SYSTEM OVERVIEW
General Congratulations on your ownership of a First Alert Professional Security
System. You've made a wise decision in choosing it, for it represents the
latest in security protection technology today, including microcomputer
technology to monitor all system status.
Basically, this system offers you three forms of protection: burglary, fire
and emergency. Your system may consist of at least one keypad which
provides full control of system operation, plus various devices such as
door and window sensors and motion detectors. It may also include a
selected number of smoke or combustion detectors designed to provide
early warning in case of fire. Your system may also have been pro-
grammed to automatically transmit alarm or status messages over the
phone lines to a central alarm monitoring station.
Keypads Your keypads allow you to control all system functions and feature a
telephone style (digital) keypad and a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) that
shows the nature and location of all occurrences and a built-in sounder
which sounds during alarms and troubles.
For additional information, see the following section:
ABOUT THE
KEYPADS.
Zones Your system's sensing devices have been assigned to various "zones".
For example, the sensing device on your Entry/Exit door may have been
assigned to zone 01, sensing devices on windows in the master bedroom
to zone 02, and so on. These zone numbers will appear on the display
when an alarm or trouble condition occurs.
