About the 6270 Introduction 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. This security system offers you burglary protection and may provide fire and emergency protection. To realize the full potential of the system, it is important that you feel comfortable operating it.
About the 6270 (cont'd) Navigating through the 6270 Navigation through the 6270 typically begins from the "Home" screen.

System Overview Introduction to Your System This system offers you burglary protection and may offer fire and emergency protection. Monitoring is accomplished with various contact and motion sensors for perimeter and interior burglary protection, plus the system may have strategically placed smoke, heat, or combustion detectors. Burglary Protection The burglary protection portion of your system must be turned on or "armed" before it will sense burglary alarm conditions.
System Overview (Cont'd) Entry/Exit Delays Your system has preset time delays, referred to as exit delay and entry delay. Whenever you arm your system, exit delay gives you time to leave through the designated exit door without setting off an alarm. Exit delay begins immediately after entering any arming command, and applies to all modes of arming protection. If programmed, a slow beeping will sound throughout the exit delay period.
System Overview (cont'd) User Codes Each user must be assigned a name with a corresponding 4-digit user code in order to gain access to various features and functions.
