System Overview

General

Congratulations on your ownership of an First Alert Partitioned

Security System. You've made a wise decision in choosing it, for it

represents the latest in security protection technology today. Ademco

is the world's largest manufacturer of security systems and millions of

premises are protected by First Alert systems.

This system offers you three forms of protection: burglary, fire and

emergency. To realize the system's full potential, it is important that

you feel comfortable in operating it. Your system consists of at least

one Keypad which provides full control of system operation, various

sensors which provide perimeter and interior burglary protection,

plus a selected number of strategically placed smoke or combustion

detectors designed to provide early warning in case of fire.

The system uses microcomputer technology to monitor all protection

zones and system status and provides appropriate information for

display on the Keypad(s) used with the system, and initiates

appropriate alarms. Your system may also have been programmed to

automatically transmit alarm or status messages over the phone lines

to a central alarm monitoring station.

A Partitioned System

Simply stated, a partitioned system shares one physical alarm system

among different users, each with their own requirements. For the

most part, you as a user need not know about other users and their

structure in the system, but from time to time, you may see display

messages which indicate the system is in use by another user. Do not

be concerned, this is normal. Refer to the ACCESSING OTHER

PARTITIONS section for additional information.

– 4 –

System Overview (cont’d)

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 001, sensing devices on windows in the master

bedroom to zone 002, and so on. These numbers will appear on the

display, along with an alpha descriptor for that zone (if programmed),

when an alarm or trouble condition occurs.

Fire Protection

The fire protection portion of your security system (if used) is always

on and will sound an alarm if a fire condition is detected. Refer to the

FIRE ALARM SYSTEM section for important information concerning

fire protection, smoke detectors and planning emergency exit routes

from your house.

Burglary Protection

The burglary protection portion of your system must be turned on or

"armed" before it will sense burglary alarm conditions. Your system

provides four modes of burglary protection: STAY, AWAY, INSTANT

and MAXIMUM, and even allows you to BYPASS selected zones of

protection while leaving the rest of the system armed. The system

also provides a CHIME mode, for alerting users to the opening and

closing of doors and windows while the system is disarmed. Refer to

the other sections of this manual for procedures for using these

features.

Alarms

When an alarm occurs, both the keypad and external sounders will

sound, and the keypad will display the zone(s) causing the alarm. If

your system is connected to a central monitoring station, an alarm

message will also be sent. To stop the alarm sounding, simply disarm

the system.

Memory of Alarm

When an alarm condition occurs, the keypad displays the number(s)

of the zone(s) that caused the problem, and displays the type of alarm

(ex. FIRE, ALARM). It remains displayed until it is cleared by

disarming the system (see DISARMING THE SYSTEM section).

Speed Key (Macros)

The system can store a string of up to 32 keystrokes, which can be

activated anytime by simply pressing the “A, B, C, or D” keys. This

feature can be used to make it easy to perform a complicated

procedure (such as going to another partition to bypass a zone), or it

can be used to simplify an everyday, repeated procedure. Refer to the

SPEED KEY section for procedures for using this feature.

– 6 –

System Overview (cont’d)

Using Schedules

Your system may have been programmed with schedules for

automatically arming, disarming and activating various devices

and/or performing other system functions at predetermined times.

Users can modify some of these schedules by manually delaying a

closing time, using temporary schedules, or by programming special

user schedules. Refer to the USING SCHEDULES section at the end

of this manual for scheduling related procedures.

Device Timers

The system provides up to 20 "timers" which can be used to control

various devices, such as lights or appliances. These timers are similar

in concept to the individual appliance timers that might be purchased

at a department store. The devices that can be controlled are

programmed into the system by the installer. Up to 32 of these

devices can be programmed. Refer to the PROGRAMMING DEVICE

TIMERS section for procedures.

To Access Another Partition (GOTO Command)

Each keypad is assigned a default partition for display purposes, and

will show only that partition's information. But, if the user is

authorized, a keypad in one partition can be used to perform system

functions in another partition by using the GOTO command. Note

that only those partitions authorized and programmed by the installer

can be accessed in this manner.

To GOTO another partition, enter your security code, then press ✴

followed by the desired partition number (1-8).

The keypad will remain in the new partition until directed to go to

another partition, or until 120 seconds has elapsed with no keypad

activity. Entering partition number 0 will return the keypad to its

original partition.

– 7 –

System Overview (cont’d)

Master Keypad Operation

A "Master" keypad is one on which the status of all 8 partitions is

displayed simultaneously. A user can get more information about a

certain partition by simply entering + the desired partition

✴

number (1-8). To log on to the "Master" partition (9) using the GOTO

command, a user must have access to all partitions.

Self-Help Feature

Abbreviated user's instructions are built into the system that can be

easily viewed on the alpha keypad's message display screen. This

feature will prove particularly useful if this manual is not

conveniently accessible when you need to perform a system procedure

with which you are not familiar.

To view th e a bbr evia ted in str u ction s:

Simply press and hold down the function key of interest until the

description starts to appear (about 5 seconds) and then release it.

Refer to the FUNCTIONS OF THE KEYPAD section for

descriptions of each key function.

Phone Access & Voice Response Capability

Your system may include a 4285 or 4286 VIP module that will permit

you to access the system via a Touch-tone phone, either on-premises

or by call-in when away. The phone access feature will enable you to

do the following:

• Receive synthesized voice messages over the telephone regarding

the status of the security system.

• Arm and disarm the system and perform most function commands

via the telephone, with voice confirmation provided after each

command entry.

– 8 –

System Overview (cont’d)

• Control 4204/4204CF relays devices through the #70 Manual Relay

Activation mode.

Complete information regarding the use of this feature is provided in

a separate manual entitled PHONE ACCESS USER'S GUIDE, which

accompanies the 4285 or 4286 VIP module.

About The Keypads

General

IMPORTANT: If the keypad beeps rapidly upon

entering the premises, it indicates that an alarm

has occurred during your absence. LEAVE

IMMEDIATELY and CONTACT THE POLICE

from a nearby safe location.

Your keypads allow you to control all system functions. The keypads

feature a telephone style (digital) keypad and a Liquid Crystal

Display (LCD) which shows the nature and location of all occurrences.

Keypad display back lighting is programmable to always stay on or to

light only when a key is pressed, then turn off a few minutes later.

The keypads also feature a built-in sounder which will sound during

alarms and troubles. It will also "beep" during certain system

functions, such as during entry/exit delay times, during CHIME

mode, and when depressing keys to arm and disarm the system (to

acknowledge the key press). These sounds can be optionally

suppressed in some of your keypads (so as not to disturb other users

of the system). Ask your installer if this has been done.

The Alpha Keypad

Alpha keypads feature a 2-line, 32 character alphanumeric Liquid

Crystal Display (LCD) which can display system messages in friendly

English. Abbreviated user's instructions can also be displayed (see

Self Help paragraph in the SYSTEM OVERVIEW section). These

keypads can also be programmed with custom zone descriptors.

Entry/Exit Delays

General Information

Your system has preset time delays, known as exit delay and entry

delay. Whenever you arm your system, exit d ela y gives you time to

leave through the designated exit door without setting off an alarm.

Exit delay begins immediately after entering any arming command,

and applies to all modes of arming protection. If programmed, a slow

beeping will sound throughout the exit delay period.

En tr y Dela y gives you time to disarm the system when you reenter

through the designated entrance door. But the system must be

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

The keypad will beep during the entry delay period, reminding you to

disarm the system. You can also arm the system with no entry delay

at all by using either INSTANT or MAXIMUM arming modes. These

modes provide greater security while on the premises or while away

for extended periods of time. See your installer for your delay times.

– 14 –

Security Codes & Authority Levels

General Information

At the time of installation, you were assigned an authority level and a

personal four-digit security code, known only to you and yours. The

security code must be entered when arming and disarming the

system. The authority level defines the system functions that you can

perform.

As an additional safety feature, other users that do not have a need to

know your code can be assigned different security codes, and each

user can be given a different authority level. Users are identified by

"user numbers", which are assigned when assigning a user's security

code.

All codes can be used interchangeably when performing system

functions within the limits of each code's authority level (a system

armed with one user's code can be disarmed by another user's code),

with the exception of the Operator Level C code. See AUTHORITY

LEVELS section on the following page for detailed information

regarding user authority levels.

Duress Code

This feature is intended for use when you are forced to disarm or arm

the system under threat. When used, the system will act normally,

but can silently notify the central station of your situation, if that

service has been provided. The duress code is pre-assigned by the

installer during installation (auth. level 6).

Im p or ta n t: This code is useful only when the system is connected to

a central station.

Quick Arming

Note that if "Quick Arming" was programmed by the installer, the #

key can be pressed in place of the security code when arming the

– 15 –

Security Codes & Authority Levels (cont’d)

system. The security code must always be used to disarm the system,

however.

Authority Levels

Authority levels define the system functions a particular user can

perform. Depending on the authority assigned to you, there are

certain system functions you may be prohibited from performing. In

summary, there are six authority levels, each having certain system

restrictions as shown below.

Level 1 Ma ster :

Can perform all system functions in assigned

partitions, and can add, delete or change

Manager and Operator level users. Master

codes are added by the Installer.

Level 2 Ma n a ger :

Can perform system functions in assigned

partitions, and can add, delete or change

Operator level users.

Level 3 Op er a tor A: Can perform system functions in assigned

partitions, but cannot add or delete other

users.

Level 4 Op er a tor B: Same as Operator A, except Operator B

cannot bypass zones of protection.

Level 5 Op er a tor C: Can arm the system in assigned partitions,

but cannot disarm the system u n less the

system was armed with this code. This code

is typically assigned to someone who has a

need to arm/disarm the system only at

certain times (such as a baby-sitter).

Level 6 Du r ess:

Can arm and disarm the system, but also

sends a silent panic alarm to the central

station, if that service is connected.

– 16 –

Security Codes & Authority Levels (cont’d)

Level 7 Lim ited Use: Can arm and disarm the system for a

predetermined number of times. Use #84

mode to set number of times.

To view you r a u th or ity level a n d system ca p a b ilities:

1. Enter your code + ✴ + ✴ .

2. The keypad will display the partition(s) that you are authorized to

operate, and your user number and authority level in each

partition.

General Rules on Authority Levels and Changes

• A user may not delete or change the user code of the SAME or

HIGHER authority than which he is assigned.

• A user may only ADD users to a LOWER authority level.

• A user may assign access codes only to those partitions to which the

user adding the code has access. (ex. a user with access to only

partition 1 cannot assign codes in partition 2.)

• The only way to assign a user's authority level is by using the "Add

A User" procedure. To change a user's authority level, that user

must first be deleted, then added again.

• A user can only be DELETED or CHANGED from within the

partition he is assigned.

• User numbers must be entered as 3-digit entries. Single digit user

numbers must be preceded by a "00" (example, 003, 004, etc.).

Security codes are entered as 4-digit numbers.

• Before assigning a security code, be sure it does not conflict with

any DURESS code.

Note: When adding, changing or deleting users, all other alpha

keypads in that partition will display "User Edit Mode – Please Stand

By", and key depressions (except Panic) at those keypads will be

ignored. Panic key depressions will cause an alarm and terminate

user entry.

Accessing Other Partitions

To Access Another Partition

Each keypad is assigned a default partition for display purposes, and

will show only that partition's information. But, if the user is

authorized, a keypad in one partition can be used to perform system

functions in other partitions by using the GOTO command. Note that

only those partitions authorized and programmed by the installer can

be accessed in this manner.

To GOTO a n oth er p a r tition :

READY

1. Enter your security code, then press ✴ + partition number (1-8).

Entering partition number 0 will return the keypad to its original

partition.

The keypad will remain in the new

partition until directed to go to another

partition, or until 2 minutes has elapsed

with no keypad activity.

Global Arming

The Global Arming option may have been programmed for use by

some users. If Global Arming was enabled for use with your security

code, a keypad prompt (message) will appear after pressing one of the

arming function keys (STAY, INSTANT, AWAY, MAXIMUM, OFF).

Follow the keypad prompts to continue arming the system. See your

installer for detailed instructions on the use of this feature.

If global arming does not apply to your security code, use the

procedures described in the following pages.

– 22 –

Accessing Other Partitions (cont’d)

Master Keypad Operation

A "Master" keypad is one that reflects the status of the entire system

(Partitions 1-8) on its display. This is useful because it eliminates the

need for a security officer in a building to have to "log-on" to various

partitions from one partition's keypad to find out where an alarm has

occurred.

A description of a typical display follows:

SYSTEM 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

STATUS RRNN A T ✴B

The status of each partition is directly below the partition number on

the display. Possible status indications include:

A = Armed Away

S = Armed Stay

R = Ready

M = Armed Maximum

I = Armed Instant

N = Not Ready

B = Bypassed/Ready

= Alarm Memory/Trouble present

✴

To obtain more information regarding a particular partition, enter [*]

+ [Partition No.] (i.e., 4). This will allow viewing only of that

✴

partition. In order to affect that partition, the user must log on with

a code that has access to that partition. Also, in order for a user of

any partition to log onto the "Master" partition (Partition 9) to view

the status of all partitions, that user must have access to all

partitions. Otherwise, access will be denied.

The following is an example of what would be displayed for a fault

condition on Zone 2 (Loading Dock Window) on Partition

(Warehouse) when logging on from a keypad on Partition 9:

WHSE DISARMED

HIT ✴ FOR FAULTS

This is the normal display that appears at Partition 1's keypad(s).

Pressing will display:

FAULT 002 LOADING

DOCK WINDOW

Additional zone faults will be displayed one at a time. To display a

new partition's status, press ✴ + [Partition No.]. This will display the

status of the new partition.

The "Armed" LED on a Master keypad will be lit only if all partitions

have been armed successfully. The "Ready" LED will be lit only if all

partitions are "ready to arm."

The sounder on a Master keypad will reflect the sound of the most

critical condition on all of the partitions. The priority of the sounds is

as follows:

A. Pulsing fire alarm sounds

B. Steady burglar alarm sounds

C. Trouble sounds

The sounder may be silenced by pressing any key on the Master

keypad.

– 24 –

Accessing Other Partitions (cont’d)

Common Lobby Operation

When an installation consists of a partition that is shared by users of

other partitions in a building, that shared partition may be assigned

as a “common lobby” partition for the system. An example of this

might be in a medical building where there are two doctors and a

common entrance area.

This option employs logic for automatic arming and disarming of the

common lobby. Partitions may be set to affect and/or attempt to arm

the common lobby. This will affect the way the lobby will react when

arming or disarming activity occurs in another partition.

Partitions that a ffect the lobby will cause the following to occur:

a. When the first partition that affects the lobby is disarmed, the

lobby will also be disarmed.

b. The common lobby cannot be armed unless every partition

selected to affects the lobby is armed.

c. Arming the last partition that affects the lobby will n ot

How User Codes Affect the Common Lobby

Cod es w ith “Glob a l” Ar m in g

If your code is given “global arming” when it is defined, the keypad

will ask “Arm All?” or “Disarm All?” whenever you try to arm or

disarm the partitions you have access to. This allows you to pick and

choose the partitions to be armed or disarmed, and so eliminates the

“automatic” operation of the lobby. Keep in mind, however, that if

attempting to arm all, and another affecting partition is disarmed,

you will not be able to arm the lobby, and the message “UNABLE TO

ARM LOBBY PARTITON” will be displayed.

Cod es w ith “Non -Glob a l” Ar m in g

If arming with a non-global code, the lobby partition operation will be

automatic, as described in the previous table.

Speed Key (Macros)

General Information

The “A”, “B”, “C”, and/or “D” keys can be used to activate a string of

commands up to 32 keystrokes each. These commands are known as a macro

and are stored in the system’s memory. Typical Speed Key functions include:

•

Arming sequences that involve first bypassing certain zones before

arming.

•

Seldom used but repeatable sequences.

Relay activation sequences.

Defining

To program a macro, enter your user code + [#] + [D]. The following appears:

ENTER SPEED KEY #

01-32

00=QUIT

Enter the 2-digit Speed Key number (01-32) being defined and press [*].

Enter up to 32 keystrokes. A Speed Key sequence can include different

commands. Press the "D" key to separate different commands. For example,

you may want to perform the following sequence.

GOTO partition 2......................Enter *2

Bypass zones 010 & 011 ...........Press bypass [6], then the zone numbers 010

& 011

Arm in maximum mode............Press maximum [4] key

Programming Device Timers

General Information

Device timers consist of an ON time & an OFF time, and selected

days of the week in which they are active. There are up to 20 timers

that can be used to control various devices, such as lights or

appliances. Your installer will have programmed the appropriate

devices into the system (up to 32 devices can be programmed).

Each timer controls a single device (designated as an output number)

that you select. For example, timer 1 might be set to turn the porch

lights on at 7:00pm and turn them off at 11:00pm. Timer 2 might turn

on the air conditioner Monday-Friday at 4:30pm to cool the premises

before you arrive at 5:00pm, and turn it off at 10:00pm when you are

retiring for the night. If desired, different timers can control the same

device. For example, timer 2 could be used Monday-Friday as in the

previous example, and timer 3 could be set to turn the air conditioner

on and off at different times Saturday and Sunday.

To en ter th e d evice tim er m en u m od e:

Enter your security code, then press the # key followed by 83.

Fire Alarm System

General

Your fire alarm system (if installed) is on 24 hours a day, providing

continuous protection. In the event of an emergency, the installed

smoke and heat detectors will automatically send signals to your

Control/Communicator, triggering a loud interrupting sound from the

keypad. An interrupted sound will also be produced by optional

exterior sounders. A FIRE message will appear at your keypad and

remain on until you silence the alarm.

In Case Of Fire Alarm

1. Should you become aware of a fire emergency before your

detectors sense the problem, go to your nearest keypad and

manually initiate an alarm by pressing the panic key assigned as

FIRE emergency (if programmed by the installer) and hold down

for at least 2 seconds.

2. Evacuate all occupants from the premises.

3. If flames and/or smoke are present, leave the premises and notify

your local Fire Department immediately.

4. If no flames or smoke are apparent, investigate the cause of the

alarm. The zone descriptor of the zone(s) in an alarm condition

will appear at the keypad.

Silencing A Fire Alarm

1. Silence the alarm by entering your code and pressing the OF F

key. To clear the display, enter your code and press the OF F key

again

2. If the keypad does not indicate a R E ADY condition after the

second OF F sequence, press the R E ADY key to display the

zone(s) that are faulted. Be sure to check that smoke detectors

are not responding to smoke or heat producing objects in their

vicinity. Should this be the case, eliminate the source of heat or

smoke.

3. If this does not remedy the problem, there may still be smoke in

the detector. Clear it by fanning the detector for about 30 seconds.

4. When the problem has been corrected, clear the display by

entering your code and pressing the OF F key.

Fire Display Lock

If several zones produce an alarm before any are silenced, the system

can be programmed to lock the keypad display with the first zone that

produced an alarm. Ask your installer if your system has been

activated with this feature.

To display the other zone(s), press the [*] key for each zone. Also the

“A”, “B”, or “C” keys can be programmed to scroll the keypad display

to view the previous or subsequent fire alarms.

Fire Drill Test (Code + # + 69)

This test causes fire bells to be activated (in either steady or pulsing

manner as programmed in the system), for the purpose of conducting

a fire drill or a bell test. This can only be activated by the installer or

a master user from Partition 1 keypads as follows:

1. Enter the corresponding security code and press [#} + 69 (make

sure the burglary portion of the system is disarmed). Keypads

will display “FIRE DRILL ACTIVE” while the test is active.

Recommendations For Smoke And Heat Detectors

With regard to the number and placement of smoke/heat detectors,

we subscribe to the recommendations contained in the National Fire

Protection Association's (NFPA) Standard #72 noted below.

Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation

of fire detection equipment in all rooms and areas of the

household as follows: For minimum protection a smoke detector

should be installed outside of each separate sleeping area, and

on each additional floor of a multi-floor family living unit,

including basements. The installation of smoke detectors in

kitchens, attics (finished or unfinished), or in garages is not

normally recommended.

For additional protection the NFPA recommends that you install heat

or smoke detectors in the living room, dining room, bedroom(s),

kitchen, hallway(s), attic, furnace room, utility and storage rooms,

basements and attached garages.

BASEMENT

In a d d ition , w e r ecom m en d th e follow in g:

• Install a smoke detector inside every bedroom where a smoker

sleeps.

• Install a smoke detector inside every bedroom where someone

sleeps with the door partly or completely closed. Smoke could be

blocked by the closed door. Also, an alarm in the hallway outside

may not wake up the sleeper if the door is closed.

• Install

smoke detector inside bedrooms where electrical

appliances (such as portable heaters, air conditioners or

humidifiers) are used.

• Install a smoke detector at both ends of a hallway if the hallway is

more than 40 feet (12 meters) long.

• Install smoke detectors in any room where an alarm control is

located, or in any room where alarm control connections to an AC

source or phone lines are made. If detectors are not so located, a fire

within the room could prevent the control from reporting a fire or

an intrusion.

– 64 –

Recommendations For Proper Protection (cont’d)

Recommendations For Proper Intrusion Protection

For proper intrusion coverage, sensors should be located at every

possible point of entry to a home or commercial premises. This would

include any skylights that may be present, and the upper windows in

a multi-level building.

In addition, we recommend that radio backup be used in a security

system so that alarm signals can still be sent to the alarm monitoring

station in the event that the telephone lines are out of order (alarm

signals are normally sent over the phone lines, if connected to an

alarm monitoring station).

– 65 –

Emergency Evacuation

Establish and regularly practice a plan of escape in the event of fire. The following

steps are recommended by the National Fire Protection Association:

1. Position your detector or your interior and/or exterior sounders so

that they can be heard by all occupants.

2. Determine two means of escape from each room. One path of

escape should lead to the door that permits normal exit from the

building. The other may be a window, should your path be

impassable. Station an escape ladder at such windows if there is a

long drop to the ground.

3. Sketch a floor plan of the building. Show windows, doors, stairs

and rooftops that can be used to escape. Indicate escape routes for

each room. Keep these routes free from obstruction and post

copies of the escape routes in every room.

4. Assure that all bedroom doors are shut while you are asleep. This

will prevent deadly smoke from entering while you escape.

5. Try the door. If the door is hot, check your alternate escape route.

If the door is cool, open it cautiously. Be prepared to slam the door

if smoke or heat rushes in.

6. Where smoke is present, crawl on the ground; do not walk

upright. Smoke rises and may overcome you. Clearer air is near

the floor.

7. Escape quickly; don't panic.

8. Establish a common meeting place outdoors, away from your

house, where everyone can meet and then take steps to contact

the authorities and account for those missing. Choose someone to

assure that nobody returns to the house — many die going back.

Maintaining Your System

Taking Care of Your System

The components of your security system are designed to be as free of

maintenance as possible. However, there are some things you can do

to make sure that your system is in reliable working condition.

1. Test your system weekly.

2. Test the system after any alarm occurs (see TESTING THE

SYSTEM).

Replacing Batteries in Wireless Sensors

Wireless sensors

may not have

been used in your

security system

Each wireless sensor in your system has a 9-volt or 3-volt battery. The

system detects a low battery in any wireless sensor, including smoke

detectors, the optional personal emergency transmitter, and the

optional portable wireless keypad. (A low battery in a portable

wireless keypad is detected as soon as one of its keys is pressed, and

the keypad will display 00.)

Alkaline batteries provide a minimum of 1 year of operation, and in

most units and applications, provide 2–4 years of service. Actual

battery life will depend on the environment in which the sensor is

used, the number of signals that the transmitter in the sensor has had

to send, and the specific type of sensor. Factors such as humidity,

high or low temperatures or large swings in temperature, may all lead

to the reduction of actual battery life in an installation.

If you h a ve a low b a tter y in a w ir eless sen sor , a low b a tter y

m essa ge is d isp la yed on th e k eyp a d .

In addition, a battery-operated smoke detector with a low battery also

emits a single "chirp" sound once approximately every 20-30 seconds,

identifying itself as the smoke detector with the weak battery. If you

do not replace a smoke detector's low battery, the smoke detector may

sound continuously, as if there were a fire alarm.

– 67 –

Maintaining Your System (cont’d)

Note: The low battery message comes on as a warning that battery

replacement in indicated sensor(s) is due within 30 days. In the

meantime, the sensor(s) causing the low battery indication is still

fully operational.

Im p or ta n t: Use only batteries recommended by your installer as

replacement.

Silencing Low Battery Warning Tones at the Keypad

The keypad’s warning tones can be silenced by performing an OFF

sequence (code plus OFF key), but the Keypad's low battery message

display will remain on as a reminder that you have a low battery

condition in one or more of your sensors. When you replace the weak

battery with a fresh one, the sensor will send a "good battery" signal

to the control as soon as the sensor is activated (opening/closing of

door, window, etc.), causing the low battery display to turn off. If the

sensor is not activated, the display will automatically clear within

approximately 1 hour.

Routine Care

• Treat the components of your security system as you would any

other electrical equipment. Do not slam sensor-protected doors or

windows.

• Keep dust from accumulating on the keypad and all protective

sensors, particularly on motion sensors and smoke detectors.

• The keypad and sensors should be cleaned carefully with a dry soft

cloth. Do n ot sp r a y wa ter or a n y oth er flu id on th e u n its.

WARNING!

THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS ALARM SYSTEM

While this system is an advanced design security system, it does not offer guaranteed protection against

burglary or fire or other emergency. Any alarm system, whether commercial or residential, is subject to

compromise or failure to warn for a variety of reasons. For example:

• Intruders may gain access through unprotected openings or have the technical sophistication to bypass

an alarm sensor or disconnect an alarm warning device.

• Intrusion detectors (e.g. passive infrared detectors), smoke detectors, and many other sensing devices

will not work without power. Battery operated devices will not work without batteries, with dead batteries,

or if the batteries are not put in properly. Devices powered solely by AC will not work if their AC power

supply is cut off for any reason, however briefly.

• Signals sent by wireless transmitters may be blocked or reflected by metal before they reach the alarm

receiver. Even if the signal path has been recently checked during a weekly test, blockage can occur if a

metal object is moved into the path.

• A user may not be able to reach a panic or emergency button quickly enough.

• While smoke detectors have played a key role in reducing residential fire deaths in the United States,

they may not activate or provide early warning for a variety of reasons in as many as 35% of all fires,

according to data published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Some of the reasons

smoke detectors used in conjunction with this System may not work are as follows. Smoke detectors may

have been improperly installed and positioned. Smoke detectors may not sense fires that start where

smoke cannot reach the detectors, such as in chimneys, in walls, or roofs, or on the other side of closed

doors. Smoke detectors also may not sense a fire on another level of a residence or building. A second

floor detector, for example, may not sense a first floor or basement fire. Moreover, smoke detectors have

sensing limitations. No smoke detector can sense every kind of fire every time. In general, detectors may

not always warn about fires caused by carelessness and safety hazards like smoking in bed, violent

explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits,

children playing with matches, or arson. Depending upon the nature of the fire and/or the locations of the

smoke detectors, the detector, even if it operates as anticipated, may not provide sufficient warning to

allow all occupants to escape in time to prevent injury or death.

• Passive Infrared Motion Detectors can only detect intrusion within the designed ranges as diagrammed in

their installation manual. Passive Infrared Detectors do not provide volumetric area protection. They do

create multiple beams of protection, and intrusion can only be detected in unobstructed areas covered by

those beams. They cannot detect motion or intrusion that takes place behind walls, ceilings, floors,

closed doors, glass partitions, glass doors, or windows. Mechanical tampering, masking, painting or

spraying of any material on the mirrors, windows or any part of the optical system can reduce their

detection ability. Passive Infrared Detectors sense changes in temperature; however, as the ambient

temperature of protected area approaches the temperature range of 90° to 105°F, the detection

performance can decrease.

WARNING!

THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS ALARM SYSTEM

(continued)

• Alarm warning devices such as sirens, bells or horns may not alert people or wake up sleepers if they are

located on the other side of closed or partly open doors. If warning devices sound on a different level of

the residence from the bedrooms, then they are less likely to waken or alert people inside the bedrooms.

Even persons who are awake may not hear the warning if the alarm is muffled from a stereo, radio, air

conditioner or other appliance, or by passing traffic. Finally, alarm warning devices, however loud, may

not warn hearing-impaired people or waken deep sleepers.

• Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premises to a central monitoring station may be

out of service or temporarily out of service. Telephone lines are also subject to compromise by

sophisticated intruders.

• Even if the system responds to the emergency as intended, however, occupants may have insufficient

time to protect themselves from the emergency situation. In the case of a monitored alarm system,

authorities may not respond appropriately.

• This equipment, like other electrical devices, is subject to component failure. Even though this equipment

is designed to last as long as 10 years, the electronic components could fail at any time.

The most common cause of an alarm system not functioning when an intrusion or fire occurs is inadequate

maintenance. This alarm system should be tested weekly to make sure all sensors and transmitters are

working properly.

Installing an alarm system may make one eligible for lower insurance rates, but an alarm system is not a

substitute for insurance. Homeowners, property owners and renters should continue to act prudently in

protecting themselves and continue to insure their lives and property.

We continue to develop new and improved protection devices. Users of alarm systems owe it to themselves

and their loved ones to learn about these developments.
