Introduction to Your Security System Your security system uses wireless technology to warn your family about intrusion, carbon monoxide and fire. It may also be used to control lights and appliances within your home. The system has the capabilities of communicating with a central monitoring station and sending messages to a numeric pager or remote phone (voice event notification). This manual describes how to operate your system.
Outdoor Motion Sensors detect motion in a protected outdoor area. When motion is detected, the system may respond by sounding chimes or turning on outside lights. These sensors are not used for intrusion detection. Door/Window Sensors detect the opening of a door or window. Smoke Sensors detect smoke and a significant rise in temperature. They have a built in siren that sounds when smoke or a significant rise in temperature is detected. Freeze Sensors detect furnace failure.
Keychain Touchpad Keychain Touchpads are handy for simple arming, disarming and light control functions. They are portable and can be carried off-site in a purse or pocket. Telephone Touchtone telephones can be used to communicate with your system while you are off-site. Ask your installer if you have this feature. Computer With the addition of the Ethernet Interface module a computer can be used to control your system.
Entry Delay Entry Delay is the amount of time the system gives you to disarm the system after entering the home (between 5 and 254 seconds). This is programmed by the installer. When you enter your home you will hear beeps during the entry delay (see the table “Status Beeps” of this manual to determine the meaning of panel/system beeps). Your Entry Delay is set for ___ seconds. Quick Exit Note The designated door may be opened and closed once.
Note This feature is most likely used when there is no one on the premises. Panel announces, Motions on. Arm Motion Sensors light will be lit and the exit delay will begin. ¾ Activate Latchkey Feature 1. Press the Arm Motion Sensors button twice. 2. Enter Access Code (if needed). Panel announces, Motions on, Latchkey on. Arm Motion Sensors light will blink and the exit delay will begin. ¾ Disarming Your System 1. Upon reentering your home the entry delay will begin. 2. Status beeps will sound. 3.
HOME CONTROL C h im e D o o rs M o tio n T im e S e n s o r O n O ff H O B y p a s s M E C O N T R O L L ig h ts The Home Control buttons are used to monitor activity within and around the home. They are not used for intrusion protection. If any of the Home Control buttons are pressed and a sensor or module is not associated (programmed) with this feature the panel will announce, Function not available.
Panel will announce, time activated light on. Time Lights button will be lit. ¾ Turn Time Activated Lights off: 1. Press Time Lights button. Panel will announce, time activated light off. Time Lights button no longer lit. Sensor Activated Lights Turn on designated lights (with Lamp Modules) when a sensor is tripped. You can program lockout times when Sensor Activated Lights won’t be active (see Programming Options 36 and 37). ¾ Turn Sensor Activated Lights On: 1. System must be disarmed.
EMERGENCY E M F IR E P O L IC E E R G E N C Y A U X Press FIRE, POLICE, or AUX for 2 seconds (or press twice quickly) to call the central monitoring station and notify them of a non-medical call for help. How Your System Communicates to You Note The panel will not give voice messages during an AVM session. Talk to your security system dealer to see if your panel has the AVM option.
Alarm Sirens and Lamp Modules Exterior and interior sirens make 3 different alarm sounds on the premises, each indicating a different type of alarm. Sirens are programmed by the installer to time-out and stop sounding after a specified time. Use the following table to understand the siren sounds used by the security system. Temporal 3 refers to a continuous pattern of 3 siren pulses then off for 1.5 seconds, 3 siren pulses then off for 1.5 seconds.

How to Use an Off-Site Phone Note You may have to perform steps 1 & 2 more than once. Ask your installer how your system is programmed. You may use an off-site phone to arm/disarm your panel, turn lights on and off, check system status, or conduct an audio session (ask your installer if you have this feature). ¾ How to gain access to the Control Panel: 1. Call the panel phone number and let the phone ring once then hang up. 2. Wait 10 - 40 seconds and call the panel again. 3.

Sensor Failure This condition occurs if a sensor is not communicating with the panel. Status beeps will start and the SYSTEM STATUS button will light. Press the SYSTEM STATUS button to hear which sensor(s) failed. Perform sensor tests. It may be necessary for you to call your security system dealer if the problem continues. Sensor Low Battery This condition occurs if a system sensor has a low battery. The sensor may still be communicating with the panel.
Testing As an added safeguard, there are system tests you should do yourself on a regular basis. It is recommended that you test your system weekly. Testing Sensors You can test sensors one at a time to make sure they are sending strong signals to the panel. You should test the security system at least once a week. Note The RF Electronic Thermostat and DTIM are automatically tested when a sensor test begins. The panel will announce, Sensor XXX activated, status is one, if the thermostat and DTIM are OK.
Testing Communication Communication between your system, the central monitoring station, pager and your remote phone (voice event notification) should be tested at least once per week to make sure you have the proper telephone connection. Note If your system is not connected to a central monitoring station and you don’t use a pager or remote phone, you won’t be able to perform the phone test. ¾ To perform a phone test: 1. Open the panel cover. 2. Enter the master access code. 3.
• If freeze or any environmental sensors are not located in areas where the appropriate condition can be detected. • If smoke does not reach a Smoke Sensor. For example, Smoke Sensors cannot detect smoke in chimneys, walls, roofs, or smoke blocked by a closed door. Sensors may not detect smoke in other levels of the building. Sensors may not warn in time when fires are caused by smoking in bed, explosions, improper storage of flammables, overloaded electrical circuits, or other hazardous conditions.
Notify the fire department from a neighbor’s phone. • Emphasize that no one should enter the premises if they hear sirens in the house. • If you arrive at the premises and hear sirens, do not enter. Call for emergency assistance from a neighbor’s phone. A smoke detector should be located on each level.
