SYSTEM OVERVIEW
General Congratulations on your ownership of an Ademco Security System. You've made a
wise decision in choosing it, for it represents the latest in security protection
technology today, including microcomputer technology to monitor all system status.
Ademco is the world's largest manufacturer of security systems and millions of
premises are protected by Ademco systems.
Basically, this system offers you three forms of protection: burglary, fire and emer-
gency. Your system may consist of at least one console which provides full control
of system operation, various sensors such as motion detectors and door and
window sensing devices, plus a selected number of strategically placed smoke or
combustion detectors designed to provide early warning in case of fire. Your
system may also have been programmed to automatically transmit alarm or status
messages over the phone lines to a central alarm monitoring station.
Consoles All system functions are controlled by your console(s). The consoles feature a
telephone style (digital) keypad and a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) which shows
the nature and location of all occurrences. Their built-in sounder will sound during
alarm and trouble conditions.
The Security System can use either Alpha Display or Fixed Word Display Gonsoles
to perform and display system functions. Unless stated otherwise, all commands
and procedures described herein apply equally to both types of consoles.
Zones your system's sensing devices have been assigned to various "zones". For
example, the sensing device on your Entry/Exit door may have been assigned to
zone 06, sensing devices on windows in the master bedroom to zone 10, and so
on. These zone numbers will appear on the display when an alarm or trouble
condition occurs.
