Getting to Know Your Security System
Your security system is made up of different parts. Each plays a special role in the system’s operation. The panel is at the
heart of your system. It stores the intelligence to monitor all the sensors and devices in the system. The panel is the
piece of equipment that activates sirens and initiates a call to the central station in an alarm situation. Touchpads are
used to arm, disarm, and program your system. Keychain touchpads are also wireless and are handy for simple arming
and disarming functions. Keychain touchpads can be carried off-site. Door and window sensors protect the perimeter of
your home by alerting the panel when a door or window is opened. Motion detectors in hallways or rooms detect a
person moving across the field of detection. Environmental sensors such as smoke and heat detectors remain alert for
the presence of fire or carbon monoxide 24 hours a day.
Arming and Disarming the System
Arming Your System
Since your security needs may vary throughout the day, the system was designed with three arming levels. By arming
your system to a particular level, only those sensors programmed to detect in that arming level will report alarms.
Level 1 - OFF
Use Level 1 when intrusion detection is not necessary. For example, on an active Saturday morning—kids playing inside
and out; someone working in the garage; various house projects going on. Even though Level 1 disarms the system, your
system continues to monitor for fire, smoke, carbon monoxide, and/or panic alarms if your system has these devices
installed. Here are some other situations in which you’d set the system to Level 1 - OFF:
Upon entering your armed home or business.
When entering the armed premises through a designated delay
door, the entry delay time begins. Entry Delay beeps remind you to disarm the system.
Before opening a door or window while inside or outside the armed home or business.
When you wake up in
the morning and want to get your newspaper, you must disarm the system before opening the door to prevent
an accidental alarm.
To stop sirens and cancel an alarm.
When an alarm condition occurs, disarming the system turns off any sirens.
To disarm to Level 1—OFF using a touchpad:
1.
Press [1]. Touchpads display “Enter Code.”
