Operating the Brink's System

NORMAL OPERATION MODE
When the system is turned on, all interior and exterior intrusion sensors
are turned on; allowing time to enter and exit designated doors.
Designated Entry/Exit Doors
Designated entry/exit doors should be only those doors you use most
frequently to enter and exit your home.
Upon entering a designated entry/exit door, the system will sound a tone
from the keypad as a reminder to turn the system OFF. A standard delay
period of 40 seconds allows time to enter a valid user code. If you do not
turn the system off during this delay period, the siren will sound and an
alarm signal will be sent to the Brink's Monitoring Center. If this happens,
enter your user code, then press CANCEL to silence the siren and cancel
the alarm signal.
When turning the system ON, the system allows a standard delay period of
80 seconds to exit and close a designated door. If you exit and securely
close your door within this delay period, the system will not sound the siren
or send an alarm signal to the Brink's Monitoring Center. When ON, the
system is ready to detect intrusion in all protected areas.
1. Before turning the system ON, close all doors and windows and verify
that the green ready light is on. (If NOT see page 9.)
2. Press ON.
3. The red ON light located on the upper left side of the keypad will begin
to flash, showing the system is ON and the delay period to exit has
begun.
4. Exit promptly (If the red ON light becomes steady, the standard 80-
second delay period has expired. If you open a door now, the alarm will
trip. Turn the system off with your user code and start over.)
