DESTINY
You have made a wise decision to protect your family
and property with the DESTINY Security System. The
DESTINY has been designed to provide you with a
maximum level of security while being as simple as
possible to understand and operate.
Your DESTINY
Security System consists of:
1.
Control panel
2.
Detection devices
3.
Your telephones
4.
Keypad(s)
CONTROL PANEL
The control panel is the heart of the security system and
includes a communicator which transmits information to
the central station. The control panel is housed in a metal
cabinet which should only be opened by a qualified
security system technician.
DETECTION DEVICES
The detection devices continually monitor the status of
the premises.
Switches
will alert the control panel of an
open door or window. A
transmitter
will do the same as
well as indicate when it has a weak battery. The
glass
break detector
is exactly what the name implies: it picks
up the frequency of breaking glass and instantly alerts
the control panel. A
motion detector
is used as a second
line of defense to detect intruders within a protected
area. The
smoke detector
is always on.
TELEPHONE KEYPADS
Your phones and keypads are used to send commands to
your security system. Because your phones and keypads
are your access to operating the security system, the main
emphasis of this users manual is to help you understand
their operation.
Before reading this manual, it is recommended that you
become familiar with the terms and definitions in the
Glossary.

RESETTING AN ACTIVATED SMOKE
DETECTOR
Whenever any of your wired (non-battery powered)
smoke detectors activate the system, they will latch ON
until you reset them. To do so, enter your primary code
followed by
6
. The system will say SMOKE POWER.
REMOTE PHONE ACCESS
You can gain access to the system from any touch-tone
phone when you are away from home. If you use an
answering machine, your installer will program an
override digit which you will use to bypass the answering
machine and get directly into the system.
Following is a step-by-step description of phone access:
1. Dial your home number from any touch-tone phone.
2. The system will answer after a programmed number
of rings and you will hear an acknowledgment tone
that your system is ready and waiting. If you have an
answering machine, wait for it to answer, then press
the programmed override digit
within
10 seconds
and you will then hear the acknowledgment tone
indicating that your system is ready and waiting.
3. You must now enter your disarm code and the system
will speak your system status. If you do not enter an
acceptable code within 5 seconds of the tone you
heard in Step 2, the system will automatically hang up.
4. Now that you have entered your code and have
received the system status, your telephone can be
used as a keypad. To hear the status of your system
again, press the first digit of your disarm code and
wait three seconds. The system status will be
repeated through your telephone receiver.
To disarm the system over the phone, simply enter your
disarm code on the telephone keypad. To arm the
system, use the
*
key to arm to AWAY or use the
#
key to
arm to HOME. Once you have finished, simply hang up
the phone and the system will hang up at the other end. If
you do not press any digits for a period of 15 seconds,
the system will automatically hang up.
NOTE:
Your installer can increase or decrease this time.
