System Overview  
General  
Your Honeywell security system consists of a main control panel, at least one  
keypad, and various sensors strategically positioned throughout the  
premises. The system offers you three forms of protection: burglary, fire and  
emergency. The keypad provides full control of system operation.  
The system uses microcomputer technology to monitor all protection zones  
and system status and provides appropriate information for display on the  
keypad(s) used with the system, and initiates appropriate alarms. Your  
system may also have been programmed to automatically transmit alarm or  
status messages over the phone lines to a central alarm monitoring station.  
This manual is designed to help you become comfortable operating  
your system. Each function is explained in step-by-step detail. We  
recommend you read the SYSTEM OVERVIEW section to become  
familiar with the terminology and the basic features of the system.  
A Partitioned System  
Simply stated, a partitioned system shares one physical alarm system among  
different users, each with their own requirements. For the most part, you as  
a user need not know about other users and their structure in the system,  
but from time to time, you may see display messages that indicate the system  
is in use by another user. Do not be concerned, this is normal. Refer to the  
ACCESSING OTHER PARTITIONS section for additional information.  
Zones  
Your system’s sensing devices have been assigned to various "zones." For  
example, the sensing device on your Entry/Exit door may have been assigned  
to zone 001, sensing devices on windows in the master bedroom to zone 002,  
and so on. These numbers will appear on the display, along with an alpha  
descriptor for that zone (if programmed), when an alarm or trouble condition  
occurs.  
5 –  
 
System Overview (cont’d)  
Fire Protection  
The fire protection portion of your security system (if used) is always on and  
will sound an alarm if a fire condition is detected. Refer to the FIRE ALARM  
SYSTEM section for important information concerning fire protection, smoke  
detectors and planning emergency exit routes from your house.  
Burglary Protection  
The burglary protection portion of your system must be turned on or "armed"  
before it will sense burglary alarm conditions. Your system provides four  
modes of burglary protection: STAY, AWAY, INSTANT and MAXIMUM, and  
even allows you to BYPASS selected zones of protection while leaving the  
rest of the system armed. The system also provides a CHIME mode, for  
alerting users to the opening and closing of doors and windows while the  
system is disarmed. Refer to the other sections of this manual for procedures  
for using these features.  
The following table lists the four different arming modes and the results of  
each.

Alarms  
When an alarm occurs, both the keypad and external sounders will sound,  
and the keypad will display the zone(s) causing the alarm. If your system is  
connected to a central monitoring station, an alarm message will also be sent.  
To stop the alarm sounding, simply disarm the system.  
Memory of Alarm  
When an alarm condition occurs, the keypad displays the number(s) of the  
zone(s) that caused the problem, and displays the type of alarm (ex. FIRE,  
ALARM). It remains displayed until it is cleared by disarming the system  
(see DISARMING THE SYSTEM section).  
6 –  
 
System Overview (contd)  
Speed Key (Macros)  
The system can store a string of up to 32 keystrokes, which can be activated  
anytime by simply pressing the “A, B, C, or D” keys. This feature can be  
used to make it easy to perform multiple functions at once (such as going to  
another partition to bypass a zone), or it can be used to simplify an everyday,  
repeated procedure. Refer to the SPEED KEY section for procedures for  
using this feature.  
Using Schedules  
Your system may have been programmed with schedules for automatically  
arming, disarming and activating various devices and/or performing other  
system functions at predetermined times. Users can modify some of these  
schedules by manually delaying a closing time, using temporary schedules, or  
by programming special user schedules. Refer to the USING SCHEDULES  
section at the end of this manual for scheduling related procedures.  
Device Timers  
The system provides up to 20 "timers" that can be used to control various  
devices, such as lights or appliances. These timers are similar in concept to  
the individual appliance timers that might be purchased at a department  
store. The devices that can be controlled are programmed into the system by  
the installer. Up to 16 of these devices can be programmed. Refer to the  
PROGRAMMING DEVICE TIMERS section for procedures.  
To Access Another Partition (GOTO Command)  
Each keypad is assigned a default partition for display purposes, and will  
show only that partition’s information. But, if the user is authorized, a  
keypad in one partition can be used to perform system functions in another  
partition, by using the GOTO command. Note that only those partitions  
authorized and programmed by the installer can be accessed in this manner.  
To GOTO another partition, enter your security code, then press [] followed  
by the desired partition number (1-8).  
The keypad will remain in the new partition until directed to go to another  
partition, or until 120 seconds has elapsed with no keypad activity. Entering  
your security code, pressing [] followed by [0] will return the keypad to its  
original partition.  
7 –  
 
System Overview (contd)  
Master Keypad Operation  
A "Master" keypad is one on which the status of all 8 partitions is displayed  
simultaneously. A user can get more information about a certain partition by  
simply entering [] + the desired partition number (1-8). To log on to the  
"Master" partition (9) using the GOTO command, and to perform any  
functions at a Master keypad, a user must have access to all partitions.  
Self-Help Feature  
Abbreviated user’s instructions are built into the system that can be easily  
viewed on the alpha keypad’s message display screen. This feature will prove  
particularly useful if this manual is not conveniently accessible when you  
need to perform a system procedure with which you are not familiar.  
To view the abbreviated instructions:  
Simply press and hold down the function key of interest until the description  
starts to appear (about 5 seconds) and then release it. The system must be  
READY TO ARMto perform this function.  
Refer to the FUNCTIONS OF THE KEYPAD section for descriptions of each  
key function.  
Phone Access & Voice Response Capability  
Your system may include a 4285 or 4286 VIP module that will permit you to  
access the system via a Touch-tone phone, either on-premises or by call-in  
when away. The phone access feature will enable you to do the following:  
Receive synthesized voice messages over the telephone regarding the  
status of the security system.  
Arm and disarm the system and perform most function commands via  
the telephone, with voice confirmation provided after each command  
entry.  
Control 4204/4204CF relays devices and lights and appliances through  
the #70 Manual Relay Activation mode.  
Complete information regarding the use of this feature is provided in a  
separate manual entitled PHONE ACCESS USER'S GUIDE, which  
accompanies the 4285 or 4286 VIP module.

About The Keypads  
General  
IMPORTANT: If the keypad beeps rapidly upon entering the  
premises, it indicates that an alarm has occurred during your  
absence. LEAVE IMMEDIATELY and CONTACT THE POLICE  
from a safe location nearby.  
Your keypads allow you to control all system functions. The keypads feature  
a telephone style (digital) keypad and a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) that  
shows the nature and location of all occurrences. Keypad display back  
lighting is programmable to always stay on or to light only when a key is  
pressed, then turn off a few minutes later.  
The keypads also feature a built-in sounder that will sound during alarms  
and troubles. It will also "beep" during certain system functions, such as  
during entry/exit delay times, during CHIME mode, and when depressing  
keys to perform system functions (to acknowledge the key press). These  
sounds can be optionally suppressed in some of your keypads (so as not to  
disturb other users of the system). Ask your installer if this has been done.  
The Alpha Keypad  
Alpha keypads feature a 2-line, 32 character alphanumeric Liquid Crystal  
Display (LCD) that can display system messages in user-friendly English.  
Abbreviated users instructions can also be displayed (see Self Help  
paragraph in the SYSTEM OVERVIEW section). These keypads can also be  
programmed with custom zone descriptors.

holding the key down for at least 5 seconds.  
# : Permits ARMING of the system  
without use of a security code ("Quick  
Arm", if programmed).  
12 –  
 
Entry/Exit Delays  
General Information  
Your system has installer-programmed time delays, known as exit delay and  
entry delay. Whenever you arm your system, exit delay gives you time to  
leave through the designated exit door without setting off an alarm. Exit  
delay begins immediately after entering any arming command, and applies to  
all modes of arming protection. If programmed, a slow beeping will sound  
throughout the exit delay period.  
Entry Delay gives you time to disarm the system when you reenter through  
the designated entrance door. But the system must be disarmed before the  
entry delay period ends, or an alarm will occur. The keypad will beep 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 provide greater security while on  
the premises or while away for extended periods of time. See your installer  
for your delay times.  
13 –  
 
Security Codes & Authority Levels  
General Information  
At the time of installation, you were assigned an authority level and a  
personal four-digit security code, known only to you and yours. The security  
code must be entered when arming and disarming the system. The authority  
level defines the system functions that you can perform.  
As an additional safety feature, other users that do not have a need to know  
your code can be assigned different security codes, and each user can be given  
a different authority level. Users are identified by "user numbers", which are  
assigned when assigning a users security code.  
All codes can be used interchangeably when performing system functions  
within the limits of each codes authority level (a system armed with one  
users code can be disarmed by another users code), with the exception of the  
Operator Level C code. See AUTHORITY LEVELS on the following page for  
details regarding authority levels.  
Duress Code  
This feature is intended for use if 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 pre-assigned by the installer during installation (authority  
level 6).  
Important: This code is useful only when the system is connected to a  
central station.  
Quick Arming  
Note that if "Quick Arming" was programmed by the installer, the [#] key  
can be pressed in place of the security code when arming the system. The  
security code must always be used to disarm the system, however.  
14 –  
 
Security Codes & Authority Levels (contd)  
Authority Levels  
Authority levels define the system functions a particular user can perform.  
Depending on the authority assigned to you, there are certain system  
functions you may be prohibited from performing. In summary, there are six  
authority levels, each having certain system restrictions as shown below.  
Level 1 Master:  
Can perform all system functions in assigned  
partitions, and can add, delete or change Manager  
and Operator level users. Master codes are added  
by the Installer.  
Level 2 Manager:  
Can perform system functions in assigned  
partitions, and can add, delete or change Operator  
level users.  
Level 3 Operator A:  
Level 4 Operator B:  
Level 5 Operator C:  
Can perform system functions in assigned  
partitions, but cannot add or delete other users.  
Same as Operator A, except Operator B cannot  
bypass zones of protection.  
Can arm the system in assigned partitions, but  
cannot disarm the system unless the system was  
armed with this code. This code is typically  
assigned to someone who has  
a
need to  
arm/disarm the system only at certain times (such  
as a baby-sitter).  
Level 6 Duress:  
Can arm and disarm the system, but also sends a  
silent panic alarm to the central station, if that  
service is connected.  
To view your authority level and system capabilities:  
1. Enter your code + [] + [].  
2. The keypad will display the partition(s) that you are authorized to  
operate, and your user number and authority level in each partition.  
15 –  
 
Security Codes & Authority Levels (contd)  
General Rules on Authority Levels and Changes  
A user may not delete or change the user code of the SAME or HIGHER  
authority than which he is assigned.  
A user may only ADD users to a LOWER authority level.  
A user may assign access codes only to those partitions to which the user  
adding the code has access. (ex. a user with access to only partition 1  
cannot assign codes in partition 2.)  
The only way to assign a users authority level is by using the "Add A  
User" procedure. To change a users authority level, that user must first  
be deleted, then added again.  
A user can only be DELETED or CHANGED from within the partition he  
is assigned.  
User numbers must be entered as 3-digit entries. Single digit user  
numbers must be preceded by a "0" (example, 03, 04, etc.). Security codes  
are entered as 4-digit numbers.  
Before assigning a security code, be sure it does not conflict with any  
DURESS code.  
Note: When adding, changing or deleting users, all other alpha keypads in  
that partition will display "User Edit Mode Please Stand By", and key  
depressions (except Panic) at those keypads will be ignored. Panic key  
depressions will cause an alarm and terminate user entry.  
To Exit User Edit Mode  
You can exit any of the user edit modes described on the following pages at  
any time by doing the following:  
1. Press either or # , or don't press any key for 10 seconds.  
2. System returns to normal mode.

MULTI-ACCESS ?  
0 = NO , 1 = YES  
keypad will prompt for ability of this new user to  
access (GOTO) those partitions. Press 0 (NO) or 1  
(YES). If no, the system activates this user code and  
exits Add a Usermode. If yes, the keypad prompts  
for the Global Arm option for this user.  
Press 1 (YES) if this user will be allowed to try to  
arm more than one partition at the same time.  
Press 0 if this user will arm only his assigned  
partition.  
GLOBAL ARM ?  
0 = NO , 1 = YES  
The keypad now prompts for the users access to the  
next partition (see GOTO command). Again press 0

user number for use in that partition and will  
prompt for authority level and global arm options  
for this user within the partition (see previous  
steps).  
PART.2 - SHOP?  
0 = NO , 1 = YES  
When all partitions have been displayed, the  
keypad will scroll through the partition(s) to which  
access has been assigned, and will display the user  
number, authority level and global arm option for  
each. The Gafter the authority level indicates  
that the global arm feature is active for this user in  
the displayed partition. The "*" indicates the  
partition from which this user can be changed or  
deleted. The "." at the end of the second line  
indicates that this user sends open/close reports.

The Global Arming option may be assigned for use by some users. If Global  
Arming was enabled for use with your security code, a keypad prompt  
(message) shown below appears after pressing one of the arming function  
keys (STAY, INSTANT, AWAY, MAXIMUM, OFF).  
20 –  
 
Accessing Other Partitions (contd)  
The prompt displays all the partitions. The user  
may only arm/disarm the partitions they are  
assigned access to.  
ARM P1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8  
HIT 0-8 XXX- - X- -  
To select the partition(s) that are to be armed,  
enter the desired number 1-8. An "X" will appear  
under that partition. Entering  
a
partitions  
number again will delete the Xand that  
partition will not arm when this prompt is exited.  
Pressing 0 will turn all partitions the user is  
assigned access to on/off.  
When completed, press to exit. All the partitions  
with the Xwill then arm/disarm.  
Global Arming Notes:  
When performing a Global Arm, if there are faults in any of the selected  
partitions, the system will enter a Summary Mode. Faulted zones in all  
the selected partitions will be displayed. These faults must be corrected  
or bypassed. This Summary Mode will end in approximately 120 seconds  
if no keys are pressed.  
When performing a Global Disarm, if any of the selected partitions has a  
condition which would cause the keypad to beep (e.g., alarm memory or a  
trouble condition), the system enters a Summary Mode and displays the  
condition. This Summary Mode will end in approximately 120 seconds if  
no keys are pressed.  
21 –  
 
Accessing Other Partitions (contd)  
Master Keypad Operation  
A "Master" keypad is one that reflects the status of the entire system  
(Partitions 1-8) on its display. This is useful because it eliminates the need  
for a security officer in a building to have to "log-on" to various partitions  
from one partitions keypad to find out where an alarm has occurred.  
A description of a typical display follows:  
SYSTEM 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8  
STATUS RRNN A TB  
The status of each partition is directly below the partition number on the  
display. Possible status indications include:  
A = Armed Away  
I = Armed Instant  
S = Armed Stay  
R = Ready  
M = Armed Maximum  
N = Not Ready  
B = Bypassed/Ready = Alarm/Trouble  
To obtain more information regarding a particular partition, enter [7] +  
[Partition No.] (i.e., 74). This will allow viewing only of that partition. In  
order to affect that partition, the user must log on with a code that has access  
to that partition. Also, in order for a user of any partition to log onto the  
"Master" partition (Partition 9) to view the status of all partitions, and to  
perform any functions at the Master keypad, that user must have access to  
all partitions. Otherwise, access will be denied.  
The following is an example of what would be displayed for a fault condition  
on Zone 002 (Loading Dock Window) on Partition 1 (Warehouse) when  
logging on from a keypad on Partition 9:  
WHSE DISARMED  
HIT FOR FAULTS  
This is the normal display that appears at Partition 1s keypad(s). Pressing 7  
will display:  
FAULT 002 LOADING  
DOCK WINDOW  
22 –  
 
Accessing Other Partitions (contd)  
Additional zone faults will be displayed one at a time. To display a new  
partitions status, press + [Partition No.]. This will display the status of  
the new partition.  
The "Armed" LED on a Master keypad will be lit only if all partitions have  
been armed successfully. The "Ready" LED will be lit only if all partitions  
are "ready to arm."  
The sounder on a Master keypad will reflect the sound of the most critical  
condition on all of the partitions. The priority of the sounds is as follows:  
A. Pulsing fire alarm sounds  
B. Steady burglar alarm sounds  
C. Trouble sounds  
The sounder may be silenced by pressing any key on the Master keypad.  
Common Lobby Operation  
When an installation consists of a partition that is shared by users of other  
partitions in a building, that shared partition may be assigned as a common  
lobbypartition for the system. An example of this might be in a medical  
building where there are two doctors and a common entrance area.  
This option employs logic for automatic arming and disarming of the common  
lobby. Partitions may be set to affect and/or attempt to arm the common  
lobby. This will affect the way the lobby will react when arming or disarming  
activity occurs in another partition.  
Partitions that a ffect the lobby will cause the following to occur:  
a. When the first partition that affects the lobby is disarmed, the lobby will  
also be disarmed.  
b. The common lobby cannot be armed unless every partition selected to  
affects the lobby is armed.  
c. Arming the last partition that affects the lobby will n ot automatically  
attempt to arm the lobby.  
Partitions set to a r m the lobby will cause the following to occur:  
a. When the first partition that affects the lobby is disarmed, the lobby will  
also be disarmed.  
b. The common lobby cannot be armed unless every partition selected to  
affects the lobby is armed.  
23 –  
 
Accessing Other Partitions (contd)  
c. Arming the last partition programmed to arm the lobby will  
automatically attempt to arm the lobby. If any faults exist in the lobby  
partition, or another partition that affects the lobby is disarmed, the  
lobby cannot be armed, and the message UNABLE TO ARM LOBBY  
PARTITIONwill be displayed.

How User Codes Affect the Common Lobby  
Codes with GlobalArming  
If your code is given global armingwhen it is defined, the system displays a  
prompt that allows you to pick and choose the partitions to be armed or  
disarmed. This eliminates the automaticoperation of the lobby. Keep in  
mind, however, that if attempting to arm all the partitions you have access  
to, and another affecting partition is disarmed, (one you do not have access  
to) you will not be able to arm the lobby, and the message UNABLE TO  
ARM LOBBY PARTITONwill be displayed.  
Codes with Non-GlobalArming  
If arming with a non-global code, the lobby partition operation will be  
automatic, as described in the previous table.  
Other Methods of Arming/Disarming  
When arming or disarming a partition that affects and/or arms the common  
lobby in one of the following manners, lobby logic remains active:  
Quick-Arm  
Keyswitch  
Wireless Button  
Wireless Keypad  
24 –  
 
Checking For Open Zones  
Using the READY Key  
Before arming your system, all protected doors, windows and other protection  
zones must be closed or bypassed (see BYPASSING section). Otherwise the  
keypad will display a "Not Ready" message. Using the READY key will  
display all zones that are faulted, making it easier for you to secure any open  
zones.  
To show faulted zones:  
Note: Some keypads light a green LED when  
the system is ready. If not lit, the system is not  
ready to be armed.

Displaying All Zone Descriptors  
Using the READY Key  
The Alpha Keypads can also display all the zone descriptors that are  
programmed in your system. The abbreviated instructions for the READY  
key will appear first, followed by the zone descriptors. Displaying all  
descriptors is useful when you need to know the zone number of a particular  
zone, as when bypassing zones.  
The "Disarmed-Ready to arm" message must be displayed before zone  
descriptors can be displayed.  
READY  
Press the  
key and hold down for at least 5 seconds.  
26 –  
 
Bypassing Protection Zones  
Using the 6 BYPASS Key  
This key is used when you want to arm your system with one or more zones  
intentionally unprotected. Bypassed zones are unprotected and will not cause  
an alarm when violated while your system is armed. All bypasses are  
removed when an OFF sequence (security code plus OFF) is performed.  
Bypasses are also removed if the arming procedure that follows the bypass  
command is not successful.  
Note: The system will not allow fire or emergency zones to be  
bypassed.  
To bypass zones, the system must be disarmed first.  
BYPASS  
1. Enter your security code and press  
6
.
2. Enter zone number(s) for the zones to be bypassed (e.g., 001, 002, 003,  
etc.).  
Important! All single-digit numbers must be preceded by 00(for  
example, enter 001 for zone 1).  
When finished, the keypad will display the  
word BYPASS along with each bypassed zone  
number. Wait for these zones to be displayed  
before arming. Arming the system before  
bypassed zones are displayed eliminates all  
bypasses.

Speed Key (Macros)  
General Information  
The Dkey can be used to activate a string of commands up to 16 keystrokes  
each. These commands are known as a macro and are stored in the systems  
memory. Typical Speed Key functions include:  
Arming sequences that involve first bypassing certain zones before  
arming.  
Seldom used but repeatable sequences.  
Relay activation sequences.  
NOTE: If a speedkey function includes an arming sequence and the user  
executing it has global arming, all partitions the user can global arm will  
arm.  
Defining  
To program a macro, enter your user code + [#] + [D]. The following appears:  
ENTER SPEED KEY D  
existing sequence displayed  
Enter up to 16 keystrokes. A Speed Key sequence can include different  
commands. Press the "D" key to separate different commands. For example,  
you may want to perform the following sequence.  
GOTO partition 2......................Enter *2  
Bypass zones 10 & 11...............Press bypass [6], then the zone numbers 010  
& 011  
Arm in maximum mode............Press maximum [4] key  
Return to partition 1 ................Enter *1  
To program that Speed Key sequence, type the following:  
*2 D 6010011 D 4 D *1 D D  
Note that the "D" key is pressed after each command. Press "D" twice to  
complete the entry and exit.  
NOTE: When defining the Speed Key sequence, do not use the [#] key to  
represent Quick Arming. The system uses the code entered in response to  
the prompt to initiate commands in a Speed Key sequence, so the quick arm  
key is unnecessary. The system interprets the use of the [#] key in a Speed  
Key sequence as its designated function only.

Using #70 Relay Menu Mode  
General Information  
Your system may be set up so that certain lights or other devices can be  
turned on or off by using the #70 command from either a keypad or a  
telephone keypad (if 4285 or 4286 VIP module is used). Ask your installer if  
this has been done in your system.  
To activate relays from a keypad, enter 4-digit security code + [#] +70.  
Follow the keypad prompts described below.  
To activate relays using a telephone and 4285 or 4286 VIP module,  
first dial the 2-digit phone access code. When the system acknowledges the  
access, enter 4-digit security code + [#] + 70. The following prompts/voice  
responses will begin.  
ENTER DEVICE NO.  
Voice: "ENTER DEVICE CODE NOW"  
00=QUIT

Using Schedules  
Delaying the Closing Time  
Your systems programmed schedules may automatically arm the system at a  
predetermined time. In the event a user must stay on the premises later than  
usual, users with master or manager authority levels can manually delay the  
automatic arming (closing) time up to 2 hours. To delay the closing time:  
1. Enter your security code (master or manager authority levels only).  
2. Press the # key, followed by 82.  
3. A menu prompt will be displayed, asking for the number of hours of delay.  
Enter the desired number of hours of delay, 1 or 2.  
The system automatically exits this mode after  
entry.  
CLOSING DELAY?  
KEY 0-2 HOURS  
Note that the delay is from the scheduled closing time, not from the  
time the command is entered.  
IMPORTANT: The selected delay cannot be reduced once it is set. A 1  
hour delay can be increased to 2 hours, though.  
4. The system will automatically send a message to the central station  
informing them that the programmed schedule has been changed.  
Temporary Open/Close Schedules  
Temporary schedules allow you to override the normal schedules  
programmed by the installer. Temporary schedules can be in effect for up to  
one week, and take effect as soon as they are programmed.  
They are comprised of an arming (closing) time window and a disarming  
(opening) time window. A time window is simply a defined period of time, at  
the end of which arming or disarming will occur.  
Before programming, use a worksheet similar to the one below to plan your  
schedule. This will make it easier when actually programming the schedule.

Programming Device Timers  
General Information  
Device timers consist of an ON time & an OFF time, and selected days of the  
week in which they are active. There are up to 20 timers that can be used to  
control various devices, such as lights or appliances. Your installer will have  
programmed the appropriate devices into the system (up to 16 devices can be  
programmed).  
Each timer controls a single device (designated as an output number) that  
you select. For example, timer 1 might be set to turn the porch lights on at  
7:00pm and turn them off at 11:00pm. Timer 2 might turn on the air  
conditioner Monday-Friday at 4:30pm to cool the premises before you arrive  
at 5:00pm, and turn it off at 10:00pm when you are retiring for the night. If  
desired, different timers can control the same device. For example, timer 2  
could be used Monday-Friday as in the previous example, and timer 3 could  
be set to turn the air conditioner on and off at different times Saturday and  
Sunday.  
To enter the device timer menu mode:  
Enter your security code, then press the # key followed by 83.

Fire Alarm System  
Your fire alarm system (if installed) is on 24 hours a day, providing  
continuous protection. In the event of an emergency, the smoke and heat  
detectors automatically send signals to your Control, triggering a loud  
interrupting sound from the keypad and the optional exterior sounders.  
FIRE appears at your keypad and remains on until you silence the alarm.  
In Case Of Fire Alarm  
1. Should you become aware of a fire emergency before your detectors sense  
the problem, go to your nearest keypad and manually initiate an alarm  
by pressing the panic key assigned as FIRE emergency (if programmed  
by the installer) and hold down for at least 2 seconds.  
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.

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 Associations (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.

Recommendations For Proper Protection (contd)  
In addition, we recommend the following:  
ƒInstall a smoke detector inside every bedroom where a smoker sleeps.  
ƒInstall a smoke detector inside bedrooms where electrical appliances (such as portable  
heaters, air conditioners or humidifiers) are used.  
ƒInstall 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.  
ƒInstall a smoke detector at both ends of a hallway if the hallway is more than 40 feet (12  
meters) long.  
ƒInstall 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 commercial 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 so that alarm  
signals can still 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).  
54 –  
 
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. Position your detector or your interior and/or exterior sounders so that  
they can be heard by all occupants.  
2. 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 may be a window, should your path be impassable. Station an  
escape ladder at such windows if there is a long drop to the ground.  
3. 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.  
4. Assure that all bedroom doors are shut while you are asleep. This will  
prevent deadly smoke from entering while you escape.  
5. 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.  
6. Where smoke is present, crawl on the ground; do not walk upright.  
Smoke rises and may overcome you. Clearer air is near the floor.  
7. Escape quickly; dont panic.  
8. Establish a common meeting 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.  
55 –  
 
Maintaining Your System  
Taking Care of Your System  
The components of your security system are designed to be as free of  
maintenance as possible. However, there are some things you can do to make  
sure that your system is in reliable working condition.  
1. Test your system weekly.  
2. Test the system after any alarm occurs (see TESTING THE SYSTEM).  
Replacing Batteries in Wireless Sensors  
Wireless sensors  
may not have  
been used in your  
Each wireless sensor in your system has a 9-volt or 3-volt battery. The system  
detects a low battery in any wireless sensor, including smoke detectors, the  
optional personal emergency transmitter, and the optional portable wireless  
keypad. (A low battery in a portable wireless keypad is detected as soon as  
one of its keys is pressed, and the keypad will display 00.)  
security system  
Alkaline batteries provide a minimum of 1 year of operation, and in most  
units and applications, provide 24 years of service. Actual battery life will  
depend on the environment in which the sensor is used, the number of signals  
that the transmitter in the sensor has had to send, and the specific type of  
sensor. Factors such as humidity, high or low temperatures or large swings  
in temperature, may all lead to the reduction of actual battery life in an  
installation.  
If you have a low battery in a wireless sensor, a low battery message  
is displayed on the keypad.  
In addition, a battery-operated smoke detector with a low battery also emits  
a single "chirp" sound once approximately every 20-30 seconds, identifying  
itself as the smoke detector with the weak battery. If you do not replace a  
smoke detector's low battery, the smoke detector may sound continuously, as  
if there were a fire alarm.  
Note: The low battery message comes on as a warning that battery  
replacement in indicated sensor(s) is due within 30 days. In the meantime,  
the sensor(s) causing the low battery indication is still fully operational.  
Important: Use only batteries recommended by your installer as  
replacement.  
56 –  
 
Maintaining Your System (contd)  
Silencing Low Battery Warning Tones at the Keypad  
The keypads warning tones can be silenced by performing an OFF sequence  
(code plus OFF key), but the Keypad's low battery message display will  
remain on as a reminder that you have a low battery condition in one or more  
of your sensors. When you replace the weak battery with a fresh one, the  
sensor will send a "good battery" signal to the control as soon as the sensor is  
activated (opening/closing of door, window, etc.), causing the low battery  
display to turn off. If the sensor is not activated, the display will  
automatically clear within approximately 1 hour.  
Routine Care  
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.

accordance with the specifications in Part 15 of FCC Rules, which are designed to provide reasonable  
protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that  
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference to radio or  
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged  
to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:  
If using an indoor antenna, have a quality outdoor antenna installed.  
Reorient the receiving antenna until interference is reduced or eliminated.  
Move the receiver away from the control/communicator.  
Move the antenna leads away from any wire runs to the control/communicator.  
Plug the control/communicator into a different outlet so that it and the receiver are on different branch  
circuits.  
If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional  
suggestions.  
The user or installer may find the following booklet prepared by the Federal Communications Commission  
helpful: Interference Handbook”  
This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402.  
The user shall not make any changes or modifications to the equipment unless authorized by the Installation  
Instructions or Users Manual. Unauthorized changes or modifications could void the users authority to  
operate the equipment.  
IN THE EVENT OF TELEPHONE OPERATIONAL PROBLEMS  
In the event of telephone operational problems, disconnect the control by removing the plug from the RJ31X  
(CA38A in Canada) telephone wall jack. We recommend that your certified installer demonstrate  
disconnecting the phones on installation of the system. Do not disconnect the phone connection inside the  
control/communicator. Doing so will result in the loss of your phone lines. If the regular phone works  
correctly after the control/communicator has been disconnected from the phone lines, the  
control/communicator has a problem and should be returned for repair. If upon disconnection of the  
control/communicator, there is still a problem on the line, notify the telephone company that they have a  
problem and request prompt repair service. The user may not under any circumstances (in or out of  
warranty) attempt any service or repairs to the system. It must be returned to the factory or an authorized  
service agency for all repairs.

WARNING!  
THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS ALARM 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 example:  
Intruders may gain access through unprotected openings or have the technical sophistication to bypass an alarm sensor  
or disconnect an alarm warning device.  
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. 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 arson. Depending upon the nature  
of the fire and/or the locations 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 protected area approaches the temperature range of 90° to 105°F, 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 sound 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 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 or waken deep sleepers.  
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 10 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.  
Installing an alarm system may make one eligible for lower insurance rates, 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.
