System Overview  
General  
Congratulations on your ownership of an First Alert Partitioned  
Security System. You've made a wise decision in choosing it, for it  
represents the latest in security protection technology today. Ademco  
is the world's largest manufacturer of security systems and millions of  
premises are protected by First Alert systems.  
This system offers you three forms of protection: burglary, fire and  
emergency. To realize the system's full potential, it is important that  
you feel comfortable in operating it. Your system consists of at least  
one Keypad which provides full control of system operation, various  
sensors which provide perimeter and interior burglary protection,  
plus a selected number of strategically placed smoke or combustion  
detectors designed to provide early warning in case of fire.  
The system uses microcomputer technology to monitor all protection  
zones and system status and provides appropriate information for  
display on the Keypad(s) used with the system, and initiates  
appropriate alarms. Your system may also have been programmed to  
automatically transmit alarm or status messages over the phone lines  
to a central alarm monitoring station.  
A Partitioned System  
Simply stated, a partitioned system shares one physical alarm system  
among different users, each with their own requirements. For the  
most part, you as a user need not know about other users and their  
structure in the system, but from time to time, you may see display  
messages which indicate the system is in use by another user. Do not  
be concerned, this is normal. Refer to the ACCESSING OTHER  
PARTITIONS section for additional information.  
– 4 –  
 
System Overview (cont’d)  
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 001, sensing devices on windows in the master  
bedroom to zone 002, and so on. These numbers will appear on the  
display, along with an alpha descriptor for that zone (if programmed),  
when an alarm or trouble condition occurs.  
Fire Protection  
The fire protection portion of your security system (if used) is always  
on and will sound an alarm if a fire condition is detected. Refer to the  
FIRE ALARM SYSTEM section for important information concerning  
fire protection, smoke detectors and planning emergency exit routes  
from your house.  
Burglary Protection  
The burglary protection portion of your system must be turned on or  
"armed" before it will sense burglary alarm conditions. Your system  
provides four modes of burglary protection: STAY, AWAY, INSTANT  
and MAXIMUM, and even allows you to BYPASS selected zones of  
protection while leaving the rest of the system armed. The system  
also provides a CHIME mode, for alerting users to the opening and  
closing of doors and windows while the system is disarmed. Refer to  
the other sections of this manual for procedures for using these  
features.

Alarms  
When an alarm occurs, both the keypad and external sounders will  
sound, and the keypad will display the zone(s) causing the alarm. If  
your system is connected to a central monitoring station, an alarm  
message will also be sent. To stop the alarm sounding, simply disarm  
the system.  
Memory of Alarm  
When an alarm condition occurs, the keypad displays the number(s)  
of the zone(s) that caused the problem, and displays the type of alarm  
(ex. FIRE, ALARM). It remains displayed until it is cleared by  
disarming the system (see DISARMING THE SYSTEM section).  
Speed Key (Macros)  
The system can store a string of up to 32 keystrokes, which can be  
activated anytime by simply pressing the “A, B, C, or D” keys. This  
feature can be used to make it easy to perform a complicated  
procedure (such as going to another partition to bypass a zone), or it  
can be used to simplify an everyday, repeated procedure. Refer to the  
SPEED KEY section for procedures for using this feature.  
– 6 –  
 
System Overview (cont’d)  
Using Schedules  
Your system may have been programmed with schedules for  
automatically arming, disarming and activating various devices  
and/or performing other system functions at predetermined times.  
Users can modify some of these schedules by manually delaying a  
closing time, using temporary schedules, or by programming special  
user schedules. Refer to the USING SCHEDULES section at the end  
of this manual for scheduling related procedures.  
Device Timers  
The system provides up to 20 "timers" which can be used to control  
various devices, such as lights or appliances. These timers are similar  
in concept to the individual appliance timers that might be purchased  
at a department store. The devices that can be controlled are  
programmed into the system by the installer. Up to 32 of these  
devices can be programmed. Refer to the PROGRAMMING DEVICE  
TIMERS section for procedures.  
To Access Another Partition (GOTO Command)  
Each keypad is assigned a default partition for display purposes, and  
will show only that partition's information. But, if the user is  
authorized, a keypad in one partition can be used to perform system  
functions in another partition by using the GOTO command. Note  
that only those partitions authorized and programmed by the installer  
can be accessed in this manner.  
To GOTO another partition, enter your security code, then press   
followed by the desired partition number (1-8).  
The keypad will remain in the new partition until directed to go to  
another partition, or until 120 seconds has elapsed with no keypad  
activity. Entering partition number 0 will return the keypad to its  
original partition.  
– 7 –  
 
System Overview (cont’d)  
Master Keypad Operation  
A "Master" keypad is one on which the status of all 8 partitions is  
displayed simultaneously. A user can get more information about a  
certain partition by simply entering + the desired partition  
number (1-8). To log on to the "Master" partition (9) using the GOTO  
command, a user must have access to all partitions.  
Self-Help Feature  
Abbreviated user's instructions are built into the system that can be  
easily viewed on the alpha keypad's message display screen. This  
feature will prove particularly useful if this manual is not  
conveniently accessible when you need to perform a system procedure  
with which you are not familiar.  
To view th e a bbr evia ted in str u ction s:  
Simply press and hold down the function key of interest until the  
description starts to appear (about 5 seconds) and then release it.  
Refer to the FUNCTIONS OF THE KEYPAD section for  
descriptions of each key function.  
Phone Access & Voice Response Capability  
Your system may include a 4285 or 4286 VIP module that will permit  
you to access the system via a Touch-tone phone, either on-premises  
or by call-in when away. The phone access feature will enable you to  
do the following:  
• Receive synthesized voice messages over the telephone regarding  
the status of the security system.  
• Arm and disarm the system and perform most function commands  
via the telephone, with voice confirmation provided after each  
command entry.  
– 8 –  
 
System Overview (cont’d)  
• Control 4204/4204CF relays devices through the #70 Manual Relay  
Activation mode.  
Complete information regarding the use of this feature is provided in  
a separate manual entitled PHONE ACCESS USER'S GUIDE, which  
accompanies the 4285 or 4286 VIP module.

About The Keypads  
General  
IMPORTANT: If the keypad beeps rapidly upon  
entering the premises, it indicates that an alarm  
has occurred during your absence. LEAVE  
IMMEDIATELY and CONTACT THE POLICE  
from a nearby safe location.  
Your keypads allow you to control all system functions. The keypads  
feature a telephone style (digital) keypad and a Liquid Crystal  
Display (LCD) which shows the nature and location of all occurrences.  
Keypad display back lighting is programmable to always stay on or to  
light only when a key is pressed, then turn off a few minutes later.  
The keypads also feature a built-in sounder which will sound during  
alarms and troubles. It will also "beep" during certain system  
functions, such as during entry/exit delay times, during CHIME  
mode, and when depressing keys to arm and disarm the system (to  
acknowledge the key press). These sounds can be optionally  
suppressed in some of your keypads (so as not to disturb other users  
of the system). Ask your installer if this has been done.  
The Alpha Keypad  
Alpha keypads feature a 2-line, 32 character alphanumeric Liquid  
Crystal Display (LCD) which can display system messages in friendly  
English. Abbreviated user's instructions can also be displayed (see  
Self Help paragraph in the SYSTEM OVERVIEW section). These  
keypads can also be programmed with custom zone descriptors.

Entry/Exit Delays  
General Information  
Your system has preset time delays, known as exit delay and entry  
delay. Whenever you arm your system, exit d ela y gives you time to  
leave through the designated exit door without setting off an alarm.  
Exit delay begins immediately after entering any arming command,  
and applies to all modes of arming protection. If programmed, a slow  
beeping will sound throughout the exit delay period.  
En tr y Dela y gives you time to disarm the system when you reenter  
through the designated entrance door. But the system must be  
disarmed before the entry delay period ends, or an alarm will occur.  
The keypad will beep during the entry delay period, reminding you to  
disarm the system. You can also arm the system with no entry delay  
at all by using either INSTANT or MAXIMUM arming modes. These  
modes provide greater security while on the premises or while away  
for extended periods of time. See your installer for your delay times.  
– 14 –  
 
Security Codes & Authority Levels  
General Information  
At the time of installation, you were assigned an authority level and a  
personal four-digit security code, known only to you and yours. The  
security code must be entered when arming and disarming the  
system. The authority level defines the system functions that you can  
perform.  
As an additional safety feature, other users that do not have a need to  
know your code can be assigned different security codes, and each  
user can be given a different authority level. Users are identified by  
"user numbers", which are assigned when assigning a user's security  
code.  
All codes can be used interchangeably when performing system  
functions within the limits of each code's authority level (a system  
armed with one user's code can be disarmed by another user's code),  
with the exception of the Operator Level C code. See AUTHORITY  
LEVELS section on the following page for detailed information  
regarding user authority levels.  
Duress Code  
This feature is intended for use when you are forced to disarm or arm  
the system under threat. When used, the system will act normally,  
but can silently notify the central station of your situation, if that  
service has been provided. The duress code is pre-assigned by the  
installer during installation (auth. level 6).  
Im p or ta n t: This code is useful only when the system is connected to  
a central station.  
Quick Arming  
Note that if "Quick Arming" was programmed by the installer, the #  
key can be pressed in place of the security code when arming the  
– 15 –  
 
Security Codes & Authority Levels (cont’d)  
system. The security code must always be used to disarm the system,  
however.  
Authority Levels  
Authority levels define the system functions a particular user can  
perform. Depending on the authority assigned to you, there are  
certain system functions you may be prohibited from performing. In  
summary, there are six authority levels, each having certain system  
restrictions as shown below.  
Level 1 Ma ster :  
Can perform all system functions in assigned  
partitions, and can add, delete or change  
Manager and Operator level users. Master  
codes are added by the Installer.  
Level 2 Ma n a ger :  
Can perform system functions in assigned  
partitions, and can add, delete or change  
Operator level users.  
Level 3 Op er a tor A: Can perform system functions in assigned  
partitions, but cannot add or delete other  
users.  
Level 4 Op er a tor B: Same as Operator A, except Operator B  
cannot bypass zones of protection.  
Level 5 Op er a tor C: Can arm the system in assigned partitions,  
but cannot disarm the system u n less the  
system was armed with this code. This code  
is typically assigned to someone who has a  
need to arm/disarm the system only at  
certain times (such as a baby-sitter).  
Level 6 Du r ess:  
Can arm and disarm the system, but also  
sends a silent panic alarm to the central  
station, if that service is connected.  
– 16 –  
 
Security Codes & Authority Levels (cont’d)  
Level 7 Lim ited Use: Can arm and disarm the system for a  
predetermined number of times. Use #84  
mode to set number of times.  
To view you r a u th or ity level a n d system ca p a b ilities:  
1. Enter your code + + .  
2. The keypad will display the partition(s) that you are authorized to  
operate, and your user number and authority level in each  
partition.  
General Rules on Authority Levels and Changes  
• A user may not delete or change the user code of the SAME or  
HIGHER authority than which he is assigned.  
• A user may only ADD users to a LOWER authority level.  
• A user may assign access codes only to those partitions to which the  
user adding the code has access. (ex. a user with access to only  
partition 1 cannot assign codes in partition 2.)  
• The only way to assign a user's authority level is by using the "Add  
A User" procedure. To change a user's authority level, that user  
must first be deleted, then added again.  
• A user can only be DELETED or CHANGED from within the  
partition he is assigned.  
User numbers must be entered as 3-digit entries. Single digit user  
numbers must be preceded by a "00" (example, 003, 004, etc.).  
Security codes are entered as 4-digit numbers.  
• Before assigning a security code, be sure it does not conflict with  
any DURESS code.  
Note: When adding, changing or deleting users, all other alpha  
keypads in that partition will display "User Edit Mode – Please Stand  
By", and key depressions (except Panic) at those keypads will be  
ignored. Panic key depressions will cause an alarm and terminate  
user entry.

Global Arming  
The Global Arming option may have been programmed for use by  
some users. If Global Arming was enabled for use with your security  
code, a keypad prompt (message) will appear after pressing one of the  
arming function keys (STAY, INSTANT, AWAY, MAXIMUM, OFF).  
Follow the keypad prompts to continue arming the system. See your  
installer for detailed instructions on the use of this feature.  
If global arming does not apply to your security code, use the  
procedures described in the following pages.

Accessing Other Partitions (cont’d)  
Master Keypad Operation  
A "Master" keypad is one that reflects the status of the entire system  
(Partitions 1-8) on its display. This is useful because it eliminates the  
need for a security officer in a building to have to "log-on" to various  
partitions from one partition's keypad to find out where an alarm has  
occurred.  
A description of a typical display follows:  
SYSTEM 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8  
STATUS RRNN A T B  
The status of each partition is directly below the partition number on  
the display. Possible status indications include:  
A = Armed Away  
S = Armed Stay  
R = Ready  
M = Armed Maximum  
I = Armed Instant  
N = Not Ready  
B = Bypassed/Ready  
= Alarm Memory/Trouble present  
To obtain more information regarding a particular partition, enter [*]  
+ [Partition No.] (i.e., 4). This will allow viewing only of that  
partition. In order to affect that partition, the user must log on with  
a code that has access to that partition. Also, in order for a user of  
any partition to log onto the "Master" partition (Partition 9) to view  
the status of all partitions, that user must have access to all  
partitions. Otherwise, access will be denied.  
The following is an example of what would be displayed for a fault  
condition on Zone 2 (Loading Dock Window) on Partition  
(Warehouse) when logging on from a keypad on Partition 9:

DOCK WINDOW  
Additional zone faults will be displayed one at a time. To display a  
new partition's status, press + [Partition No.]. This will display the  
status of the new partition.  
The "Armed" LED on a Master keypad will be lit only if all partitions  
have been armed successfully. The "Ready" LED will be lit only if all  
partitions are "ready to arm."  
The sounder on a Master keypad will reflect the sound of the most  
critical condition on all of the partitions. The priority of the sounds is  
as follows:  
A. Pulsing fire alarm sounds  
B. Steady burglar alarm sounds  
C. Trouble sounds  
The sounder may be silenced by pressing any key on the Master  
keypad.

Accessing Other Partitions (cont’d)  
Common Lobby Operation  
When an installation consists of a partition that is shared by users of  
other partitions in a building, that shared partition may be assigned  
as a common lobby” partition for the system. An example of this  
might be in a medical building where there are two doctors and a  
common entrance area.  
This option employs logic for automatic arming and disarming of the  
common lobby. Partitions may be set to affect and/or attempt to arm  
the common lobby. This will affect the way the lobby will react when  
arming or disarming activity occurs in another partition.  
Partitions that a ffect the lobby will cause the following to occur:  
a. When the first partition that affects the lobby is disarmed, the  
lobby will also be disarmed.  
b. The common lobby cannot be armed unless every partition  
selected to affects the lobby is armed.  
c. Arming the last partition that affects the lobby will n ot  
automatically attempt to arm the lobby.  
Partitions set to a r m the lobby will cause the following to occur:  
a. When the first partition that affects the lobby is disarmed, the  
lobby will also be disarmed.  
b. The common lobby cannot be armed unless every partition  
selected to affects the lobby is armed.  
– 25 –  
 
Accessing Other Partitions (cont’d)  
c. Arming the last partition programmed to arm the lobby will  
automatically attempt to arm the lobby. If any faults exist in the  
lobby partition, or another partition that affects the lobby is  
disarmed, the lobby cannot be armed, and the message UNABLE  
TO ARM LOBBY PARTITION” will be displayed.

How User Codes Affect the Common Lobby  
Cod es w ith “Glob a l” Ar m in g  
If your code is given global arming” when it is defined, the keypad  
will ask Arm All?” or “Disarm All?” whenever you try to arm or  
disarm the partitions you have access to. This allows you to pick and  
choose the partitions to be armed or disarmed, and so eliminates the  
automatic” operation of the lobby. Keep in mind, however, that if  
attempting to arm all, and another affecting partition is disarmed,  
you will not be able to arm the lobby, and the message UNABLE TO  
ARM LOBBY PARTITON” will be displayed.  
Cod es w ith “Non -Glob a l” Ar m in g  
If arming with a non-global code, the lobby partition operation will be  
automatic, as described in the previous table.

Speed Key (Macros)  
General Information  
The A”, “B, “C, and/or “D” keys can be used to activate a string of  
commands up to 32 keystrokes each. These commands are known as a macro  
and are stored in the systems memory. Typical Speed Key functions include:  
Arming sequences that involve first bypassing certain zones before  
arming.  
Seldom used but repeatable sequences.  
Relay activation sequences.  
Defining  
To program a macro, enter your user code + [#] + [D]. The following appears:  
ENTER SPEED KEY #  
01-32  
00=QUIT  
Enter the 2-digit Speed Key number (01-32) being defined and press [*].  
Enter up to 32 keystrokes. A Speed Key sequence can include different  
commands. Press the "D" key to separate different commands. For example,  
you may want to perform the following sequence.  
GOTO partition 2......................Enter *2  
Bypass zones 010 & 011 ...........Press bypass [6], then the zone numbers 010  
& 011  
Arm in maximum mode............Press maximum [4] key  
Return to partition 1.................Enter *1  
To program that Speed Key sequence, type the following:  
*2 D 6010011 D 4 D *1 D  
D
Note that the "D" key is pressed after each command. Press "D" twice to  
complete the entry and exit.  
NOTE: When defining Speed Key sequences, do not use the [#] key to  
represent Quick Arming. The system uses the code entered in  
response to the prompt to initiate commands in a Speed Key  
sequence, so the quick arm key is unnecessary. The system  
interprets the use of the [#] key in a Speed Key sequence as its  
designated function only.

Temporary Open/Close Schedules  
Temporary schedules allow you to override the normal schedules  
programmed by the installer. Temporary schedules can be in effect for  
up to one week, and take effect as soon as they are programmed.  
– 46 –  
 
Using Schedules (cont’d)  
Schedules are comprised of an arming (closing) time window and a  
disarming (opening) time window. A time window is simply a defined  
period of time, at the end of which arming or disarming will occur.  
Before programming a temporary schedule, use a worksheet similar  
to the one below to plan your schedule. This will make it easier when  
actually programming the schedule.

Temporary schedules only affect the partition from which it is  
entered. Temporary schedules can be reused at later dates simply by  
scrolling (by pressing #) to the DAYS? prompt (described below) and  
activating the appropriate days. This should be considered when  
defining daily time windows. Note that only users with authority level  
of manager or higher can program temporary schedules.

Programming Device Timers  
General Information  
Device timers consist of an ON time & an OFF time, and selected  
days of the week in which they are active. There are up to 20 timers  
that can be used to control various devices, such as lights or  
appliances. Your installer will have programmed the appropriate  
devices into the system (up to 32 devices can be programmed).  
Each timer controls a single device (designated as an output number)  
that you select. For example, timer 1 might be set to turn the porch  
lights on at 7:00pm and turn them off at 11:00pm. Timer 2 might turn  
on the air conditioner Monday-Friday at 4:30pm to cool the premises  
before you arrive at 5:00pm, and turn it off at 10:00pm when you are  
retiring for the night. If desired, different timers can control the same  
device. For example, timer 2 could be used Monday-Friday as in the  
previous example, and timer 3 could be set to turn the air conditioner  
on and off at different times Saturday and Sunday.

Fire Alarm System  
General  
Your fire alarm system (if installed) is on 24 hours a day, providing  
continuous protection. In the event of an emergency, the installed  
smoke and heat detectors will automatically send signals to your  
Control/Communicator, triggering a loud interrupting sound from the  
keypad. An interrupted sound will also be produced by optional  
exterior sounders. A FIRE message will appear at your keypad and  
remain on until you silence the alarm.  
In Case Of Fire Alarm  
1. Should you become aware of a fire emergency before your  
detectors sense the problem, go to your nearest keypad and  
manually initiate an alarm by pressing the panic key assigned as  
FIRE emergency (if programmed by the installer) and hold down  
for at least 2 seconds.  
2. Evacuate all occupants from the premises.  
3. If flames and/or smoke are present, leave the premises and notify  
your local Fire Department immediately.  
4. If no flames or smoke are apparent, investigate the cause of the  
alarm. The zone descriptor of the zone(s) in an alarm condition  
will appear at the keypad.  
Silencing A Fire Alarm  
1. Silence the alarm by entering your code and pressing the OF F  
key. To clear the display, enter your code and press the OF F key  
again

2. If the keypad does not indicate a R E ADY condition after the  
second OF F sequence, press the R E ADY key to display the  
zone(s) that are faulted. Be sure to check that smoke detectors  
are not responding to smoke or heat producing objects in their  
vicinity. Should this be the case, eliminate the source of heat or  
smoke.  
3. If this does not remedy the problem, there may still be smoke in  
the detector. Clear it by fanning the detector for about 30 seconds.  
4. When the problem has been corrected, clear the display by  
entering your code and pressing the OF F key.  
Fire Display Lock

Recommendations For Smoke And Heat Detectors  
With regard to the number and placement of smoke/heat detectors,  
we subscribe to the recommendations contained in the National Fire  
Protection Association's (NFPA) Standard #72 noted below.  
Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation  
of fire detection equipment in all rooms and areas of the  
household as follows: For minimum protection a smoke detector  
should be installed outside of each separate sleeping area, and  
on each additional floor of a multi-floor family living unit,  
including basements. The installation of smoke detectors in  
kitchens, attics (finished or unfinished), or in garages is not  
normally recommended.  
For additional protection the NFPA recommends that you install heat  
or smoke detectors in the living room, dining room, bedroom(s),  
kitchen, hallway(s), attic, furnace room, utility and storage rooms,  
basements and attached garages.

In a d d ition , w e r ecom m en d th e follow in g:  
• Install a smoke detector inside every bedroom where a smoker  
sleeps.  
• Install a smoke detector inside every bedroom where someone  
sleeps with the door partly or completely closed. Smoke could be  
blocked by the closed door. Also, an alarm in the hallway outside  
may not wake up the sleeper if the door is closed.  
• Install  
a
smoke detector inside bedrooms where electrical  
appliances (such as portable heaters, air conditioners or  
humidifiers) are used.  
• Install a smoke detector at both ends of a hallway if the hallway is  
more than 40 feet (12 meters) long.  
• Install smoke detectors in any room where an alarm control is  
located, or in any room where alarm control connections to an AC  
source or phone lines are made. If detectors are not so located, a fire  
within the room could prevent the control from reporting a fire or  
an intrusion.  
– 64 –  
 
Recommendations For Proper Protection (cont’d)  
Recommendations For Proper Intrusion Protection  
For proper intrusion coverage, sensors should be located at every  
possible point of entry to a home or commercial premises. This would  
include any skylights that may be present, and the upper windows in  
a multi-level building.  
In addition, we recommend that radio backup be used in a security  
system so that alarm signals can still be sent to the alarm monitoring  
station in the event that the telephone lines are out of order (alarm  
signals are normally sent over the phone lines, if connected to an  
alarm monitoring station).  
– 65 –  
 
Emergency Evacuation  
Establish and regularly practice a plan of escape in the event of fire. The following  
steps are recommended by the National Fire Protection Association:  
1. Position your detector or your interior and/or exterior sounders so  
that they can be heard by all occupants.  
2. Determine two means of escape from each room. One path of  
escape should lead to the door that permits normal exit from the  
building. The other may be a window, should your path be  
impassable. Station an escape ladder at such windows if there is a  
long drop to the ground.  
3. Sketch a floor plan of the building. Show windows, doors, stairs  
and rooftops that can be used to escape. Indicate escape routes for  
each room. Keep these routes free from obstruction and post  
copies of the escape routes in every room.  
4. Assure that all bedroom doors are shut while you are asleep. This  
will prevent deadly smoke from entering while you escape.  
5. Try the door. If the door is hot, check your alternate escape route.  
If the door is cool, open it cautiously. Be prepared to slam the door  
if smoke or heat rushes in.  
6. Where smoke is present, crawl on the ground; do not walk  
upright. Smoke rises and may overcome you. Clearer air is near  
the floor.  
7. Escape quickly; don't panic.  
8. Establish a common meeting place outdoors, away from your  
house, where everyone can meet and then take steps to contact  
the authorities and account for those missing. Choose someone to  
assure that nobody returns to the house — many die going back.

Maintaining Your System  
Taking Care of Your System  
The components of your security system are designed to be as free of  
maintenance as possible. However, there are some things you can do  
to make sure that your system is in reliable working condition.  
1. Test your system weekly.  
2. Test the system after any alarm occurs (see TESTING THE  
SYSTEM).  
Replacing Batteries in Wireless Sensors  
Wireless sensors  
may not have  
been used in your  
security system  
Each wireless sensor in your system has a 9-volt or 3-volt battery. The  
system detects a low battery in any wireless sensor, including smoke  
detectors, the optional personal emergency transmitter, and the  
optional portable wireless keypad. (A low battery in a portable  
wireless keypad is detected as soon as one of its keys is pressed, and  
the keypad will display 00.)  
Alkaline batteries provide a minimum of 1 year of operation, and in  
most units and applications, provide 2–4 years of service. Actual  
battery life will depend on the environment in which the sensor is  
used, the number of signals that the transmitter in the sensor has had  
to send, and the specific type of sensor. Factors such as humidity,  
high or low temperatures or large swings in temperature, may all lead  
to the reduction of actual battery life in an installation.  
If you h a ve a low b a tter y in a w ir eless sen sor , a low b a tter y  
m essa ge is d isp la yed on th e k eyp a d .  
In addition, a battery-operated smoke detector with a low battery also  
emits a single "chirp" sound once approximately every 20-30 seconds,  
identifying itself as the smoke detector with the weak battery. If you  
do not replace a smoke detector's low battery, the smoke detector may  
sound continuously, as if there were a fire alarm.  
– 67 –  
 
Maintaining Your System (cont’d)  
Note: The low battery message comes on as a warning that battery  
replacement in indicated sensor(s) is due within 30 days. In the  
meantime, the sensor(s) causing the low battery indication is still  
fully operational.  
Im p or ta n t: Use only batteries recommended by your installer as  
replacement.  
Silencing Low Battery Warning Tones at the Keypad  
The keypads warning tones can be silenced by performing an OFF  
sequence (code plus OFF key), but the Keypad's low battery message  
display will remain on as a reminder that you have a low battery  
condition in one or more of your sensors. When you replace the weak  
battery with a fresh one, the sensor will send a "good battery" signal  
to the control as soon as the sensor is activated (opening/closing of  
door, window, etc.), causing the low battery display to turn off. If the  
sensor is not activated, the display will automatically clear within  
approximately 1 hour.  
Routine Care  
• Treat the components of your security system as you would any  
other electrical equipment. Do not slam sensor-protected doors or  
windows.  
• Keep dust from accumulating on the keypad and all protective

Glossary  
The following terms are used throughout the manual.  
ARM/DISARM:  
“Armed” simply means that the burglary portion of your  
system is turned ON and is in a state of readiness.  
Disarmed” means that the burglary system is turned OFF,  
and must be rearmed to become operational. However,  
even in a disarmed” state, emergency” and fire” portions  
of your system are still operational.  
KE YP AD:  
This is the area on your Keypad containing numbered  
pushbuttons similar to those on telephones or calculators.  
These keys control the arming or disarming of the system,  
and perform other functions which were previously  
described in this manual.  
ZONE :  
A specific area of protection.  
P ARTITION:  
An independent group of zones that can be armed and  
disarmed without affecting other zones or users.  
BYP ASS:  
To disarm a specific area of burglary protection while  
leaving other areas operational.  
DE LAY ZONE :  
An area of protection containing doors most frequently  
used to enter or exit (typically, a front door, back door, or  
door from the garage into the building). The delay zone  
allows sufficient time for authorized entry or exit without  
causing an alarm. Consult your installer for the entry and  
exit delay times that have been set for your system during  
installation and record them on the separate sheet  
provided in this manual.  
DAY/NIGH T ZONE : An area of protection whose violation causes a trouble  
indication during the disarmed (DAY) mode and an alarm

“FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION (FCC) Part 15 STATEMENT”  
This equipment has been tested to FCC requirements and has been found acceptable for use. The FCC  
requires the following statement for your information:  
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and if not installed and used properly, that is,  
in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, may cause interference to radio and television  
reception. It has been type tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B computing device in  
accordance with the specifications in Part 15 of FCC Rules, which are designed to provide reasonable  
protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that  
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference to radio or  
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged  
to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:  
If using an indoor antenna, have a quality outdoor antenna installed.  
Reorient the receiving antenna until interference is reduced or eliminated.  
Move the receiver away from the control/communicator.  
Move the antenna leads away from any wire runs to the control/communicator.  
Plug the control/communicator into a different outlet so that it and the receiver are on different  
branch circuits.  
If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional  
suggestions.  
The user or installer may find the following booklet prepared by the Federal Communications Commission  
helpful: “Interference Handbook”  
This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402.  
The user shall not make any changes or modifications to the equipment unless authorized by the  
Installation Instructions or User’s Manual. Unauthorized changes or modifications could void the user’s  
authority to operate the equipment.  
IN THE EVENT OF TELEPHONE OPERATIONAL PROBLEMS  
In the event of telephone operational problems, disconnect the control by removing the plug from the  
RJ31X (CA38A in Canada) telephone wall jack. We recommend that your certified installer demonstrate  
disconnecting the phones on installation of the system. Do not disconnect the phone connection inside the  
control/communicator. Doing so will result in the loss of your phone lines. If the regular phone works  
correctly after the control/communicator has been disconnected from the phone lines, the  
control/communicator has a problem and should be returned for repair. If upon disconnection of the  
control/communicator, there is still a problem on the line, notify the telephone company that they have a  
problem and request prompt repair service. The user may not under any circumstances (in or out of  
warranty) attempt any service or repairs to the system. It must be returned to the factory or an authorized  
service agency for all repairs.

WARNING!  
THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS ALARM SYSTEM  
While this system is an advanced design security system, it does not offer guaranteed protection against  
burglary or fire or other emergency. Any alarm system, whether commercial or residential, is subject to  
compromise or failure to warn for a variety of reasons. For example:  
• Intruders may gain access through unprotected openings or have the technical sophistication to bypass  
an alarm sensor or disconnect an alarm warning device.  
• Intrusion detectors (e.g. passive infrared detectors), smoke detectors, and many other sensing devices  
will not work without power. Battery operated devices will not work without batteries, with dead batteries,  
or if the batteries are not put in properly. Devices powered solely by AC will not work if their AC power  
supply is cut off for any reason, however briefly.  
• Signals sent by wireless transmitters may be blocked or reflected by metal before they reach the alarm  
receiver. Even if the signal path has been recently checked during a weekly test, blockage can occur if a  
metal object is moved into the path.  
• A user may not be able to reach a panic or emergency button quickly enough.  
• While smoke detectors have played a key role in reducing residential fire deaths in the United States,  
they may not activate or provide early warning for a variety of reasons in as many as 35% of all fires,  
according to data published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Some of the reasons  
smoke detectors used in conjunction with this System may not work are as follows. Smoke detectors may  
have been improperly installed and positioned. Smoke detectors may not sense fires that start where  
smoke cannot reach the detectors, such as in chimneys, in walls, or roofs, or on the other side of closed  
doors. Smoke detectors also may not sense a fire on another level of a residence or building. A second  
floor detector, for example, may not sense a first floor or basement fire. Moreover, smoke detectors have  
sensing limitations. No smoke detector can sense every kind of fire every time. In general, detectors may  
not always warn about fires caused by carelessness and safety hazards like smoking in bed, violent  
explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits,  
children playing with matches, or arson. Depending upon the nature of the fire and/or the locations of the  
smoke detectors, the detector, even if it operates as anticipated, may not provide sufficient warning to  
allow all occupants to escape in time to prevent injury or death.  
• Passive Infrared Motion Detectors can only detect intrusion within the designed ranges as diagrammed in  
their installation manual. Passive Infrared Detectors do not provide volumetric area protection. They do  
create multiple beams of protection, and intrusion can only be detected in unobstructed areas covered by  
those beams. They cannot detect motion or intrusion that takes place behind walls, ceilings, floors,  
closed doors, glass partitions, glass doors, or windows. Mechanical tampering, masking, painting or  
spraying of any material on the mirrors, windows or any part of the optical system can reduce their  
detection ability. Passive Infrared Detectors sense changes in temperature; however, as the ambient  
temperature of protected area approaches the temperature range of 90° to 105°F, the detection  
performance can decrease.  
– 76 –  
 
WARNING!  
THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS ALARM SYSTEM  
(continued)  
• Alarm warning devices such as sirens, bells or horns may not alert people or wake up sleepers if they are  
located on the other side of closed or partly open doors. If warning devices sound on a different level of  
the residence from the bedrooms, then they are less likely to waken or alert people inside the bedrooms.  
Even persons who are awake may not hear the warning if the alarm is muffled from a stereo, radio, air  
conditioner or other appliance, or by passing traffic. Finally, alarm warning devices, however loud, may  
not warn hearing-impaired people or waken deep sleepers.  
• Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premises to a central monitoring station may be  
out of service or temporarily out of service. Telephone lines are also subject to compromise by  
sophisticated intruders.  
• Even if the system responds to the emergency as intended, however, occupants may have insufficient  
time to protect themselves from the emergency situation. In the case of a monitored alarm system,  
authorities may not respond appropriately.  
• This equipment, like other electrical devices, is subject to component failure. Even though this equipment  
is designed to last as long as 10 years, the electronic components could fail at any time.  
The most common cause of an alarm system not functioning when an intrusion or fire occurs is inadequate  
maintenance. This alarm system should be tested weekly to make sure all sensors and transmitters are  
working properly.  
Installing an alarm system may make one eligible for lower insurance rates, but an alarm system is not a  
substitute for insurance. Homeowners, property owners and renters should continue to act prudently in  
protecting themselves and continue to insure their lives and property.  
We continue to develop new and improved protection devices. Users of alarm systems owe it to themselves  
and their loved ones to learn about these developments.
