Manager Code

The Manager codes can arm/disarm the security system during assigned times. The Manager code can access functions that are
code protected in High Security mode. Managers may also access the system from an outside telephone line.

User Code

User codes can only be used to arm and disarm the security system during assigned times.

Duress Code

If you are forced to disarm the system against your will by an intruder, disarm it as you normally would, but use the Duress Code
instead of your normal code. The system will disarm normally. No sirens will sound, no lights will flash, but the OmniLT will
perform a silent dial out and say that this is a silent alarm.

To stop a silent dial out, turn your security system off the usual way, pressing Off key, then your code.

Panic Switches


If you have had panic switches installed, they are always armed. Pressing a panic switch will cause the alarm to activate. This
alarm can only be silenced by pressing the Off key and a valid code on the console.

Testing Your System


HAI recommends testing your system on a weekly basis to ensure that you are fully protected.

1.

Notify your Central Station that you intend to test the system. To test the siren, press the 1 and 3 keys simultaneously.
Press OFF and enter your Code to cancel the alarm and silence the siren.


2.

To test the security zones, you will need a partner to walk around your home and open and close all doors, windows, etc.
that are connected to the system while you watch the console. Have a partner open each door and window, then close it.
The display should show the zone name as being "NOT RDY" and then return to "SYSTEM OK" when closed.


3.

Have your partner walk in front of all motion detectors (if installed) and verify that the console responds in a similar fashion.


4.

Test your smoke detectors as recommended by the manufacturer. Be ready to silence the alarm system as soon as it sounds.


5.

From the top-level display or from the main menu, press the 6 key then the 4 key.

-

The Battery reading should be over 200 - See Status \ Test.


6.

Pick up an inside phone and press the # key. When the menu is spoken, press 8, Then 3. The OmniLT should say
"ADDRESS IS: "and play your name and address. If it does, the telephone dialer, telephone access and telephone control
systems are all working correctly.


7.

If you wish to test your system's link to your Central Station monitoring service, call them first and inform them that you
will be testing your alarm system. Set off the alarm, allowing sufficient time for any dial out delays that you may have, then
turn the alarm system Off. The Central Station should receive the alarm code.
