Burglary System Overview

Basic Features

Partitions • Partitions provide three independent areas of protection, with each partition containing a group of

zones that can be armed and disarmed without affecting other zones or users.

• Partitioned systems can include a common area, which is an area shared by users of two other

partitions (such as a lobby in a building).

• Some users may be given the authority to view status and arm/disarm other partitions.

• See Accessing Other Partitions section for details.

Zones • Each partition consists of specific protection points known as zones.

• When a zone is faulted, its zone number is displayed on the keypad for easy identification.

Keypads • The system is controlled from the keypad, and the keypad displays system status.

• Each keypad is assigned a default partition for display purposes, and will show only that partition's

information.

• When entering codes and commands, sequential key depressions must be made within 4-5 seconds of

one another. If 4-5 seconds elapse without a key depression, the entry will be aborted and must be

repeated from its beginning.

• If you make a mistake while entering a security code, stop, press the [∗] key, and then start over. If you

stop in the middle while entering a code, and then immediately start the entry over, an erroneous code

might be entered.

Keypad Lockout: The system may have been programmed to lockout the keypads for 15 minutes if

more than 30 keystrokes (within a 15 minute period) are made without a valid user code plus

command being entered. The message “Code Sabotage” is displayed during the lockout period.

Voice Keypads • Voice Keypads (if installed), are functionally the same as other keypads.

• Voice announcements of system status (see Before Arming section)

• Voice chime, which can alert you to the opening of doors and windows while the system is disarmed

(see Voice Chime in Chime mode section)

• Message center, which lets you record and playback messages (see Using the Voice Message Center in

the System Overview section).

Security Codes • Your installer assigned you a security code at the time of installation. This code is required to perform

most system functions.

• Each security code can have a different authority level which defines the functions each user can

perform. Refer to the Security Code section for details on adding and changing security codes.

Arm/Disarm • You can arm your system in several different modes, depending on whether you are staying in or

leaving the premises.

• To arm the system, simply enter your security code followed by the desired arming mode key.

• To disarm the system, enter your security code followed by [1] OFF.

• Refer to the Arming/Disarming sections for specific arming commands.

Exit/Entry Delays

Exit Delay • When you arm the system, the system gives you a programmed amount of time to leave through the

designated exit door and/or certain other zones (if programmed) without setting off an alarm.

• A slow beeping, if programmed, will sound during the exit delay period until the last 10 seconds, which

then changes to fast beeping.

• If programmed, the keypad displays a countdown of the number of seconds of exit delay remaining.

• When exit delay expires, all zones become protected and cause an alarm if opened.

• Your system may have been programmed such that exit delay remains in effect until a final zone (e.g.

exit door) has been closed for five seconds. Ask your installer.

Exit Delay •

••

• Press the [∗

∗∗

∗] key if armed in STAY mode to restart the exit delay timer.

Restart • This gives you time to open the entry/exit door to let someone in after arming STAY. The system

(if programmed) automatically re-arms when exit delay expires, which avoids having to disarm the system and then

re-arm it again.

• When the system is armed AWAY, reopening and closing the entry/exit door before exit delay time

expires (e.g., reentering to get a forgotten item) will restart the exit delay time.

Entry Delay • Gives you time to disarm the system when you re-enter through the designated entrance door. You must

disarm the system before the entry delay period ends, or an alarm will occur.

• See your installer for your delay times.
