About the Master Keypad

General
IMPORTANT: If the keypad beeps rapidly upon entering the premises, an alarm has occurred during your absence and an intruder may still be on the premises. LEAVE IMMEDIATELY and CONTACT THE POLICE from a nearby safe location. The keypad allows you to control all system functions. The keypad features telephone-style keys and a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), which shows the nature and location of all occurrences.

Checking System Status
Before arming your system, all protected doors, windows, and other protection zones must be closed or bypassed (see the BYPASSING PROTECTION section). Pressing the STATUS key will announce all zones that are faulted, as well as any other abnormal system condition, making it easier for you to secure any open zones. READY LIGHT: The green READY indicator on the keypad will be lit if the system is ready to be armed. If blinking, the system is not ready.

Press the STATUS Key

Press the STATUS key once to announce the general status of the system. Depending on the current state of the system, the following phrases may be heard: disarmed, ready to arm [message] [check system] disarmed, [not ready to arm], [message] armed [away] [stay] [instant] [check system] [message] NOTE: Phrases in brackets are variable, and are announced only if appropriate in the current state of the system Press the STATUS key twice to announce specific system status. Depending on the current state of the system, the following phrases may be heard: fire alarm [zone voice descriptors] alarm [zone voice descriptors] fire fault [zone voice descriptors] fault [zone voice descriptors] low battery [zone voice descriptor] system low battery check system AC loss zones bypassed chime (second press must be within 5 seconds of first press) VOLUME LEVEL: The volume level of system announcements can be increased or decreased. Refer to the MESSAGE RECORDING/ PLAYBACK section for the procedure.

Entry Delay

Entry Delays give you time to disarm the system when you re-enter through the designated entrance door. You must disarm the system before the entry delay period ends, or an alarm will occur. The keypad beeps during the entry delay period, reminding you to disarm the system. There are two entry delays (if programmed). The first is for your primary entrance and the second can be used for a secondary entrance, where a longer delay is required to walk to the keypad to disarm the system. You can also arm the system with no entry delay at all by using the NO DELAY key when arming. This can provide greater security while on the premises or while away for extended periods of time. See ARMING THE SYSTEM section for procedure. See your installer for delay times programmed for your system. Exit Delay: Entry Delay 1: Entry Delay 2: 00-99 seconds 00-99 seconds 00-99 seconds

Disarming the System

Use the OFF key to disarm the system and to silence alarm and trouble sounds. See the SUMMARY OF AUDIBLE NOTIFICATION section for information, which will help you to distinguish between fire and burglary alarm sounds. IMPORTANT: If you return and the main burglary sounder is on, DO NOT enter the premises, but call 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 entering. This indicates that an alarm has occurred during your absence and an intruder may still be on the premises. LEAVE IMMEDIATELY and CONTACT THE POLICE from a nearby safe location. To disarm the system and silence burglary alarms:

Your user code

The READY light will light (if no alarms have occurred while armed) and the keypad will beep once to confirm that the system is disarmed.

Memory of Alarm

If an alarm occurs, the keypad displays the zone number (s) that caused the alarm and the type of alarm (e.g., FIRE ALARM ). These messages remain displayed until cleared by a user. To clear the display, note the zone number displayed and enter an OFF sequence (enter your security code and press the OFF key). If the READY light is blinking, go to the displayed zone and correct the fault (close windows, etc.). If the fault cannot be corrected, notify your alarm company.
Bypassing Protection Zones

Chime Mode

Your system can be set to alert you to the opening of a door or window, while it is disarmed, by using CHIME mode. When activated, three beeps will sound at the keypad whenever a protected perimeter door is opened and the zone voice descriptor will be announced. Pressing the STATUS key will display the open protection points. Note that the Chime mode can be turned on only when the system is disarmed. To turn Chime mode on or off: FUNCTION + CHIME The CHIME message displays while Chime mode is on, and disappears from the display when Chime mode is off.

Paging Feature

Automatic Paging

If the Paging feature has been programmed for your system, your pager will respond to certain conditions as they occur in your system by displaying a message that indicates the type of condition that has occurred. The message appears in a 7-digit format explained below. The system can also be programmed to send up to 16 additional digits that will appear in front of the 7-digit message. These 16 digits may consist of a PIN number or special digits needed by the pager, account number, pauses, or any other special characters you may choose (for example, you may want to use a special character code to distinguish between security system messages and usual pager messages). See your installer if these additional characters are desired.

Code Format

The Pager Code takes the following form: (AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA) EEE-00NN AAA = Optional 16 digits, programmed by your installer. EEE = 3-digit number describing the event that has occurred, as follows: 911 = Alarm (00NN following indicates the zone that caused the alarm) 101 = Open, system disarmed (00NN following indicates user number) 102 = Close, system armed (00NN following indicates user number) 811 = Trouble (00NN following indicates the zone that caused the trouble) 00NN = First two digits are always 00, followed by 2-digit user or zone number, depending on the type of event that occurred. If NN = 00, it can mean an AC loss has occurred, the system battery is low, or a 5827 wireless keypad battery is low. The Master Keypad will indicate the specific condition. Examples: Pager displays: 9110004 This indicates your system is reporting an alarm (911) due to a fault on zone 4 (0004). Pager displays: 1010005 This indicates that your system is reporting an open/disarm (101) by user 5 (0005).

For example, to bypass Zones 10 and 11 and arm AWAY with NO DELAY, enter the following string:

Emergency Evacuation

Establish and regularly practice a plan of escape in the event of fire. The following steps are recommended by the National Fire Protection Association: 1. 2. Position your detector or your interior and/or exterior sounders so that they can be heard by all occupants. Determine two means of escape from each room. One path of escape should lead to the door that permits normal exit from the building. The other should be an alternative escape, such as a window, should your path to that door be unpassable. Station an escape ladder at such windows if there is a long drop to the ground. Sketch a floor plan of the building. Show windows, doors, stairs and rooftops that can be used to escape. Indicate escape routes for each room. Keep these routes free from obstruction and post copies of the escape routes in every room. Assure that all bedroom doors are shut while you are asleep. This will prevent deadly smoke from entering while you escape. Try the door. If the door is hot, check your alternate escape route. If the door is cool, open it cautiously. Be prepared to slam the door if smoke or heat rushes in. When smoke is present, crawl on the ground. Do not walk upright, since smoke rises and may overcome you. Clearer air is near the floor. Escape quickly; don't panic. Establish a place outdoors, away from your house, where everyone can meet and then take steps to contact the authorities and account for those missing. Choose someone to assure that nobody returns to the house many die going back.

For additional security, users other than you who do not need to know your code can be assigned different security codes. These secondary users are identified by "user numbers" when their codes are assigned. You can assign up to 6 user codes (2-digit user numbers 03-08). Note that the master (primary) user of the system is the only one who can assign codes to secondary users, and is designated user no. 02; user no. 01 is the installers code. All codes can be used interchangeably when performing system functions (a system armed with one user's code can be disarmed by another user's code), with the exception of the Babysitter Code described below. Babysitter Code (User 07): This code can be used to arm the system, but cannot disarm the system unless the system was armed with this code. This code is typically assigned to someone (such as a babysitter) who needs to arm/disarm the system only at certain times. The Babysitter Code is assigned to User 07. Duress Code (User 08): This feature is intended for use when you are forced to disarm or arm the system under threat. When used, the system will act normally, but can silently notify the alarm monitoring company of your situation, if that service has been provided. Duress Code is assigned to User 08. The Duress Code is useful only when the system is connected to an alarm monitoring company.

To Add/Delete a User or Change a User's Code
Changing the Master User Code Follow the procedure for changing a user's code, but enter User No. 02 and enter the new code twice. 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. Add a user code: Master User Code Delete a user code: Master User Code Wait (about 3 seconds) until the keypad beeps once before pressing any other key. The code is automatically deleted. + CODE Key + user number (03-08) + CODE Key + user number (03-08) + users code
Testing the System (to be conducted weekly)

Entering Test Mode

The TEST key puts your system into the Test mode, which allows each protection point to be checked for proper operation. The keypad sounds a single beep every 45 seconds as a reminder that the system is in the Test mode. NOTE: An alarm message will not be sent to your alarm monitoring company during the following tests. Disarm the system and close all protected windows, doors, etc. The READY message should be displayed and the green READY indicator (if present on the keypad) should also be lit. Enter the security code then press TEST WATCH. All LCD segments will light for 3 seconds. LISTEN. The external sounder should sound for 2 seconds and then turn off. If the sounder does not sound, notify your service company. FAULT ZONES. Open each protected door and window in turn and listen for three beeps from the keypad. Identification of each faulted protection point should appear on the display. The display will clear when the door or window is closed. 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, and its voice descriptor will be announced (if programmed). 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. The identification of each detector should appear on the display when each is activated. If a problem is experienced with any protection point (no confirming sounds, no display), notify your service company. When all protection points have been checked and are intact (closed), there should be no zone identification numbers displayed on the keypad.

Exit Test Mode

When testing is completed, exit the TEST mode by entering:

User Code + OFF

NOTES: (1) If the Test mode is inadvertently left active, it automatically turns off after 4 hours. (2) Macros cannot be run from the Test Mode.

Trouble Messages

Typical Trouble Condition Displays
To silence the beeping sound for fault conditions, press any key. Indicates that a problem exists with the zone(s) displayed, accompanied by rapid beeping. First, determine if the zone(s) displayed are intact and make them so if they are not. If the zone uses a wireless detector, check that changes in the room (moving furniture, televisions, etc.) are not blocking wireless signals from the detector. If the problem has been corrected, the zone descriptor(s) and FAULT should disappear from the display. If not, key an OFF sequence (security code plus OFF) to clear the display. A fault condition can also indicate a wiring problem. If the FAULT display persists, notify your service company. Note that the system will not allow arming if a fault condition exists. To arm the system with a fault condition present, you must first bypass the zone(s) having the fault condition. Indicates that a failure has occurred in the telephone communication portion of your system FC or a problem with the phone line existed when dialing was attempted. Indicates that the control is on-line with the central station's remote computer. The control CC will not operate while on-line. Wait a few minutes. The display should disappear. If this remains displayed for more than 1 minute, the system is disabled. dI Indicates a cancelled alarm. See Entry/ CA Exit Delay section. Indicates an exit alarm. See Entry/ EA Exit Delay section. Indicates that the system has detected an RF jam condition or excessive interference. If the 90 condition persists, notify your service company. Accompanied by a once-per 45 seconds beeping at the keypad, indicates a low system LOW BAT (no zone no.) battery condition exists. Refer to the procedure on the next page to replace the system battery. Accompanied by a once-per-45 seconds beeping at the keypad, indicates a low battery LOW BAT (with zone no.) condition exists in the wireless transmitter displayed. Accompanied by a once-per-45 seconds beeping at the keypad, indicates a low battery LOW BAT (with zone 00) condition exists in a wireless keypad. Notify your service company. FAULT
Treat the components of your security system as you would any other electrical equipment. Do not slam sensor-protected doors or windows. Keep dust from accumulating on the keypad and all protective sensors, particularly on motion sensors and smoke detectors. The keypad and sensors should be cleaned carefully with a dry soft cloth. Do not spray water or any other fluid on the units.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PROPER PROTECTION
The Following Recommendations for the Location of Fire and Burglary Detection Devices Help Provide Proper Coverage for the Protected Premises. Recommendations for Smoke and Heat Detectors With regard to the number and placement of smoke/heat detectors, we subscribe to the recommendations contained in the National Fire Protection Association's (NFPA) Standard #72 noted below.
Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection equipment in all rooms and areas of the household as follows: For minimum protection a smoke detector should be installed outside of each separate sleeping area, and on each additional floor of a multi-floor family living unit, including basements. The installation of smoke detectors in kitchens, attics (finished or unfinished), or in garages is not normally recommended. For additional protection the NFPA recommends that you install heat or smoke detectors in the living room, dining room, bedroom(s), kitchen, hallway(s), attic, furnace room, utility and storage rooms, basements and attached garages.
In addition, we recommend the following:
Install a smoke detector inside every bedroom where a smoker sleeps. Install a smoke detector inside every bedroom where someone sleeps with the door partly or completely closed. Smoke could be blocked by the closed door. Also, an alarm in the hallway outside may not wake up the sleeper if the door is closed. Install a smoke detector inside bedrooms where electrical appliances (such as portable heaters, air conditioners or humidifiers) are used. Install a smoke detector at both ends of a hallway if the hallway is more than 40 feet (12 meters) long. Install smoke detectors in any room where an alarm control is located, or in any room where alarm control connections to an AC source or phone lines are made. If detectors are not so located, a fire within the room could prevent the control from reporting a fire or an intrusion.

Recommendations For Proper Intrusion Protection
For proper intrusion coverage, sensors should be located at every possible point of entry to a home or premises. This would include any skylights that may be present, and the upper windows in a multi-level building.
In addition, we recommend that radio backup be used in a security system. This will ensure that alarm signals can be
sent to the alarm monitoring station in the event that the telephone lines are out of order (alarm signals are normally sent over the phone lines, if connected to an alarm monitoring station).

If 0 is entered, user can define a macro function for the AUX key. See user manual for description of the use of this key. If 1 is entered, you must also select an option in field 49. The options are 6-9 for the pager or 10-13 for the follow me system announcement. The actual pager message is 999-9999. Note that the hyphen may not be displayed, depending on the pager service. The manual follow me system announcement is a repeatable System, System. Note: A macro cannot be run from the Test mode. If entered, these digits will appear in front of the 7-digit pager message sent by the control (either upon a system event or upon pressing the AUX key [if programmed for paging]), and during latch key report (if enabled during scheduling). These digits can consist of a PIN number, account number, pauses or special digits needed by the pager (these types of characters are not displayed), or any other characters the user chooses that will be displayed (eg., using a character code to distinguish between control panel messages and other pager messages). You do not need to fill all 16 digits. Press [] + next field number to exit the field. To clear the field, press 88. See field 87 to select the AUX key Paging feature. See field 49, which must have an option 6-9 selected to enable paging messages, for description of the pager message. If an Event Logging selection is made in field 90, a message can be sent to the central station receiver when the log is 80% full. If the log becomes full, a new message will overwrite the oldest message in the log. Note: All control and readout from the log, aside from the selection made by the installer in field 90, is accomplished via the downloader. Example: To select Alarm/Alarm Restore and Open/Close, enter 9 (1 + 8); to select all events, enter #15. Default 3 = alarm/alarm restore (1) plus trouble/trouble restore (2). The system has the ability to record various events in a history log (84event capacity). The types of events to be logged can be selected as indicated. At any time, the downloader operator can then upload the log and view or print out all or selected categories of the log. The log can also be cleared by the download operator. The display/printout at the central station will show the date, time, event, and description of the occurrences. Note: System messages are logged when any non-zero selection is made.

Loop number or Loop and Serial number (if using RF Learning)
This prompt can be used to enroll loop number and serial number via RF transmission or the loop number can be enrolled manually. If using the RF Learning Mode, there is no need to manually enter a loop number. Proceed directly to RF Learning Notes: (1) BR type devices cannot be enrolled by using UR or RF type. Likewise, UR or RF type devices cannot be enrolled by using a BR type device. There is a 52-second time-out for RF enrolling. At the end of the time-out, the system returns to the INPUT TYPE prompt (d). If enrolled, loop number and L are displayed.
RF Learning - Two (2) transmissions (2 key depressions) at least 5 seconds apart will be required for BR type devices (device type 5). Two beeps will sound after the second transmission, confirming that the loop number and serial number have been learned. For all other device types, four (4) transmissions are required (fault, restore and fault, restore). A single beep will sound after the second transmission confirming that the loop and serial number have been captured. Following the fourth transmission the system will confirm that the loop number and serial number have been learned and announce the Voice Descriptor for the zone, if it is programmed, followed by two beeps. Press [] to continue. Manual Entry - Enter the desired loop number and press [] to continue (see the transmitters Installation Instructions for specific loop designations). Note: The loop number can be changed even if the zone has already been entered. Care should be taken when using this feature as it has the capability to make zones inoperable by creating a mismatch of a working serial number/loop number combination. This should be re-confirmed if the loop number is changed. L indicates that the zones serial number has already been enrolled.

This function deletes either the serial number or all zone information that is programmed for the zone. If 00 was entered in the zone type, the confirmation of the delete request will delete all information associated with the zone currently being programmed. If 0 was entered in the loop number, the confirmation of the delete request will delete the serial number of to the zone currently being programmed. If L is displayed, the serial number for this transmitter has already been entered. It may, however, still be viewed, confirmed (only if in listen mode), or deleted. View serial number Enter 3. Each digit will be redisplayed, and the keypad will beep once for digits 1-6, and three times for the last digit. Confirm serial number The serial number/loop number combination can be confirmed after one transmission from a BR type device or two transmissions (fault and restore) from a UR or RF type device. If a transmission is received that matches the serial number and loop number entered, the system will confirm the reception by announcing the Voice Descriptor for the zone, if it is programmed, followed by three beeps, and a C will appear on the display indicating the received serial number and loop number have been confirmed. No further transmissions will be received. Delete serial number The serial number can be deleted by entering 9. If L is not displayed, the serial number for this transmitter has not been previously entered. You may enter the serial number manually, copy the previous serial number, return to Prompt (E) or enter the serial number later using the 83 Enhanced Sequential Mode.

WARNING THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS ALARM SYSTEM
While this System is an advanced design security system, it does not offer guaranteed protection against burglary, fire or other emergency. Any alarm system, whether commercial or residential, is subject to compromise or failure to warn for a variety of reasons. For example:
Intrusion detectors (e.g., passive infrared detectors), smoke detectors, and many other sensing devices will not work without power. Battery-operated devices will not work without batteries, with dead batteries, or if the batteries are not put in properly. Devices powered solely by AC will not work if their AC power supply is cut off for any reason, however briefly. Signals sent by wireless transmitters may be blocked or reflected by metal before they reach the alarm receiver. Even if the signal path has been recently checked during a weekly test, blockage can occur if a metal object is moved into the path. A user may not be able to reach a panic or emergency button quickly enough. While smoke detectors have played a key role in reducing residential fire deaths in the United States, they may not activate or provide early warning for a variety of reasons in as many as 35% of all fires, according to data published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Some of the reasons smoke detectors used in conjunction with this System may not work are as follows. Smoke detectors may have been improperly installed and positioned. Smoke detectors may not sense fires that start where smoke cannot reach the detectors, such as in chimneys, in walls, or roofs, or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors also may not sense a fire on another level of a residence or building. A second floor detector, for example, may not sense a first floor or basement fire. Finally, smoke detectors have sensing limitations. No smoke detector can sense every kind of fire every time. In general, detectors may not always warn about fires caused by carelessness and safety hazards like smoking in bed, violent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing with matches, or arson. Depending on the nature of the fire and/or location of the smoke detectors, the detector, even if it operates as anticipated, may not provide sufficient warning to allow all occupants to escape in time to prevent injury or death. Passive Infrared Motion Detectors can only detect intrusion within the designed ranges as diagrammed in their installation manual. Passive Infrared Detectors do not provide volumetric area protection. They do create multiple beams of protection, and intrusion can only be detected in unobstructed areas covered by those beams. They cannot detect motion or intrusion that takes place behind walls, ceilings, floors, closed doors, glass partitions, glass doors, or windows. Mechanical tampering, masking, painting or spraying of any material on the mirrors, windows or any part of the optical system can reduce their detection ability. Passive Infrared Detectors sense changes in temperature; however, as the ambient temperature of the protected area approaches the temperature range of 90 to 105F (32 to 40C), the detection performance can decrease. Alarm warning devices such as sirens, bells or horns may not alert people or wake up sleepers if they are located on the other side of closed or partly open doors. If warning devices are located on a different level of the residence from the bedrooms, then they are less likely to waken or alert people inside the bedrooms. Even persons who are awake may not hear the warning if the alarm is muffled by noise from a stereo, radio, air conditioner or other appliance, or by passing traffic. Finally, alarm warning devices, however loud, may not warn hearing-impaired people. Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premises to a central monitoring station may be out of service or temporarily out of service. Telephone lines are also subject to compromise by sophisticated intruders. Even if the system responds to the emergency as intended, however, occupants may have insufficient time to protect themselves from the emergency situation. In the case of a monitored alarm system, authorities may not respond appropriately. This equipment, like other electrical devices, is subject to component failure. Even though this equipment is designed to last as long as 20 years, the electronic components could fail at any time. The most common cause of an alarm system not functioning when an intrusion or fire occurs is inadequate maintenance. This alarm system should be tested weekly to make sure all sensors and transmitters are working properly. The security keypad (and remote keypad) should be tested as well. Wireless transmitters (used in some systems) are designed to provide long battery life under normal operating conditions. Longevity of batteries may be as much as 4 to 7 years, depending on the environment, usage, and the specific wireless device being used. External factors such as humidity, high or low temperatures, as well as large swings in temperature, may all reduce the actual battery life in a given installation. This wireless system, however, can identify a true low battery situation, thus allowing time to arrange a change of battery to maintain protection for that given point within the system. Installing an alarm system may make the owner eligible for a lower insurance rate, but an alarm system is not a substitute for insurance. Homeowners, property owners and renters should continue to act prudently in protecting themselves and continue to insure their lives and property. We continue to develop new and improved protection devices. Users of alarm systems owe it to themselves and their loved ones to learn about these developments.
