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.

Also see Duress Code feature on page 10.
