System Overview
Introduction to Your System
This system offers you three forms of protection: burglary, fire and emergency.
Monitoring is accomplished with various contact and motion sensors for perimeter
and interior burglary protection, plus strategically placed smoke, heat, or
combustion detectors.
Burglary Protection
The burglary protection portion of your system must be turned on or armed before
it will sense burglary alarm conditions. Your system provides three modes of
burglary protection: Away, Stay, and Night, and even allows you to “bypass”
selected zones of protection while leaving the rest of the system armed (e.g. this
enables you to arm the system but leave upper-story windows open.)
The system also provides a Chime mode, for alerting users to the opening and
closing of doors and windows even while the system is disarmed.
Partitions
PartitionsPartitions Partitions
This system provides the ability to arm and disarm up to eight different areas, each
as if it had its own control. These areas are called partitions. Partitions are used
when the user wants to disarm certain areas while leaving other areas armed, or to
limit access to certain areas to specific individuals. Each user of the system can be
authorized to operate all or only some partitions, and can be given different
privileges in each. Information about Partitions is presented later in this document.
Zones
ZonesZones Zones
Your systems sensing devices have been assigned to various zones. For example,
the sensing device on your Entry/Exit door may have been assigned to zone 001,
sensing devices on windows in the master bedroom to zone 002, and so on. These
numbers will appear on the display, along with a Custom English descriptor for that
zone (if programmed), when an alarm or trouble condition occurs.
Entry/Exit Delays
Entry/Exit DelaysEntry/Exit Delays Entry/Exit Delays
Your system has preset time delays, referred to as exit delay and entry delay.
Whenever you arm your system, exit delay gives you time to leave through the
designated exit door without setting off an alarm. Exit delay begins immediately
after entering any arming command, and applies to all modes of arming protection.
If programmed, a slow beeping will sound throughout the exit delay period.
Entry delay gives you time to disarm the system when you reenter through the
designated entrance door. But the system must be disarmed before the entry delay
period ends, or an alarm will occur. The Touchpad will beep during the entry delay
period, reminding you to disarm the system. Ask your installer about the delay
times programmed into your system.

Alarms
AlarmsAlarms Alarms
When an alarm occurs, iCenter/iCenter-i (and any other Touchpads) and external
sounders will sound, and the zone(s) causing the alarm are displayed. If your
system is connected to a central monitoring station, an alarm message will also be
sent. To stop the alarm sounding, simply disarm the system.
Memory of Alarm
Memory of AlarmMemory of Alarm Memory of Alarm
When an alarm condition occurs, the number(s) of the zone(s) that caused the
problem are displayed, along with the type of alarm (e. g. FIRE, ALARM). These
remains displayed until cleared by disarming the system.
Fire Protection
The fire protection portion of your security system (if used) is always on and will
sound an alarm if a fire condition is detected.
User Codes
Each user must be assigned a name with a corresponding 4-digit user code in order
to gain access to various features and functions. Through iCenter/iCenter-i, you may
program users to access any and all of the following systems:
• Fire/Burglary
• Internet
Users for the systems are programmed in a central user setup location that provides
the specific questions for the user pertaining to each system. You may want these
users to be the same, but there are situations in which you may want a user to have
access to one system (e.g., Message Center) without having access to another (e.g.,
the Fire/Burglary system).
Internet Features
As a household Internet appliance, ICenter/iCenter-i provides access to a wealth of
information, including:
• News
• Sports
• Weather
• E-mail, and
• Updates of user-selectable content such as your horoscope.
Additionally, you may control all of iCenter/iCenter-i’s functions from any personal
computer or laptop that has Internet capabilities, including security system
functions (arming, disarming, etc.) and to check to see if you have a voice message.
System Overview (Contd) 13 Extended Functionality Extended functions are advanced functions that can be accessed through a standard Custom English Touchpad or through emulation mode on your iCenter/iCenter-i touch screen. Refer to your Control Panel User Guide for these features.
