  • Page 4: Introduction

    Introduction Congratulations on the purchase of your new AT&T Security System 8000. Your dealer has demonstrated the correct way to operate your new system. Use this booklet as a reference when you have questions about its operation or maintenance. Remember, no security system prevents emergencies. Instead, a security system alerts you and your family in the event of an emergency.

  • Page 5: Safety Procedures

    Safety Procedures Safety Planning Plan in advance how each member of your family should respond to an alarm. Discuss the different alarm signals, make sure each person is familiar with them, and make a plan for each person. If you have children, be sure that you instruct them carefully and that they understand.

  • Page 6: Fire Protection

    Safety Procedures Fire Protection To Reduce the Risk of Fire Minimize hazards: Store flammable materials properly. Avoid cleaning with flammable liquids such as gasoline. If at all possible, eliminate explosive or fast- burning materials from your home. Use good housekeeping techniques. A cluttered attic, basement, or storage area increases the risk of fire.
  • Page 7 Safety Procedures When the smoke alarm is triggered, the smoke detector’s internal siren sounds and the smoke detector transmits the alarm to the Central Control- ler. Also, the On/Alarm light in the center of the Supervised Smoke Detector Transmitter glows steadily. (During normal operation, this On/Alarm light flashes about once every 7 seconds.) Immediately follow the evacuation instructions given below.

  • Page 8: System Operation

    System Operation Sensors The AT&T Security System 8000 consists of various types of sensors. These sensors are attached to transmitters that report to the Central Controller. These sensors are set in one of the following ways: 24-Hour sensors are always armed. You cannot turn these sensors off.

  • Page 9: Wireless System Keypad (Wireless Remote Transmitter)

    System Operation Wireless System Keypad (Wireless Remote Transmitter) In order to operate your system correctly, you should be familiar with the Wireless System Keypad. Please read this section carefully and keep it handy as a reference source. NOTE: You need the security code to operate any keypad. When your dealer tells you the security code, write it down and store it safely.

  • Page 10: When Leaving Home

    System Operation When Leaving Home Enter your security code on the Wireless System Keypad attached to the door from which you will be leaving. The transmitter beeps once after each number you enter and will beep three times after the entire code is entered correctly.

  • Page 11: Sensors

    System Operation When Returning Home Enter your home through a door that is close to a Wireless System Keypad. The Central Controller will begin beeping at an interval of once every three seconds. Enter your security code on the keypad within 40 seconds of entering the door.

    System Operation Opening a Door or Window When the System Is Armed Enter your security code on the Wireless System Keypad 2 Press Off to disarm the system. 3 Open the door or window. 4 Rearm your system. The Central Controller will beep four times because of the open door or window.

  • Page 13: Alarms And Trouble Beeps

    Alarms and Trouble Beeps The System 8000 generates two types of warnings: alarms and trouble beeps. The following chart will help you distinguish between these warnings. Means NOTE: Your system may not be equipped for all these Trouble Beeps-A system problem has been detected. Your alarms.

  • Page 14: Alarms

    Alarms and Trouble Beeps Automatic Disarm Period After your system sounds a fire, environmental, or auxiliary alarm, it will not repeat the same kind of alarm for five minutes. This Automatic Disarm Period gives you time to clear away smoke or otherwise tend to the emergency, without having another alarm of this type go off.
  • Page 15 Alarms and Trouble Beeps The Ambush Feature The Ambush Feature is designed to protect you in the event that you must unwillingly cancel an intrusion alarm. Should an intruder force you to cancel an alarm, enter your security code backwards on the keypad. For example, if your code is 7-6-4, enter 4-6-7.

  • Page 16: Trouble Beeps

    Alarms and Trouble Beeps Trouble Beeps If your Central Controller starts to beep twice every 40 seconds, NO ALARM IS SOUNDING. The system is sounding Trouble Beeps to alert you to a problem it has detected. Trouble beeps can come from the Central Control- ler (see below), from the Wireless Siren/ Controller (see page 17), or from a Smoke Detector (see page 17).
  • Page 17 Alarms and Trouble Beeps (Continued) what 4 Check the Indicator Light to determine the problem is. Means This Light Alarm The transmitter shown in the display has recently registered an alarm that has not been canceled. If you cannot account for a recent alarm, contact your dealer immediately.
  • Page 18 Alarms and Trouble Beeps NOTE: If AC Power is the only indicator light on, the device shown in the display is NOT SECURE-it may be disarmed or its sensor may be open. This will not cause trouble beeps, but the Central Controller will beep four times when you try to set your system to HOME or AWAY.
  • Page 19 Alarms and Trouble Beeps When you hear Trouble Beeps from the Wireless Siren/ Controller Press Test/Demo on the Central Controler to silence the trouble beeps. When you press Test/Demo, each Wireless Siren/Controller will respond 1,4,8, or no beeps. 1 beep means - the Wireless Siren/Controller is okay. 4 beeps mean - the Wireless Siren/Controller needs new batteries.

  • Page 20: Components

    Components Different systems offer different selections of components to meet your specific needs. Your dealer will let you know what components are in your system. Central Controller The Central Controller is the brain of the system. When a transmitter broad- casts an alarm, the Central Controller sounds the audible alarm.
  • Page 21 Components If there is trouble with your system, Indicator Lights will tell you what the problem is. See page 15 for what each Indicator Light means. Press Messages to see if any trouble conditions or alarms have occured (see page 14). Press Clear Display to erase records of alarms and trouble messages.

  • Page 22: The Wireless System Keypad (Wireless Remote Transmitter)

    The Wireless System Keypad (Wireless Remote Transmitter) The Wireless System Keypad transmits commands to the Central Control- ler. It may be mounted on a wall and connected to one or more intrusion sensors, or it can be used as a portable device. Number Keys are used to enter your security code-either to cancel an alarm or to use other buttons (see page 7).

  • Page 23: Wireless Local Keypad (Keypad Transmitter)

    Components Wireless Local Keypad (Keypad Transmitter) The Wireless Local Keypad enables you to change the settings of the door controlled by this keypad. Like the Wireless System Keypad, it can also cancel an alarm, generate a Panic Alarm, and generate an Ambush Alarm, if your system is equipped with this feature.

  • Page 24: Supervised Smoke Detector

    Components Supervised Smoke Detector The AT&T Supervised Smoke Detector is a photoelectric type, designed to detect a fire in its early stages so that you can escape from your house before smoke reaches a dangerous concentration level. When the detector senses smoke particles, it simultaneously sounds an alarm (using a built-in siren) and sends an alarm to the Central Controller.
  • Page 25 Components NFPA Recommendations for Detector Installation The National Fire Protection Association’s Standard 74, Section 2-1, reads as follows: 2-1.1.1 Smoke detectors shall be installed outside of each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on each additional story of the family living unit, including basements and excluding crawl spaces and unfinished attics.
  • Page 26 Components NOTES: The Central Controller has a 3-AG 3/4-amp fuse on the external siren leads. If the external sirens do not sound when they should, the fuse may need replacing. Underwriter’s Laboratory requires the use of a UL-listed, single station smoke detector with a relay connected to a universal trans- mitter in fire applications.

  • Page 27: Universal Transmitter

    Components Universal Transmitter Transmitters are used differently in each system and are preset by your dealer. The back cover of this manual lists each transmitter and where it is located. Transmitters may be mounted on walls and connected to smoke or fire sensors, intrusion sensors, or other sensors.

  • Page 28: Passive Infrared Transmitter (Pirt)

    Components Passive Infrared Transmitter (PIRT) The PIRT is a space protector which detects intruders by measuring changes in heat patterns. When the PIRT detects an intruder, it transmits an alarm to the Central Controller. Most PlRTs are interior sensors and are only armed when your system is set to Away.

  • Page 29: Wireless Siren/Controller

    Components Wireless Siren/Controller This is an extension siren for remote areas of your home. It echoes trouble beeps and alarms sounded at the Central Controller. It also controls any optional sirens mounted inside or outside your home. The Wireless Siren/Controller operates on household power, but automati- cally switches to a backup battery during a power failure.

  • Page 30: Testing And Maintenance

Press Cancel for second (you will hear a chirp) to reset the low battery sensor in the Wireless Siren/Controller.

  • Page 34: Weekly System Test

    Testing and Maintenance Your AT&T Security System 8000 requires very little maintenance. All you will normally need to do is replace its batteries whenever they run low. YOU SHOULD ALSO TEST YOUR SYSTEM WEEKLY-WITH AND WITHOUT AC POWER-TO BE SURE EVERYTHING WORKS PROPERLY.
  • Page 35 Testing and Maintenance (Continued) After a fire, environmental, or auxiliary alarm, the system will normally not respond to the same type of alarm again for about 5 minutes. (See “Automatic Disarm Period,” page 12.) But in the DEMONSTRATION mode, this disarm period is only 2 minutes. 5 After you hear the alarm sound, cancel the alarm by entering your security code on the keypad of any transmitter.
  • Page 36 Testing and Maintenance If any of the transmitters fails to trigger an alarm, and the cause is not obvious, call your dealer immediately. If you forget to take the system out of the DEMONSTRATION mode, it will reset itself in about 10 minutes. NOTE: When you are done testing, be sure to restore AC power to your Central Controller.
