BASIC OPERATION
Arming Your System
Before arming the system, close all protected doors and windows, and stop movement in areas protected
by motion detectors. When all zones are closed, all of the Zone Lights on the keypad will be OFF, and the
“Ready” light will be ON.
The system cannot be armed unless the “Ready” light is ON. If the “Ready”
light will not come ON even when all zones are closed, contact your Installer for assistance.
To arm the system, enter a 4-digit Access Code. As each digit is entered, the keypad sounder will beep.
When the Access Code has been entered, the “Armed” light will come ON and the keypad will sound
several beeps. If an incorrect Access Code is entered, the keypad will sound a single long tone. To
correct a mistake when entering a code, press the [#] Key and enter the Access Code again.
When the “Armed” light comes ON, leave the premises through the designated Entry-Exit door before the
Exit Delay expires. At the end of the Exit Delay, all lights on the keypad will be shut OFF except for the
“Armed” light - your system is now armed.
If you require a longer or shorter Exit Delay time, your installer may change this time to suit your needs.
Refer to the “Arming Options” section of this manual for information on other arming functions.
The LCD600 Keypad will display messages while you arm your system. Refer to Page 17
for instructions on arming your system with the LCD600 Keypad.
Tamper Alarms
If this feature is enabled on your system, keypad sounder or bell will sound when the wiring on any zone is
tampered with. This alarm will sound whether the system is armed or disarmed. If any zone goes into alarm
for no apparent reason, contact your installer for assistance.
Smoke Detector and Fire Alarm Reset
If the Fire Alarm sounds at night, do not investigate the alarm: follow your evacuation plan immediately. Go to
a neighbour and call the fire brigade.
When a Fire Alarm is generated, the bell or siren will sound with a pulsing tone. Transmission of the fire alarm
to your monitoring station is delayed for 30 seconds to allow you to cancel possible false alarms. To silence
the alarm, press the [#] Key. When the [#] Key is pressed, the system will delay transmission of the fire alarm
for an additional 90 seconds. The 90-second delay is intended to allow you to reset the smoke detectors after
a false alarm.
If the smoke detector is reset and remains reset after the 90-second delay, a fire alarm will not be transmitted
to the monitoring station.
If the smoke detector is reset but goes into alarm again after the 90-second delay, the fire alarm will sound again
and the process described above will repeat. A fire alarm will be transmitted to your monitoring station after
30 seconds if it is not silenced by pressing the [#] Key.
Smoke detectors installed on your system may be reset after a false alarm using the [
∗
][4] command. To reset
smoke detectors to normal, first clear all products of combustion from the detectors. Press [
∗
] then hold down
the [4] Key for several seconds. If the detectors are clear of smoke, they will return to normal. If the detectors
still have smoke in them, the alarm will sound again. If the alarm sounds again, first ensure that there is no threat
of fire; you may then silence the alarm and reset the smoke detectors.
An immediate fire alarm signal and transmission may be generated by holding down the [F] Key for 2 seconds.
The LCD600 Keypad will display messages while you reset smoke detectors. Refer to
Page 18 for instructions on resetting smoke detectors with the LCD600 Keypad.

USING THE LCD600 KEYPAD
Arming the System with the LCD600 Keypad
This message will be displayed when all zones are secure and the system
is ready to be armed. To arm the system, enter an Access Code.
This message will be if zones are bypassed or if there are trouble conditions
present. The system may be armed with bypassed zones or with trouble
conditions present, but protection of the premises will be affected. Refer to
Bypassing Zones and Displaying Trouble Conditions for instructions on how
to view bypassed zones and trouble conditions. To arm the system, enter
an Access Code.
This message will be displayed if zones are open. Press the [<] or [>] Key
to display a list of open zones. Secure or bypass any open zones before
arming the system; refer to Bypassing Zones for instructions on bypassing
zones.
This message will be displayed when an Access Code is entered to arm the
system. Leave the premises through the Entry-Exit Zone before the Exit
Delay expires.
When the Exit Delay expires, this message will be displayed and the system
will be armed.
Arming with Bypassed Zones or Trouble Conditions
This message will be displayed when you arm the system with bypassed
zones. Refer to Bypassing Zones for instructions on bypassing zones.
Always ensure that bypassed zones are bypassed intentionally!
This message will be displayed if the system is armed with one or more
trouble conditions present. Refer to Displaying Trouble Conditions for
instructions on how to display trouble conditions.
Your system may be armed with trouble conditions present, but be
aware that the protection provided by your system may be reduced!
