Reference Information ................... 10 1: Introduction Congratulations on purchasing the Penta security system. You have taken a major step in protecting your home or business. In addition to the explanation you will receive from your installer, we urge you to read through this manual. This will help you familiarize yourself with the system, so that you can take advantage of its many advanced features.
Zones The Penta security system comprises four security zones. A zone can be defined as a protected area in your security system. Each zone can be protected by one or more detection devices such as motion detectors, magnetic contacts, glassbreak detectors and shock sensors.

3.2: Command Codes The Penta security system is operated by entering command codes on the numeric keypad. A command is executed by pressing the ‘Q‘ button followed by the corresponding command number. In some cases, a valid user code is also required.
Enter a valid user code; the keypad beeps until the end of the exit delay. Quick Arming This feature allows you to arm the Penta without entering a valid user code. To “Quick” arm the system: Check that all zones are closed; the Ready LED lights up to indicate that the system is ready to be armed.
Disarming The Penta can be disarmed by entering a valid user code during the entry delay. If an error is made entering the code, press ‘#’ and enter the code again. When the code is accepted the Armed LED and the pulsed delay tone are turned off. If the correct code is not entered by the end of the delay time, an alarm will be generated.
When using Follow-me, the Penta dials the telephone number programmed by the installer and sounds two beeps. After hearing the two beeps, pressing 3, 6, 9 or # on the telephone sounds a number of tones to indicate exactly which type of alarm has occurred.
Press and hold down # for more than 2 seconds. 3.11: Testing the System Electronics Line recommends that you test your system at least once a week. Walk Test Walk test mode enables you to test peripheral detection devices, such as PIR detectors and magnetic door contacts.
