Your security system is made up of a control panel, one or more regular keypads, the VPM4580, and various
detectors and sensors. The control panel will be mounted out of the way in a utility room or in the basement. The
metal cabinet contains the system electronics, VPM4580 Voice Assisted Security Control, fuses and standby battery.
There is normally no reason for anyone but the installer or service persons to have access to the control panel.
The security system has several zones or areas of protection and each of these zones will have one or more
detection devices connected to it (devices such as motion detectors, door contacts, glassbreak detectors or shock
sensors).
The regular keypad is an important part of your security system. It is used to send commands to the system and
to display system information. Even though you can use a telephone and the VPM4580 to operate your system,
the telephone will not automatically display or indicate system status or zones in alarm. Therefore, it is essential
that a regular keypad be placed in a location that is accessible by all users of the security system, and that it be
checked regularly for any changes in system status.
Access Codes
When using a telephone to operate your security system, you will use the same access codes as when using the
regular keypad. Your Master code and other codes programmed on your system function exactly as if you were
using a regular keypad. Refer to your system's Instruction manual for further information on access codes.
In addition, you will need to enter a Telephone Access code, before you can use the system through the VPM4580.
Your installer will give you this code. (See Accessing Your Security System for more information.)
NOTE: Do not use Duress Codes with the VPM4580.
