TSSC System Manual
Not just anyone can walk up to a touchpad and operate your security system. Before the system will
process most commands, users are required to enter a pre-programmed 4-digit access code.
Keychain touchpads that are enrolled as part of the system do not require an access code, but are
usually kept in an individual's pocket or purse.
If you would rather use an actual key to arm and disarm the system, your security dealer can install a
special key and keyswitch in your home.
How Your System Communicates with You
Touchpads and interior sirens produce a variety of operating beeps to inform you of different system
states and operations.
Key Beeps
A key beep is the tone you hear when you press a button on a touchpad. The sound confirms that the
button was pressed adequately. Key beeps can be turned on or off by the installer.
Status Beeps
Status beeps from touchpads or sirens sound when there is a change in the current status of the system.
Status beeps are not alarms, but they do warrant your attention.
There is more than one type of Status beep:
Exit Delay beeps indicate that an arming command has been entered and the countdown to arming
has begun.
Entry Delay beeps indicate that you've entered the building and the countdown to an alarm has
begun. (So disarm the system as soon as you get in!)
Trouble beeps tell you that there is a problem with the system or one of its components.
Chime feature beeps tell you that a door was opened.
Protest beeps inform you that you're trying to arm the system while there is an open door or
window.
Sensor test beeps are the sound the system makes during a sensor test to indicate that a sensor
was tested properly.
Status beeps are described in more detail throughout the manual.
Pager Notification
Your system can dial the phone numbers of three different pagers to notify pagerholders of events they
may want to be aware of.
