Page 3: Using The Command Center
Introduction Your security system helps to secure life, property, and investments against fire, theft, and bodily harm. The command center is an advanced digital device that offers a variety of features not available with other systems. Its highly visible, back-lit keypad and built-in sounder alert you to a number of system events.
Page 4: Command Center Function Keys
Command Center Function Keys Your command center has five function keys. These keys are used to control your system. COMMAND Use the COMMAND bar in combination with one or two numeric keys to perform a function. ENT/YES The ENT (Enter)/YES key has two functions. The first is to complete the entry of your passcode at the command enter.
Page 5: Controlled Points
Security System Basics What is a Point? A “point” is a detection device, or group of devices connected to your security system. Points display individually at the command center with custom text. The text can describe a single door, motion sensor, smoke detector, or an area such as UPSTAIRS or GARAGE.
Page 6: Hour Points
24-Hour Points 24-hour points are always on, even when the burglary system is disarmed (turned off). There are two types of 24-hour points, fire points and non-fire points. Fire Points Fire points exclusively monitor fire detection devices. They are always armed and cannot be disarmed. You can clearly distinguish fire points from other non-fire points at the command center.
Page 7: Your Custom Display
Your Custom Display “At an idle state” means that the system is not currently performing a function entered by a user. There are three idle states the system may be in: • Turned on (Armed) • Turned off (Disarmed) with no points faulted (doors or windows open) in the area •...
Page 8: View Faulted Or Bypassed Points
View Faulted or Bypassed Points To properly arm your system, all the doors and windows in the system must be in the normal (not faulted) condition. Viewing the faulted points helps you find faulted points and correct them so proper arming is possible.
Page 9: Priority Of Events
Warning Displays and Tones Your command center emits one of several distinct tones and displays custom text to alert you to system events. Additional bells or sirens may also be connected to your system. Bells or sirens mounted on the exterior of your premises alert neighbors to emergencies and provide an audible guide for police and fire fighters.
Page 10: Fire Alarms
Fire Alarms Fire alarms are the highest priority events. When a fire point activates, your command center emits a pulsating high-pitched fire tone. Evacuate all occupants and investigate for smoke or fire. Ensure that all occupants know the difference between the burglary tone and the fire tone.
Page 11: Burglary Alarms
Burglary Alarms Burglary alarms are the second priority. When a burglary point activates while your system is armed, your command center emits a steady high-pitched burglary tone. The tone sounds for the time set by your security company. The command center display shows the number of burglary points activated (A1 ## ALARMS) and then custom text for each activated point.
Page 12: Fire Trouble Event
Fire Trouble Events When a fire trouble occurs, your command center emits three warble tones, then a pause (repeatedly). The system displays the number of fire points with troubles (A1 ## FIRE TRBLE) and then custom text for each point. Silencing Fire Troubles Entering a personal passcode with the proper authority level silences a fire trouble and disarms the panel if it...
Page 13: Non-Fire Trouble Events
Non-Fire Trouble Events When a trouble event such as an AC failure occurs, your command center may be programmed to emit three warble tones, then a pause (repeatedly). If the system was armed the command center display shows the number of non-fire trouble (A1 ## TROUBLES ) and then custom text for each activated point.
Page 14: Special System Trouble Display
Special System Trouble Display SERVC AC FAIL and SERVC BATT LOW are examples of system trouble displays. These displays appear on all keypads in the system. All system trouble displays begin with SERVC. See Standard Displays for a description of each system trouble display. Entering your passcode or a COMMAND 4 will silence a system trouble tone, but the SERVC display will not clear until the faulted condition is corrected.
Page 15: To Silence An Alarm
Keystroke Checking Tones Valid Entry If you press an appropriate key for the function or entry you desire, the command center sounds a muted beep tone, indicating it accepted your keystroke. Invalid Entry A flat buzz tone sounds when you press a key that doesn’t have a function to execute or when the command center has no information to display.
Page 16: System Commands & Functions

Security System Limitations Not even the most advanced security system can guarantee protection against burglary, fire, or environmental threats. All security systems are subject to possible compromise or failure-to-warn for a variety of reasons including, but not limited to, the following: •...
Page 44: Fire Safety And Evacuation
Fire Safety and Evacuation Residential fire is a leading cause of accidental death. Most fire related deaths occur at night when occupants suffocate in their sleep from smoke and toxic gases, rather than from burns. To help reduce this risk, the following program should be implemented.
Page 45 Fire Safety and Evacuation continued Plan both primary and alternate escape routes. Since stairwells and hallways may be blocked during a fire, exiting through a bedroom window must be a part of the escape plan. If the sleeping area is above the ground floor, install a means of safely descending outside the building if one does not already exist.
Page 46: Standard Displays
Standard Displays Your command center uses standard and custom displays to show the status of the security system. Many standard displays are described below. Your system may not use all of them. Descriptions of your custom text follow. SYSTEM COMMAND Displays when you press the COMMAND bar.
Page 47: System Trouble Displays
System Trouble Displays If you see any of the system trouble displays shown below, contact your security company to determine whether repairs are needed. CALL FOR SERVICE Call your security company.
