UL Listed Commercial and Residential Installations
The installation requirements listed below must be met for the fol-
lowing grades of service.
Grade A Local
The installation must have a bell UL Listed for mecantile local alarms
(AMSECO MBL10B) with Model AB-12 bell housing.
The digital communicator must be enabled.
The control panel must be in the PC4004C Attack Resistant Enclo-

All Commercial Installations
• The entry delay must not exceed 60 seconds
• The exit delay must not exceed 60 seconds.
• The minimum bell cutoff time is 15 minutes.
Residential Installations
• The entry delay must not exceed 45 seconds
• The exit delay must not exceed 60 seconds.
• The minimum bell cutoff time is 4 minutes.
Programming
The notes in the programming sections describing the system config-
urations for UL Listed installations must be implemented.
Control of the Protected Premises
In order to have a UL Certificated system the protected area is to be
under the responsibility of one ownership and management (i.e. one
business under one name). This may be a group of buildings
attached or unattached with different addresses but under the
responsibility of someone having mutual interest. The person of
mutual interest is not the alarm installing company.
Bell Location
The alarm sounding device (bell) must be located where it can be
heard by the person or persons responsible for maintaining the secu-
rity system during the daily arming cycle.
Protection of the Control Unit
The local control and the local power supply must be protected by
one of the following ways:
• The control unit and audible alarm device must be in a protected area
which is armed 24 hours a day.
• Each partition shall arm the area protecting the control unit and the audi-
ble alarm device power supply. This may require duplicate protection
armed by each partition. Access to this protected area, without causing an
alarm, will require that all partitions be disarmed.
In all cases described above, the protected area for the control unit
must be programmed as not bypassable.
Casual Users
The installer should caution the user(s) to not give system informa-
tion to casual users (e.g. codes, bypass methods, etc. to baby-sitters or
service people). Only the One-Time Use codes should be given to
casual users.
User Information
The installer should advise the users and note in the user instruction
manual:
• Service organization name and telephone number
• The programmed exit time
• The programmed entry time

the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference
by one or more of the following measures:
• Re-orient the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for help.

Important Information
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC Rules. On the side of this equip-
ment is a label that contains, among other information, the FCC registration num-
ber of this equipment.
NOTIFICATION TO TELEPHONE COMPANY The customer shall notify the telephone
company of the particular line to which the connection will be made, and provide
the FCC registration number and the ringer equivalence of the protective circuit.
FCC Registration Number: F53CAN-30678-AL-E
Ringer Equivalence Number: 0.1B
USOC Jack: RJ-31X
TELEPHONE CONNECTION REQUIREMENTS Except for the telephone company
provided ringers, all connections to the telephone network shall be made through
standard plugs and telephone company provided jacks, or equivalent, in such a
manner as to allow for easy, immediate disconnection of the terminal equipment.
Standard jacks shall be so arranged that, if the plug connected thereto is with-
drawn, no interference to the operation of the equipment at the customer’s pre-
mises which remains connected to the telephone network shall occur by reason of
such withdrawal.
INCIDENCE OF HARM Should terminal equipment or protective circuitry cause
harm to the telephone network, the telephone company shall, where practicable,
notify the customer that temporary disconnection of service may be required; how-
ever, where prior notice is not practicable, the telephone company may temporarily
discontinue service if such action is deemed reasonable in the circumstances. In the
case of such temporary discontinuance, the telephone company shall promptly
notify the customer and will be given the opportunity to correct the situation.
ADDITIONAL TELEPHONE COMPANY INFORMATION The security control panel
must be properly connected to the telephone line with a USOC RJ-31X telephone
jack.
The FCC prohibits customer-provided terminal equipment be connected to party
lines or to be used in conjunction with coin telephone service. Interconnect rules
may vary from state to state.
CHANGES IN TELEPHONE COMPANY EQUIPMENT OR FACILITIES The telephone
company may make changes in its communications facilities, equipment, opera-
tions or procedures, where such actions are reasonably required and proper in its
business. Should any such changes render the customer’s terminal equipment
incompatible with the telephone company facilities the customer shall be given
adequate notice to the effect modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.
RINGER EQUIVALENCE NUMBER (REN) The REN is useful to determine the quan-
tity of devices that you may connect to your telephone line and still have all of
those devices ring when your telephone number is called. In most, but not all areas,
the sum of the RENs of all devices connected to one line should not exceed five
(5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that you may connect to your line, you
may want to contact your local telephone company.
EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE FACILITY If you experience trouble with this tele-
phone equipment, please contact the facility indicated below for information on
obtaining service or repairs. The telephone company may ask that you disconnect
this equipment from the network until the problem has been corrected or until you
are sure that the equipment is not malfunctioning.
