Arming & Disarming Burglary Protection 

  The system must be armed before the burglary protection can sense intrusions. 

 

  To arm your system, enter your security code followed by the desired arming mode key.

 

  To disarm the system, enter your user code then press the 

OFF

 

key.

 

 

Alarms 

  When an alarm occurs, both the keypad and external sounder will sound, and the keypad will 

display the zone(s) causing the alarm 

  An alarm message will also be sent to our monitoring station. 

  To stop the alarm from sounding, and to cancel the police response, simply disarm the 

system.  A “Cancel Alarm” signal will be sent to our monitoring station.  

 

Memory of Alarm 

  When an alarm condition occurs, the keypad displays the number(s) of the zone(s) that 

caused the problem, and displays the type of alarm (e.g. 

01 ALARM

 

FIRE

 or 

05 Alarm

 for a 

burglary.)

 

 

The message remains displayed even after disarming the system. To clear the memory, enter 
your security code into the keypad and select 

OFF

 again.

 

  

Phone Access 

  If included, a phone Module permits you to access the system via a touch-tone phone, either 

on-premises or by calling-in when away.

 

  You can receive synthesized voice messages over the telephone regarding the status of the 

security system

 

  You can arm and disarm the system and perform most function commands remotely via the 

telephone, with voice confirmation provided after each command.

 

  Refer to the 

Phone Access User’s Guide 

supplied with the Phone Module for information 

regarding the use of this feature.

 

 

Functions of the Keypads 

NOTE: 

The numbers printed boldly directly on the keys indicate their primary purpose; the functions 

printed smaller on the keys indicate their alternate or secondary purpose. 

 

Primary Purpose of Number Keys 

KEYS 0-9:

 

Used to enter your security code(s) and to perform their associated system function 
after the security code has been entered.  

 

Secondary Purpose of Number Keys 

 1 

OFF

  

Disarms burglary portion of the system, silences alarms and audible trouble indicators, 
and clears visual display after problem’s correction 

 2

Arms the entire burglary system, perimeter and interior. 
 

 3 

STAY

   

Arms perimeter portion of burglary system only. Interior protection is not armed, 
allowing movement within premises without causing an alarm. If pressed twice in 
succession and your system is set up for Night-Stay Mode arming, your alarm will be 
armed in Night-Stay mode.
