To reset the passcode for a Radionics Security System:
1. Make sure the system is off (the "On" light is off). 2. Press the 5 key. An OK tone will sound, and the display will change. 3. Enter your current passcode. The "Part" light will flash, and your user number will appear. 4. Enter a new passcode with the same number of digits as your old one. If an error tone sounds, return to step 1 and try a different new passcode. 5. Enter the new passcode again. If the OK tone sounds, the system exits change passcode mode.

About This Users Guide This user’s guide shows you how to use and maintain your security system. It covers basic system functions, such as turning the system on and off. The functions described in this guide are programmed by your security company.
What is a Point? A “point” is a detection device, or group of devices connected to your security system. The keypad shows point status through the lights numbered 1 through 8 on the keypad display. Each point can represent a single door, window, motion sensor, smoke detector, or other detection device.
Controlled Points Controlled points respond to alarm conditions depending upon whether the system is turned on or turned off . They are programmed to either respond instantly to alarm conditions or to provide a delay for you to reach the keypad and turn the system off. Various controlled points may be located throughout your house.
24-Hour Points 24-hour points are always on, even when the system is turned off. There are two types of 24-hour points, Fire points and Non-Fire points. Fire Points Fire points only monitor fire detection devices, such as smoke detectors. They are always on and cannot be turned off. Non-Fire 24-Hour Points Non-fire points are always on and cannot be turned off.
Keypad Lights The keypad uses lights to indicate various conditions, such as whether your system is on or off, the status of protective points, whether there is a system trouble, and whether there is an alarm. Light Function Lights when the system is All or Part On. Flashes during exit delay and when an alarm occurs No Delay Lights when the system is All or Part On without...
Keypad Tones Your keypad emits several distinct tones and flashes keypad lights to alert you to system events. Additional bells or sirens may also be connected to your system. Bells or sirens mounted on the exterior of your premises alert neighbors to emergencies and provide an audible guide for police and fire fighters.
System Events Your system responds to four types of events. If more than one event occurs, your system sorts them into one of four groups. The groups (highest priority first) are: Fire Alarms, Burglary Alarms, Fire Troubles, and Non-Fire Troubles. Fire Alarms Fire alarms are the highest priority events.
How Your System Reports Alarms Your security system may be programmed to automatically disconnect your telephones when sending reports to your security company. Once the report is completed, your security system returns the telephones to normal operation (check with your security company).
Turning the System Off You turn off your security system by entering your personal passcode. When the system is On, you must enter through a designated entry door to prevent an instant alarm condition. Opening a designated door starts entry delay time and the keypad emits a pulsing “beep”...
Turning the System All On Use this function to turn on the entire system. Once you’ve pressed the 9 key, exit delay time starts to count down. You should leave before exit delay time expires. Leaving after exit delay expires causes an alarm event.
Turning the System All On, with No Delay I have this feature. I do not have this feature. Use this function to turn on the entire system, both All and Part without entry or exit delays. This function is useful when you’re staying home and you want your system on.
Turning On Part of the System (Part On) I have this feature. I do not have this feature. Part On turns on only a part of your system, leaving the rest of the system turned off. Refer to the Point Identification section of your keypad’s reference card to identify Part points.
Turning the System Part On, with No Delay I have this feature. I do not have this feature. Use this function to turn on Part of the system without entry or exit delays. 1. Make sure that all points are normal. With your system’s display showing, press the 0 key twice.
Turning the System On, with Points Open (Bypassing Points) I have this feature. I do not have this feature. Use this feature to selectively exclude points you do not wish to turn on with the rest of the system. For example, you may wish to bypass the patio door while turning on the remainder of the system.
Viewing Alarm Memory After an alarm has been silenced and cleared from the display, you may still review the points that had been in alarm. 1. Ensure that the system is turned off (On light is off). If there has been an alarm, and the system dialed your alarm company, the OK light will be flashing.
Resetting the System Use this feature to reset the system (including fire points) after an alarm and to clear alarm memory. Resetting the system takes about 20 seconds. The All, Part, and point lights go out during reset. If points do not reset, the OK light continues to wink.
Selecting Watch Tone Your system gives you the ability to “watch” points when it’s turned off, meaning that it can be programmed to alert you to opened doors and windows. For example, parents with small children may want a tone to be sounded whenever a door or window is opened as a way of monitoring the whereabouts of the kids.
Selecting Watch Points Once you’ve decided how your system will respond to watched points (see Selecting Watch Tone), you need to decide which of the points in your system are to be “watched.” Use this feature to tell your system which points to watch. You cannot watch fire points. Choosing which points to watch depends upon your goals.
Checking System Troubles Your system emits a trouble tone and winks the OK light to alert you to system trouble events. System troubles are caused by such things as low batteries. Use this feature to learn what is causing the trouble and what steps to take to correct it.
Changing Passcodes I have this feature. I do not have this feature. This feature lets you change your personal passcode at any time, without assistance from your alarm company. It is recommended that you write down your old passcode and the new one before you begin. 1.
Step Outside I have this feature. I do not have this feature. Use the Step Outside feature to temporarily turn off protection to an entrance door (or doors) when your system is On with No Delay. You can exit and reenter without turning your system off. You could use this feature to pick up the newspaper or to take the dog out.
Exit Only I have this feature. I do not have this feature. The Exit Only feature allows you to exit the premises when the system is On with No Delay. After exit delay expires, the door is returned to the system so that opening the door causes an alarm. You may, for example, use the Exit Only feature when you are going out but your family is staying home, saving you the trouble of having to turn the system off and then on again.
Silencing the Trouble Tone The trouble tone sounds and the OK light winks when there is a system trouble. Such things as low batteries cause system troubles. 1. When there is a system trouble, the trouble tone sounds and the OK light winks.
Show Passcode Types I have this feature. I do not have this feature. This feature requires a passcode. Use this feature to find out which passcode type is currently assigned to each of the users of your system. Passcode types are shown on lights 1 - 8.
Change Passcode Type I have this feature. I do not have this feature. This feature allows those with Owner type passcodes to change the passcode type for each of the users in the system. You cannot change your own passcode type. Passcodes can be one of three types: owner, user, or one-time.
Change Other Users’ Passcodes I have this feature. I do not have this feature. This feature allows those with Owner type passcodes to change the passcodes of system users. 1. Press Key 6 to enter Show User Mode. 2. Enter your passcode. (Owner type required.) 3.
System Test I have this feature. I do not have this feature. This feature helps to ensure that your system is operating properly. Be sure to contact your security company before you begin. 1. Make sure that the system is turned off. 2.
Although having a security system may make you eligible for reduced insurance premiums, the system is no substitute for insurance. Warning devices cannot compensate you for loss of life or property.
Fire Safety and Evacuation Residential fire is a leading cause of accidental death. Most fire related deaths occur at night when occupants suffocate in their sleep from smoke and toxic gases, rather than from burns. To help reduce this risk, the following program should be implemented. 1.
Central Station - A facility where trained personnel monitor your security system 24 hours a day. Your security system may be programmed to contact the central station during alarm conditions, enabling central station personnel to dispatch the proper authorities.
Maintenance and Service This security system requires very little maintenance, however, you should test the system weekly to ensure it is working properly. A test schedule and maintenance program can be arranged. If you notice a change in operation during normal use or testing, call for service as soon as possible.
