  • Page 11: Overall Description

    The keypad is designed with everything that is necessary for you to program and operate your Model 925 control and security system. Because we feel that it is very important for you to feel comfortable with the operation of your Model 925, we recommend that you start by becoming familiar with your keypad.
  • Page 12 8- KEYPAD DISPLAY The Keypad Display is used to show the current security mode and to give useful information that will guide you through normal operations of your Model 925 control and security system. 9- KEYPAD KEYS The Keypad Keys is used to enter user codes for arming, disarming, bypassing, and restoring zones.

  • Page 13: Normal Top-Level Display

    4:00 PM SYSTEM OK If one of the doors, windows, motion, or other detector connected to the Model 925 is open, or has detected motion, the bottom line of the display will say, "ZONE NAME NOT RDY". For example, the display will say, "FRONT DOOR NOT RDY".

  • Page 14: Display Menus

    6 Model 925 Owner's Manual Display Menus The system has been designed to be easy to operate. Whenever you press a key on the keypad, the top line of the display will indicate what you are doing. To the right of that is your selection or current setting.

  • Page 15: Error Beeps

    Trouble Beeps The Model 925 constantly checks itself and the entire system for proper operation. If trouble is found, the trouble will be displayed on the bottom line of the display and the keypad will beep at the rate of two beeps per second to alert you to the trouble.

  • Page 17: Security System Operation

    OnQ Technologies, Inc. 9 SECURITY SYSTEM OPERATION Disarming the Security System and Silencing Alarms Before going any further, you should know how to disarm your security system in the event that the alarm sounds. Turning the system OFF disarms the burglar alarm, resets the fire and emergency alarms, and silences all sirens and sounders.

  • Page 18: Arming The Security System

    10 Model 925 Owner's Manual Arming the Security System Now that you know how to disarm the system, here's how to arm the security system. The security menu is used to arm and disarm the security system. To enter the security menu, from the top-level display, press the 2 key on the keypad.

  • Page 19: Using Shortcut Keys

    OnQ Technologies, Inc. 11 Note that the Entry Delay only applies if you come in through an Entry-Exit zone. If someone attempts to climb into a window, or if an interior zone is tripped before the Entry-Exit zone, the alarm will be activated immediately. If you do enter through an Entry-Exit zone first, then the other zones are disabled during the Entry Delay, in case you have to cross through another zone to get to your keypad (an interior motion detector, for example).

  • Page 20: Quick Arm

    The programmed Exit Delay is __________ seconds. Quick Arm For extra convenience, the Model 925 can be armed simply by pressing the DAY, NIGHT, or AWAY button twice, eliminating the need to enter the code. To quick arm the system in the Away mode, from the top-level display, press AWAY, AWAY.

  • Page 21: Auto-Bypass

    In order to prevent the alarm from sounding unexpectedly if a window or door is open when the system is armed, the Model 925 will automatically bypass a zone if the zone is not ready when the system is armed. When this happens, the display will indicate that the zone was bypassed.

  • Page 22: Restoring Zones

    14 Model 925 Owner's Manual Restoring Zones 9 = RESTORE Restoring a zone puts it back on active duty in the system. When restored, the Bypassed indication will no longer be displayed on the status line and the zone will be checked for alarm and trouble conditions.

  • Page 23: What Happens When The Alarm Is Activated

    The Outdoor Siren is activated, which makes a loud, continuous sound. • The system now waits the Dial Out Delay. (0 - 60 seconds) • The in house phones are seized (disconnected) and the Model 925 begins to dial out.

  • Page 24: Fire Alarm Activated

    If the called party is busy, does not answer, or answers but does not enter a code, then the Model 925 goes to the Dial Order to determine the next number to dial, and the next call is made. When the last call is made in the Dial Order, the house phones are reconnected and the system stops dialing.

  • Page 25: Gas Alarm Activated

    OnQ Technologies, Inc. 17 The fire alarm takes priority over the burglar alarm, however, if a gas alarm is already active, it will not override the gas alarm output. NOTE: If multiple alarm types occur, such as both Fire and Police, the display will alternate between the alarm types.

  • Page 26: Police Emergency

    The message is repeated two times. At any point during the message, the called party can enter a Master or a valid Manager code as described in Emergency Dial Out to log in and stop the Model 925 from dialing any further numbers.

  • Page 28: Duress Code Entered Or Duress Alarm Activated

    If the called party is busy, does not answer, or answers but does not enter a code, then the Model 925 goes to the next number to dial, and the next call is made. When the last call is made in Dial Order, the house phones are reconnected and the system stops dialing.

  • Page 29: Alarm Cancel

    Trouble Indications The Model 925 constantly monitors the alarm zones and several internal matters and will alert you if it detects trouble. The particular trouble is indicated on the bottom line of the display and a trouble signal is given by beeping the keypad beeper continuously, 2 beeps per second.

  • Page 30: Codes

    Codes There are 16 user codes that you may assign to users of the system. All Model 925 codes are 4 digits in length. A code can be any number from 0001 to 9999. Each user should be assigned a security code with an authority level, areas that can be accessed (if area arming is being used), and times in which the code will be valid.

  • Page 31: Manager Code

    Duress Code instead of your normal code. The system will disarm normally. No sirens will sound, no lights will flash, but the Model 925 will perform a silent dial out and say that this is a silent alarm.
  • Page 32 If you have a code that is only valid in Area 1, you will not be able to disarm or arm Area 2. If you are in Area 1 and wish to disarm the security system in Area 2, the Model 925 will allow you to disarm Area 2 from the keypad in Area 1 if you have a Master code or a code that is valid for both areas.

  • Page 33: Goto Area

    OnQ Technologies, Inc. 25 Even if Auto Bypass is enabled, the system will not arm another area if any zones in that area are not ready. If any zone in Area 2 is not ready (open), after you enter the code, the keypad will beep three times and display "AREA 2"...

  • Page 34: Testing Your System

    26 Model 925 Owner's Manual Testing Your System OnQ Technologies, Inc. recommends testing your system on a weekly basis to ensure that you are fully protected. To test your system, you will need a partner to walk around your home and open and close all doors, windows, etc.

  • Page 37: Control

    CONTROL Control Commands The control features of the Model 925 make it easy and convenient to control almost any light or appliance from the keypad or over the telephone. You may also have your heating and air conditioning (HVAC) under control of the system, which will allow you to save energy dollars by setting the temperature appropriately when you are home, asleep, or away.

  • Page 38: Alc Switch Modules

    MODULES. Each module (or group of modules) is assigned a House Code and a Unit Number so that the Model 925 can control the modules individually. When a module hears a command from the Model 925 for its house code and unit number, it executes the command.

  • Page 39: Module Types

    House Codes All of your X-10 modules, controlled by your Model 925, must be set to a House Code. Each house code can have 16 unit numbers. The House Code is set on each module using the dial.
