ADT Security Services Safewatch Plus Entrepreneur User Manual

							The bypass key (#) is used to bypass selected zones in your system. A bypassed zone
will NOT be capable of activating an alarm as it is temporarily removed from your
system. Bypassing (also referred to as shunting) is most commonly used to allow
free movement of an area (zone or group of zones) while arming the rest of the
system or to temporarily remove a zone or zones that require service allowing partial
use of the system until repaired. When zones are bypassed, the corresponding
ZONE indicators flash to indicate that they have been removed from operation. The
flashing will cease 30 seconds after the 
exit delay expires when the system is armed.cl

							ProgrammingCertain features of your system are programmable through the control station. The
programming mode is entered by pressing key 9 and holding for three seconds, then
entering the Master User Code.Other programming functions may be possible that
are not detailed in this section.Consult your security representative for a list of the
user programmable features of your system.
WARNING:Do not attempt to program the system unless you have been
properly trained on programming procedures and you are sure that you
fully understand thlsopwatlon.USER CODES
Your system may be programmed to accept up to five regular User Codes and one
Muster User Code. 
Each code may be comprised of any four digit sequence.(Do
not program 1234 or 1111 as User Codes). Codes may be added, deleted, or changed
as necessary.
The Master User Code (code 1) performs all of the User Code functions plus allows
access to the programming mode.
User Code 6 may be programmed as a Temporary User Code with a limited number
of valid uses, after which it becomes inoperable.
This code may be assigned to a
maintenance person, maid, or anyone who you would like to be able to arm and
disarm the system for a selected number of times without having to reveal your
regular code.A

							Notes 
						

							The TEST mode commands the control station to beep continuously and light the
corresponding zone indicator, each time a zone is violated. The zone indicator of
each tested zone will remain lighted while each succeeding zone is tested. Testing
can be performed only while the system is disarmed. Testing the system should be
performed in both ELECTRICAL ROWER AC ON and STANDBY BATTERY
modes. Your neighbors’ understanding and cooperation is very important. When
you are away from your residence (or commercial 
business),neighbors play an
important role. Advise them that you have a security system and ask them to notify
the proper authorities if your system is sounding. The burglar alarm typically has
a pulsing bell and a fire alarm has a steady horn sound. If the battery fuse lead is
opened, call your security representative for service.
Note: A 
lighted zone indicator means thst at least one sensor of that
particular zone 
h8S been tested. It does not necessarfly mean that all
sensors of that zone were tested. W is recommended that you test your
system on 8 weekly 
basis.

The system must be disarmed.
Use the zone I.D. card to determine the area of protection which corresponds to
each zone.
To simplify testing, all zones should first be secured (READY light ON). If it
is not possible to secure all zones prior to beginning the walk test mode, please
note that the control station will beep continuously as a result of the non-securezones. This will eliminate the advantages of the audible walk test mode,
although the zone indicator lights may still be relied upon for testing.
Press key 8 and hold for three seconds. The control station will beep three times
to signify entry into the TEST mode.
Violate a detection zone (open a door, window, etc.). The control station will
beep continuously and the indicator of the corresponding zone will light.
Secure the zone (close the door, window, etc.). The control station beeping will
cease.
The interior detection devices will also cause the control station to beep if
entering those protected areas when testing unless the INTERIOR is first turned
OFF.
You may also want to walk test motion detection devices to check whether
the pattern is covering the areas of concern.
Begin at step five to test the remaining sensors.
Press the “ * ”key when finished testing.
Note: Your system should be rsgutarly tested at lsast ones par week to
insure proper operation. 
Cantact your security representative for com-
plate instructions on regular system malrttenence and testing prooe-
dures.lf the wall mounted transformer which powers the system Is re-
moved for any reason, test the system to see If the standby battery Is
adequately powertng thesystem. Re+onnect the transformer, secure to
the 
wallplate with the restraining teb machine screw, and test the system
agaln to 8ssure It la recelvlng AC power.

							FIRE DETECTIONYour system may or may not include fire detection, depending upon what options
were purchased, and the local codes and regulations for your area. Fire alarm
systems are active 24 hours a day and cannot be turned off. A!! fire systems require
regular testing and maintenance.Common household dust build-up in smoke
detectors can cause them to false alarm or fail in a time of need. Consult your
security representative for a scheduled maintenance program.

6.The red ALARM indicator will be lighted and the alarm sounder will be
sounding steadily.The ZONE indicator(s) corresponding to the violated Fire
Zone(s) will also be lighted.If the alarm was activated manually through the
control station emergency panic zone, no ZONE indicators will be lighted.
Press the 
“ * ”key to silence the control station and the audible alarm.
Notify the alarm monitoring service or the proper authorities immediately
if the alarm was unintentional.
The 
red ALARM light will remain on.
To clear the alarm, enter a valid User Code.
If the TROUBLE indicator lights, a Fire Supervisory/Trouble condition may
exist. Consult your Security Representative to define the trouble condition.
Many smoke detectors “latch on” and illuminate a built in indicator when triggered.
This feature allows you to determine which detector caused the alarm.
If a smoke
detector remains latched after resetting a fiie alarm activation, the yellow TROUBLE
indicator will be lighted.
1.
2.
Check all smoke detectors for the presence of a latched condition to determine
which detector triggered the alarm. If all detectors appear normal, a wire may
be broken or shorted. Call for service.
Press Key 7 and hold for three seconds.The system will attempt to reset the
smoke detectors. If the smoke detector(s) did not reset, the control station will
continue to indicate the TROUBLE condition.
Call your security representa-
tive for service.

							Emergency Evacuation PlanPreparation and education are of prime importance in the prevention of fire. An
emergency evacuation plan should be established BEFORE an emergency situationarises. Your system may or may not contain 
fire detection and notification
equipment. Be sure to have your installer explain and that you fully understand
exactly what your system consists of. Use the following steps in establishing an
emergency evacuation plan:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Evaluate all possible escape routes from your home and draw a floor plan.
Select two exit escape routes from each mm.
Provide emergency escape ladders for rooms above the first floor. Check
the ladders to be sure that they will reach the ground.
Draw a rough sketch of your escape plan so that everyone is familiar with it.
Practice your escape plan to assure that everyone knows what they have to
do in an emergency situation.
6.Establish a meeting place outside where your family is to report.
7.Advise the local fire authority if you have installed a fire alarm system.
D Discuss the followlng wlth all residents:
1.
2.
3.
Familiarity with alarm signals.
Status of bedroom doors.
Testing of door during a fire and use of alternate escape routes if HOT to
touch.
4.Crawling and holding breath techniques during a fire.
5.Escape FAST, DO NOT STOP for packing.
6.Emphasize that no one is to return to a burning building.

							The purpose of heat and smoke detectors is to detect a fire in its earliest stages and
sound an alarm, giving occupants more time to exit the premises before smoke
reaches a dangerous level.
Cl KNOW FIRE HAZARDS
No 
detection device can protect life in all situations; therefore, safeguards should
be taken to avoid such potentially dangerous situations as smoking in bed, leaving
children home alone, and cleaning with flammable liquids such as gasoline.The best fire protection is minimizing 
fire hazards through proper storage of
materials and good housekeeping practices. Careless use of combustible materials
andelectricalappliances or overloading of electrical outlets are major causes of fire.
Explosive and fast burning materials must be eliminated from the home.
0 IN CASE OF FIRE
Leave immediately! Do not stop to pack or search for valuables. In heavy smoke,
hold your breath and stay low-crawl 
if necessary. The clearest air usually is at the
floor. If you have to go through 
a closed door, carefully feel the door and door knob
to see if undue heat is present. If relatively cool, brace your foot against the bottomofthedoorwithyourhipagainstthemiddle,andonehandagainstthetopedge.Open
slightly. If there is arush of hot air, slam the door quickly and latch it. Unvented fire
will build up considerable pressure. Be sure that all the household realizes this
danger.
Use your neighbors 
phone or street fire alarm box. The job of extinguishing the fire
should be left to the professionals. Too many unforeseen things can occur when
inexperienced people try to extinguish a fue.
0 BE PREPARED
Perform fire drills regularly. Use them to assure recognition of an alarm signal. For
your protection, simulate different circumstances (smoke the hall, living room,
etc.).Then haveeveryonereacttothesituation. Draw a floorplanandshow twoexits
from each room. It is important that children be instructed carefully. Their tendency
is to hide in a crisis.
It is imperative that one meeting place outside the home be established. You should
insist that everyone meet there during an alarm. This will eliminate the tragedy of
someone re-entering the house for a missing member who is actually safe.
If you have small children and/or invalids residing in your household, you can help
yourfnedepartmentby placingdecalson bedroom windows. Mostfiredepartments
supply the decals.
Become familiar with the distinctive sounds of your 
Fire alarm and Burglar alarm
signals.
