  • Page 4: System Overview

    Congratulations on your ownership of an Ademco Partitioned Security System. You've made a wise decision in choosing it, for it represents the latest in security protection technology today. Ademco is the world's largest manufacturer of security systems and millions of premises are protected by Ademco systems.
  • Page 5: Zones

    System Overview (cont’d) Zones Your system's sensing devices have been assigned to various "zones." For example, the sensing device on your Entry/Exit door may have been assigned to zone 001, sensing devices on windows in the master bedroom to zone 002, and so on. These numbers will appear on the display, along with an alpha descriptor for that zone (if programmed), when an alarm or trouble condition occurs.
  • Page 6: Alarms

    System Overview (cont’d) The following table lists the four different arming modes and the results of each. Features For Each Arming Mode Arming Exit Entry Perimeter Interior Delay Delay Armed Armed Mode AWAY STAY INSTANT MAXIMUM Alarms When an alarm occurs, both the keypad and external sounders will sound, and the keypad will display the zone(s) causing the alarm.
  • Page 7: Using Schedules

    System Overview (cont’d) Using Schedules Your system may have been programmed with schedules for automatically arming, disarming and activating various devices and/or performing other system functions at predetermined times. Users can modify some of these schedules by manually delaying a closing time, using temporary schedules, or by programming special user schedules.
  • Page 8: Master Keypad Operation

    System Overview (cont’d) Master Keypad Operation A "Master" keypad is one on which the status of all 8 partitions is displayed simultaneously. A user can get more information about a certain partition by simply entering [ ] + the desired partition number (1-8).

  • Page 14: Entry/Exit Delays

    Entry/Exit Delays General Information Your system has preset time delays, known as exit delay and entry delay. Whenever you arm your system, exit delay gives you time to leave through the designated exit door without setting off an alarm. Exit delay begins immediately after entering any arming command, and applies to all modes of arming protection.
  • Page 15: Security Codes & Authority Levels

    Security Codes & Authority Levels General Information At the time of installation, you were assigned an authority level and a personal four-digit security code, known only to you and yours. The security code must be entered when arming and disarming the system.
  • Page 16: Authority Levels

    Security Codes & Authority Levels (cont’d) Authority Levels Authority levels define the system functions a particular user can perform. Depending on the authority assigned to you, there are certain system functions you may be prohibited from performing. In summary, there are six authority levels, each having certain system restrictions as shown below.
  • Page 17: General Rules On Authority Levels And Changes

    Security Codes & Authority Levels (cont’d) To view your authority level and system capabilities: 1. Enter your code + [ ] + [ ]. 2. The keypad will display the partition(s) that you are authorized to operate, and your user number and authority level in each partition.

    Accessing Other Partitions To Access Another Partition Each keypad is assigned a default partition for display purposes, and will show only that partition's information. But, if the user is authorized, a keypad in one partition can be used to perform system functions in other partitions by using the GOTO command.
  • Page 23: Aster Eypad Peration

    Accessing Other Partitions (cont’d) Master Keypad Operation A "Master" keypad is one that reflects the status of the entire system (Partitions 1-8) on its display. This is useful because it eliminates the need for a security officer in a building to have to "log-on" to various partitions from one partition's keypad to find out where an alarm has occurred.

  • Page 27: Checking For Open Zones

    Checking For Open Zones Using the READY Key Before arming your system, all protected doors, windows and other protection zones must be closed or bypassed (see BYPASSING section). Otherwise the keypad will display a "Not Ready" message. Using the READY key will display all zones that are faulted, making it easier for you to secure any open zones.
  • Page 28: Displaying All Zone Descriptors

    Displaying All Zone Descriptors Using the READY Key The Alpha Keypads can also display all the zone descriptors that are programmed in your system. The abbreviated instructions for the READY key will appear first, followed by the zone descriptors. Displaying all descriptors is useful when you need to know the zone number of a particular zone, as when bypassing zones.
  • Page 29: Bypassing Protection Zones

    Bypassing Protection Zones Using the [6] BYPASS Key This key is used when you want to arm your system with one or more zones intentionally unprotected. Bypassed zones are unprotected and will not cause an alarm when violated while your system is armed. All bypasses are removed when an OFF sequence (security code plus OFF) is performed.
  • Page 30: Bypass

    Bypassing Protection Zones (cont’d) Quick Bypass Your system allows you to easily bypass all open (faulted) zones without having to enter zone numbers individually. Note: All bypasses are removed when an OFF sequence (security code plus OFF) is performed. To use the Quick Bypass feature: BYPASS 1.

  • Page 40: Speed Key (Macros)

    Speed Key (Macros) General Information The “A”, “B”, “C”, and/or “D” keys can be used to activate a string of commands up to 32 keystrokes each. These commands are known as a macro and are stored in the system’s memory. Typical Speed Key functions include: Arming sequences that involve bypassing certain zones before arming.
  • Page 41: Executing

    Speed Key (Macros) (cont’d) Executing To execute a Speed Key sequence, do the following: If a lettered key, A-B-C, has been assigned as a Speed Key, press and hold down the appropriate key (about 2 seconds).

  • Page 45: Using Schedules

    Using Schedules Delaying the Closing Time Your system's programmed schedules may automatically arm the system at a predetermined time. In the event a user must stay on the premises later than usual, users with master or manager authority levels can manually delay the automatic arming (closing) time up to 2 hours.
  • Page 46: Schedules

    Using Schedules (cont’d) Schedules are comprised of an arming (closing) time window and a disarming (opening) time window. A time window is simply a defined period of time, at the end of which arming or disarming will occur. Before programming a temporary schedule, use a worksheet similar to the one below to plan your schedule.
