ADT Security Services BHS 3000C User Manual

							The optional virtual keypad allows you to control the security system 
from any touch-tone telephone, whether you are at home or across 
the country. You can check the system’s status while on vacation, or \
trigger an emergency alarm from your bedroom. The virtual keypad  
is also a helpful feature for visually impaired users who may have  
difficulty using a traditional keypad.
The Smart•Key Wireless Remote is a small remote-control device  
that allows you to turn the system on and off remotely. It also  
performs other specialized functions, such as triggering an  
emergency alarm. 
This small detector is mounted near any large expanse of glass  
(e.g., a window or door) in your home. It detects the sound waves 
produced by breaking glass, triggering the alarm system. 
The heat sensor detects when the temperature nearby is dangerously 
high. It is mounted in a central location of the house on the ceiling. 
Heat sensors are not available for commercial installations. 
This device detects both smoke and dangerously high temperatures. 
It is mounted in a central location of the house on the ceiling.  
Smoke/heat detectors are not available for commercial installations.

							This device detects carbon monoxide, an odorless, poisonous gas. 
Improperly maintained appliances such as hot water heaters can 
produce carbon monoxide.
If your telephone line is cut, the optional Line Cut feature notifies yo\
u. 
If the alarm system is on, the siren sounds. If the system is turned off\
, 
the keypad beeps and displays a trouble message. 
Because a line cut results in a loss of telephone service, this event is\
 
not reported to an ADT Customer Monitoring Center.

Carbon Monoxide Detector
The optional Pager/Latchkey feature notifies you that your children 
have arrived home safely when you are away. When your child turns 
the system on or off, you receive a page on your pager. You can also 
receive pages for other system events, like alarms or pager/latchkey 
loss.

Message Window (Premium Keypad)
The premium keypad communicates with you by lighting the appropriate words and phrases i\
n the message 
window. The words that compose the message may appear on different lines\
, or be separated by other words. 
For example, if you were to change your keypad code, you would see the f\
ollowing message in the window: 
The words ENTER and NEW CODE are lit. This means that the system is read\
y for you to enter a new keypad code.

							Emergency Keys
If you are home when a police, medical or fire emergency arises, you can alert an ADT Cust\
omer Monitoring Center 
of your situation with the single press of an emergency key. The system \
does not need to be on. (Not all emergency 
buttons are available to all commercial customers.)  
Call 911 First
If your community provides 911 emergency service and you are able to rea\
ch a telephone during the emergency, 
ADT recommends that you call 911 before pressing the emergency key. This\
 gives you the fastest access to  
emergency services.
The following table shows the purpose of each key, and what happens when\
 it is pressed. (Depending upon how  
the system is programmed, you may need to press the emergency key twice \
within three seconds to signal an  
emergency alarm.)
If you press an emergency key by accident, you can cancel the alarm by p\
ressing the CANCEL key and entering your  
keypad code (for more information about canceling alarms, see page 18)\

The siren sounds, and a signal is sent to an ADT 
Customer Monitoring Center (CMC). ADT calls 
the fire department and then calls you to verify 
the alarm (this procedure may vary in some 
jurisdictions). 
The keypad beeps and a signal is sent to an ADT 
CMC. ADT calls you to verify the alarm. If for any 
reason you do not answer the call, ADT calls your 
local emergency response agency.

							Using the Keypad 
The ADT security system in your home may have a Standard keypad or a Premium key\
pad. Both types of keypads 
can be used to turn the system on or off, or to test or customize it. Fo\
r some procedures, the keypads’ commands 
are slightly different. In those cases, this manual contains two sets of\
 instructions, like those shown below. If you are 
using a Standard keypad, follow the instructions on the left. If you are\
 using a Premium keypad, follow the instructions 
on the right.
If the keypad looks like this:If the keypad looks like one of these:

Follow the instructions for the Standard keypad.Follow the instructions for the Premium keypad.
1. Press the OPTIONS key
2. Press the 7 key
1. Observe the number displayed in 
the message window. This is the 
zone that is not ready (there may 
be more than one).
2. Refer to the Pop-up Zone Card to 
verify the location of the zone.  
						

							Keypad Codes
When the system is installed, you select a three- or four-digit code num\
ber that you will use to arm and disarm the  
system. This is your keypad code. 
You can also create a separate keypad code for anyone who needs access t\
o your home (see page 23 for more  
information). You can change your keypad code and add or delete additio\
nal codes whenever you like, using  
the keypad.
If you have questions about programming, using or changing your keypad c\
ode, you can contact ADT’s Customer Care 
team at [email protected].     
Entering and Exiting 
Designated Doors 
The designated entry/exit doors are those doors that you must use to ent\
er and leave your home while the system is 
on. These doors may be equipped with the door sensors described on page \
3. If you use a different door to enter your 
home, an alarm may sound. 
Entry Delay 
When you enter your home while the security system is on, the keypad bee\
ps. This beeping reminds you to turn the 
system off. You must enter your keypad code before the beeping stops. If\
 you do not, an alarm is triggered. 
        Entry Delay Time: 
Exit Delay 
When you turn the system on in normal mode, you must exit the building a\
nd close the door before the exit delay ends. 
Once that delay has ended, you will trigger an alarm if you open a prote\
cted door or window, or move past a motion 
detector. 
 
           Exit Delay Time: 
Note: The length of the system’s entry and exit delays can be adjusted (wi\
thin certain limits). If you find it difficult to 
enter or exit your home before the delay ends, contact ADT Customer Care\
 at 800.445.0872 to have it changed.
