Access Code Programming
In addition to the Master Access Code, you can program up to 16 additional User Access codes. Press
, plus your Master Access Code, the armed ( ) indicator will turn on.
Enter the 2-digit number to be programmed (i.e. 06 for user access code 6; enter 40 for the Master
Access Code) or use the  keys to find the specific code and press  to select. Enter the new
4 -digit access code. When programming is complete, enter another 2-digit code to program or press
 to exit. 
The access codes have programmable attributes which allow zone bypassing, duress, supervisor or
one-time use activation. 
Access Codes
[4][5][Master Code] (when disarmed)
The [4][5] User’s Programming command is used to program additional access codes.
User Codes - User Codes 1-16 are available for the System. 
Master Code (Access Code 40) - The Master Code has all of the attributes listed in the Program-
mable Attributes list below except for Duress (2) and One Time Use (8) and is required to program all
Supervisor Code attributes.
Supervisor Codes - These codes are always valid when entering the   User Code Program-
ming section. However, these codes can only program additional codes which have equal or lesser
attributes. Once programmed, the Supervisor Codes receive the Master Code’s attributes. These
attributes are changeable. Any User Code can be made a supervisor code by enabling User Code
Attribute 1 (please see below for details). 
Duress Codes - Duress codes are standard User Codes that will transmit the Duress Reporting Code
whenever the code is entered to perform any function on the system. Any User Code can be made a
Duress Code by enabling User Code Attribute 2 (please see below for details). 
One Time Use Code - This code permits temporary access to the system for a 24 Hr. time
period. During the 24 Hr. period, the temporary user may disarm the system once. There is no
restriction on the number of times the temporary user may arm the system during the time
period.
NOTE: Duress codes are not valid when entering [
4][5], [4][6] or [4][8] sections.
NOTE: Access codes cannot be programmed as a duplicate or as a “Code +/- 1”.
User Code Attributes
1. The default attributes of a new code will be the attributes of the code used to enter   
whether it is a new code or an existing code being programmed. 
2. System Master (Code 40) has Attribute 3 ON by default. 
NOTE: These attributes are not changeable.
Inherent Attributes (all codes except installer)
Arm / Disarm - Any Access Code will be valid for arming and disarming the system.
Command Outputs ([4][7][1] and [4][7][2]) - If these outputs require Access Code entry, any
Access Code is valid for performing the [4][7][1-2][Access Code] functions on the system.
Programmable Attributes ([4][5][Master/Supervisor Code [9][Code])
1 Supervisor Code
2 Duress Code
3 Zone Bypassing Enabled
4-6 For Future Use
7 Bell Squawk upon Away Arming/Disarming
8 One Time Use Code
Zone Bypassing Attribute
This attribute allows the User to manually bypass zones if Bypassing requires an access code. 
						

							8
Bell Squawk Attribute
This attribute is used to determine whether an access code should generate an arming/disarming Bell
Squawk upon entry of the code for Away arming. The Wireless Keys with access codes associated
with them may generate Arming/Disarming Bell squawks. If desired, this option may be used with
codes that are manually entered. Please contact your installer to have this programmed.
NOTE: The Master Code cannot use the Bell Squawk attribute, but is required to enable it for other 
codes. 
NOTE: This feature cannot prevent the Arm/Disarming squawks from being generated if an access 
code assigned to a WLS Key is manually entered at a keypad.
Erasing an Access Code
To erase a code, select the code and enter   as the first digit. If   is entered, the system will
delete the code immediately and the user will be returned to select another code.

Guidelines for Locating Smoke Detectors
Research has shown that all hostile fires in homes generate smoke to a greater or lesser extent.
Experiments with typical fires in homes indicate that detectable quantities of smoke precede
detectable levels of heat in most cases. For these reasons, smoke alarms should be installed out-
side of each sleeping area and on each storey of the home.
The following information is for general guidance only and it is recommended that local fire
codes and regulations be consulted when locating and installing smoke alarms.
It is recommended that additional smoke alarms beyond those required for minimum protec-
tion be installed. Additional areas that should be protected include: the basement; bedrooms,
especially where smokers sleep; dining rooms; furnace and utility rooms; and any hallways not
protected by the required units.
On smooth ceilings, detectors may be spaced 9.1m (30 feet) apart as a guide. Other spacing
may be required depending on ceiling height, air movement, the presence of joists, uninsulated
ceilings, etc. Consult National Fire Alarm Code NFPA 72, CAN/ULC-S553-M86 or other appro-
priate national standards for installation recommendations. 
 Do not locate smoke detectors at the top of peaked or gabled ceilings; the dead air space in 
these locations may prevent the unit from detecting smoke.
 Avoid areas with turbulent air flow, such as near doors, fans or windows. Rapid air movement 
around the detector may prevent smoke from entering the unit.
 Do not locate detectors in areas of high humidity.
 Do not locate detectors in areas where the temperature rises above 38
oC (100oF) or falls 
below 5oC (41oF).
 Smoke detectors should always be installed in accordance with NFPA 72, the National Fire 
Alarm Code. Smoke detectors should always be located in accordance with:
‘Smoke detectors shall be installed outside of each separate sleeping area in the immediate vi-
cinity of the bedrooms and on each additional storey of the family living unit, including base-
ments and excluding crawl spaces and unfinished attics. In new construction, a smoke detector
also shall be installed in each sleeping room’.’Split level arrangement: Smoke detectors are re-
quired where shown. Smoke detectors are optional where a door is not provided between liv-
ing room and recreation room’.

Household Fire Safety Audit
Read this section carefully for important information about fire safety.
Most fires occur in the home. To minimize this danger, we recommend that a household fire 
safety audit be conducted and a fire escape plan be developed.
1. Are all electrical appliances and outlets in a safe condition? Check for frayed cords, overloaded 
lighting circuits, etc. If you are uncertain about the condition of your electrical appliances or 
household service, have a professional evaluate these units.
2. Are all flammable liquids stored safely in closed containers in a well-ventilated cool area? Clean-
ing with flammable liquids should be avoided.
3. Are fire-hazardous materials (matches) well out of reach of children?
4. Are furnaces and wood-burning appliances properly installed, clean and in good working order? 
Have a professional evaluate these appliances.
Fire Escape Planning
There is often very little time between the detection of a fire and the time it becomes deadly. It is thus
very important that a family escape plan be developed and rehearsed.
1. Every family member should participate in developing the escape plan.
2. Study the possible escape routes from each location within the house. Since many fires occur at 
night, special attention should be given to the escape routes from sleeping quarters.
3. Escape from a bedroom must be possible without opening the interior door. 
Consider the following when making your escape plans:
 Make sure that all border doors and windows are easily opened. Ensure that they are not painted 
shut, and that their locking mechanisms operate smoothly.
 If opening or using the exit is too difficult for children, the elderly or handicapped, plans for res-
cue should be developed. This includes making sure that those who are to perform the rescue 
can promptly hear the fire warning signal.
 If the exit is above the ground level, an approved fire ladder or rope should be provided as well as 
training in its use.
 Exits on the ground level should be kept clear. Be sure to remove snow from exterior patio doors 
in winter; outdoor furniture or equipment should not block exits.
 Each person should know of a predetermined assembly point where everyone can be accounted 
for (e.g., across the street or at a neighbor’s house). Once everyone is out of the building, call the 
Fire Department.
 A good plan emphasizes quick escape. Do not investigate or attempt to fight the fire, and do not 
gather belongings or pets as this wastes valuable time. Once outside, do not re-enter the house. 
Wait for the fire department.
 Write the fire escape plan down and rehearse it frequently so that should an emergency arise, 
everyone will know what to do. Revise the plan as conditions change, such as the number of 
people in the home, or if there are changes to the building’s construction.
 Make sure your fire warning system is operational by conducting weekly tests. If you are unsure 
about system operation, contact your installing dealer.
 We recommend that you contact your local fire department and request further information on 
fire safety and escape planning. If available, have your local fire prevention officer conduct an in-
house fire safety inspection.

							WAR NING Please Read CarefullyNote to Installers
This warning contains vital information. As the only individual in contact
with system users, it is your responsibility to bring each item in this warn-
ing to the attention of the users of this system.
System Failures
This system has been carefully designed to be as effective as possible.
There are circumstances, however, involving fire, burglary, or other types
of emergencies where it may not provide protection. Any alarm system of
any type may be compromised deliberately or may fail to operate as
expected for a variety of reasons. Some but not all of these reasons may
be:
■ Inadequate Installation
A security system must be installed properly in order to provide adequate
protection. Every installation should be evaluated by a security profes-
sional to ensure that all access points and areas are covered. Locks and
latches on windows and doors must be secure and operate as intended.
Windows, doors, walls, ceilings and other building materials must be of
sufficient strength and construction to provide the level of protection
expected. A reevaluation must be done during and after any construction
activity. An evaluation by the fire and/or police department is highly rec-
ommended if this service is available.
■ Criminal Knowledge
This system contains security features which were known to be effective
at the time of manufacture. It is possible for persons with criminal intent
to develop techniques which reduce the effectiveness of these features. It
is important that a security system be reviewed periodically to ensure that
its features remain effective and that it be updated or replaced if it is found
that it does not provide the protection expected.
■ Access by Intruders
Intruders may enter through an unprotected access point, circumvent a
sensing device, evade detection by moving through an area of insufficient
coverage, disconnect a warning device, or interfere with or prevent the
proper operation of the system.
■ Power Failure
Control units, intrusion detectors, smoke detectors and many other secu-
rity devices require an adequate power supply for proper operation. If a
device operates from batteries, it is possible for the batteries to fail. Even
if the batteries have not failed, they must be charged, in good condition
and installed correctly. If a device operates only by AC power, any inter-
ruption, however brief, will render that device inoperative while it does
not have power. Power interruptions of any length are often accompanied
by voltage fluctuations which may damage electronic equipment such as a
security system. After a power interruption has occurred, immediately
conduct a complete system test to ensure that the system operates as
intended.
■ Failure of Replaceable Batteries
This system’s wireless transmitters have been designed to provide several
years of battery life under normal conditions. The expected battery life is
a function of the device environment, usage and type. Ambient conditions
such as high humidity, high or low temperatures, or large temperature
fluctuations may reduce the expected battery life. While each transmitting
device has a low battery monitor which identifies when the batteries need
to be replaced, this monitor may fail to operate as expected. Regular test-
ing and maintenance will keep the system in good operating condition.
■ Compromise of Radio Frequency (Wireless) Devices
Signals may not reach the receiver under all circumstances which could
include metal objects placed on or near the radio path or deliberate jam-
ming or other inadvertent radio signal interference.
■ System Users
A user may not be able to operate a panic or emergency switch possibly
due to permanent or temporary physical disability, inability to reach the
device in time, or unfamiliarity with the correct operation. It is important
that all system users be trained in the correct operation of the alarm sys-
tem and that they know how to respond when the system indicates an
alarm.
■ Smoke Detectors
Smoke detectors that are a part of this system may not properly alert occu-
pants of a fire for a number of reasons, some of which follow. The smoke
detectors may have been improperly installed or positioned. Smoke may
not be able to reach the smoke detectors, such as when the fire is in a
chimney, walls or roofs, or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke
detectors may not detect smoke from fires on another level of the resi-
dence or building.
Every fire is different in the amount of smoke produced and the rate of
burning. Smoke detectors cannot sense all types of fires equally well.
Smoke detectors may not provide timely warning of fires caused by care-
lessness or safety hazards such as smoking in bed, violent explosions,
escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded elec-
trical circuits, children playing with matches or arson.
Even if the smoke detector operates as intended, there may be circum-
stances when there is insufficient warning to allow all occupants to escape
in time to avoid injury or death.
■ Motion Detectors
Motion detectors can only detect motion within the designated areas as
shown in their respective installation instructions. They cannot discrimi-
nate between intruders and intended occupants. Motion detectors do not
provide volumetric area protection. They have multiple beams of detec-
tion and motion can only be detected in unobstructed areas covered by
these beams. They cannot detect motion which occurs behind walls, ceil-
ings, floor, closed doors, glass partitions, glass doors or windows. Any
type of tampering whether intentional or unintentional such as masking,
painting, or spraying of any material on the lenses, mirrors, windows or
any other part of the detection system will impair its proper operation.
Passive infrared motion detectors operate by sensing changes in tempera-
ture. However their effectiveness can be reduced when the ambient tem-
perature rises near or above body temperature or if there are intentional or
unintentional sources of heat in or near the detection area. Some of these
heat sources could be heaters, radiators, stoves, barbecues, fireplaces, sun-
light, steam vents, lighting and so on.
■ Warning Devices 
Warning devices such as sirens, bells, horns, or strobes may not warn peo-
ple or waken someone sleeping if there is an intervening wall or door. If
warning devices are located on a different level of the residence or
premise, then it is less likely that the occupants will be alerted or awak-
ened. Audible warning devices may be interfered with by other noise
sources such as stereos, radios, televisions, air conditioners or other appli-
ances, or passing traffic. Audible warning devices, however loud, may not
be heard by a hearing-impaired person.
■ Telephone Lines
If telephone lines are used to transmit alarms, they may be out of service
or busy for certain periods of time. Also an intruder may cut the telephone
line or defeat its operation by more sophisticated means which may be
difficult to detect.
■ Insufficient Time
There may be circumstances when the system will operate as intended,
yet the occupants will not be protected from the emergency due to their
inability to respond to the warnings in a timely manner. If the system is
monitored, the response may not occur in time to protect the occupants or
their belongings.
■ Component Failure
Although every effort has been made to make this system as reliable as
possible, the system may fail to function as intended due to the failure of a
component.
■ Inadequate Testing
Most problems that would prevent an alarm system from operating as
intended can be found by regular testing and maintenance. The complete
system should be tested weekly and immediately after a break-in, an
attempted break-in, a fire, a storm, an earthquake, an accident, or any kind
of construction activity inside or outside the premises. The testing should
include all sensing devices, keypads, consoles, alarm indicating devices
and any other operational devices that are part of the system.
■ Security and Insurance
Regardless of its capabilities, an alarm system is not a substitute for prop-
erty or life insurance. An alarm system also is not a substitute for property
owners, renters, or other occupants to act prudently to prevent or mini-
mize the harmful effects of an emergency situation.
