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.
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 beep 6
times. 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.
The factory setting for the Exit Delay is 120 seconds; 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.
Disarming Your System
Enter the premises through the designated Entry-Exit door. The keypad will sound a constant tone to
indicate that the system must be disarmed.
Go to the keypad and enter an Access Code. If an error is made entering the code, press the [#] Key and
enter the code again.
When a correct Access Code is entered, the “Armed” light will be shut OFF, and the sounder will be
silenced - your system is now disarmed.
An Access Code must be entered before the Entry Delay expires or an alarm will sound. The factory
setting for the Entry Delay is 30 seconds; your installer may change this time to suit your needs.
If an alarm occurred while the system was armed, the “System” light and the Zone Lights of the zones
that went into alarm will FLASH for two minutes. Press the [#] Key to cancel the flashing display and
return the keypad to the “Ready” mode. Refer to “Display Alarm Memory” for instructions on displaying
the zones that went into alarm.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you return to the premises and find that an alarm is in progress or that there
are alarms in memory, do not enter the premises as an intruder may be present. Go to a neighbour
and contact the local authorities from there.
