IDS X Series Quick Start Manual

XSeries Alarm Panel
Quick Start Guide
Thank You for choosing IDS to Protect You
Congratulations on your purchase of an IDS X-Series alarm
panel. IDS XSeries panels are powerful, versatile, and highly
configurable security systems, which should be installed by a
professionally trained installer.
This Quick Start Guide covers basic user functionality. Most
panel features are programmable only by an IDS-accredited
installer in possession of the INSTALLER CODE and are
identified with this symbol.
Advanced User Functions, identified with this symbol () are
covered in the X-series Advanced User Manual, available at
www.idsprotect.com.
IDS recommends using LCD keypads for all installations. For
information on operation with LED keypads refer to the
Advanced User Manual.
Understanding Alarm Panel Functions
Panel Status:
The alarm is either ARMED or DISARMED.
When DISARMED, the alarm is NOT READY when a zone is
violated. The alarm cannot be armed.
When disarmed, the alarm is READY when all zones are closed.
The alarm can be armed.
