Reference Information ..................10 1: Introduction Congratulations on purchasing a Penta XL series security system. You have taken a major step in protecting your home or business.

This will help you familiarize yourself with the system, so that you can take advantage of its many advanced features.

3.2: Command Codes The security system is operated by entering command codes on the numeric keypad. A command is executed by pressing the ‘ ‘ button followed by the corresponding command number. In some cases, a valid user code is also required. The following is a summary of the command codes used in system operation.
Note: Do not erase User Code 1! Erasing this code denies the user the ability to program user codes. If User Code 1 is accidentally erased, contact your installer. Duress Code In the event that you are forced to disarm the system, entering the duress code disarms the system and sends a silent alarm to the central station.
Disarming You can disarm the system 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 indicator 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.
3.8: Event Logs The event logs record events that the system has undergone since the last arming. If any events have been recorded in either event log, the System indicator flashes until the relevant event log has been viewed. In the event that a trouble condition still exists, the System indicator continues to flash until the condition has been remedied.
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.
