TESTING THE SYSTEM
Using the Test mode allows each detection point to be checked for proper
operation.
Testing should be conducted weekly to ensure proper
operation
.
•
The keypad sounds a single beep about every 30 seconds as a
reminder that the system is in the Test mode.
•
Alarm messages are not sent to your Central Station while Test mode is
on.
If a problem is experienced with any detection point (no confirming
sounds, no display), call for service immediately.
1.
Disarm the system and close all protected windows, doors, etc. The
READY indicator light should come on if all zones are intact
2. Enter your 4-digit Master code +
5
+
0
(walk)
3. Listen. The external sounder should sound for about 1 second then
turn off. If the sounder does not sound, CALL FOR SERVICE. The
“Test in Progress” display appears only on the keypad that started the
test.
4. Fault zones. Open each protected door and window in turn and listen
for three beeps from the keypad. Each faulted detection point should
appear on the display. The display clears when the door or window is
closed.
5. Walk in front of any interior motion detectors (if used) and listen for three
beeps. Each detector should appear on the display when it is activated.
The display clears when no motion is detected. Note that if wireless
motion detectors are used, there is a 3-minute delay between activations
to conserve battery life.
6. Test all smoke detectors, following the manufacturer's instructions.
7. When all detection points have been checked and are intact (closed),
there should be no zone numbers displayed.
8. Exit test mode: 4-digit code +

TROUBLE CONDITIONS
The word CHECK on the keypad's display, accompanied by a "beeping" at
the keypad, indicates a trouble condition in the system at the displayed

Quick Guide to User Functions
For full details of all user functions, please see the system’s User Guide. The full version User Guide is also available from your
installer upon request.
Congratulations on your ownership of a Honeywell Home Security System. This system provides:
•
Three forms of detection: burglary, fire and emergency (see your installer for which forms of detection are installed)
•
At least one keypad which provides control of system and displays system status
•
Various sensors for perimeter and interior burglary detection
•
Optional smoke or combustion detectors designed to provide early warning in case of fire.
Your system may also be programmed to automatically send alarm and status messages to a Central Monitoring Station.
SYSTEM BASICS
The following is a list of some of the most common features and
functions of your system:
•
Several modes of burglary detection: Stay, Night-Stay, Away, Instant,
Maximum.
•
Bypass feature lets you bypass selected zones while leaving the rest
of the system armed.
•
Chime mode alerts you to the opening of protected doors and
windows while the system is disarmed.
•
Fire and carbon monoxide detection are always active (if installed); an
alarm sounds if a fire or carbon monoxide condition is detected.
•
Panic keys (if programmed) let you manually initiate fire and personal
alarms using the keypad.
•
4-digit security codes are used in conjunction with keypad commands
to perform system functions.
•
Each user can be assigned a different security code, each with
different authority levels.
•
The system sensors have been assigned to various “zones,” which are
specific areas of detection (e.g., front door, kitchen window, etc.).
•
Zone numbers (points of detection) are displayed at the keypad when
an alarm or trouble condition occurs.
•
Partitions provide two independent areas of detection plus an optional
common area, with each partition containing a group of zones that can
be armed and disarmed without affecting other zones or users.
•
Function keys may have been programmed to perform various
functions. Ask your installer if these keys are active.
•
A Scheduling feature can be programmed to automatically perform
certain functions (e.g., arm the system) at a predetermined time each
day. See the full User Guide for details.
ENTRY/EXIT DELAYS
•
Entry Delays
give you time to disarm the system when you enter
through the designated entrance door.
•
You must disarm the system before the entry delay period ends, or an
alarm will occur (keypad beeps during the entry delay period,
reminding you to disarm the system).
•
Exit delay
gives you time after arming the system to leave through the
designated exit door(s) without setting off an alarm. If programmed, a
slow beeping will sound during the exit delay period until the last 10
seconds, which then changes to fast beeping (alerting you to the end
of exit delay). If you cannot leave within this delay time period, you
should stop, disarm the system, and start over to avoid a false alarm.
•
See your installer for your delay times. See the full User Guide for
details on Exit Error alarms.
NOTES on BURGLARY DETECTION
•
The system must be armed before the burglary detection can sense
intrusions.
•
To arm your system, enter your security code followed by the
desired arming key.
•
To disarm the system, enter your security code then press the OFF
key.
•
When an alarm occurs, the keypad sounds and displays the
zone(s) causing the alarm. The external sounder may also sound.
•
If your system is connected to a Central Monitoring Station, an
alarm message is also sent (delayed 30 seconds by default to
reduce false alarms).
•
To stop the alarm sounding, simply disarm the system.
•
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. Clear the Memory of Alarm display by
entering another “off” sequence.
IMPORTANT:
If you return to the premises and the
main burglary sounder is on, or the keypad beeps
rapidly upon entering the premises, it indicates that an
alarm has occurred during your absence and an
intruder may still be on the premises. LEAVE
IMMEDIATELY and CONTACT THE POLICE from a
nearby safe location.
NOTES on FIRE and CO DETECTION
•
Your fire alarm system (if installed) is on 24 hours a day, for
continuous detection. In the event of an emergency, the smoke and
heat detectors sound their alarms, triggering a loud, interrupted
pulsed sound from the Keypad(s) and any external sounders.
•
You can silence the alarm at any time by pressing the OFF key (the
security code is not needed to silence fire alarms).
•
Carbon monoxide (CO) detectors, if installed, provide continuous
detection. If a high level of carbon monoxide is detected, an
interrupted pulsed alarm sound occurs at the keypads and the
detector(s). Immediately move to a spot where fresh air is available,
preferably outdoors. From a safe area, call your security service
provider for further instructions. To silence the keypad sounding,
press the OFF key. To silence the detector, see its instructions.
