HOW TO ARM YOUR SECURITY SYSTEM
To Arm the security system, close all of the protected doors and windows. The green "READY"
light on the keypad control will be illuminated when all of the protected zones and sensors are
secure. If any of the zones are bypassed, a sensor in that zone can be violated without affecting
the "READY" light. The security system will not arm if the "READY" light is not illuminated. With
the "READY" light on, you may arm the security system with your Master Code or one of the
Auxiliary codes.
Each time a key is pressed on the keypad control, a short tone (beep) will sound. If the keypad
beeps three times after a code entry, or it does not arm, it is an indication that the code has not
been accepted. Press the [#] key to reset, and re-enter a valid code. If an error is made during
code entry, press [#] key and re-enter the code.
If the keypad control beeps continuously after code entry, it is an indication that; (1) the
"POWER" light is off, meaning there is no AC power to your system; or (2) a faulted fire zone.
The keypad sounder can be silenced by re-entering your four digit code. If the "POWER" light
is off, you should restore power to the system if possible. If you are unable to correct the above
conditions, you should contact the installing company listed on page 1 of this booklet for
service.
When the security system has accepted a valid code, the red "ARMED" light will illuminate
indicating that the system has been turned on. If you choose to leave the protected area, you
must exit through a designated exit door within the exit delay time noted on page 1. If you
choose to stay within the protected area, insure that all interior zones which may be tripped by
your movement are bypassed.
HOW TO DISARM YOUR SECURITY SYSTEM
When you enter the protected area through one of the designated entry/exit doors, the keypad
control will sound a continuous tone (beep) for the duration of the entry delay time, or until you
enter a valid code. After a valid code has been entered, the red "ARMED" light will turn off, and
the tone will stop. The security system is now DISARMED. If a valid code is not entered before
the end of the entry delay time, an alarm will occur. (NOTE: IF THE RED "ARMED" LIGHT IS
FLASHING DURING THE ENTRY DELAY, THE ALARM SYSTEM HAS BEEN ACTIVATED IN
YOUR ABSENCE. LEAVE THE BUILDING IMMEDIATELY AND CALL YOUR ALARM
COMPANY AND/OR THE POLICE FROM A SAFE LOCATION.)
HOW TO BYPASS ZONES
When zones are open or unsecured, their corresponding LEDs will flash. To bypass any of the
zones, press [
r
], zone number(s) to be bypassed, and [
r
]. When bypassed, corresponding zone
LEDs will be on steady. Zones cannot be bypassed or unbypassed while the control is in the
armed state. Upon disarming, all bypassed zones will be unbypassed. As bypassed zones are
not protected, the bypass procedure should only be given to authorized persons.
QUICK-ARM FEATURE
If checked, your security system has a "QUICK ARM" code programmed. This feature will allow
you to arm the security system by pressing one, pre-designated key on the keypad control. This
"QUICK ARM" code is for
ARMING ONLY, and will not disarm the Security System. This makes
it ideal for a maid code, babysitter code, etc. This code can only be programmed and/or
changed by your installing company.
