System Overview
General Information
This system provides three forms of protection: burglary, fi re, and emergency,
depending on the options set by the installer. The system consists of the
Control Panel with a color touch screen, wireless sensors that provide
perimeter and interior burglary protection, and wireless smoke and carbon
monoxide detectors. In addition, optional remote control key fobs, wireless
panic pendants, and wireless keypads may have been provided or installed.
The system monitors all protection “zones” and the system’s status. It will
display monitoring information and control the alarm siren. Your system may
also have been setup to send alarm and status reports to a Central Monitoring
Station and has the capability for 2-way voice communications with the alarm
monitoring operator.
Features
Following is a list of standard features and options that can be included in
your system. Ask your installer which options are available to you and check
the boxes that apply.
STAY and AWAY arming modes. Stay Mode arms the system perimeter only and
✓
is used typically at night when the premises are occupied. Away Mode arms the
system perimeter
and
interior; it’s used when the premises are unoccupied.
Eight user-unique 4-digit codes to operate the system. The system supports one
✓
“Master User Code” that can assign and maintain the other seven User Codes.
One of the eight User Codes functions as a Duress User Code. Controlling the system
✓
with this code gives the appearance of normal operation, but using it secretly sends a
“duress” report to the Central Monitoring Station to initiate a silent alarm call for help.
Voice announcements from the Control Panel. The system has a large vocabulary
✓
of descriptive words that can be assigned to sensors so each will have a unique
announcement such as “front door” or “baby’s room window” if desired.
Home automation with the built-in Z-Wave controller for remote
✓
controlling Z-Wave enabled home appliances (optional feature).
Alarm history with system event log. Each alarm and system alert is logged
✓
into the system’s memory. These events can be displayed and reviewed at
the Control Panel or remotely by the Central Monitoring Station.
Real time clock and calendar shows on the system’s display
✓
and is used to time stamp items in the event log.
2-way voice communication. After an alarm, the system can connect with a
❑
Central Station operator so they can converse with people in the premises.
Remote control of the system over the telephone.
❑
Remote control of the system using a Web-enabled device through the Internet.
❑
Three optional 24-hour emergency functions: PANIC, FIRE, and EMERGENCY.
❑
These functions can be activated by buttons on the Control Panel, using wireless
sensors, from the wireless keypad, or from portable pendant devices.
