System Overview
– 5 –
General
This system offers you three forms of protection: burglary, fire and emergency. Your
system may consist of at least one keypad which provides full control of system
operation, various sensors such as motion detectors and door and window sensing
devices, plus a selected number of strategically placed smoke or combustion detectors
designed to provide early warning in case of fire. Your system may also have been
programmed to automatically transmit alarm or status messages over the phone
lines to a central alarm monitoring station.
Keypads
All system functions are controlled by your keypad(s). The keypads feature a
telephone style (digital) keypad and a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) which shows the
nature and location of all occurrences. Their built-in sounder will sound during alarm
and trouble conditions.
For additional information, see the following section:
ABOUT THE KEYPAD.
Zones
Your system's sensing devices have been assigned to various zones. For example, the
sensing device on your Entry/Exit door may have been assigned to zone 01, sensing
devices on windows in the master bedroom to zone 02, and so on. These zone numbers
will appear on the display when an alarm or trouble condition occurs.
Alarms
When an alarm occurs, both the keypad and external sounders will sound, and a mes-
sage at the keypad will identify the zone(s) causing the alarm. In addition, if your
system is connected to a central monitoring station, an alarm message will be sent.
To stop the alarm sounding, you simply disarm the system.
