\VWHP 2YHUYLHZ &RQWLQXHG Zones • The system sensing devices have been assigned to various “zones,” which are specific areas of protection (e.g., front door, kitchen window, etc.). • Zone numbers are displayed at the keypad when an alarm or trouble condition occurs on a sensor. Arming, Step-Arming and Disarming Burglary Protection • The system must be armed before the burglary protection can sense intrusions. • To arm your system, enter your user code followed by the desired arming key.
6\VWHP 2YHUYLHZ &RQWLQXHG Paging Feature • If programmed, the system can automatically send certain system condition messages to a pager. • The display consists of code numbers that indicate the type of condition that has occurred. Function Keys • The “A”, “B”, “C”, and “D” keys on the keypad can be programmed to perform various functions.
$ERXW 7KH .H\SDGV *HQHUDO ,QIRUPDWLRQ Your keypads allow you to control all system functions. The keypads feature the following: • A telephone style (digital) keypad • Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) which shows the nature and location of all occurrences • Built-in sounder which will sound during alarms and troubles. The sounder also "beeps" during certain system functions and when depressing any of the keys (to acknowledge the key press). • Backlighting of the LCD display windows.
$ERXW 7KH .H\SDGV &RQWLQXHG )L[HG :RUG 'LVSOD\ .H\SDG AWAY: All burglary zones, interior and perimeter, are armed. STAY: Perimeter burglary zones, such as protected windows and doors, are armed. INSTANT: Entry delay is turned off: Lit with STAY = Instant mode Lit with AWAY = Maximum mode BYPASS: This appears when one or more burglary protection zones have been bypassed.

(QWU\ ([LW 'HOD\V Your system has preset time delays, known as exit delay and entry delay. ([LW 'HOD\ Exit delay gives you time to leave through the designated exit door without setting off an alarm. Exit delay begins immediately after arming your system in any arming mode and Alpha Display keypads display the message “You May Exit Now.” When “You may exit now” disappears, the system is fully armed.
(QWU\ ([LW 'HOD\V &RQWLQXHG ([LW $ODUPV Whenever you arm the system, the exit delay begins. If an entry/exit door or interior zone is faulted within two minutes after the end of the exit delay (e.g., exit door left open), the system sounds an alarm and starts the entry delay timer. If you disarm the system before the entry delay ends, the alarm sound stops and the message "CANCELED ALARM" or "CA" is displayed on the keypad, along with a zone number indicating the faulted zone.
&KHFNLQJ )RU 2SHQ =RQHV 8VLQJ WKH >∗@ .H\ Before arming your system, all protected doors, windows and other protection zones must be closed or bypassed, otherwise the keypad will display a "Not Ready" message. 1.

$UPLQJ WKH 6\VWHP $UPLQJ &RPPDQGV Before arming, close all perimeter doors and windows and make sure the Ready to Arm message is displayed.
$UPLQJ WKH 6\VWHP 6LQJOH %XWWRQ $UPLQJ The “A”, “B”, “C”, and/or “D” keys on your keypad may have been programmed for single-button arming. Note that while it will not be necessary to use a security code for arming, a security code must always be used to disarm the system. If Single-Button Arming is programmed: • A function key has been assigned to a specific type of arming: STAY mode, Night-STAY mode, AWAY mode, or STEP-ARMING (see Step-Arming paragraph).
8VLQJ WKH .H\VZLWFK 8VLQJ WKH .H\VZLWFK Your system may be equipped with a keyswitch for use when arming and disarming. Red and green lights on the keyswitch plate indicate the status of your system as follows: Green Light: Lights when the system is disarmed and ready to be armed (no open zones). If the system is disarmed and the green light is off, it indicates the system is not ready (one or more zones are open). Red Light: Lights or flashes when system is armed in AWAY or STAY mode.
'LVDUPLQJ DQG 6LOHQFLQJ $ODUPV 8VLQJ WKH >2))@ NH\ The OFF key is used to disarm the system, silence alarm and trouble sounds, and clear alarm memories. 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 keypad will beep rapidly upon your entering, indicating that an alarm has occurred during your absence.
%\SDVVLQJ 3URWHFWLRQ =RQHV 8VLQJ WKH %<3$66 .H\ Use this key when you want to arm your system with one or more zones intentionally unprotected. Vent Zones: Your system may have certain windows set as “vent” zones, which are automatically bypassed if left open when arming the system (you do not need to manually bypass them). However, if a vent zone window is closed after arming, it becomes protected and will cause an alarm if opened again while the system is armed.
%\SDVVLQJ 3URWHFWLRQ =RQHV 4XLFN %\SDVV If programmed, "Quick Bypass" 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. + 6 + [#] 1.
