To Bypass Zones:

Enter [

][1] or [

][1][Access Code]; the “Bypass” light will FLASH.

Enter the number of the zone to be bypassed; the Zone Light will come ON to indicate that the zone is
bypassed.  To remove a bypass, enter the zone number to shut its Zone Light OFF.  When all desired
zones are bypassed, press the [#] Key to return to “Ready”.

When you arm your system, the zones you have selected will be bypassed.  When arming the system with
bypassed zones, it is always a good idea to enter the [

][1][Access Code] command to review the list of

bypassed zones before entering an Access Code to arm the system.  After ensuring that the desired zones
are bypassed, press the [#] Key, and then enter an Access Code to arm the system.

The LCD600 Keypad will display messages while you bypass zones.  Refer to Page 19
for instructions on bypassing zones with the LCD600 Keypad.

Keypad Alarms

Three types of alarms may be activated by pressing and holding a single Key on the keypad.  Your
installer will inform you of how the [F], [A] and [P] Keys will operate on your system.

[F]

Press and hold the [F] Key for 2 seconds to sound an [F] Key alarm; the siren will sound with
a pulsed tone.  The keypad will sound a series of short beeps once the system has
accepted the alarm and the “Fire” light will come ON.

[A]

Press and hold the [A] Key for 2 seconds to generate an [A] Key alarm.  The siren will not
sound when this function is activated.  Your installer will inform you of how this alarm will
operate.  The keypad will sound a series of short beeps once the system has accepted the
alarm.

[P]

Press and hold the [P] Key for 2 seconds to generate a [P] Key alarm.  The alarm may be
programmed as either silent or audible; your installer will inform you of how this alarm will
operate.  If your installer has programmed this alarm to be audible, the keypad will sound a
series of short beeps once the system has accepted the alarm, and the siren will sound a
steady tone.

Utility Output Command

A special keypad command may be used to operate various devices connected to your security system.
To operate the Utility Output, enter [

][7].  Then enter [1] or [2] to select Output 1 or Output 2.  After

selecting Output 1 or 2, enter your Access Code.

When the command is entered, the keypad will sound a single tone for 5 seconds, and the Utility Output
will be activated for 5 seconds.

This command may be used to operate devices such as special lighting or door strikes.  Your installer
will inform you of how the Utility Output function is set up on your system.

TESTING AND MAINTENANCE

Bell Test

Entering this command will sound the siren and turn ON all the keypad lights for 2 seconds.  To perform a
bell test, enter [

][6][Master Code][8] on the keypad.

The LCD600 Keypad will display messages when using the Bell Test command.  Refer to
Page 22 for instructions on performing a Bell Test with the LCD600 Keypad.

Weekly Testing

It is recommended that you test your system regularly.

NOTE:

     Perform system tests in the off-peak hours, such as early morning or late evening.

1

Call to inform your monitoring station that you are testing your system.

2

Disarm the system and ensure that the “Ready” light is ON.

3

Perform a Bell Test by entering [

][6][Master Code][8].  The bell or siren will sound for 2 seconds and

all of the lights on the keypad will come ON.  If a trouble condition is indicated after the test, press
[

][2] to view the trouble condition.  Press [#] when finished viewing trouble conditions.

4

Activate each sensor on your system one at a time.  For example, open protected doors and windows,
and walk in areas protected by motion detectors.  Each Zone Light should come ON when each zone
is activated.  Each Zone Light will be shut OFF when the zone is restored to normal (when the door or
window is shut, or when motion stops in areas protected by motion detectors).

The LCD600 Keypad will display messages when zones are activated during the test.
Refer to Page 22 for instructions on testing the system with the LCD600 Keypad.

5

If they are programmed for operation, press the [F], [A], and [P] keys in turn. The [F] Key will sound the
bell or siren in a pulsed mode.  Enter an Access Code to silence the alarm.  The [A] Key is a silent
alarm; the [P] Key may be programmed as silent or audible.  If an alarm sounds, enter an Access
Code to silence the alarm.

6

If your system has a Fire Zone, activating the Fire Zone will cause the bell or siren to sound with a
pulsed tone.  

CAUTION: Do not use an open flame or burning materials to test a smoke detector.

Contact your installer for information on safe methods to activate a smoke detector.

7

Should the system fail to operate properly, call your alarm dealer for service.

8

When testing is complete, call and advise the monitoring station.

Maintenance

With normal use, your system requires a minimum of maintenance. The following points should be observed:

1

Do not wash the keypad with a wet cloth, and do not use household cleaners, such as glass cleaners,
on the keypad.  Light dusting with a cloth slightly dampened with plain water should remove normal
accumulations of dust.

2

The Bell Test is designed to test the condition of the back-up battery installed with your system.  Even
with frequent testing, it is recommended that the back-up battery be replaced every three years.
Contact your installing company for information on replacing the battery.

3

For other system devices such as passive infrared, ultrasonic or microwave motion detectors,
glassbreak detectors and other detection devices, consult the manufacturer’s literature for testing,
cleaning and maintenance instructions.
