Exit delay
A timer programmed by your installer. It starts when you arm your system, to allow you a
period of time in which to leave the premises. At the end of the exit delay, the system will
be armed.
Master code
The master code is a 4- or 6- digit access code that is used to program system options, to
arm and disarm the system, and to program other access codes.
Partition
A group of zones that can be turned on or off together. Certain access codes may have
access to only some partitions. See Zone.
Stay arming
Arming the system so that only the border zones are turned on. (Used when one or more
people will stay on the premises.)
Trouble
The control panel continuously checks the system for conditions that may reduce its effec-
tiveness. If the control panel finds one of these conditions (trouble), it will indicate this at
the keypad(s) to alert users to the problem. See "Identifying Trouble Conditions" on page 17
for a list of possible trouble conditions.
Zone
A limited area of the premises monitored by a detector (e.g., smoke detector, door/window
contact, motion detector, glassbreak detector, etc.).
Border zone: A zone that detects intrusion from outside the premises (e.g., door contact
on an outside door, glassbreak detector, etc.).
Interior zone: A zone that detects intruders that have already entered (e.g., door contact
on an interior door between rooms, motion detector, etc.).
Fire zone: A zone with a heat or smoke detector.

Fire Detection
This equipment is capable of monitoring fire detection devices such as smoke detectors and
providing a warning if a fire condition is detected. Good fire detection depends on having
an adequate number of detectors placed in appropriate locations. This equipment must be
installed in accordance with NFPA 72 (N.F.P.A., Batterymarch Park, Quincey MA 02269).
Carefully review Section 6:"Fire Safety" on page 22.
NOTE:
Your installer must enable the fire detection portion of this equipment for
it to work.
Testing
To make sure your system continues to work as intended, you must test your system weekly.
Please refer to "Testing Your System" on page 18. If your system does not work correctly,
call your installer for service.
Remote
This system can send alarms, troubles and emergency messages over telephone lines to a
Monitoring
central station (this must be enabled by your installer). If you accidentally initiate an alarm,
immediately call the central station to prevent an unnecessary response.
By default, an alarm transmission can be cancelled by entering a valid access code within 30
seconds of the alarm.
Maintenance
With normal use, the system requires minimum maintenance. Note the following points:
1. Do not wash the security equipment with a wet cloth. Light dusting with a slightly
moistened cloth should remove normal accumulations of dust.
2. Use the system test described in "Testing Your System" on page 18 to check the battery
condition. We recommend, however, that the standby batteries be replaced every 3 years.
3. For other system devices such as smoke detectors, passive infrared, ultrasonic or micro-
wave motion detectors or glassbreak detectors, consult the manufacturer's literature for
testing and maintenance instructions.
