SYSTEM OVERVIEW This system provides three (3) forms of protection: burglary, fire, and emergency, depending on the options set by your installer. The system consists of the Control Panel with a color touch screen, wireless sensors that provide perimeter and interior burglary protection, and wireless smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. In addition, optional remote control key fobs, wireless panic buttons and keypads may have been provided or installed. The system monitors all protection “zones” and the system’s status. The Control Panel displays monitoring information and controls the alarm siren. Your system may also have been setup to send alarm and status reports to a Central Station and has the capability for 2‐way voice communications with the alarm monitoring operator. FEATURES Following is a list of standard features and options that can be included in your system. Ask your installer which options are available to you and check the boxes that apply. • Stay and Away arming modes: Stay mode arms the system perimeter only and is used typically at night when the premises are occupied. Away mode arms the system perimeter and interior; it’s used when the premises are unoccupied. • 32 user‐unique 4‐digit codes to operate the system: The system supports one (1) master user code that can assign and maintain the other user codes. • One of the 32 user codes functions as a duress code. Controlling the system with this code gives the appearance of normal operation, but using it sends a silent duress report to the Central Station to initiate a silent alarm call for help. • Voice announcements from the Control Panel: The system has a vocabulary of descriptive words that can be assigned to sensors so each has a unique announcement such as “front door” or “bedroom window” if desired. • Home automation with the built‐in Z‐Wave controller for remote controlling Z‐Wave enabled home appliances (optional feature). • Alarm history with system event log: Each alarm and system alert is logged into the system’s memory. These events can be displayed and reviewed at the Control Panel or remotely by the Central Station. • Real time clock and calendar shows on the system’s display and is used to time stamp items in the event log. 2‐way voice communication: After an alarm, the system can automatically connect with a Central Station operator so they can converse with people in the premises.

Go!Control Wireless Security System | User Guide SENSOR STATUS The security system constantly monitors all of the sensors attached to the protected doors and windows in your home or business. The Control Panel knows if each door or window with sensors is open or closed. The open or closed condition of the protected doors and windows is called the sensor status. For maximum security, all the doors and windows on your premises should be closed when you leave the building. In some cases, such as when using the security system when you stay at home, you may want to leave some doors or windows open. The system recognizes bypasses to resolve the open doors or windows. See "Bypassing/Un‐Bypassing Sensors" on page 10. NOTE: Before you can arm the system, you must close or bypass all doors and windows with sensors. CHECKING FOR CLOSED SENSORS In most cases, you will be arming the security system with all of the sensor‐protected doors and windows closed. The Control Panel provides easy ways to verify that all the sensor‐ protected doors and windows are closed before arming the system: • The Home button lights green when all perimeter sensors are closed. The Home button is not lit if any perimeter sensor is open. Open interior sensors do not change this indication. • The Security button on the display’s Home screen lights green when all perimeter sensors are closed. The Security button is lit orange if any perimeter sensor is open. Open interior sensors do not change this indication. • The Arm button on the display’s Security screen and Menu screen lights green when all perimeter sensors are closed.

Burglary Protection VIEWING EACH SENSOR’S STATUS The Control Panel will also show you which sensor‐protected doors and windows are open. Your installer has programmed descriptive names for each sensor‐protected door and window. The Control Panel’s color display will show the names of which doors and windows are open. • The top of the display on the Home, Security, and Menu screens sensor status. See “System Status Icons” on page 25. Tapping the Status button also displays a list of open sensors and general system status and alerts. A The Status Bar shows the system mode and shows system status icons. See “System Status Icons” on page 25. B The Arm button on the security and menu screens lights green when all perimeter sensors are closed. The Arm button lights orange if any perimeter sensor is open. C The Home button lights green when all perimeter sensors are closed. The Home button is not lit if any perimeter sensor is open. D The icon displayed shows that an interior sensor is open. Other icons can appear here as well. See “System Status Icons” on page 25. DEALING WITH A SENSOR FALSE ALARM The Control Panel reports alarm conditions on all sensors when armed both visually (on the status bar, and through a system alert icon) and audibly (through voice and chime announcements). There are times, though rare, that an sensor will send an alarm condition to the Control Panel when no alarm exists. The conditions of a false alarm vary depending on the type of sensor and how that sensor communicates with the Control Panel. • Perform a System, Sensor, and Panel Test to find any false alarm conditions. See "System Test" on page 34. See "Sensor Test" on page 35. See "Panel Test" on page 35.
