1.0 INTRODUCTION Your security system uses advanced technology which will provide you with reliable security protection and powerful features that are easy to use. Since you will communicate your instructions to the system through your keypad, please read this manual carefully and have your installer explain basic system operation.
2.0 BASIC OPERATION The system communicates by illuminating the “AC” light, the “Status” light and the various lights on the screen as shown in figure 1. Figure 1: Keypad Overview Area Lights: (A1, A2, A3 and A4) ON = Area armed OFF = Area disarmed FLASH = Area in alarm Action Lights: (Access, Stay,...
2.1 A UDITORY EEDBACK ONES When you enter information on your keypad, it will guide you with beep tones to communicate acceptance or rejection of your entries. Confirmation Beep: When an operation (i.e. arming/disarming) is successfully entered or when the system switches to a new status/ menu, your keypad...

2.2.2 C ONFIDENTIAL The installer can program your keypad not to display the status of your system by changing the keypad from Normal Mode to Confidential Mode. This occurs when your keypad has been inactive for a period of time defined by your installer. In Confidential Mode all the indicator lights will turn off.
3.0 PARTITIONED SYSTEM Your installer can set your keypad to recognize separate protected areas. A separated system is called a partitioned system, which can be useful in situations where shared security systems are more practical. For example, a company that has both an office and a warehouse area, can arm and disarm each area separately while controlling access to each area.

Your keypad will emit a Confirmation Beep and remain in that area’s status for two minutes then return to Normal or Confidential Mode. You can perform the next desired action from Area Status Display. In Area Status Display, the following will illuminate for the area selected: •...
4.0 ZONES Zones are protected spaces within an area, which are monitored by the alarm system. Zones can be protected by devices such as magnetic door contacts and motion detectors. 4.1 Z ISPLAY The numerical lights display the status of the individual zones within a partitioned system.
5.0 ARMING When the system is armed, it will respond to any breach in the zones according to the way each zone is programmed. For example, if someone opens a window that is armed, the system can trigger an alarm and alert your security company. 5.1 E ELAY IMER...
5.3 S RMING Stay Arming will partially arm your system to permit you to remain in the protected area. For example, you can arm your doors and windows at home without arming the motion detectors so you will be protected while you sleep. Only User Access Codes with the Stay and Instant Arm option enabled can Stay Arm the system.
How do I Instant Arm? 1) Enter your [Access Code]. Your keypad will emit a Confirmation Beep. The A action light will flash. CCESS 2) Press the [5] key.
