THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
There are some basic things you
should know before proceeding.
TIME, DATE AND STATUS DISPLAY
In its normal state, the console
display will show the time and date
on the top line, and the system
status on the bottom line. If all
doors, windows, sensors, etc. are
closed and OK; if no zones are
bypassed and if there are no
troubles, the bottom line will show
“SYSTEM OK”.
If one of the doors, windows,
motion or other detector connected
to the Model 1503 is open, or has
detected motion, the bottom line of
the display will say “ZONE NAME IN
ALARM”, for example, “FRONT DOOR IN
ALARM”. (If the zone name has not
been entered during set up, the
display will give the zone number
and zone type.) This display will
remain for 2 seconds, then the next
zone in alarm, or in trouble, or
bypassed will be displayed.
DISPLAY MENUS
The system has been designed to
be easy to operate. Whenever you
press a key on the console, the
display will indicate what you are
doing, and the bottom line will
show a menu of your next options.

buttons. These names are displayed
