About Your Security System
Your Security System has been designed to provide you with the greatest possible flexibility and con-
venience. Read this manual carefully and have your installer instruct you on your system's operation
and on which features have been implemented in your system. All users of this system should be
equally instructed in its use. Fill out the “System Information” page with all of your zone information
and access codes and store this manual in a safe place for future reference.
NOTE: The Self Contained Wireless Security System includes specific false alarm reduction fea-
tures and is classified in accordance with ANSI/ SIA CP-01-2000 Control Panel Standard - Fea-
tures for False Alarm Reduction. Please consult your installer for further information regarding
the false alarm reduction features built into your system as all are not covered in this manual.
Fire Detection
This equipment is capable of monitoring fire detection devices such as smoke detectors and provid-
ing a warning if a fire condition is detected. Good fire detection depends on having adequate num-
ber of detectors placed in appropriate locations. This equipment should be installed in accordance
with NFPA 72 (N.F.P.A., Battery march Park, Quince MA 02269). Carefully review the Family Escape
Planning guidelines in this manual.
NOTE: Your installer must enable the fire detection portion of this equipment before it becomes
functional.
Testing
To ensure that your system continues to function as intended, you must test your system weekly.
Please refer to the “Testing your System” section in this manual. If your system does not function
properly, call your installing company for service.
Monitoring
This system is capable of transmitting alarms, troubles & emergency information to a central station. If you
initiate an alarm by mistake, immediately call the central station to prevent an unnecessary response.
NOTE: The monitoring function must be enabled by the installer before it becomes functional.
NOTE: This system has a communicator delay of 30 seconds. It can be removed, or it can be in-
creased up to 45 seconds by the installer.
Maintenance
With normal use, the system requires minimum maintenance. Note the following points:
• Do not wash the security equipment with a wet cloth. Light dusting with a slightly moistened cloth
should remove normal accumulations of dust.
• DSC recommends replacing the standby batteries every 4-5 years.
• For other system devices such as smoke detectors, motion detectors, glassbreak detectors or door/
window contacts, consult the manufacturer’s literature for testing and maintenance instructions if
applicable.
General System Operation
Your security system comprises an integrated alarm control/keypad and various sensors and detec-
tors. The system is mounted by the main exit/entry location. The system is self-contained; electronics
and standby battery are housed within the keypad unit.
NOTE: Only the installer or service professional should have access to the system.
The security system has several zones of area protection. Each of these zones communicates to a sin-
gle wireless sensor (motion detectors, glassbreak detectors, door contacts, etc.) or to one or more
hard wired sensors. A sensor in alarm is indicated by messages on the LCD keypad.
Additional features include: Automatic Inhibit (Swinger Shutdown) for Alarm; Tamper and Trouble
signals after 3 occurrences in a given set period; and a Programmable Keypad Lockout option.
NOTE: For SIA CP-01 classified installations, the swinger shutdown feature is programmed such
that one or two trips will shut down the zone. The zone will be restored after a manual reset (by
entering the access code at the time of disarming the alarm system) or it will be reset automatically
after 48 hrs with no trips on any zones.
