SYSTEM OVERVIEW General Congratulations on your ownership of an ADT Partitioned Security System. You've made a wise decision in choosing it, for it represents the latest in security protection technology today, and millions of premises are protected by ADT systems. This system offers you three forms of protection: burglary, fire and emergency.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW (Continued) Burglary Protection Your system provides three modes of burglary protection: STAY, AWAY, and INSTANT, and allows you to BYPASS selected zones while leaving the rest of the system armed. You must turn on or "arm" the burglary protection portion of your system before it will sense burglary alarms. The system also provides a CHIME mode, for alerting users to the opening of protected doors and windows while the system is disarmed.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW (Continued) Memory of Alarm When an alarm condition occurs, the touchpad displays the number(s) of the zone(s) that caused the problem, and displays the type of alarm (ex. FIRE, ALARM). It remains displayed until it is cleared by disarming the system (see DISARMING THE SYSTEM section). Phone Access & Voice Response Capability Your system may include a voice module that will permit you to access the system via a Touchtone phone, either on-premises or by call-in when away.
ENTRY/EXIT DELAYS General Information Your system has preset time delays, known 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.
ENTRY/EXIT DELAYS (Continued) Exit Alarms To minimize false alarms sent to the Customer Care Center, your system may have been programmed for this feature. Ask your installer if "Exit Alarm" is active for your system. Exit Alarm Active Whenever you arm the system, the exit delay begins. If an entry/exit door or interior zone is faulted when the exit delay ends (e.g., exit door left open), the system sounds an alarm and starts the entry delay timer.
ABOUT THE TOUCHPADS General Your touchpads allow you to control all system functions. The touchpads feature a telephone style (digital) touchpad and a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) which shows the nature and location of all occurrences. The touchpads also feature a built-in sounder which will sound during alarms and troubles. The touchpads also "beep" during certain system functions, such as during entry/exit delay times, in CHIME mode, and when depressing any of the keys (to acknowledge the key press).
ABOUT THE TOUCHPADS (Continued) English Display Touchpad AWAY: All burglary zones, interior and perimeter, are armed. STAY: Perimeter burglary zones, such as protected windows and doors, are armed. INSTANT: Perimeter burglary zones armed and entry delay is turned off. BYPASS: This appears when one or more burglary protection zones have been bypassed.
FUNCTIONS OF THE TOUCHPADS 1. DISPLAY WINDOW. Custom English Display Touchpads: These 2-line, 32character Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) touchpads display protection point identification, system status, and messages.

CHECKING FOR OPEN ZONES ✱ Using the B efore arming your system, all protected doors, windows and other protection zones READY Key must be closed or bypassed (see BYPASSING PROTECTION ZONES section), otherwise the touchpad will display a "Not Ready" message, and the READY indicator light on your touchpad 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.
ARMING PERIMETER ONLY 3 Using the STAY Key BEFORE ARMING, close all doors and windows (see CHECKING FOR OPEN ZONES ). THE STAY MODE ARMS THE PERIMETER, BUT ALLOWS USE OF THE ENTRY/EXIT DOOR. PERSONS WITHIN THE PREMISES CAN MOVE ABOUT FREELY. † Ask your installer if this feature is programmed in your system. If so, place a check in this box. (With Entry Delay ON) Use this key when staying inside, but expect someone to use an entry/exit door later.
ARMING PERIMETER ONLY Using the 7 INSTANT Key BEFORE ARMING, close all doors and windows (see CHECKING FOR OPEN ZONES ) THE I N S T A N T MODE ARMS THE PERIMETER (INCLUDING ENTRY/EXIT DOOR), WITH NO ENTRY DELAY. PERSONS WITHIN THE PREMISES CAN MOVE ABOUT FREELY † Ask your installer if this feature is programmed in your system. If so, place a check in this box. (With Entry Delay OFF) Use this key when staying inside and do not expect anyone to use an entry/exit door.
ARMING ALL PROTECTION 2 Using the AWAY Key BEFORE ARMING, close all doors and windows (see CHECKING FOR OPEN ZONES ) THE AWAY KEY ARMS THE ENTIRE SYSTEM (INTERIOR AND PERIMETER), BUT ALLOWS USE OF THE ENTRY/EXIT DOOR. (With Entry Delay ON) Use this key when no one will be staying inside. 1. Enter your security code and press the AWAY [2] key. In some systems, pressing the “A” key on the touchpad for 2 seconds will arm the system AWAY (no code is required).
DISARMING AND SILENCING ALARMS 1 Using the OFF Key IMPORTANT: If you return and the main burglary sounder is on, DO NOT ENTER, but CONTACT THE POLICE from a nearby safe location. If you return after an alarm has occurred and the main sounder has shut itself off, the touchpad will beep rapidly upon your entering, indicating that an alarm has occurred during your absence. LEAVE IMMEDIATELY, and CONTACT THE POLICE from a nearby safe location.
BYPASSING PROTECTION ZONES 6 Using the BYPASS Key LIMITATION The system will not allow fire zones to be bypassed. All bypasses are removed when an OFF sequence (security code plus OFF) is performed. TO BYPASS ZONES: • Enter code. • Press BYPASS key. • Enter zone Nos. • Wait for bypassed zones to be displayed. • Arm system as usual. This key is used when you want to arm your system with one or more zones intentionally unprotected. The system must be disarmed first. 1.
BYPASSING PROTECTION ZONES (Continued) Quick Bypass Ask your installer if "Quick Bypass" is active for your system, and if so, check here: If your system supports "Quick Bypass", it allows you to easily bypass all open (faulted) zones without having to enter zone numbers individually. This feature is useful if, for example, you routinely leave certain windows open when arming at night. To use this feature, enter your security code and, within 10 seconds, press the BYPASS [6] key, then stop.
CHIME MODE 9 Using the CHIME Key This feature can be used only while the burglary system is disarmed. Your system can be set to alert you to the opening of a perimeter door or window while it is disarmed by using CHIME mode. When activated, three tones will sound at the touchpad whenever a perimeter door or window is opened. Interior zones will not produce a tone when they are activated. Pressing the READY key will display the open protection points.
PANIC KEYS (FOR MANUALLY ACTIVATING SILENT AND/OR AUDIBLE ALARMS) Using Panic Keys *If connected to the Customer Care Center. Your system may have been programmed to use special keys to manually activate emergency (panic) functions. The emergency functions that can be programmed are: Silent Emergency, Audible Emergency, Personal Emergency, and Fire.
PANIC KEYS (Continued) See your installer and note here any functions programmed for your system. CHECK IF ACTIVE PANIC KEY(S) PLACE A CHECK NEXT TO PROGRAMMED FUNCTION ZONE DISPLAY [A] ___SILENT, ___AUDIBLE, ___PERSONAL, ___FIRE, ___ARM AWAY* 95† [B] ___SILENT, ___AUDIBLE, ___PERSONAL, ___FIRE, ___ARM STAY* 99† [C] ___SILENT, ___AUDIBLE, ___PERSONAL ___FIRE. 96 NOTE: KEY [D] DOES NOT PROVIDE A PANIC FUNCTION (SEE “SINGLE-BUTTON PAGING FEATURE” SECTION BELOW).
USING DEVICE COMMANDS General Information Your system may be set up so that certain lights or other devices can be turned on or off by using the device command from the touchpad. Ask your installer if this has been done in your system. If programmed for your system, some devices may activate automatically upon certain system conditions. In this case, the following commands can be used to override the device activation. See your installer for a full explanation of this feature.
PAGING FEATURE If the paging feature has been programmed, a pager will respond to certain conditions as they occur in your system by displaying a 7-digit system status code that will indicate the type of condition that has occurred. In some cases, the 7digit code may be preceded by 16 digits, which can consist of a PIN number, Subscriber account number, or any additional data that you may wish to have sent to the pager in addition to the 7-digit system status code.
SECURITY CODES General Information As an additional safety feature, other users who do not have a need to know your code can be assigned different security codes. These secondary users are identified by "user numbers," which are selected when assigning a user's security code. You can assign up 14 additional user codes (user numbers 03-16), including the babysitter and duress codes.
SECURITY CODES To Add a User or Change a User's Code Important: Temporary users of the system (e.g., babysitters, cleaning staff) should not be shown how to use any system function they do not need to know, such as bypassing protection zones for example. Sequential key depressions for all steps in a procedure must be made within 2 seconds of one another, or else the entire entry is aborted and must be repeated from its beginning (e.g., perform steps 1, 2, and 3 below with no delay between steps).
TESTING THE SYSTEM (TO BE CONDUCTED WEEKLY) 5 Using the TEST Key The TEST key puts your system into the Test mode, which allows each protection point to be checked for proper operation. The touchpad sounds a single beep every 40 seconds as a reminder that the system is in the Test mode. N o t e : An alarm message will not be sent to your Customer Care Center during the following tests. 1. DISARM THE SYSTEM. Disarm the system and close all protected windows, doors, etc.
TESTING THE SYSTEM (CONTINUED) Walk in front of any interior motion detectors (if used) and listen for three beeps. The identification of the detector should appear on the display when it is activated. The display will clear when no motion is detected. Note that if wireless motion detectors are used, there is a 3-minute delay between activations. This is to conserve battery life. To test all smoke detectors, follow the manufacturer's instructions.
TROUBLE CONDITIONS "Check" and "Battery" Displays * Not all systems use wireless sensors. T he word CHECK on the touchpad's display, accompanied by a "beeping" at the touchpad, indicates a trouble condition in the system. To silence the beeping for these conditions, press any key. 1. A display of "CHECK" and one or more zone numbers indicates that a problem exists with the displayed zone(s) and requires your attention. Determine if the zone(s) displayed are intact and make them so if they are not.
TROUBLE CONDITIONS (Continued) Words or letters in parentheses ( Touchpads. Other Trouble Displays * Any “beeping” that accompanies a trouble display can be stopped by depressing any key on the touchpad or by entering an OFF sequence (code + OFF) [ 1. COMM. FAILURE (or FC) Indicates that a failure has occurred in the telephone communication portion of your system. CALL FOR SERVICE IMMEDIATELY. 2. SYSTEM LO BAT (or BAT with no zone No.) Indicates that a low system battery condition exists.
TROUBLE CONDITIONS (Continued) Other Trouble Displays (Continued) Total Power Failure 7. AC LOSS is displayed (or NO AC) The system is operating on battery power only due to an AC power failure. If only some lights are out on the premises, check circuit breakers and fuses and reset or replace as necessary. If AC power cannot be restored and a “low system battery” message appears (see item 2 on the previous page), CALL FOR SERVICE . 8.
FIRE ALARM SYSTEM (IF INSTALLED) General Your fire alarm system (if installed) is on 24 hours a day, for continuous protection. In the event of an emergency, the strategically located smoke and heat detectors will automatically send signals to your system, triggering a loud, interrupted pulsed sound* from the Touchpad(s). This sound will also be produced by any external sounders. A FIRE message will appear at your Touchpad and remain on until you silence the alarm (see below for silencing fire alarms).
FIRE ALARM SYSTEM (Continued) Manually Initiating a Fire Alarm Panic Key Assigned for FIRE Emergency 1. Should you become aware of a fire emergency before your detectors sense the problem, go to your nearest Touchpad and manually initiate an alarm by pressing the panic key assigned for FIRE emergency for 2 seconds. Check below, and in the PANIC KEYS section. 2. Evacuate all occupants from the premises. 3.

MAINTAINING YOUR SYSTEM Taking Care of Your System The components of your security system are designed to be as maintenance-free as possible. However, to make sure that your system is in reliable working condition. 1. Test your system weekly. 2. Test your system after any alarm occurs (see TESTING THE SYSTEM).
MAINTAINING YOUR SYSTEM (Continued) In addition, a battery-operated smoke detector with a low battery also emits a single "chirp" sound approximately once every 20–30 seconds, identifying itself as the smoke detector with the weak battery. Note: The low battery message comes on as a warning that battery replacement in indicated sensor(s) is due within 30 days. In the meantime, a sensor causing a low battery indication is still fully operational.
