Go to Bed (Button 3):
- turn off all lights
- dim outdoor lights 20% to extend
bulb life and reduce consumption
- arm security in ASLEEP mode
Watch TV
- dim the den lights
- turn off the bedroom and living
room lights
- arm security in HOME mode
To activate a preprogrammed but-
ton, press its number, then ENTER
(i.e. 1, ENTER). Remember to look
for “SYSTEM OK” on the display
before using a macro to arm the
security system.
For extra convenience, certain
buttons are automatically activated
when you change security modes, or
when security zones open and close.
This powerful feature allows you to
set your system up so that home
control functions are performed
when you arm your security system
(such as turning off all lights and
setting back the HVAC system). Door
contacts and motion detectors can
be used to turn on lighting auto-
matically, then turn it off a few
minutes after the person has left,
and then only if it’s dark.
PROGRAMMING BUTTONS
For each command that a button
will activate, you enter a program
linking the command with the button
that activates it. There can be as
many programs for one button as you
like, up to the memory limit of 255
programs.
The procedure for programming a
button is:
entry delay in the ASLEEP mode.
If you forget and come home late
one night, the security system
will be on, but the entry delay
will allow you to turn it off
before the interior sounder
comes on.
2. If you program the system to
disarm itself, be sure to
conditionalize it as shown in
Example 6 so that it won’t dis-
arm when you don’t intend it
to.
BUTTONS
A powerful feature of the Model
1503 is the ability to program
BUTTONS. A BUTTON is a number on
the keypad, 0 - 200, that is pro-
grammed to run a series of commands
when it is pressed. (In computer
jargon this is called a MACRO.)
Buttons are used to program func-
tions that are specific to your
home and life-style. Using a but-
ton, you can activate several com-
mands at once.
Following are some examples of
Buttons:
Leave for Work (Button 1):
- turn off all lights
- turn on the energy saver
- arm the security system in the
AWAY mode
Dinner for Two (Button 2)
- dim the dining and living room
lights
- turn on the porch light
