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 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.

Messages

Your security system supports receiving messages from the Central Monitoring Station. The
messages can be about system upgrades, additional services, special regional weather alerts, etc.

Trouble Alerts

The system monitors itself for abnormal operating conditions and will alert you if trouble is detected.
Trouble conditions can be reported to the Central Monitoring Station.
