Access Codes Access Codes are used to arm and disarm the system. There are 33 access codes available: one Master Code and 32 access codes. Only the Master Code can be used to program additional security codes and to change other system features as well as to arm and disarm the security system. The Master Code will be supplied to you by your installer. All keypad entries are made by pressing one key at a time.
Alternate Arming Methods Away Arming Arming the system in the Away mode will have all interior zones and perimeter zones active. If motion is detected in the interior zones, or if one of the perimeter zones is violated, the alarm sequence will begin. To arm in the Away mode, enter your access code and exit the premises through a designated Exit/Entry door. The system will recognize that occupants have left the premises. Once the exit delay expires, the system will be fully armed.
Disarming the System Disarming from an LED Keypad: Enter the premises through a designated Exit/Entry door; entering by any other door will sound an immediate alarm. As soon as the Exit/Entry door is opened, the keypad will beep to indicate that the system should be disarmed. Go to the keypad and enter your access code. If an error is made entering the code, press the [#] key and enter your code again. As soon as the correct code is entered, the Armed light will go out and the keypad will stop beeping.
If An Alarm Sounds Fire Alarm If your system has been installed with fire detectors and the alarm sounds in a pulsing mode, follow your emergency evacuation plan immediately (see “Fire Escape Planning” on page 15). Intrusion Alarm If an intrusion alarm sounds, indicated by a continuous bell or siren, the alarm may be silenced by entering your access code. If the alarm was unintentional, call local authorities immediately to avoid an unnecessary response.

Zone Bypassing The zone bypassing function is used when access is needed to part of the protected area while the system is armed. Zones which are temporarily out of service due to damaged wiring or contacts may be bypassed to allow system arming until repairs can be made. Bypassed zones will not cause an alarm. Zones cannot be bypassed once the system is armed. Bypassed zones are automatically cancelled each time the system is disarmed and must be reapplied before the next arming.
Viewing Trouble Conditions The control panel continuously monitors a number of possible trouble conditions. If one of these trouble conditions occur, the keypad will beep twice every 10 seconds until you press any key on the keypad. Troubles can only be viewed when the system is in the disarmed state. If a trouble occurs while the system is armed, enter your access code to disarm the system, then follow the procedure outlined below to determine the specific trouble.
Setting the System Date and Time To set the system time, enter [✱] [6] followed by the Master Code. Press [1]. The keypad will now accept 10 consecutive digits: • Enter the Time in Hours and Minutes using the 24 Hour format (00:00 to 23:59). • Enter the Date in Months, Days and Years (MM DD YY). NOTE: If you have an LCD keypad, your installer may have programmed your system to display the time and date while the keypad is idle.
Door Chime Feature The door chime feature is used, while the panel is disarmed, to provide a tone from the keypad each time a door or window is opened or closed. The doors and windows which will provide this indication are programmed by your installer. To activate the door chime from an LED Keypad: Enter [✱][4] to turn the door chime feature ON and OFF. When the command is entered, the keypad buzzer will beep 3 times if the door chime feature is enabled and will sound one long beep if it is disabled.

• Each person should know of a predetermined assembly point where everyone can be accounted for i.e.: across the street or at a neighbour's house. Once everyone is out of the building, call the Fire Department. • A good plan emphasizes quick escape. Do not investigate or attempt to fight the fire, and do not gather belongings or pets as this wastes valuable time. Once outside, do not re-enter the house. Wait for the fire department.
