SYSTEM OVERVIEW This manual is a step-by-step guide that will acquaint you with the system's features and benefits. It defines the components and their functions, describes their operation, and provides clear step-by-step instructions for normal and emergency procedures. Keep this manual in a convenient place so that you can refer to it as necessary. General Congratulations on your ownership of an ADEMCO Security System.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW (cont) Alarms When an alarm occurs, both the keypad and external sounders will sound, and a message at the keypad will identify the zone(s) causing the alarm. In addition, if your system is connected to a central monitoring station, an alarm message will be sent. To stop the alarm sounding, you simply disarm the system. Fire Protection The fire protection portion of your security system (if used) is always active and will sound an alarm if a fire condition is detected.
ABOUT THE KEYPADS General Your keypads allow you to control all system functions. The keypads feature telephone-style digital keys and a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), which shows the nature and location of all occurrences. The keypads feature a built-in sounder that emits alarm sounds during alarm and trouble conditions, and produces warning tones during entry and exit delay periods (if so programmed).
ABOUT THE KEYPADS (cont) Unless stated otherwise, all commands and procedures described herein apply equally to all keypads. Typical displays that appear on both alpha and fixed-word keypads are depicted throughout this manual. AWAY All burglary zones, perimeter, are armed. interior and STAY Perimeter burglary zones, such as windows and doors, are armed. INSTANT Perimeter burglary zones are armed and Entry Delay is turned off. BYPASS One or more burglary protection zones have been bypassed.

IMPORTANT! When entering codes and commands, sequential key depressions must be made within 2 seconds of one another.
SECURITY CODES General At the time of installation, your installer programmed a personal 4-digit Master code, known only to you. This code is used to perform most system functions, including arming and disarming of the system. As an additional safety feature, up to 4 temporary User codes can be assigned for use by those not having a need to know the Master code. Note that the Master code remains in effect even when other User codes are assigned.
SECURITY CODES (cont) Duress Code This feature is intended for use when you are forced to disarm or arm the system under threat. When used, the system will act normally, but can silently notify the central station of your situation, if that service has been provided. The Duress code is entered in the same manner as other codes, and is defined as User No. 8. IMPORTANT: This code is useful only when connected to a central station.
ENTRY / EXIT DELAYS General Information Your system has preset time delays, known as Exit Delay and Entry Delay. When you arm your system, Exit Delay gives you time to leave through the entry/exit door without setting off an alarm. Entry Delay gives you time to disarm the system when you re-enter through the entry/exit door. The system must be disarmed, however, before the entry delay period ends, or an alarm will occur.
CHECKING FOR OPEN ZONES Using the [✴] READY Key Before arming your system, all protected doors, windows, and other protection zones not on the exit route must be closed or bypassed (see BYPASSING PROTECTION ZONES section). If zones are open, the keypad will display a "NOT READY" message, and if your keypad has a READY indicator light, it will not be lit. The READY [✴] key can be used to display all faulted zones, making it easier for you to secure any open zone.
BYPASSING PROTECTION ZONES Using the BYPASS 6 Key LIMITATION: The system will not allow fire zones to be bypassed. Use this key when you want to arm your system with one or more zones intentionally unprotected. The system must be disarmed first. 1. Enter your security code and press the BYPASS key. 2. Enter the zone number(s) for the zone(s) to be bypassed (e.g., 06, 10, 13, etc.). Single-digit zone numbers must be preceded by a zero (e.g., 05, 06). 3.

Enter your security code and press the MAXIMUM (MAX) key. 2. The keypad will beep twice and display the armed “MAXIMUM” message.
DISARMING THE SYSTEM AND SILENCING ALARMS Using the 1 OFF Key The OFF key is used to disarm the system and to silence alarm and trouble sounds. To Disarm the System: Enter your security code and press the OFF key. The "READY" message will be displayed, and the keypad will emit a single tone to confirm that the system is disarmed. To Silence a Burglary Alarm: IMPORTANT: If you return and the main burglary sounder is on, DO NOT ENTER, but CONTACT THE POLICE from a nearby safe location.
DISARMING THE SYSTEM AND SILENCING ALARMS (cont) A FIRE alarm is an interrupted/pulsed sound. A BURGLARY alarm is a continuous/steady sound.
CHIME MODE Using the 9 CHIME Key This feature can be used only while the burglary system is disarmed. By using CHIME mode, your system can be set to alert you to the opening of a door or window while it is disarmed. When Chime mode is activated, three tones will sound at the keypad whenever a door or window is opened. Pressing the READY key will display the open protection points. To turn Chime mode on, enter the security code and press the CHIME key. The “CHIME” message will appear.
PANIC KEYS For Manually Activating Silent and/or Audible Alarms Using the Panic Keys Your system may have been programmed to use special keys or pairs of keys to manually activate emergency (panic) functions. The functions that might be programmed are: Silent Emergency, Audible Emergency, Personal Emergency, and Fire. A silent emergency sends a silent alarm signal to the central station*, but there is no audible alarm or visual display.

PROTECTION ZONE LIST One or more sensing devices will have been assigned by the installer of your alarm system to each of the various protection zones in your system (although not every zone number can be used). For example, the sensing device on your entry/exit door may have been assigned to zone 01, sensing devices on windows in the master bedroom assigned to zone 02, and so on. Zone numbers 07, 95, and 96 represent keypad "Panic" alarm functions assigned by the installer (see page 25).
Telephone Operation Problems In the Event of Telephone Operational Problems In the event of telephone operational problems, disconnect the control by removing the plug from the telephone wall jack. We recommend that your certified installer demonstrate disconnecting the phones on installation of the system. Do not disconnect the phone connection inside the control/communicator. Doing so will result in the loss of your phone lines.
