IMPORTANT!
PROPER INTRUSION PROTECTION
For proper intrusion coverage, sensors should be located at every possible point of entry to a home or commercial premises. This would include any skylights that may be present, and the upper windows in a
In addition, we recommend that radio backup be used in a security system so that alarm signals can still be sent to the Central Monitoring Station in the event that the telephone lines are out of order (alarm signals are normally sent over the phone lines).
EARLY WARNING FIRE DETECTION
Early warning fire detection is important in a home. Smoke and heat detectors have played a key role in reducing fire deaths in the United States. With regard to the number and placement of smoke/heat detectors, we subscribe to the recommendations contained in the National Fire Protection Association's National Fire Alarm Code (NFPA 72). These recommendations can be found on page 47 of this manual.

About The Keypads
General Information
Your keypads allow you to control all system functions and feature the following:
•A telephone style (digital) keypad
•Liquid Crystal Displays (LCD) that show the nature and location of all occurrences
•
•Backlighting of the LCD display windows. Backlighting turns on when any key is pressed or when entering the premises through any assigned entry/exit door. This feature is helpful when a keypad is located in a dimly lit area.
•Some keypads have a voice feature that announces the nature and location of all system occurrences. Voice keypads also announce any faulted entry/exit or perimeter zone when Chime mode is on. Ask your installer if this option has been programmed for your system.
IMPORTANT: If the keypad beeps rapidly upon entering the premises, it indicates that an alarm has occurred during your absence and an intruder may still be on the premises. LEAVE IMMEDIATELY and CONTACT THE POLICE from a nearby safe location.
Your keypads are functionally the same, but may have different types of displays, depending on the type installed with your system.

alphanumeric LCD that displays system messages in friendly | |
English. These keypads can also be programmed with custom | |
zone descriptors. | |
Alpha display keypads, but the LCD display uses pre- | |
designated words to identify the nature and location of | |
occurrences. | |
Voice Keypads | Voice Keypads (if installed), are functionally the same as other |
keypads, except that these keypads can provide the following: | |
• Voice announcements of system status (see Checking for | |
Open Zones section) | |
• Voice chime, which can alert you to the opening of doors and | |
windows while the system is disarmed (see Voice Chime in | |

Entry Delay
Entry Delays give you time to disarm the system when you
You must disarm the system before the entry delay period ends, or an alarm will occur. The keypad beeps during the entry delay period, reminding you to disarm the system. The beeps stop when a code is entered, but will restart after about 15 seconds if an invalid code is entered.
You can also arm the system with no entry delay at all by using the INSTANT or MAXIMUM arming modes. These modes provide greater security while on the premises or while away for extended periods of time.
See your installer for your delay times.

Exit Delay
Exit delay gives you time to leave through the designated exit door(s) without setting off an alarm. Exit delay begins immediately after arming your system in any arming mode and Alpha Display keypads display the message “You May Exit Now.” When “You may exit now” disappears, the system is fully armed. If programmed, a slow beeping will sound during the exit delay period until the last 10 seconds, which then changes to fast beeping (alerting you to the end of exit delay). If you cannot leave within this delay time period, you should stop, disarm the system, and start over to avoid a false alarm.
Exit Delay Restart (if programmed):If you wish to open the entry/exit door to let someone in after arming STAY, you can restart theexit time delay at any time –simply press the [ ]key, then let that person in (the perimeter zones remain armed). The system automatically rearms the entry/exit door when the exit delay expires, thereby avoiding having to disarm the system and then rearm it again. Additionally, when the system is armed AWAY, reopening and closing the entry/exit doorbefore exit delay time expires (e.g.,
Entry/Exit Delays (cont’d)
Exit Alarms
Exit Error Conditions
Whenever you arm the system, the exit delay begins. If an entry/exit door or interior zone is faulted before exit delay expires and remains faulted (e.g., exit door left open), the system sounds an alarm and starts the entry delay timer. If you disarm the system before the entry delay ends, the alarm sound stops and the message 'ALARM CANCELED ' or 'CA' is displayed on the keypad, along with a zone number indicating the faulted zone. No message is sent to the Central Monitoring Station.
To clear the exit error condition, the open zone must be made intact; to clear the display, enter your code plus OFF.
If you do not disarm the system before the entry delay ends and the faulted zone remains open, the alarm sound continues and an 'exit alarm' message is sent to the Central Monitoring Station (after the
An “exit alarm” also results if an entry/exit door or interior zone is faulted within two minutes after the end of the exit delay.
Your system may have been programmed for this feature to minimize false alarms sent to the Central Monitoring Station. Ask your installer if 'Exit Alarm' is active in your system. If so, check this box.
“Recent Closing” Condition
A Recent Closing condition is similar to the Exit Error condition described above, but occurs if an entry/exit door or interior zone is faulted within two minutes after the initial exit delay expires. If you disarm the system within the two minutes, the alarm sound stops and the message 'ALARM CANCELED ' or 'CA' is displayed on the keypad, along with a zone number indicating the faulted zone. No message is sent to the Central Monitoring Station.
If you do not disarm the system within two minutes and the faulted zone remains open, the alarm sound continues and a “recent closing” and a “zone alarm” message are sent to the Central Monitoring Station (after the
Checking For Open Zones
Using the [ ] Key to Display and Announce System Status
Before arming your system, all protected doors, windows and other protection zones must be closed or bypassed; otherwise the keypad will display a 'Not Ready' message.

Green Light: Lights when the system isdisarmed and ready to be armed (no open zones). If the system is disarmed and the green light is off, it indicates the system is not ready (one or more zones are open).
Red Light: Lights or flashes when system is armed in AWAY or STAY mode. See your installer for the meanings of the lit red light:
Lit Steady = system armed AWAY or
system armed STAY and exit delay has expired
Flashing = system armed STAY and exit delay timer active
Rapid flashing = an alarm has occurred (memory of alarm).
Before arming, close all perimeter doors and windows.
To arm in the AWAY mode:
Turn the key to the right for 1/2 second and release. Keypads beep twice and the red indicator lights or flashes.
To arm in the STAY mode:
Turn the key to the right and hold for longer than 1 second, then release. Keypads beep three times and the red indicator lights or flashes.
To disarm the system:
Turn the key to the right and release. The red light turns off
