Access Codes Access codes are used to arm and disarm the system. There are 37 access codes available: 1 master code, 32 regular access codes, 2 duress codes and 2 partition master codes. Ask your installer for more information on using the duress and partition master 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.
Arming Using Push to Set or Final Door Set Zones If a Push to Set or Final Door Set Zone is used, an infinite exit delay will be initiated when the system is armed. In order to complete the arming sequence, the push to set or final door set zone must be violated and restored. When arming, once the Exit Delay has expired, the system will allow 5 seconds for detectors to settle before the system is armed. If any zone is violated when the 5 second settle time expires, the system will cancel arming.
Quick Exit When the Quick Exit feature is enabled, pressing [✱][0] while the system is armed will provide a two minute window for you to exit the premises. During this time, you may only open and close the designated Entry/Exit door once. Once the door is closed, the panel will end the two minute quick exit delay. If the door is opened again, or if the door is not closed after two minutes, or if another zone is opened, the panel will begin the entry delay.
NOTE: If you return and find that an alarm has occurred while you were away, it is possible that an intruder may still be on the premises. Go to a neighbour's house, and call the local police to investigate. The alarm memory is cleared each time the panel is armed so that any alarms showing are alarms that occurred only during the last armed period.

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. NOTE: A TROUBLE condition reduces the security your system is designed to provide. Call your installing company for service. To view troubles from an LED Keypad: A trouble will be indicated by the Trouble light which will remain ON until the trouble condition is cleared.
Setting the System Date and Time To set the system time, enter [Q] [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 [Q][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.
Fire Alarm Operation Alarm On a fire alarm, the bell or siren will pulse ON and OFF. The transmission of the alarm to the central station is delayed for 30 seconds. If the alarm is not cleared within the 30 second delay, it will then be transmitted to the central station. Silence To silence the bell or siren, press the [#] key. If the alarm is silenced and the smoke detector is not reset, the alarm will resound after 90 seconds.
Fire Escape Planning There is often very little time between the detection of a fire and the time it becomes deadly. It is thus very important that a family escape plan be developed and rehearsed. 1. Every family member should participate in developing the escape plan. 2. Study the possible escape routes from each location within the house. Since many fires occur at night, special attention should be given to the escape routes from sleeping quarters. 3.
