Ringer Equivalence Number (REN)
The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be con-
nected to a telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may re-
sult in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most 
but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be 
certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as de-
termined by the total RENs, contact the local Telephone Company. For 
products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part 
of the product identifier that has the format US: AAAEQ##TXXXX. 
The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 
03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown 
on the label.
  REN = 0.1B

other equipment (telephone, answering system, computer modem, etc.)
already has the telephone line in use. To do so, alarm dialling equipment
must be connected to a properly installed RJ-31X jack that is electrically
in series with and ahead of all other equipment attached to the same tele-
phone line. Proper installation is depicted in the figure below. If you have
any questions concerning these instructions, you should consult your tel-
ephone company or a qualified installer about installing the RJ-31X jack
and alarm dialling equipment for you.

New Zealand -   The following is a list of warnings applicable when this equipment is connected to the New Zealand Telecom Network. 
General Warning
The grant of a Telepermit for any item of terminal equipment indicates only that Telecom has accepted that the 
item complies with minimum conditions for connection to its network. It indicates no endorsement of the product 
by Telecom, nor does it provide any sort of warranty. Above all, it provides no assurance that any item will work 
correctly in all respects with another item of Telepermitted equipment of a different make or model, nor does it 
imply that any product is compatible with all of Telecoms network services.
Reverse Numbering (decadic signalling)
Decadic signalling should not be used as it is being progressively phased out of the network. DTMF dialling is 
100% available and it should always be used.
Line Grabbing Equipment
This equipment is set up to carry out test calls at pre-determined times. Such test calls will interrupt any other 
calls that may be set up on the line at the same time. The timing set for such test calls should be discussed with the 
installer.
The timing set for test calls from this equipment may be subject to drift. If this proves to be inconvenient and 
your calls are interrupted, then the problem of timing should be discussed with the equipment installer. The mat-
ter should NOT be reported as a fault to Telecom Faults Service.
D.C. Line Feed to Other Devices
During dialling, this device unit does not provide DC voltage to the series port connection and this may cause loss 
of memory functions for the terminal devices (local telephone) connected to T-1, R-1.
General Operation (ringer sensitivity and loading)
This device only responds to Distinctive Alert cadences DA1 and DA2.

About Your Security System
Your Security System has been designed to provide you with the greatest possible flexibility and con-
venience. Read this manual carefully and have your installer instruct you on your systems operation
and on which features have been implemented in your system. All users of this system should be
equally instructed in its use. Fill out the “System Information” page with all of your zone information
and access codes and store this manual in a safe place for future reference.
NOTE:  Please consult your installer for further information regarding the false alarm reduction 
features built into your system as all are not covered in this manual.
Fire DetectionThis equipment is capable of monitoring fire detection devices such as smoke detectors and provid-
ing a warning if a fire condition is detected. Good fire detection depends on having adequate num-
ber of detectors placed in appropriate locations. This equipment should be installed in accordance
with NFPA 72 (N.F.P.A., Battery march Park, Quince MA 02269). Carefully review the Family Escape
Planning guidelines in this manual.
NOTE: Your installer must enable the fire detection portion of this equipment before it becomes 
functional.
TestingTo ensure that your system continues to function as intended, you must test your system weekly.
Please refer to the “Testing your System” section in this manual. If your system does not function
properly, call your installing company for service.
MonitoringThis system is capable of transmitting alarms, troubles & emergency information to a central station. If you
initiate an alarm by mistake, immediately call the central station to prevent an unnecessary response.
NOTE: The monitoring function must be enabled by the installer before it becomes functional.
NOTE: This system has a communicator delay of 30 seconds. It can be removed, or it can be 
increased up to 45 seconds by the installer.
NOTE: Ensure that your Installer verifies that your system is compatible with the Central Station 
Receiver format at yearly intervals.
MaintenanceWith normal use, the system requires minimum maintenance. Note the following points:
 Do not wash the security equipment with a wet cloth. Light dusting with a slightly moistened cloth 
should remove normal accumulations of dust.
 DSC recommends replacing the standby batteries every 4-5 years.
 For other system devices such as smoke detectors, motion detectors, glassbreak detectors or door/
window contacts, consult the manufacturer’s literature for testing and maintenance instructions if 
applicable.
General System OperationYour security system comprises an integrated alarm control/keypad and various sensors and detec-
tors. The system is mounted by the main exit/entry location. The system is self-contained; electronics
and standby battery are housed within the keypad unit. 
NOTE: Only the installer or service professional should have access to the system. 
The security system has several zones of area protection. Each of these zones communicates to a sin-
gle wireless sensor (motion detectors, glassbreak detectors, door contacts, etc.) or to one or more
hard wired sensors. A sensor in alarm is indicated by messages on the LCD keypad. 
Additional features include: Automatic Inhibit (Swinger Shutdown) for Alarm; Tamper and Trouble
signals after 3 occurrences in a given set period; and a Programmable Keypad Lockout option.
NOTE: For SIA CP-01 classified installations, the swinger shutdown feature is programmed such
that one or two trips will shut down the zone. The zone will be restored after a manual reset (by
entering the access code at the time of disarming the alarm system) or it will be reset automatically
after 48 hrs with no trips on any zones.

 Controls & Indicators
IMPORTANT NOTICEA security system cannot prevent emergencies. It is only intended to alert you and – if included – your
central station of an emergency situation. Security systems are generally very reliable but they may
not work under all conditions and they are not a substitute for prudent security practices or life and
property insurance. Your security system should be installed and serviced by qualified security profes-
sionals who should instruct you on the level of protection that has been provided and on system
operations.
Language Selection
Your system can display messages in different languages. 
1. Press and hold both   keys simultaneously.
2. Using the   keys, scroll through the available languages.
3. Press   to select your desired language.
Arming & Disarming the System
Stay ArmingStay arming will bypass the interior protection (i.e. motion sensors) and arm the perimeter of the sys-
tem (i.e. doors and windows). Close all sensors (i.e. stop motion and close doors). The Ready ( )
indicator should be on. 
Press and hold the Stay key for 2 seconds and/or enter your Access Code and do not leave the pre-
mises. During the setting state (exit delay active), the Armed ( ) and Ready ( ) indicators will light. 
When the exit delay is completed, the alarm system is armed/set and this is indicated on the keypad
as follows: the Ready ( ) indicator will turn off, the Armed ( ) indicator will remain on.
The Armed ( ) indicator and a bypass message will be displayed. The system will automatically
bypass certain interior sensors (i.e. motion sensors).
NOTE: For SIA FAR listed panels, the Stay Arming Exit Delay will be twice as long as the Away 
Arming Exit Delay.
NOTE: If your system is installed in accordance with SIA CP-01 Standard for False Alarm 
Reduction then the security system will arm in the Stay Armed mode if the exit delay time expires 
and no exit has been made. 
						

							3
Night ArmingTo fully arm the system when it has been armed in Stay Mode, press   at the keypad. All inte-
rior zones will now be armed except for devices programmed as Night Zones. 
Night zones are only armed in Away mode, this permits limited movement within the premises when
the system is fully armed. Ensure that your installer has provided you with a list identifying zones pro-
grammed as night zones.
When the interior zones have been activated (i.e.,  ) you must enter your access code to dis-
arm the system to gain access to interior areas that have not been programmed as night zones.
Silent Exit DelayIf the system is armed using the Stay key or using the ’No Entry’ Arming method ( [access
code]), the audible progress annunciation (keypad buzzer) will be silenced and the exit time will be
doubled for that exit period only.
Away Arming
Close all sensors (i.e. stop motion and close doors). The Ready ( ) indicator should be on.
To arm, press and hold the Away Key for 2 seconds and/or enter your Access Code, or press 
to Quick Arm. During the setting state (exit delay active) the Armed ( ) and Ready ( ) indicators will
turn on, and the keypad will sound one beep per second. You now have ____ seconds to leave the
premises (please check with your installer to have this time programmed). An audible annunciation,
whose pulsating rate is distinctly different, will sound during the last ten seconds of the exit delay to
warn person(s) that the exit delay is running out. To cancel the arming sequence, enter your access
code.
When the exit delay is completed, the alarm system is armed/set and this is indicated on the keypad
as follows: the Ready ( ) indicator will turn off, the Armed ( ) indicator will remain on and the key-
pad will stop sounding. 
NOTE: If your system is installed in accordance with SIA CP-01 Standard for False Alarm 
Reduction then the violation, restoral followed by a second violation of the entry/exit zone before 
the end of the exit delay will restart the exit delay.
Quick Exit
If the system is armed and you need to exit, use the Quick Exit function to avoid disarming and
rearming the system. Press and hold the Quick Exit key for 2 seconds or press  . You now have
2 minutes to leave the premises through your exit door. When the door is closed again, the remain-
ing exit time is cancelled.
Bell/Siren Sounds After Away Arming
Audible Exit Fault
In an attempt to reduce false alarms, the Audible Exit Fault is designed to notify you of an improper
exit when arming the system. In the event that you fail to securely close the Exit/Entry door during
the allotted exit delay period, the system will sound the alarm to indicate an improper exit. 
Your installer will tell you if this feature has been enabled on your system. If this occurs:
1. Re-enter the premises.
2. Enter your [access code] to disarm the system. You must do this before the entry delay timer 
expires.
3. Follow the Away arming procedure again, ensure that the entry/exit door(s) are secured.
Arming Error
An error tone will sound if the system is unable to arm. This will happen if the system is not ready to
arm (i.e. sensors are open), or if an incorrect user code has been entered. If this happens, ensure all
sensors are secure, press   and try again. 
DisarmingEnter your access code to disarm anytime the system is armed (Armed ( ) indicator is on). The key-
pad will sound a continuous tone after the entry delay has been initiated by opening the entry/exit
door. Enter your code within _____ seconds to avoid an alarm condition (check with your installer to
have this time programmed).
Disarming Error
If your code is invalid, the system will not disarm and a 2-second error tone will sound. If this hap-
pens, press   and try again.

Remote Arming and DisarmingThe system can be armed and/or disarmed (if programmed by the installer) using a remote control
device (wireless key). When arming the system by using the Arm button on the wireless key, the system
will acknowledge the command by sounding a single bell squawk  and when disarming using the Dis-
arm button on the wireless key the system will acknowledge the command by sounding two bell
squawks . Three squawks heard when disarming with the disarm button indicates that that an alarm
occurred while the system was armed. If you are unsure of the cause of the alarm, proceed with cau-
tion.
Emergency Keys
Press the   (F),  (A) or   (P) key for 2 seconds to generate a Fire, Auxiliary or Panic alarm. The
keypad sounder will beep indicating that the alarm input has been accepted and transmission to the
central station is underway. The   (
P) key may or may not sound the bell depending on Installer
setup.
NOTE: The Fire keys can be disabled by the installer. 
When Alarm SoundsThe system can generate 2 different alarm sounds:
 Continuous Siren = Intrusion (Burglary Alarm)
 Temporal / Pulsed Siren = Fire Alarm
Intrusion (Burglary) Alarm Continuous Siren
NOTE: If you are unsure of the source of the alarm, proceed with caution! If the alarm was 
accidental, enter your Access Code to silence the alarm. If the alarm system is disarmed within the 
programmed Abort Window (check with the installer if this option has been enabled on your system 
and what is the transmitter delay time programmed), no alarm transmission to the Central Station

Bypassing Zones
Use the zone bypassing feature when you need access to a protected area while the system is armed,
or when a zone is temporarily out of service, but you need to arm the system. Bypassed zones will
not be able to sound an alarm. Bypassing zones reduces the level of security. If you are bypassing a
zone because it is not working, call a service technician immediately so that the problem can be
resolved and your system returned to proper working order. Ensure that no zones are unintentionally
