System Overview System Overview
System Overview System Overview
Zones
• The system sensing devices have been assigned to various "zones," which are
specific areas of protection (e.g., front door, kitchen window, etc.).
• Zone numbers are displayed at the keypad when an alarm or trouble condition
occurs on a sensor.
Arming, Step-Arming and Disarming Burglary Protection
• The system must be armed before the burglary protection can sense intrusions.
• To arm your system, enter your security code followed by the desired arming key.
• If programmed, the [#] key can be pressed in place of your security code when
arming the system (e.g., instead of entering your 4-digit security code + [3-STAY]
to arm the system in STAY mode, you can press [#] + [3-STAY] ).
• You can also use the step-arming key, if programmed, to arm the system, which
lets you use a function key to arm the system in one of three modes by simply
pressing the key repeatedly.
• To disarm the system, enter your security code then press the [OFF] key.
Alarms
• When an alarm occurs, the keypad sounds and displays the zone(s) causing the
alarm. For most alarms, the external sounder also sounds.
• If your system is connected to a Central Monitoring Station, an alarm message
will also be sent. (Delayed Reporting Note: By default, message reporting is
not delayed. If desired, reporting can be delayed 15, 30, or 45 seconds to help
reduce false alarms. See your installer if you want the delay time changed.)
• To stop the alarm sounding, simply disarm the system.
Memory of Alarm
• When an alarm condition occurs, the keypad displays the number(s) of the
zone(s) that caused the problem, and displays the type of alarm (e.g., "fire").
• The message remains displayed even after disarming the system, but can be
cleared with another "off" sequence.
Phone Access
• If included, a phone module permits you to access the system via a touch-tone
phone, either on-premises or by calling-in when away.
• You can receive synthesized voice messages over the telephone regarding the
status of the security system.
• You can arm and disarm the system and perform most function commands
remotely via the telephone, with voice confirmation provided after each command
entry.
• Complete information regarding the use of this feature is provided in a separate
manual entitled "Phone Access User's Guide" that is supplied with the voice
module.
