SYSTEM OVERVIEW
This manual is a step-by-step guide that will acquaint you with the system's
features and benefits. It defines the components and their functions,
describes their operation, and provides clear step-by-step instructions for
normal and emergency procedures. Keep this manual in a convenient place so
that you can refer to it as necessary.
General
Congratulations on your ownership of an ADEMCO Security System. You've
made a wise decision in choosing it, for it represents the latest in security
protection technology today, including microcomputer technology to monitor
the status of all system functions.
Basically, 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.
All system functions are controlled by your keypad(s), which are described in
the next section, ABOUT THE KEYPADS.
Burglary Protection
The burglary protection portion of your system must be turned on (armed)
before it will sense burglary alarm conditions and sound an alarm. Your
system can be armed in one of four modes: STAY, AWAY, INSTANT, and
MAXIMUM. Refer to the ARMING sections for instructions in using these
modes of operation.
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 06, and the sensing devices on windows in the master bedroom
assigned to zone 10. These zone numbers will appear on the display when an
alarm or trouble condition occurs.
