SYSTEM OVERVIEW

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 all system status. Ademco is the world's

largest manufacturer of security systems and millions of premises are protected by

Ademco systems.

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.

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, sensing

devices on windows in the master bedroom to zone 10, and so on. These zone numbers

will appear on the display when an alarm or trouble condition occurs.

Burglary Protection The burglary protection portion of your system must be turned on or "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 THE SYSTEM

sections for instructions in using these modes of operation.

Chime Feature Your system can be set to alert you to the opening of a door or window while it is disarmed

by using the CHIME mode. In this mode, three tones will sound at the Keypad(s)

whenever a door or window is opened.

–4–

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

Alarms When an alarm occurs, both the keypad and external sounders will sound, and a message

at the keypad will identify the zone(s) causing the alarm. In addition, if your system is

connected to a central monitoring station, an alarm message will be sent. To stop the alarm

sounding, you simply disarm the system.

Fire Protection When an alarm or trouble condition occurs, the keypad displays the number(s) of the

zone(s) that caused the problem, and displays the type of alarm or trouble (ex. FIRE,

ALARM, CHECK). The display remains until it is cleared by entering the OFF sequence

(security code + OFF key) twice.

Phone Access &

Voice Response

Capability

(Optional)

Your system may include a phone 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.

Paging Feature If the paging feature has been programmed for your system, your pager will respond to

certain conditions as they occur in your system, and display code numbers indicating the

type of condition that has occurred.

For detailed information, refer to PAGING FEATURE on page 25.

–5–

ABOUT THE KEYPADS

General Your keypads allow you to control all system functions. The keypads feature a telephone

style (digital) keys and a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) which shows the nature and location

of all occurrences.

The keypads feature a built-in sounder which emits alarm sounds during alarm and trouble

conditions, and produces warning tones during entry and exit, delay periods (if soprogrammed).

The sounder also provides acknowledgment tones when keys are

pressed, and confirmation tones for successful command entries.

Keypad Styles There are various styles of keypads, any of which may have been used in your system

(see page 7). Although different in appearance, all styles are functionally the same,

except for their display windows (see “Keypad Types” below). The keys on some keypads

are located behind a flip-down cover which can be removed, if desired.

Keypad Types There are two basic types of keypads, Alpha and Fixed-Word, either of which may have

been used in your system.

• Alpha Keypads

These feature a 2-line, 32 character alphanumeric Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) which

can display the nature and location of all occurrences in friendly English.

• Fixed-Word Keypads

These are functionally similar to the Alpha Keypads, except that their LCD display uses

pre-designated (fixed) words to identify the nature and location of occurrences. Words

displayed on all Fixed-Word keypads are the same, except that their location in the

display window will vary with different models (see Styles A and B on page 6).

Unless stated otherwise, all commands and procedures described herein apply equally to

all keypads.

Typical displays that would appear on both Alpha and Fixed-Word keypads are depicted

throughout this manual.

depression, the entry is aborted and must be repeated from its beginning.

–10–

SECURITY CODES

General At the time of installation, your installer programmed a personal four-digit Master code,

known only to you and yours. This code is used to perform most system functions,

including arming and disarming of the system. As an additional safety feature, temporary

User Codes can be assigned for use by those not having a need to know the Master

code. Note that the Master code remains in effect even when other user codes are

assigned.

IMPORTANT! When performing any of the procedures that follow, do not

allow more than 2 seconds to elapse between steps, otherwise the entry

will be aborted, and the procedure must be repeated from its beginning.

To Assign, Change, or

Delete User Codes

It is recommended that

obvious codes such as

1-1-1-1 or 1-2-3-4 not be

assigned.

Temporary users should

not be shown how to use

any system function that

they do not need to know

(e.g., how to bypass protection

zones).

The Master security code can be used to assign up to 4 secondary User codes. It can also

be used to change any User code or to remove (delete) any secondary User code from

the system.

To Assign or Change a User Code:

1. Enter your Master code and press the CODE [8] key.

2. Enter the single-digit User Number for whom a code is to be assigned or changed

(User Nos. 3 to 6 may be assigned.)

3. Enter the desired 4-digit code for use by that User Number. The keypad will beep

once when a User code has been successfully entered.

To Delete a User Code:

Perform steps 1 and 2 above and then stop. In a few moments, the keypad will beep

once, indicating that the existing code has been deleted.

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 may be any 4-digit code assigned to User Number 8.

–11–

SECURITY CODES (Continued)

Duress Code

(Continued)

To program a Duress code:

Enter your Master Code + 8 + 8 + [desired 4-digit duress code].

The keypad will beep once.

Note: The Duress code must differ from the Master Code or any other User’s Code.

To change the Duress code:

Enter Master Code + 8 + 8 + [new 4-digit duress code].

To delete the Duress code:

Enter your Master Code + 8 + 8, and then stop. When the keypad beeps once it signifies

that the code has been deleted.

To Change Your Master

Code

1. Enter your Master code and press the CODE [8] key.

2. Enter “2”.

3. Enter your new Master code.

4. Enter your new Master code again. The keypad will beep 3 times, indicating

acceptance.

Quick Arming

Ask your installer if "Quick

Arming" is active for your

system; if so, check here:

If your system supports "Quick Arming", the "#" key can be pressed in place of the

security code when arming the system. The security code is always required, however,

when disarming the system.

Phone Module

Ask your installer if your

system includes a phone

module; if so, check here:

If your system includes a phone module, your installer will have programmed a 2-digit

phone access code for your system. Be sure to obtain this phone code from your installer.

Complete information regarding the use of this phone access feature is provided in a

separate manual entitled PHONE ACCESS USER'S GUIDE, which accompanies the

phone module.

–12–

ENTRY/EXIT DELAYS

General Information Your system has preset time delays, known as exit delay and entry delay. When you arm

your system, exit delay gives you time to leave through the entry/exit door without

setting off an alarm. Entry delay gives you time to disarm the system when you re-enter

through the entry/exit door. The system must be disarmed, however, before the entry

delay period ends, or an alarm will occur. The keypad will beep slowly 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 can provide greater security while you are

sleeping or while you are away for extended periods of time.

See your installer for your delay times and record them here:

Exit Delay: seconds Entry Delay: seconds

Remember, there will be no entry delay

when arming INSTANT or MAXIMUM.

Exit Delay

Alerting Sound

When arming AWAY (see page 18) or MAXIMUM (see page 19), slow beeps will sound

from the keypad(s) during the exit delay, turning to fast beeps during the final five

seconds of the exit delay time.

Ask your installer if this feature is active for your system, and if so, check here:

–13–

CHECKING FOR OPEN ZONES

Using the

Q READY Key

Before arming your system, all protected doors, windows and other protection zones

must be closed or bypassed (see BYPASSING PROTECTION ZONES section), otherwise

the keypad will display a "Not Ready" message, and if your keypad has a READY indicator

light, it will not be lit. The READY key can be used to display all faulted zones, making it

easier for you to secure any open zone.

To display faulted zones, simply press and release the READY [Q] key (do not enter

code first).

Secure or bypass the zones displayed before arming the system.

A "Ready" message will be displayed when all protection zones have been either closed

or bypassed and the keypad's READY indicator light (if present) will be lit. The system can

then be armed. if desired.

EXIT ALARMS

Exit Alarm Warning

Displays and Sounds

Ask your installer if "Exit

Alarm Warning" is active

for your system, and if

so, check here:

Your system may support and have been programmed for this feature.

When arming, if an exit or interior zone contains a fault during closing at the time the exit

delay ends, the alarm sounder and keypad sound continuously to alert you that an

unwanted alarm can be prevented if you take action:

• If you disarm the system during the entry delay period that will immediately follow, the

sound stops. The keypad displays "CANCELED ALARM "or "CA" as well as a zone

indication. No message is transmitted to the central station.

• If the system is NOT disarmed during the immediately following entry delay period, the

sounds continue until the system is disarmed (or alarm sounder timeout occurs). The

keypad displays "EXIT ALARM" or "EA" as well as a zone indication. An "exit alarm"

message will be sent to the central station.

Note: The latter "EXIT ALARM" conditions also result if an alarm from an exit or interior

zone occurs within two minutes after the end of an exit delay.

In any of the above cases, a second OFF sequence (security code + OFF key) will clear

the keypad display.

CHIME MODE

Using the

9 CHIME Key

This feature can be used

only while the burglary

system is disarmed.

Your system can be set to alert you to the opening of a door or window while it is disarmed

by using CHIME mode. When activated, three tones will sound at the Keypad whenever a

door or window is opened. Pressing the READY key will display the open protection

points.

To turn Chime Mode on, enter the security code and press the CHIME key. The

CHIME message will appear.

To turn Chime Mode off, enter the security code and press the CHIME key again.

The CHIME message will disappear.

PANIC KEYS

(FOR MANUALLY ACTIVATING SILENT AND/OR AUDIBLE ALARMS)

Using

Panic Keys

Your system may have been programmed to use special keys or combinations of keys to

manually activate emergency (panic) functions. The functions that might be programmed

are: Silent Emergency, Audible Emergency, Personal Emergency, and Fire.

A silent emergency sends a silent alarm signal to the central station*, but there is no

audible alarm or visual display.

An audible emergency sends a signal to the central station* and sounds a loud,

steady alarm at your keypad(s) and at any external sounders that may be connected

(ALARM plus a zone number is also displayed).

A personal emergency alarm sends an emergency message to the central station*

and sounds at keypad(s), but not at external bells or sirens.

A fire alarm sends a fire alarm message to the central station* and uniquely sounds at

keypad(s) and external bells and sirens (FIRE plus a zone number is also displayed).

* If connected to a central station.

TO INITIATE A PANIC FUNCTION AT ANY TIME OF DAY OR NIGHT:

• Press an active lettered key (A, B or C) for at least two seconds.

or, if lettered keys are not present on the keypad,

• Press both keys of an active pair at the same time.

See next page for panic functions that have been assigned to keys.

TESTING THE SYSTEM

TO BE CONDUCTED WEEKLY

Using the

5 TEST Key

NO ALARM REPORTS

WILL BE SENT TO THE

CENTRAL MONITORING

STATION while the

system is in Test mode.

The TEST key puts your system into the Test mode, which allows each protection point

to be checked for proper operation.

1. Disarm the system and close all protected windows, doors, etc. The keypad's READY

message should be displayed and the READY indicator (if present) should be lit.

2. Enter your security code and press the TEST key.

3. As the Test mode is entered, the external siren or bell will sound for 2 seconds and

then turn off.

Each time a protection zone is faulted, the keypad sounds 3 beeps.

The keypad will sound a single beep every 40 seconds as a reminder that the system

is in the test mode.

If these sounds do not occur, call for service immediately.

4. Open and close each protected door and window in turn and listen for the required

sounds The identification of each faulted protection point should appear on the display.

5. Walk in front of any interior motion detectors (if used) and listen for the required sound

as movement is detected. The identification of the detector should appear on the

display when it is activated.

Note: Wireless PIR (Passive Infrared) units will send signals out only if they have been

inactive for 3 minutes.

6. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to test all smoke detectors, to ensure that all

are functioning properly. The identification of each detector should appear on the

display when each is activated.

–25–

TESTING THE SYSTEM (Continued)

7. After all protection points have been checked and restored, there should be no zone

identification numbers displayed. If a problem is experienced with any

protection point (no confirming sounds, no display), CALL FOR

SERVICE IMMEDIATELY.

8. Turn off the Test mode by entering the security code and pressing the OFF key.

PAGING FEATURE

If the paging feature has been programmed for your system, your pager will respond to certain conditions as they

occur in your system by displaying a 10-digit code that will indicate the type of condition that has occurred. The 10-

digit code will use the following format: SSSS–EEE–NNN

SSSS will be your particular 4-digit subscriber No. (this same number will always appear at the beginning of the

display on your pager).

EEE will be a 3-digit number that describes the event that has occurred in your system (see explanation below).

NNN will be a 3-digit User or zone number, depending on the type of event that has occurred.

The 3-digit Event Codes (EEE) that can be displayed are:

911 = Alarm (NNN that follows this code will be the zone number that has caused the alarm)

001 = Open, System disarmed (NNN that follows this code will be the User number)

002 = Close, System armed (NNN that follows this code will be the User number)

811 = Trouble (NNN that follows this code will be the zone number that has caused the trouble)

Example 1. Pager displays: 1234 –91 1–004 Ê

This indicates that your system (Subscriber No. 1234) is reporting an Alarm (911), due to zone 4 (004) being

faulted.

Example 2. Pager displays: 1234 –00 1–00 5Ê

This indicates that your system (Subscriber No. 1234) is reporting an open/disarming (001) by User 5 (005).

FIRE ALARM SYSTEM (IF INSTALLED)

General Your fire alarm system (if installed) is on 24 hours a day, for continuous protection. In the

event of an emergency, the strategically located smoke and heat detectors will automatically

send signals to your system, triggering a loud, interrupted pulsed sound* from

the Keypad(s). This 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 (see below

for silencing fire alarms).

* Temporal pulse sounding is produced for Fire alarms, as follows:

3 pulses–pause–3 pulses–pause–3 pulses. . . , repeated.

Smoke Detectors for Minimum Protection

Smoke Detectors for Additional Protection

Heat-Activated 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 #74

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: A

smoke detector installed outside of each

separate sleeping area, in the immediate vicinity

of the bedrooms and on each additional story of

the family living unit, including basements and

excluding crawl spaces and unfinished attics.

In addition, 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.

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. Plan on your detector or your interior and/or exterior sounders warning 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 unpassable. 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. Make sure 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. In smoky areas, crawl close to floor, hold your breath, and/or cover mouth and nose

with a wet cloth.

7. Escape quickly; don't panic.

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

many die going back.

pas la dégradation du service dans certaines situations. Actuellement, les

entreprises de télécommunications ne permettent pas que l'on raccorde leur

matériel aux prises d'abonnés, sauf dans les cas precis prévus par les tarifs

particuliers de ces entreprises.

Les réparations du matériel homologué doivent être effectuées pas un centre

d'entretien canadien autorisé désigné par le fournisseur. La compagnie de

télécommunications peut demander à l'utilisateur de débrancher un appareil à la

suite de réparations ou de modifications effectuées par l'utilisateur ou à cause de

mauvais fonctionnement.

Pour sa propre protection, l'utilisateur doit s'assurer que tous les fils de mise en

terre de la source d'énergie électrique, des lignes téléphoniques de réseau de

conduites d'eau, s'il y en a, soient raccordés ensemble. Cette précaution est

particulièrement importante dans les régions rurales.

Avertissement: L'utilisateur ne doit pas tenter de faire ces raccordements luimême;

il doit avoir recours à un service d'inspection des installations électriques, ou

à un électricien, selon le cas.

L'indice de charge (IC) assigné à chaque dispositif terminal pour éviter toute

surcharge indique le pourcentage de la charge totale qui peut être raccordé à un

circuit téléphonique fermé utilisé par ce dispositif. La terminaison du circuit fermé

peut être constituée de n'importe quelle combinaison de dispositifs, pourvu que la

somme des indices de charge de l'ensemble des dispositifs ne dépasse pas 100.

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 (32° to 40°C), the detection performance can decrease.

• 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.

WARNING! THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS ALARM SYSTEM (continued)

• 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 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.

Wireless transmitters (used with some systems) are designed to provide long battery life under normal operating conditions. Longevity

of batteries may be as much as 4 to 7 years, depending on the environment, usage, and the specific wireless device being used.

External factors such as humidity, high or low temperatures, as well as large swings in temperature, may all reduce the actual battery

life in a given installation. This wireless system, however, can identify a true low battery situation, thus allowing time to arrange a

change of battery to maintain protection for that given point within the system.

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.
