Your Security System Your security system includes a number of detection devices, such as magnetic contacts, glassbreak detectors, smoke detec- tors, and motion sensors. These devices identify alarm condi- tions and report them to the control panel. If programmed, the control panel sounds an alarm.
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 flash. 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.
Quick Guide To Your Keypad The drawing below identifies and explains the important features of your LED keypad. Emergency Keys Keypad Lights (LEDs) To notify your monitoring Describes the system's status, such as: station of an emergency, —if the system is ready to arm press and hold these keys —if an alarm has occurred for two seconds until you...
Understanding the Lights (LEDs) Your keypad has a number of LEDs that summarize the status of your security system. Each LED can convey several different mes- sages by being on, off, or blinking. The illustration shows what messages the lights communicate. LED Blink Rates Slow: light blinks twice every three seconds Fast: light blinks three times every two seconds...
Emergency Keys Your keypad is equipped with To Use Emergency Keys: three emergency keys. The keys do not function unless To report a medical emer- your installer activated them. If gency, press and hold the activated, these keys are a key for 2 seconds.
About User Codes and User Numbers You can assign a different user code and user number to each person who operates the system. Your security system supports up to 60 users. If you prefer, you can assign only one user code and user num- ber to a group of users.
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. You cannot use 0000, or assign the same [user prg] key for 2 seconds code to more than one user...

Selecting the Right User Number At installation, each user number is assigned rights and privi- leges. For example, user number 18 may have the right to arm, disarm, and bypass zones. This is true even if, in this example, there is no user 18 using the system. Thus, when you assign a user code to a new user, be sure that you select a user number with the privileges you want that user to have.
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 Delay 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.
Interior armed ___ Home Perimeter armed _X_ Exit allowed _X_ Arming Requires user code _X_ Automatically arms ___ No entry allowed ___ To Home Arm the System: With home arming, you can re- main inside a building while its Make sure the Ready LED is perimeter sensors (such as doors and windows) are armed.

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, the security system func- tions as if that zone does not When a zone is faulted, exist. Bypassed zones are the zone's LED is lit. To not protected. bypass the zone, press the key.
Quick Bypassing To Bypass a Zone with Quick bypassing allows you to Quick Bypassing: bypass zones without entering a user code. This option must When a zone is faulted, the be programmed into your sys- zone's LED is lit. To bypass tem by the installer.
Optional Arming Features Your system offers several optional arming features, described below. Refer to Section 8 to see which features are installed on your system. Extended Exit Delay. This feature automatically resets the exit delay if you re-enter the building while the system is being armed. You may re-enter up to four times;...
Optional Arming Features (continued) Automatic Home-Arming. Automatic Home-Arming allows you to remain inside a building while its perimeter sensors (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 upon your system's programming.

Canceling an Alarm If programmed, your system To Cancel an Alarm: pauses briefly before sounding The Arm LED blinks and an alarm. This gives you the opportunity to cancel a false your system's sirens may alarm. You can cancel the sound.
How to Prevent False Alarms False alarms are more than a nuisance—they reduce the reli- ability of your security system. Here are a few steps you can take to prevent the annoyance and expense of false alarms. 1. 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) 8. Bypass trouble zones. If you have one or more trouble zones (zones with sensors that may need service), bypass them before arming your system. Have the sensor(s) in- spected if the problem continues. Remember that bypassed zones are not protected.

What Areas Do The S5832 control panel 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.

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 and armed.
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 pre-assigned 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.
How Areas Affect the System If your building is divided into areas, your LED keypad is assigned to one area only. From the LED keypad, you can only make changes that affect that area alone. This is described in more detail below.

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.
