SECURITY SYSTEM OPERATION

Disarming the Security System and Silencing Alarms


Before going any further, you should know how to disarm your security system in the event that the alarm sounds. Turning the
system OFF disarms the burglar alarm, resets the fire and emergency alarms, and silences all sirens and sounders.

Press the OFF key.

Now enter your four digit Code.


That's all there is to it.

Watch the display. The top line will read "DISARM" - The bottom line will read "ENTER CODE", indicating that your option is
to enter your code number. For each digit that you press, an "X" will appear indicating that the key has been pressed.

After the four-digit code has been successfully entered, the console will beep once to indicate that you have correctly disarmed
the system. The console LED will be set to green, and the display will return to the normal top-level system display.

If an incorrect code is entered, the console will beep three times and display
" *** INVALID CODE *** ".

Re-enter your code.

In the event that you make a mistake, press the OFF key again, and then enter your master code again.

Practice disarming your system until you are comfortable with this procedure.

NOTES:

¾ Panic, Tamper, and Fire zones are always armed, as are the Emergency buttons on the console.

¾ In the event that the alarm has been activated, the menu keys and the arrow keys are locked out. You must silence the alarm

using the OFF, DAY, NIGHT, or AWAY keys.


Arming the Security System


Now that you know how to disarm the system, here's how to arm the security system. The security menu is used to arm and
disarm the security system. To enter the security menu, from the top-level display, press the 2 key on the console keypad. The
console should display:

0=OFF 1=DAY 2=NIGHT

3=AWAY 4=VACATION


5=DAY INST 6=NIGHT DLY

8=BYPASS 9=RESTORE


0 = OFF

The OFF key disarms the security system, resets the fire and emergency alarms, and silences all sirens and sounders.

1 = DAY

The DAY mode is intended for use when someone will occupy the house or business that is being protected. In the Day mode,
the perimeter zones (doors and windows) are armed; however, interior motion detectors and interior traps are not armed so that
you may move about freely inside. In the Day mode, there will be an Entry Delay on the Entry-Exit zone, so that someone
arriving can turn off the alarm before it sounds.
