Operation
ARMING THE SYSTEM
To arm the system, use any connected keypad to enter the
password then press
ARM once, or simply press ARM twice.
If you enter the correct password and there are no activated
or faulted zones,
ARMED on the keypad lights, and the alarm
system is armed. If you enter the wrong password, the sys-
tem does not arm.
Notes:
• While entering the password, if you enter an incorrect
digit before entering the last digit, you can press CAN-
CEL to cancel your previous entries, then enter the
password again.
• When you use a connected keypad, all other keypads
are locked out for 10 seconds after the last key press.
DISARMING THE SYSTEM
To disarm the system normally, use any connected keypad
to enter the password while the system is armed.
Note: When the system is in exit delay mode, press CAN-
CEL to disarm the system.
If you enter the correct password, ARMED on the keypad
turns off, and the alarm system is disarmed. If you enter the
wrong password, the system remains armed, but gives no
indication a wrong code was entered.
Note: If you enter the wrong password three times in a row,
the alarm center locks out all connected keypads for 5 min-
utes. This prevents an intruder from easily determining your
password by trying random combinations.
If your alarm system was activated while it was armed and
the alarm sounded,
ARMED on the keypad flashes to show
that the alarm had sounded. To stop the alarm, enter the
password. To stop
ARMED from flashing, press CANCEL .
If your alarm system was activated and the alarm sounds,
enter the duress code to disarm the system. The alarm
stops, but the security dialer still sends the emergency mes-
sage. To stop the security dialer, enter the password.
If the system is armed, opening the front cabinet or taking
the alarm center off the wall triggers the alarm. Make sure to
disarm the system before you open the cabinet or remove
the alarm center from the wall.
SOUNDING A PANIC ALARM
You can activate the alarm system’s panic alarm at any time,
even if the system is not armed.
To sound a panic alarm, press any installed panic button (if
you installed a panic/tamper zone) or press
ENTER and
CANCEL at the same time on any remote keypad. The alarm
sounds and the system automatically arms.
CHANGING THE PASSWORD
Arm or disarm the alarm center by using the number keys on
the remote keypad to enter a four-digit password you
choose. The default password for the alarm center is 1234.
Follow these steps to enter a new password.
1. If the alarm center is armed, use the keypad to enter the
current password or 1 2 3 4 (the default password). The
alarm center is disarmed.
