Introduction By purchasing this security system, you have taken a major step toward protecting your home or business. Read these instructions carefully to familiarize yourself with the system. Your system has been custom designed to meet your specific requirements and may include features not discussed in this manual.
LCD Overview Figure 1 – LCD Control Station 1. Status Indicator Ready: On-System is ready to arm. Off-System is not ready to arm. Armed: On-Intrusion detection system is armed. Off-Intrusion detection system is disarmed. Blinking-A burglar alarm has occurred 2. Menu Key Allows the user to scroll through available menu options. 3.
Normal Arming & Disarming When the system is disarmed and all zones are secure (all contacted doors, widows, etc. closed), the LCD displays AREA 1 READY TO ARM. Since the area name “AREA 1” is often customized at the time of installation, your display may be slightly different.
• ARMED NITE Perimeter and selected interior zones armed with entry time. • ARMED NITE INST Perimeter and selected interior zones armed with no entry time. Figure 2 – Normal System Arming 3.2 To Disarm Select the DISARM soft key. At the ENTER PASSCODE prompt, enter your user code and press the ENTER soft key.
System Not Ready To Arm When one or more intrusion zones are faulted (a contacted door or window is not properly closed, for example), the LCD indicates AREA 1 NOT READY and gives you the option to DISPLAY the name of each faulted zone.

Quick Commands Quick commands are included in this system as a convenience feature. They enable the engaging of certain functions with fewer keystrokes than the conventional procedure. The following paragraphs outline the procedures for Quick Arming, Quick Disarming, Quick Arming Level Change and Quick Force Arming.
5.2 Quick Disarming From the armed LCD menu screen, enter your user passcode without pressing the DISARM soft key. Then press the DISARM soft key. Figure 7 – Quick Disarming Glossary Table of Contents...
5.3 Quick Arming Level Change You may occasionally wish to change the system’s arming level (AWAY, STAY, NIGHT) while the system is armed. Unlike many security systems, this system has a feature that allows you to change the arming level without completely disarming and then rearming the system.
5.4 Quick Force Arming To Quick Force Arm the system, enter you user code without pressing ARM. Choose the arming level as you would in a regular arming procedure. When the system displays NOT REAY TO ARM, press the “#” key to force arm the system, i.e., to arm the system “around”...
What To Do If The Alarm Is Sounding The display indicates that an intrusion has occurred. 1. Press SILENCE. 2. Enter your user code. If you make an error entering your code, press CLEAR and reenter the code. 3. Press the soft key corresponding to ENTER. The LCD then displays the first zone that went into alarm.
Trouble Conditions If a trouble condition exists, the LCD blinks back and forth between a system trouble message and the area’s status. Some trouble conditions also produce an audible alarm. When more than one trouble condition is present, the display scrolls through the trouble conditions and the area’s status, pausing two seconds for each item displayed.
7.2 Trouble Conditions When the System Is Armed Defining trouble conditions when the system is armed requires a slightly different procedure. It is necessary to enter a user code before the system displays the detailed trouble condition(s). However, in this procedure, entering the user code automatically silences all audible alert tones.
Auxiliary Panic Keys The three keys on the left side of the keypad face are Auxiliary Panic Keys. The functions activated by these keys have various uses. Most are used as distress signals and always work regardless of whether or not the system is armed.
Menu Features and Definitions The system has menu selections that enable you to perform a variety of functions, including user level programming. The menu key allows you to scroll through the available options. Note: Flowcharts detail the procedures for accessing the menu features described in this chapter.

ENABLE CHIME: Provides an audible annunciation from the control stations(s) when certain doors and/or windows in the protected area are opened while the system is disarmed. The feature is commonly used for residential door annunciation or as customer entry notification in retail establishments.

10.3 Temporary Codes The installer may designate an optional temporary code (Authority Level 4) in your system. This code, designed as a convenience feature, allows restricted access to the system. It is for use by people (baby-sitters, maintenance personnel, etc.) to whom you may wish to give limited, temporary access to the area protected by your security system.
11.0 LED Keypad Operation Your system may be equipped with an LED keypad. This type keypad allows you to operate the control in a very simple manner and is limited to AWAY level arming. The keypad can arm, disarm, view system status and perform access.
12.0 Fire Detection Your system may include fire detection, depending upon purchased options and the local regulations for your area. If so, please notify your local fire department that a fire alarm system has been installed. Fire systems require regular testing and maintenance. Common household dust buildup in smoke detectors can cause them to false alarm or fail in a time of need.
