  • Page 4: Getting Acquainted

    What your alarm system is... Your alarm system is made up of a control panel and several detection devices like motion sensors, magnetic contacts, and so on. Specific areas of detection are called zones. Zones can be programmed to have different characteristics. Some zones may be 24-hour zones, that is, they remain armed even when the alarm system is off.
  • Page 5 Each alarm system in the 23XX family is designed to meet the specific needs of a variety of applications. The System 236 is designed for applications requiring protection of six zones. Some of the available features of your alarm system are also optional, and will only be installed if appropriate for your installation.

    BYPASSING ZONES This procedure allows you to bypass one or more zones while your system is DISARMED . (See NOTE pg. 15) NOTE: System programming determines which PINs can bypass zones, also which zones can be bypassed. To learn if a zone can be bypassed, see the ZONE DESCRIP- TION LIST on page 37.
  • Page 15 To indicate that zones are bypassed, the zone LED for the bypassed zone will flash slowly. NOTE: Zones can be also be bypassed by remote programming. When remote pro- gramming is used, the system can either be armed or disarmed. The procedures for adding a bypass and removing a bypass are identical.

    We subscribe to the recommendations for the number and placement of smoke and/or heat detectors found in the National Fire Protection Association's Standard #72, Chapter 2 (N.F.P.A. Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269). For the best early warning, fire detection devices should be installed in all rooms and areas of the premises. A smoke detector should be installed in each separate sleeping area, in the vicinity of bedrooms.

  • Page 32: Limitations Of Your Alarm System

    THE LIMITATIONS OF YOUR ALARM SYSTEM While your alarm system is reliable and sophisticated, it does not offer guaranteed protection against burglary or fire. Any alarm system, whether commercial or residential, is subject to compromise or failure-to-warn for a variety of reasons. These include: Intruders may gain access through unprotected openings or have the technical sophistication to bypass an alarm sensor or disconnect an alarm warning device.
