Access Codes Access Codes are used to arm and disarm the system. There are 33 access codes available: one Master Code and 32 access codes. Only the Master Code can be used to program additional security codes and to change other system features as well as to arm and disarm the security system.
Alternate Arming Methods Away Arming Arming the system in the Away mode will have all interior zones and perimeter zones active. If motion is detected in the interior zones, or if one of the perimeter zones is violated, the alarm sequence will begin.
Disarming the System Disarming from an LED Keypad: Enter the premises through a designated Exit/Entry door; entering by any other door will sound an immediate alarm. As soon as the Exit/Entry door is opened, the keypad will beep to indicate that the system should be disarmed.
If An Alarm Sounds Fire Alarm If your system has been installed with fire detectors and the alarm sounds in a pulsing mode, follow your emergency evacuation plan immediately (see “Fire Escape Planning” on page 15). Intrusion Alarm If an intrusion alarm sounds, indicated by a continuous Bell or Siren, the alarm may be silenced by entering your access code.

Zone Bypassing The zone bypassing function is used when access is needed to part of the protected area while the system is armed. Zones which are temporarily out of service due to damaged wiring or contacts may be bypassed to allow system arming until repairs can be made. Bypassed zones will not cause an alarm.
Viewing Trouble Conditions The control panel continuously monitors a number of possible trouble conditions. If one of these trouble conditions occur, the keypad will beep twice every 10 seconds until you press any key on the keypad.

Household Fire Safety Audit Most fires occur in the home. To minimize this danger, we recommend that a household fire safety audit be conducted and a fire escape plan be developed. 1. Are all electrical appliances and outlets in a safe condition? Check for frayed cords, overloaded lighting circuits, etc.
Maintenance With normal use, the system requires minimum maintenance. The following points should be observed. 1. Do not wash the security station with a wet cloth. Light dusting with a slightly moistened cloth should remove normal accumulations of dust. 2. The battery/ bell test is designed to determine battery condition. We recommended, however, that the stand-by batteries be replaced every three years.
