitor sounds and ver-
bally communicate with a person inside the home. This
feature is similar to a speaker phone feature on a phone.
How You Communicate to Your
System
Sending commands or instructing your security system is
done through key presses on the panel, touchpads, or
through the use of a remote telephone.
Control Panel
You can enter commands for your security system through
simple key presses on the panel. Depending on how your
system is programmed, you may need to enter an access
code for certain commands. An access code is a numeric
code that allows authorization to operate your security sys-
tem.
Note
The Master Access Code default is 1-2-3-4 when the
security system is shipped from the factory. You
should change your code after your system is
installed (see "Programming Your System").
