Getting to Know Your Security System
This manual describes how to operate your system. It describes basic arming
and disarming commands as well as how to program system features.
The dealer or installer may have already discussed the details of your system
with you. Record your system details in the User Sheets located in Appendix A.
Overview
Your security system is made up of different parts. Each plays a special role in
the system’s operation:
Control Panel
The panel is at the heart of your system. It stores the intelligence to monitor all
the sensors and devices in the system. The panel is the piece of equipment that
activates sirens and initiates a call to the central station in an alarm situation.
Touchpads
Touchpads are used to arm, disarm, and program your system.
The first touchpad is called a fixed display touchpad. It communicates by using
indicator lights, lighted text, and an 11-character display. The second touchpad is
called an alphanumeric touchpad and communicates by displaying text on a two-
line display.
