ABOUT THE CONSOLES

General Your consoles allow you to control all system functions. The consoles feature a telephone style (digital) keypad and a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) which shows the nature and location of all occurrences. The consoles feature a built-in sounder which emits alarm sounds during alarm conditions and produces warning tones during entry (and exit, if soprogrammable) delay periods. The sounder also provides acknowledgement tones when keys are pressed, and confirmation tones for successful command entries. There are two basic styles of consoles, A and B, either of which may have been used in your system (see page 7). Although different in appearance, both styles are functionally the same. The keypads on style B consoles are located behind a flip-down cover which can be removed, if desired, There are two basic types of console displays, Alpha and Fixed-Word, either of which may have been used in your system. c Alpha Console Displays feature a 2-line, 32 character alphanumeric Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) which can display the nature and location of all occurrences in friendly English. Fixed-Word Console Displays are functionally similar to the Alpha Consoles, except that their LCD display uses pre-designated (fixed) words to identify the nature and location of occurrences. Words displayed on all FixedWord consoles are the same, except that their location in the display window will vary with various models. Unless stated otherwise, all commands and procedures described herein apply equally to all consoles.

SECURITY CODES
General At the time of installation, your installer programmed a personal four-digit Master code, known only to you and yours. This code is used to perform most system functions, including arming and disarming of the system. As an additional safety feature, temporary user codes can be assigned (see next page) for use by those not having a need to know the Master code. Note that the Master code remains in effect even when other user codes are assigned. 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 central station of your situation, if that service has been provided. The Duress code is the same as vour user code. except that the last digit is increased bv one. For example: If the normal security code is , the Duress security code is 5 1. Important: l This code is useful only when connected to a central station. l User codes that end in 9 (ex. 6349) cannot activate a duress alarm (i.e., 6350 is not a duress alarm code). Quick Arming If your system supports Quick Arming the , key can be pressed in place of # the security code when arming the system. The security code is always required, however, when disarming the system.

Duress Code

SECUR1lY CODES
To Assign, Change, or Delete User Codes 1. Enter your Master code and press the CODE key, 2. Enter single-digit User Number for whom a code is to be assigned, changed, or deleted. 3. If assigning or changing a users code, enter the desired 4-digit code for use by that User Number. The console will beep once. /f deleting a users code, perform steps 1 and 2 and then stop. In a few moments the console will beep once, indicating that the existing code has been deleted. Important: Instruct other users to enter their codes carefully to avoid accidentally entering the Duress code. If desired, other users can be assigned a code ending in 9, to prevent accidental Duress code entry. Temporary users should not be shown how to use any system function they do not need to know (e.g., bypassing protection zones). Be sure user codes do not conflict with any Duress code.

Voice Module

If your system includes a voice module it will permit you to access the system via a Touch-tone phone, either on-premises or by call-in when away. You can: Receive voice messages over the phone regarding system status. Arm and disarm the system and perform most function commands. Complete information regarding the use of this feature is provided in a separate manual: Phone Access Users Guide that accompanies the voice module. To turn off an alarm (with any system), enter: Security Code + [l/OFF] key. Notes:
The CALL-IN TAMPER (Cl) console display and logic described in the guide is not present in your system. The Relay Command Mode described in the guide is not active with your system, but output relay actions may still be controlled if installer-programmed. -11-

ENTRY/EXIT

General Information

DELAYS

Your system has preset time delays, known as exit delay and entry delay. When you arm your system, exit delay gives you time to leave through the entry/exit door without setting off an alarm. Entry delay gives you time to disarm the system when you reenter through the entry/exit door. The system must be disarmed, however, before the entry delay period ends, or an alarm will occur. The console will beep slowly during the entry delay period, reminding you to disarm the system, You can also arm the system with no entry delay at all by using either INSTANT or MAXIMUM arming modes. These modes can provide greater security while you are sleeping or while you are away for extended periods of time. If available for your system, and if so-programmed by your installer, when arming AWAY (see page 18) or MAXIMUM (see page 19), slow beeps will sound from the console during exit delay, turning to fast beeps during the final five seconds of the delay time. -
Exit Delay Sound Alerting
See your installer for your delay times and record them here: Exit Delay: ~] seconds Entry Delay: ~] seconds

CHECKING FOR OPEN ZONES

u READY

Using the Key

Before arming your system, all protected doors, windows and other protection zones must be closed or bypassed (see 13 YPASS//VG PROTECT/ON ZONES section), otherwise the console will display a Not Ready message, and if your console has a READY indicator light, it will not be lit. The READY (~) key can be used to display all faulted zones, making it easier for you to secure any open zone. To display faulted zones, simply press and release the READY (+f) key (do not enter code first), Secure or bypass the zones displayed before arming the system. A Ready message will be displayed when all protection zones have been either closed or bypassed and the consoles READY indicator light (if present) will be lit.

FIRE ALARM SYSTEM

IF INSTALLED General Your fire alarm system (if installed) is on 24 hours a day, for continuous protection. In the event of an emergency, the strategically located smoke and heat detectors will automatically send signals to your system, triggering a loud,
interrupted sound from the Console. An interrupted sound will also be produced by optional exterior sounders. A FIRE message will appear at your Console and
remain on until you silence the alarm.

[n Case Of

Fire Alarm
before your detectors sense 1. Should you become aware of a fire emergency the problem, go to your nearest Console and manually initiate an alarm by pressing the panic key pair assigned as FIRE emergency (if programmed by the installer) as indicated on page 23. 2. Evacuate all occupants from the premises. 3. If flames and/or smoke are present, leave the premises and notify your local Fire Department immediately. 4. If no flames or smoke are apparent, investigate the cause of the alarm. The zone number(s) of the zone(s) in an alarm condition will be displayed at the Console.

STATEMENT
The Canadian Department of Communications label identifies certified equipment. This cetilficafion means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational and safety requirements. The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the users satisfaction. Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. In some cases, the companys inside wiring associated with a single line individual service may be extended by means of certified connector assembly (telephone extension cord). The customel should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations. Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facilit designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made i y the user to this equipment, 0[ equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment. Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are con netted together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas. Caution: User should not attempt to make such connections but should contact the appropriate electric themselves, inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate. The 1nad Numbe r (LN) assigned to each terminal device denotes the percentage of the total load to be connected to a telephone loop which is used by the device, to prevent overloading. The termination on a loop may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the total of the Load Numbers of all the devices does not exceed 100.

SYSTEM

While this system is an advanced design security system, it does not offer guaranteed protection against burglary or 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 examde: q Intruders may gain access through unprotected openings or have the technical sophistication to bypass an alarm sensor or disconnect an alarm warning device. q 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. D 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. Moreover, 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 upon the nature of the fire and/or the locations of the smoke detectors, the detector, even if it operates as arson. Depending anticipated, may not provide sufficient warning to allow all occupants to escape in time to prevent injury or death. q Passive Infrared Motion Detectors can only detect intrusion within the designed ranges as diagramed in their installation maflUal. Passive Infrared Detectors do not provide ~olumetric 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
