Your Security System Motion Sensor (Interior Protection) Smoke Detector ZONE ZONE Magnetic Contact Glassbreak Detector (Perimeter Protection) Keypad CONTROL ZONE PANEL Siren (Alarm) Monitoring Station Your security system includes a number of detection devices, such as magnetic contacts, glassbreak detectors, smoke detec- tors, and motion sensors.
How Your Security System Works When an intruder enters the building, a detection device is trig- gered. The device sends a message to the control panel. The device may have LEDs (lights) that blink. The control panel responds by sounding the alarm. (Alarm sounds vary.
Your System's Programming Your Sierra security system has been customized to suit your needs. Besides selecting the best equipment for your building, your installer has programmed your system to operate in a way that reflects your lifestyle. For example, your system may be programmed to recognize special user codes, to arm and disarm automatically, or to report to a monitoring station.

System Status Messages Your keypad's display gives you information about the status of your system. If there is more than one condition to report, your keypad displays each message in turn. Below is a list of the types of messages you may see. On your display, the # symbol is replaced with the number of the zone, or zones, in question.
User Codes and User Numbers A user code is a secret four-digit number, used to arm and dis- arm the system, and possibly to make other changes. Every in- dividual who has a user code is also assigned a two-digit user number.
How to Assign or Change User Codes To Assign or Change User codes can be created or a User Code: changed as often as you like. Any code you select must be Press and hold the four digits long. [user prg] key for 2 seconds You cannot use 0000, or assign until you hear two beeps.

For systems without multiple areas, the code is assigned to user number 15.
How the Arming Modes Differ Your security system can be armed in a number of ways, to suit different situations. These modes are summarized below: Full Arming. You cannot be inside the building when it is armed with full-arming. If sensors detect movement within a building, or at the building's perimeter, an alarm sounds.
Exit Delays An exit delay is the amount of time you have to exit and secure the building, once your security system begins to arm. These delays last from 20 to 255 seconds, depending upon how your system was programmed. During the exit delay, the Arm LED blinks.
If you are using a common-area keypad or a common keypad to arm and disarm your system, follow the arming instruc- tions described in Section 7 of this manual. (These keypads are used in NOTE partitioned systems.) Interior armed _X_ Perimeter armed _X_ Full Exit allowed _X_...

Arming With Not-Ready Zones The zones in your system are not always ready to arm. For ex- ample, a zone would not be ready to arm if one of its sensors has been vandalized, needs service, or detects a potential alarm condi- tion.
Bypassing To Bypass a Zone: When you manually bypass a zone, your security system When a zone is faulted, the functions as if that zone does display reads: not exist. Bypassed zones are not protected. The master user can bypass any zone.
Quick Bypassing To Bypass a Zone with Quick Quick bypassing allows you to Bypassing: bypass zones without entering a user code. This option must When a zone is faulted, the be programmed into your sys- display reads: tem by the installer. With quick bypassing, any user can by- pass any bypassable zone.
Depending upon your system's programming, the keypad lockout may not affect arming. Keyswitch Arming. This accessory (Sierra S5051 or equiva- lent) allows you to arm and/or disarm the system with a key. Fol- low the instructions provided with the switch.

Optional Arming Features (continued) Automatic Home-Arming. Automatic Home-Arming allows you to remain inside a building while its perimeter zones (such as doors and windows) are armed. Arming begins by entering your user code. If you exit the building during the exit delay, the sys- tem arms both the interior and perimeter zones (full arming).
Entry Delays Similar to an exit delay, an entry delay is the time you are allowed to enter the building, walk to the keypad, and enter a user code before an alarm sounds. This delay lasts from 10 to 255 sec- onds, depending on your system's programming.

How to Prevent False Alarms False alarms are more than a nuisance—they reduce the reliabil- ity of your security system. Here are a few steps you can take to prevent the annoyance and expense of false alarms. Know your system. Make sure all system users under- stand how to arm and disarm, and what special functions they can and cannot do.
How to Prevent False Alarms (continued) Time). Also, check your clock after a power failure. See Section 5. 8. Keep pets (and other animals) from motion detectors.

Common System Messages Below is an explanation of the common messages your keypad might display. Beside each message is a discussion of what re- sponses are appropriate. If you find the response is ineffective, call your local C&K service representative. In the table below, the ellipses (...) represent the specific infor- mation, such as zone numbers, that follows the system message.
Troubleshooting Service Conditions Your system notifies you if a keypad, sensor, or other system component, needs service. When a service condition exists, the keypad beeps twice every 30 seconds for one minute. The dis- play shows the following message: To get more information about the service message, press and hold the [service] key for two seconds.

What Areas Do Your security system allows you to divide (or "partition") a building into as many as eight areas, regions that can be armed and disarmed individu- ally. Designed primarily for commercial settings, areas can limit an individual's access to portions of a building.
Page 54
areas, portions of the building can be independently armed and disarmed. In the case of the first building illustrated, an employee can work in the re- pair shop while the showroom, offices, and warehouse are armed. Similarly, in the case of the second illustration, the restaurant can remain open af- ter the other shops are closed...
Pre-Assigned Area User Numbers As the table below shows, some user numbers are reserved for specific user types. For example, User 11 is the preassigned Kidwatch user number. If programmed, your system automati- cally restricts User 11 to the limited Kidwatch privileges. When your system does not recognize a given user type, the user number functions like other non-reserved user numbers.
Understanding the Area Status Menu The Area Status Menu summarizes the conditions of your system's areas. The menu only appears on keypads assigned to the com- mon area of a partitioned system. To display the menu, enter your user code. You see something like this: The numbers on the right-hand side of the display represent the areas of your system.

The Area Status Menu (continued) If You See... That Means... A (steadily lit) The area is armed with full-arming. A (blinking) The area is being armed with full arming. (An exit delay is in progress.) H (steadily lit) The area is armed with home arming. H (blinking) The area is being armed with home arming.
Using Multiple Keypads in an Area In any area, only one keypad can be used at a time. If you try to use another keypad while one is in use, you see the following: Arming Individual Areas To Arm One Area: From the Area Status Menu, you can arm individual areas of your system.

Canceling Alarms In a partitioned system, you can have simultaneous alarms in several areas. For example, at the same time, alarms may occur in areas 2, 3, and 5. To cancel an alarm in an area, press the key and enter your user code.

Where to Place Smoke Detectors One or more of the zones of your security system can be connected to a smoke detector. When installing smoke detectors, we recom- mend that you follow the United States' National Fire Protection Association's guidelines for smoke detector placement. For the best early warning, smoke detectors should be installed in every room.
How to Evacuate in an Emergency Every household and business should prepare for a fire by establishing escape routes and regularly practicing escapes. The National Fire Protection Association recommends you take the following steps to develop your own emergency plan: 1.
