INSTALLATION
wiring is correct, and also check the Keypad/Auxiliary Supply fuse. If the fuse is open, check for a short between
the Keypad’s red and black leads before replacing the fuse.
Installing the Battery
If the Keypad responds normally when AC power is applied, connect the battery with the red lead to the positive
battery post and black lead to the negative battery post. Use the chart below to determine the required battery size
to achieve a 24-hour stand-by time. Note that the VAUX Load is the current drawn by detectors and other devices;
do not include Keypads in the VAUX Load figure.
Testing the System
Contact the monitoring station to request a transmission test. Arm the panel, wait for the Exit Delay to expire, and
then trip a detector on an instant circuit. Wait for the communication to complete, disarm panel, and check with the
monitoring station to confirm the transmission.

Check the Keypad’s display. If it indicates a trouble condition, follow the directions on the display to determine if
there is a system trouble. Trouble conditions are described in the Instruction Manual in Modes 02 and 09.
After testing, program the Exit Delay, Entry Delay and Bell/Siren Cut-off times to the desired values. Also, activate
any other features that are to be used.
Instructing the End User
Describe the system and its operation to an authorised user. Be sure to describe arming and disarming, all
enabled Keypad functions, bell or siren signals and the location of all protected areas. Assist the user in working
through examples of each type of command enabled on their system.
Provide users with the Instruction Manual and explain the importance of reading the manual and becoming familiar
with all aspects of system operation. Demonstrate how to test the system, and inform the user of their
responsibility to test the system on a regular basis.
It is also important that the end user be aware of the causes of false alarms, as most false alarms are due to a
user’s unfamiliarity with their system. The user should be made aware that false alarms are a nuisance, and that
repetitive false alarms may lead the local authorities to stop responding to alarms from their system.
GUIDELINES FOR LOCATING SMOKE DETECTORS
Experience has shown that all hostile fires in family living units generate smoke to a greater or lesser extent.
Experiments using typical fires in family living units indicate that detectable quantities of smoke precede detectable
