System Overview

General Operation

Following are general operational concepts that your system supports.
Understanding these concepts will help you to use your security system to
it fullest extent.

Sensor Types

The system's wireless sensors have been assigned to selected "types"
(sometimes called "zones" in the alarm industry). The sensor type determines
how and when the system will react to a signal from the sensor. Some sensors
are armed 24 hours a day, other sensors are only armed when the system is
armed.

Fire Protection

If fi re protection wireless smoke detectors have been installed in your system,
they are armed 24 hours-a-day. They will sound an alarm when smoke is
detected and can report the fi re alarm to the Central Monitoring Station. Refer
to the Fire Alarm System section of this manual for important emergency
planning and evacuation information.

Burglary Protection

Burglary protection is provided by perimeter and interior sensors. When the
system is armed in the Away Mode, both perimeter and interior sensors are
armed and can trigger an alarm. When the system is armed in the Stay Mode,
only the perimeter sensors are armed and can trigger an alarm.
Both arming modes offer an "Exit Delay" that allows time to leave the
premises without triggering the alarm. Upon re-entry, the system offers an
"Entry Delay" through certain points of protection that allows you time to
disarm the system before an alarm is triggered.
Sensors can be set to sound a chime and/or a voice announcement when
they are triggered. So you can monitor your doors and windows while the
system is disarmed.

User Codes

The system installer has pre-programmed a Master User Code for your
system. This code can be used to control the system as well as assign and
change the other seven User Codes. The Master User Code can also access
several system setup settings in the User Toolbox.

Alarms

When an alarm occurs, the Control Panel's siren and an external siren (if
installed) will sound for a preset time. During alarms and after disarming, the
alarm history button will display all the alarms that have occurred, and which
sensors were involved. The alarm history clears the next time the system is
armed or can be cleared manually.
