General Operation

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 01, sensing
devices on windows in the master bedroom to zone 02, and so on. These numbers appear
on the display when an alarm or trouble condition occurs.
ReadyGuard-R is not intended for UL985 Household Fire applications.

Fire Protection

The fire protection portion of your security system (if used) is always active and will
sound an alarm if a fire condition is detected. Refer to the FIRE ALARM SYSTEM section
for important information concerning fire protection, smoke detectors and planning
emergency exit routes from the premises.

Burglary Protection

Your system provides two modes of burglary protection: STAY and AWAY. STAY
mode protects the perimeter only, allowing you to freely move within inside the premises.
AWAY mode protects the entire system. Both modes provide an entry delay time that
allows you to reenter the premises without setting off an alarm. For additional security,
you can turn the entry delay off when arming the system by using the
combination with the desired arming key. The system also allows you to bypass selected
zones before arming the system, if desired. Refer to the BYPASSING PROTECTION
ZONES section. The system also provides a CHIME mode, for alerting users to the
opening of protected doors and windows while the system is disarmed.
You must turn on ("arm") the burglary protection portion of your system before it will
sense burglary alarms. To arm the system, enter your security code then press the desired
arming key (AWAY or STAY). Refer to the ARMING THE SYSTEM section for detailed
procedures and information.
Security Codes
At the time of installation, you were assigned a personal 4-digit security code. You must
enter the security code when arming and disarming the system, and when performing
other system functions. As an additional security feature, other users who do not need to
know your code can be assigned up to 6 different security codes. Refer to the SECURITY
CODES section for procedures on adding security codes to the system.
Alarms
When an alarm occurs, the keypad and external sounders will sound for about 45-seconds,
and the keypad will display the zone(s) causing the alarm. After 45-seconds, the siren stop
temporarily and voice announcements of the zones in alarm begin. When these zones
have been announced, the siren sounds again and the cycle repeats itself, until the system
is disarmed (code + OFF). If your system is connected to a central monitoring station, an
alarm message will be sent.
